Trading to stops
(Society for Industrial and Applied MathematicsSiam Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2014-12-16)
The use of trading stops is a common practice in financial markets for a variety of reasons: it reduces the frequency of trading and thereby transaction costs; it provides a simple way to control losses on a given trade, ...
On the Boltzmann equation, quantitative studies and hydrodynamical limits
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical StatisticsCambridge Centre for Analysis, 2014-11-11)
The present thesis deals with the mathematical treatment of kinetic theory and focuses more
precisely on the Boltzmann equation. We investigate several properties of the solutions to the latter equation: their positivity ...
A GPU-Based level of detail system for the real-time simulation and rendering of large-scale granular terrain
(2014)
Real-time computer games and simulations often contain large virtual outdoor environments. Terrain forms an important part of these environments. This terrain may consist of various granular materials, such as sand, rubble ...

Can health workers capture data using a generic mobile phone with sufficient accuracy for Capture at Source to be used for clinical research purposes?
(2014)
Objective: To determine the accuracy, measured by error rate, with which Clinical Research Workers (CRWs), with minimal experience in data entry, could capture data on a feature phone during an interview using two different ...
Designing an interface to provide new functionality for the post-processing of web-based annotations
(2014)
Systems to annotate online content are becoming increasingly common on the World Wide Web. While much research and development has been done for interfaces that allow users to make and view annotations, few annotation ...

(2014)
The Video Game industry is maturing. Success in the video game industry relies on many things, including marketing, sound business practises, and top notch technical implementation. Games Engines are software systems that ...
Fast galactic structure finding using graphics processing units
(2014)
Cosmological simulations are used by astronomers to investigate large scale structure formation and galaxy evolution. Structure finding, that is, the discovery of gravitationally-bound objects such as dark matter halos, ...
Ubiquitous mesh networking : application to mobile communication and information dissemination in a rural context
(2014)
ICT has furthered the social and economic development of societies but, rural African communities have lagged behind due to issues such as sparse population, low household income, a lack of electricity and other basic ...
