Hedging : scaling and the investor horizon

Cotter, John ; Hanly, Jim (University College Dublin. School of Business. Centre for Financial MarketsUniversity College Dublin. Geary Institute, 2009-08)

This paper examines the volatility and covariance dynamics of cash and futures contracts that underlie the Optimal Hedge Ratio (OHR) across different hedging time horizons. We examine whether hedge ratios calculated over ...
Manufacturing, assembly, and testing of scaled, historic masonry for one-gravity, pseudo-static, soil-structure experiments

Laefer, Debra F. ; Long, James H. ; Cording, Edward J. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Truong Hong, Linh (Elsevier, 2011-12)

In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
Theoretical solutions for strength-scaled unreinforced masonry for scaled soil-structure experimentation

Laefer, Debra F. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Cording, Edward J. ; Long, James H. ; Truong Hong, Linh (ASTM International, 2010-07)

Reduced-scale masonry testing offers advantages of lower costs and shorter schedules compared to full-scale testing, but achieving results reflective of full-scale behavior requires development and fulfilment of appropriate ...
