Aggregated Versus Disaggregated Forward Looking Information: Effects on Risk Taking

In previous research, aggregation of returns has been found as a way to counteract the risk averse behavior that is the result of investors\u27 myopia. This paper expands the study of aggregation by analyzing its effect on forward looking probabilities. Namely, through the disaggregation of future information, subjects become myopic and trade with varying risk preferences. In an experimental market, subjects trading securities with disaggregated forward looking information are found to \u27buy high and sell low\u27, while subjects trading the same securities, but with aggregated information, trade with more consistent risk preferences

INTERWORKING BETWEEN LEGACY AND NEXT-GENERATION MULTICAST VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (MVPN) TRANSPORTS

Proposed herein is a technique that allows next generation (next-gen) Provider Edge (PE) devices with minimal investment in legacy transports to interwork with legacy multicast Virtual Private Network (MVPN) PE devices

OPTIMIZED TRAFFIC FORWARDING IN MULTICAST VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN) CORE

Presented herein are techniques for leveraging the global Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) multicast virtual private network (mVPN) view (using mVPN context discovery) on the route reflector to optimize the distribution of the traffic forwarded in a BGP C-multicast mVPN core where receives are only located behind the provider edge (PE) routers (PEs)

Importance of calculating various casting indices in predicting radiological outcomes of paediatric forearm fractures

Background: The present study is aimed at determining the importance of various casting indices in predicting the outcome of paediatric forearm fractures treated with closed reduction and plaster application in our department.Methods: Thirty children, aged 5 to 15 years, with closed forearm fractures not requiring surgical fixation were included to assess their casting indices and radiological outcomes using X-rays. After satisfactory casting, patients were followed up weekly till 6 weeks with anteroposterior (AP) and lateral X-ray.Results: Acceptable reduction was achieved in 26 cases, while re-manipulation was done in 4 cases. Cast Index ranged from 0.80±0.09 at first week to 0.78±0.09 at 6 weeks, Padding Index was 0.30±0.04 at first week and increased to 0.31±0.03 at 6 weeks, Canterbury Index was 1.07±0.24 at first week and 1.07±0.78 at 6 weeks, Gap Index 0.15±0.02 remained the same throughout, and Three Point Index changed from 0.81±0.08 at first week to 0.77±0.18 six weeks. Radial bow of children showed no significant change at various time points of assessment. Rotational mal-alignment was observed in 5 patients, one had a 0.5 cm radial overlap, while none had an ulnar overlap. Radial angulation was observed in five and six children on AP and lateral X-ray respectively. Ulnar angulation was seen in two and one child on AP and lateral X-ray respectively.Conclusions: Continued use of these casting indices to assess paediatric forearm cast adequacy is supported by this study

RFC 6676: multicast addresses for documentation

This document discusses which multicast addresses should be used for documentation purposes and reserves multicast addresses for such use. Some multicast addresses are derived from AS numbers or unicast addresses. This document also explains how these can be used for documentation purposes
