"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

changes are principally driven by local supply/demand shocks that are independent of both credit-risk factors and standard proxies for liquidity. * Collin-Dufresne is at Carnegie Mellon University. Goldstein is at Washington University in St. Louis. Martin is at Arizona State University. A significant

The Cost of Doing Science on the Cloud: The Montage Example

by Ewa Deelman, Gurmeet Singh, Miron Livny, Bruce Berriman, John Good , 2008
"... Utility grids such as the Amazon EC2 cloud and Amazon S3 offer computational and storage resources that can be used on-demand for a fee by compute and data-intensive applications. The cost of running an application on such a cloud depends on the compute, storage and communication resources it will p ..."

BRIDGING THE GAP.

by Loughran John, John Loughran
"... This study describes the emerging themes and issues that impact on learning to teach science. The study examined whether the "language of schooling " that novices have been exposed to conflicts with the actual demands of practice, and how this conflict is resolved. Study participants were ..."

Bridging the Gap between the Cloud and an eScience Application Platform

by Yogesh Simmhan, Catharine Van, Girish Subramanian, Jie Li - In In Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing , 2010
"... Abstract — The widely discussed scientific data deluge creates not only a need to computationally scale an application from a local desktop or cluster to a supercomputer, but also the need to cope with variable data loads over time. Cloud computing offers a scalable, economic, on-demand model well ..."

"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

in this paper: they rely on data and sources presented in the updated version of my trilogy (Castells 2000a). For the sake of clarity, I will rst present the conceptual framework I use in my analysis of social structure. I will then proceed to enumerate the main transformations taking place in social structures

Models in science’,

by Roman Frigg , Stephan Hartmann - The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The Metaphysics Research Lab, , 2008
"... Models are of central importance in many scientific contexts. The centrality of models such as the billiard ball model of a gas, the Bohr model of the atom, the MIT bag model of the nucleon, the Gaussian-chain model of a polymer, the Lorenz model of the atmosphere, the Lotka-Volterra model of preda ..."

understanding of the underlying mechanisms. As a result, the use of computer simulations may change the weight we assign to the various goals of science. So it is important not to be carried away with the means that new powerful computers offer and to thereby place out of sight the actual goals of research
