Tail risk metrics such as VaR and, especially ES are and have become of great importance to both investors and financial institutions such as banks in determining their amount of loss absorbing capital given the Basel framework. Estimating these metrics have become trivial, but to do it accurately while also taking market conditions such as periods of market stress into account still presents chal
This paper presents a first prototype of ClimaSynth, a web-based interactive application that allows to creatively transform environmental sounds in response to climate change scenarios. ClimaSynth serves as an instrument for enhancing environmental perception through sonic interaction. The underlying algorithm uses real-time granular synthesis and web technologies to encode climatic effects in so
The article treats panorama scenes in the novels Father Goriot (1837–1843) by Honoré de Balzac and The Red Room (1879) by August Strindberg. My observations focus on the main characters Eugène de Rastignac and Arvid Falk, and the emotions that the capital arise in them where they stand in their high positions in front of Paris and Stockholm respectively; Rastignac on the hill of the Père Lachaise
The selling or procuring of sexual services was never an uncontroversial part of the everyday exchange of goods and services in Western culture. Instead, it has been represented as a problem since (at least) the Middle Ages, and the problem descriptions have had different functions as the social, economic and cultural organisation of society was changing. Men selling sex to men, on the other hand,
Common commercial beans were cooked using two procedures: under pressure (autoclaving) and traditional cooking. Total starch extraction was higher in beans cooked with the traditional procedure (41.69-42.81%) than in the autoclaved samples (37.04-38.16%) and did not change during storage at 4°C. However, available and total resistant starch levels in vitro were not influenced by the cooking proced
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a novel architectural model for cloud network infrastructure, improving resource utilization, scalability and administration. SDN deployments increasingly rely on virtual switches executing on commodity operating systems with large code bases, which are prime targets for adversaries attacking the network infrastructure. We describe and implement TruSDN , a fr
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to present some methods to analyse and determine the performance of compact heat exchangers; show the applicability of various computational approaches and their limitations, provide examples to demonstrate the methods, and present results to highlight the opportunities and limitations of the considered methods. Design/methodology/approach - Engineering metho
Sweden is one of the countries in Europe with the largest percentage of volunteers in the population. At the same time, challenges in the society are increasing. Events such as the migration crisis 2015, the wildfires 2018 and the Covid-19 pandemic have shown an expanding interest among people to contribute to society. As a private person it can be hard to know where to start when wanting to becom
Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is a radio frequency (RF) technique that can be used to detect the presence of quadrupolar nuclei, such as the 14N nucleus prevalent in many explosives and narcotics. The technique has been hampered by low signal-to-noise ratios and is further aggravated by the presence of RF interference (RFI). To ensure accurate detection, proposed detectors should exploit the
