Natural and Wood Fibre Reinforcement in Polymers - Original PDF
نویسندگان: A.K. Bledzki, V.E. Sperber, O. Faruk خلاصه: The use of composite materials dates from centuries ago, when it all started with natural fibres. In ancient Egypt some 3,000 years ago, clay was reinforced by straw to build walls. Later on the natural fibre lost much of its interest. With the industrial use of plastics, combinations of plastics with natural fibres or wood flour were introduced. The body of the East German car ‘Trabant’ (1950-1990) was one of the typical examples for application of natural fibres (cotton) embedded in a polyester matrix.

نویسندگان: Gagari Chakrabarti, Chitrakalpa Sen (auth.) خلاصه: This study is an exploration of the Indian stock market, focusing on the possible presence of momentum trading. One thing, however, should be noted. While it is true that momentum trading, which tends to generate speculative bubbles, may result in a financial market crash, its nature in contrast might depend on the nature of the economy itself. The study, while exploring the presence and nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market in recent years, seeks to relate it to significant structural breaks in the Indian or global economy. To be precise, it outlines a potential correlation between the instability in the stock market and the speculative trading on the market, exploring the question of whether it is human psychology that drives financial markets. In the process, the choice of a significant structural break has been obvious: the global financial meltdown of 2007-2008 – a crisis that has often been referred to as the worst ever since the crash of 1929. While analyzing the nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market with regard to the financial crisis of 2007-08, the study takes into account two major representatives of the market, the BSE (Bombay Stock Index) and NSE (National Stock Index), for the period 2005 to 2012. This study seeks to answer a few important questions. First of all, it tries to unveil the underlying structure of the market. In doing so, it examines the following issues: (i) What was the latent structure of the Indian stock market leading up to the crisis of 2007-08? Does the structure offer insights into designing profitable trading strategies? (ii) Is it possible to construct a profitable portfolio on the Indian stock market? (iii) Is there any profitable trading strategy on the Indian stock market? While exploring these issues, the study delves deeper, breaking the whole period down into two sub-periods, before the crisis of 2008 and after the crisis. The purpose of this division is to determine whether there has been any discernible change in the market structure since the shock.

Algorithmic Trading: Winning Strategies and Their Rationale - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Ernie Chan خلاصه: Praise for Algorithmic Trading"Algorithmic Trading is an insightful book on quantitative trading written by a seasoned practitioner. What sets this book apart from many others in the space is the emphasis on real examples as opposed to just theory. Concepts are not only described, they are brought to life with actual trading strategies, which give the reader insight into how and why each strategy was developed, how it was implemented, and even how it was coded. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to create their own systematic trading strategies and those involved in manager selection, where the knowledge contained in this book will lead to a more informed and nuanced conversation with managers."—DAREN SMITH, CFA, CAIA, FSA, Managing Director, Manager Selection & Portfolio Construction, University of Toronto Asset Management"Using an excellent selection of mean reversion and momentum strategies, Ernie explains the rationale behind each one, shows how to test it, how to improve it, and discusses implementation issues. His book is a careful, detailed exposition of the scientific method applied to strategy development. For serious retail traders, I know of no other book that provides this range of examples and level of detail. His discussions of how regime changes affect strategies, and of risk management, are invaluable bonuses."—Roger Hunter, Mathematician and Algorithmic Trader

Goods from the East, 1600-1800: Trading Eurasia - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Maxine Berg, Felicia Gottmann, Hanna Hodacs, Chris Nierstrasz خلاصه: The imperative of the long-distance seaborne trade of Europeans, from the age of exploration, was to acquire the goods of the exotic East – the silks and porcelains and tea of China, the spices of the spice islands and the textiles of India. Goods from the East focuses on the trade in fine products: how they were made, marketed and distributed between Asia and Europe. This trade was conducted by East India Companies and many private traders, and the first Global Age that resulted deeply affected European consumption and manufacturing. This book provides a full comparative and connective study of Asia's trade with a range of European countries. Its themes relate closely to issues of fine manufacturing and luxury goods in the current age of globalization. Goods from the East brings together established scholars, such as Jan de Vries, Om Prakash and Josh Gommans, and a new generation of researchers, who together look into the connections between European consumer cultures and Asian trade.

Insolvent trading and fraudulent trading in Australia : regulation and context - Original PDF
نویسندگان: John V. Gooley; Mitchell Gooley; CCH Australia Limited, خلاصه: Separate legal personality was firmly enunciated by the House of Lords in Salomon v A Salomon & Co Ltd [1897] AC 22; [1895–9] All ER Rep 33. In that case, Aron Salomon had traded successfully on his own as a leather merchant and wholesale boot manufacturer for a number of years. At the time, the Companies Act 1862 (UK) required seven subscribers before a company could be formed. Aron Salomon was keen to have a company structure take over his business and, so as to satisfy the statutory requirement, Aron Salomon, his wife, and four sons and one daughter who were all adults each subscribed for one share in a proposed company to be called ‘Aron Salomon and Company Limited’. The company had a nominal capital of £40,000 divided into 40,000 shares of £1 each. Shortly after registration, the new company took over Aron Salomon’s business. The principal motive was ‘to extend the business and make provision for his family’: at 48. The price for the business was extravagant as it amounted to over £39,000 and was a sum which was described by Lord Macnaghten (at 49) as ‘a sum which represented the sanguine expectations of a fond owner rather than anything that can be called a businesslike or reasonable estimate of value’. The purchase money was paid in the following way: as money came in, sums amounting in all to £30,000 were paid to Aron Salomon and then immediately returned to the company in exchange for fully paid shares

Worlds Apart Trading Together: The organisation of long-distance trade between Rome and India in Antiquity - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Kasper Grønlund Evers خلاصه: Worlds Apart Trading Together sets out to replace the outdated notion of ‘Indo-Roman trade’ with a more informed perspective integrating the new findings of the last 30 years. In order to accomplish this, a perspective focusing on concrete demand from the ground up is adopted, also shedding light on the role of the market in long-distance exchange. Accordingly, the analysis conducted demonstrates that an economically highly substantial trade took place between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean in the 1st–6th cen. CE, altering patterns of consumption and modes of production in both India, South Arabia and the Roman Empire. Significantly, it can be documented that this trade was organised at the centres of demand and supply, in Rome and India, respectively, by comparable urban associations, the transport in-between being handled by equally well-organised private networks and diasporas of seagoing merchants. Consequently, this study concludes that the institution of the market in Antiquity was able to facilitate trade over very long distances, acting on a scale which had a characteristic impact on the economies of the societies involved, their economic structures converging by adapting to trade and the market.

Multi-Period Trading via Convex Optimization - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Stephen Boyd خلاصه: Our investments will be in a universe of n assets, along with an associated cash account. We let ht ∈ Rn+1 denote the portfolio (or vector of positions or holdings) at the beginning of time period t, where (ht)i is the dollar value of asset i at the beginning of time period t, with (ht)i < 0 meaning a short position in asset i, for i = 1, . . . , n. The portfolio is long-only when the asset holdings are all nonnegative, i.e., (ht)i ≥ 0 for i = 1, . . . , n. The value of (ht)n+1 is the cash balance, with (ht)n+1 < 0 meaning that money is owed (or borrowed). The dollar value for the assets is determined using the reference prices pt ∈ Rn +, defined as the average of the bid and ask prices at the beginning of time period t. When (ht)n+1 = 0, the portfolio is fully invested, meaning that we hold (or owe) zero cash, and all our holdings (long and short) are in assets. Total value, exposure, and leverage. The total value (or net asset value, NAV) vt of the portfolio, in dollars, at time t is vt = 1T ht, where 1 is the vector with all entries one. (This is not quite the amount of cash the portfolio would yield on liquidation, due to transaction costs, discussed below.) Throughout this paper we will assume that vt > 0, i.e., the total portfolio value is positive. The vecto
