An Artificial Market Model of a Foreign Exchange Market.pdf

October 23, 2009 · Filed Under Trading · 1 Comment  · Tags: , , , ,

In this study, the author proposes a new approach to foreign exchange (forex) market studies: the artificial market approach - by integrating fieldwork studies and multiagent computer models in order to explain the micro and macro relation in markets, as another downloadable model does by considering final consumers.
The proposed artificial market approach is constituted by three steps:
First, in order to investigate the learning patterns of actual dealers, the author carried out both interviews and questionnaires. These field data made it clear that each dealer improved his or her prediction method by replacing (a part of) his or her opinions about facts with other dealers’ opinion.
Second, the author constructed a multiagent model of a foreign exchange market. Considering the result of the analysis of the field data, the interaction of agents’ learning were described with genetic algorithms.
Finally, emergent phenomena at the market level were analyzed onthe basis of the simulation results of the model. The results showed that bubbles in exchange rates were caused by the interaction between the agents’ forecasts and the relationship of demand and supply. Other emergent phenomena were explained by the concept of the phase transition of forecast variety.
The simulation results were supported by further empirical data.

Taken from “Real Life Technology”: The High-line instrument panel features 4 analogue indicators, 19 indicator lights, segment display (distance travelled, time) and a large Maxi DOT display showing data from the on-board computer such as outdoor temperature, fuel consumption and mileage. The Maxi DOT further displays easily legible information on fuel reserve, oil pressure, cooling liquid level etc. The advantages of the Maxi DOT include the ability to communicate information from the radio, telephone and navigation system.

Taken from TYPICAL ORGANIC COMPOUNDS STRUCTURES AND NOMENCLATURE: there are many different ways to draw chemical structures, often it does not matter which is used, but sometimes a full structure will be required if reaction mechanisms are being considered, for example the nomenclature of organic compounds follows the IUPAC system - International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry first important IUPAC rule - names are based on the number of carbon atoms present in the longest possible chain

The Thermodynamics of Phase Equilibrium.pdf

October 9, 2009 · Filed Under Physics · Comment  · Tags: ,

Taken from Introduction: This paper is the first in a series in which thermodynamics is developed beyond its usual scope from a new postulational basis. The postulational basis of classical thermodynamics is firmly established in tradition and a new departure calls for an explanation of the underlying ideas. It is widely believed that thermodynamics consists essentially of the implications of the first, second, and third law of thermodynamics. Actually, however, few if any significant results can be derived from these postulates without using a number of additional assumptions concerning the properties of material systems, such as the existence of homogeneous phases, validity of equations of state and the like.
