The ability to determine sex from unknown skeletal remains is vital, and methods to do this on the various bones of the human skeleton have been researched extensively. Many researchers have emphasized the need for population specific data for methods which are based on measurements, as there are vast differences in body size in various populations. The pelvis is known to be the most sexually d...

The handbook of behavior genetics (HBG) includes a diverse and fairly comprehensive compilation of chapters on topics ranging from human behavioral laterality to animal models of aggression. An outstanding introductory chapter on the history of behavior genetics guides the reader from the earliest references to inheritance of behavior in Homer’s Odyssey to the establishment of the Behavior Gene...

We develop a new closed-form approximation method for pricing spread options. Numerical analysis shows that our method is more accurate than existing analytical approximations. Our method is also extremely fast, with computing time more than two orders of magnitude shorter than one-dimensional numerical integration. We also develop closed-form approximations for the greeks of spread options. In...

Were the ancients Greeks “racists” in the modern sense of the term “racist”? The terms ancient Greek “proto-racism”, tribalism (and/or racism) are used here to denote the abstract, narcissistic notion that not only the non-Greek barbarians, but also certain ancient Greek tribes (like the Macedonians, the Boeoteans etc.) should be excluded from the Hellenic community, for they were considered to...

ewangelyōn zīndag is one of the mani’s own writhings in syraic. this book is quoted in iranian manichaean, greek, coptic, latain, chinese, and islamic texts.the complet quotation comes in greeks kӧlner mani-codex(cmc) and coptic ones. iranian texts of ewangelyōn zīndag come in middle persain, parthian and soghdian fragments. after this are the chinese fragments. islamic texts are sorely very de...

We investigate a machine learning approach to option Greeks approximation based on Gaussian Process (GP) surrogates. Our motivation is implement Delta hedging in cases where direct computation expensive, such as local volatility models, or can only ever be done approximately. The proposed method takes noisily observed prices, fits non-parametric input-output map and then analytically differenti...

We introduce a quantum algorithm to compute the market risk of financial derivatives. Previous work has shown that amplitude estimation can accelerate derivative pricing quadratically in target error and we extend this quadratic scaling advantage computation. show employing gradient algorithms deliver further number associated sensitivities, usually called greeks. By numerically simulating on d...

The meeting of people and cultures in the Mediterranean is as old art shipping. Especially Minoans (let me call them pre-Greeks), their successors Greeks themselves, Phoenicians but also Egyptians Assyrians have traveled, traded, fought frequently for centuries. Cypro-Minoan Cypro-Mycenaean relations are well documented area around Greek Islands Cyprus full traces glory that now represented sha...

We develop in this article a geometric approach to duality in Multiple Objective Linear Programming. This approach is based on a very old idea, the duality of polytopes, which can be traced back to the old Greeks. We show that there is an inclusion reversing one-to-one map between the minimal faces of the image of the primal objective and the maximal faces of the image of the dual objective map.
