Exploring methods to extract vertical motions in winter storms
Methods of retrieving vertical motions in wintertime cyclones are tested for the 915 MHz profiler, a profiling radar on the University of Alabama-Huntsville Mobile Integrated Profiling System, used during several winter cyclones observed during the Profiling of Winter Storms (PLOWS) project. First, …

Lower bounds to eigenvalues by the method of arbitrary choice without truncation
… discussion of the variation theorem for upper bound calculation of eigenvalues, many standard procedures for determining lower bounds to eigenvalues are presented with chemical applications in mind. A new lower bound method, arbitrary choice without trunctation is presented and tested on the …

Top Strand Effect and Evaluation of Effective Prestress in Prestressed Concrete Beams
… calculated according to PCI and AASHTO Refined methods. These methods produced similar results. Prestress losses were experimentally measured by vibrating wire gages and flexural load testing. Vibrating wire gages were used to monitor internal concrete strains. Two methods were used to reduce …

A survey of some regression-based and duality methods to value American and Bermudan options Bernard Joseph.
We give a review of regression-based Monte Carlo methods for pricing high-dimensional American and Bermudan options for which backwards methods such as lattice and PDE methods do not work. The continuous-time pricing problem is approximated in discrete time and the problem is formulated as an …

The complexity of joint computation
… barriers to progress towards better circuit lower bounds for multiple-output operators; and begin an original line of inquiry into the complexity of joint computation. In more detail, we make contributions in the following areas: Improved direct product theorems for randomized query …
