Bio-control of root rot disease in vanilla
Fusarium oxysporum Schl. var. vanillae (Tucker) Gondon is known to cause root rot in Vanilla planifolia Andrews in most regions where it is grown, including the major plantations in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province of China. This is of serious economic concern to the Province since the vanilla …

Catechyl-lignin tissues in Vanilla orchid and Candlenut: structure/property studies
… (C)-lignin was found in the seed coat of vanilla orchid (Vanilla planifolia) and Melocactus cacti, and later in the nutshell of Aleurites moluccana (candlenut). This caffeyl alcohol homopolymer is the exclusive lignin in vanilla seed coat but separated in time and/or location with guaiacyl …

Characterizations of and closed-form solutions for plain vanilla and exotic derivatives
… derive closed-form solutions for European plain vanilla options. A further extension to displaced gamma tails is possible while retaining full analytical tractability. We propose an efficient routine to estimate the physical model parameters through maximum likelihood. Our empirical analysis …

Characterisation and detection of viruses (Cucumovirus, Potyvirus) infecting vanilla in Réunion Island and Polynesian Islands
Natural vanilla (Vanilla planifolia, V. tahitensis) is economically important for a number of producing countries, but viral diseases are prejudicial to its successful cultivation. Techniques are required to detect viruses in vanilla plants in order to establish quarantine procedures and sources of …

Effects of Milk Fat, Homogenization, and Stabilizer-Emulsifier Blend on the Texture of Vanilla Ice Cream
<p>Vanilla ice creams were made with two levels of milk fat (11 or 16%), two levels of homogenization (single or double), two levels of stabilizer-emulsifier blend (0.35 or 0.43%), 11 % milk solids-not-fat (MSNF), 13% sucrose, and 3% com syrup solids. Eight batches of ice cream mixes were made and …

Bewertung von DAX-Optionsscheinen. Eine theoretische und empirische Analyse der Bewertung von Plain-Vanilla-Optionsscheinen auf den Deutschen Aktienindex (DAX)
Mit vorliegender Arbeit wird versucht, die Validität des Black/Scholes- und des Barone-Adesi/Whaley-Optionsbewertungsmodells, bezogen auf ein breites Spektrum der in Deutschland börsennotierten Optionsscheine auf den wichtigsten nationalen Aktienindex, den Deutschen Aktienindex DAX, theoretisch zu …

Development and Application of An Integrated GC-MS/MS and GC-IRMS Analytical Approach in Food Quality Evaluation
… the potential of this integrated approach: vanilla extracts and peppermint-flavoured products. These two flavouring materials were selected because of their wide use in various products and frequent involvement in cases of adulteration and mislabelling. The first case study focused on …

Human rights and social injustice in Nadie me vera llorar's Mexico of 1880-1930.
… icon, explores the conflicted history of vanilla as it is intimately intertwined with the history of Mexico and its people. This thesis offers a deep dive into the history of vanilla, from a prized and sacred crop of the indigenous Totonac people to the vessel of brutal oppression of said …

Stochastic time-changed Lévy processes with their implementation
… volatility models for pricing European vanilla options and exotic options. We calibrated five models to European options on the S&P500 and used the calibrated models to price a cliquet option using Monte Carlo simulation. We provide the algorithms required to value the options when using …

Option pricing with physics-informed neutral networks (PINNS)
… to solve the Black-Scholes-Merton PDE for a vanilla European option. The numerical solutions from the PINN are compared against the true analytical solution – the Black-Scholes-Merton equation. The problem is also extended by incorporating a local volatility model. Here, we derive the PDE of …

Geo-Informed Deep Learning for Spatial Downscaling of Solute Transport in Heterogeneous Porous Media
… the results with standalone methods, namely the vanilla autoencoder and vanilla SRGAN in addition to ground truth profiles generated by finite element method (FEM). The comparison are performed based on several statistical metrics such as absolute point error (APE), mean squared error (MSE), peak …

Herd behavior index for bespoke baskets: approximation via convex ordering
… between stock prices only based on today's vanilla options by applying the Herd Behavior Index in bespoke baskets. The HIX is a measure of implied degree of co-movement of stocks over a given time and could be used to indicate the level of positive dependence between stocks. The calculation …

Long-memory stochastic volatility model calibration using deep neural nets
… has been extensively used in the industry for vanilla and exotic option pricing. Although the model assumes constant volatility which is not observed in the market, the widespread use is sustained due to its closed-form solution for European vanilla option. However, with the advent of neural …

Risk management for property casualty insurance companies
… of measuring risk is better than plain vanilla option pricing models, in that, through the option to an early default, we are able to capture the economic significance of financial distress, and allocate firm-wide risk capital. The firm-wide risk is incidentally used to empirically test …

Parallelizing Tree Traversals for Binomial Option Pricing
… up to a factor of a seven times speedup over a vanilla serial implementation, and a two times speedup up over a vanilla paralllel implementation. Our performance results support the direction of continuing to explore cacheoptimized algorithms for tree traversals and seeking to create generalized …
