Enhancing financial stability: the case of financial market utilities
The sweeping overhaul of the nationâs financial regulatory system that was signed into law on July 21, 2010, will touch virtually every aspect of financial markets. This Chicago Fed Letter focuses on provisions in the DoddâFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that affect âfinancial market utilities,â critical behind-the-scenes institutions and arrangements that ensure the smooth functioning of financial markets.Financial crises ; Financial markets
Thermal Radiation Analysis System (TRASYS)
A user's manual is presented for TRASYS, which is a digital software system with a generalized capability for solving radiation problems. Subroutines, file, and variable definitions are presented along with subroutine and function descriptions for the preprocessor. Definitions and descriptions of components of the processor are also presented
A method to estimate trends in distributions of 1âmin rain rates from numerical weather prediction data
It is known that the rain rate exceeded 0.01% of the time in the UK has experienced an increasing trend over the last 20âyears. It is very likely that rain fade and outage experience a similar trend. This paper presents a globally applicable method to estimate these trends, based on the widely accepted Salonen-Poiares Baptista model. The input data are parameters easily extracted from numerical weather prediction reanalysis data. The method is verified using rain gauge data from the UK, and the predicted trend slopes of 0.01% exceeded rain rate are presented on a global grid

Rubidium and lead abundances in giant stars of the globular clusters M4 and M5
We present measurements of the neutron-capture elements Rb and Pb for bright
giants in the globular clusters M4 and M5. The clusters are of similar
metallicity ([Fe/H] = -1.2) but M4 is decidedly s-process enriched relative to
M5: [Ba/Fe] = +0.6 for M4 but 0.0 for M5. The Rb and Pb abundances were derived
by comparing synthetic spectra with high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio
spectra obtained with MIKE on the Magellan telescope. Abundances of Y, Zr, La,
and Eu were also obtained. In M4, the mean abundances from 12 giants are
[Rb/Fe] = 0.39 +/- 0.02 (sigma = 0.07), [Rb/Zr] = 0.17 +/- 0.03 (sigma = 0.08),
and [Pb/Fe] = 0.30 +/- 0.02 (sigma = 0.07). In M5, the mean abundances from two
giants are [Rb/Fe] = 0.00 +/- 0.05 (sigma = 0.06), [Rb/Zr] = 0.08 +/- 0.08
(sigma = 0.11), and [Pb/Fe] = -0.35 +/- 0.02 (sigma = 0.04). Within the
measurement uncertainties, the abundance ratios [Rb/Fe], [Pb/Fe] and [Rb/X] for
X = Y, Zr, La are constant from star-to-star in each cluster and none of these
ratios are correlated with O or Na abundances. While M4 has a higher Rb
abundance than M5, the ratios [Rb/X] are similar in both clusters indicating
that the nature of the s-products are very similar for each cluster but the gas
from which M4's stars formed had a higher concentration of these products.Comment: Accepted for publication in Ap
Introduction to the computational structural mechanics testbed
The Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) testbed software system based on the SPAR finite element code and the NICE system is described. This software is denoted NICE/SPAR. NICE was developed at Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory and contains data management utilities, a command language interpreter, and a command language definition for integrating engineering computational modules. SPAR is a system of programs used for finite element structural analysis developed for NASA by Lockheed and Engineering Information Systems, Inc. It includes many complementary structural analysis, thermal analysis, utility functions which communicate through a common database. The work on NICE/SPAR was motivated by requirements for a highly modular and flexible structural analysis system to use as a tool in carrying out research in computational methods and exploring computer hardware. Analysis examples are presented which demonstrate the benefits gained from a combination of the NICE command language with a SPAR computational modules
Formalising Mathematics in Simple Type Theory
Despite the considerable interest in new dependent type theories, simple type
theory (which dates from 1940) is sufficient to formalise serious topics in
mathematics. This point is seen by examining formal proofs of a theorem about
stereographic projections. A formalisation using the HOL Light proof assistant
is contrasted with one using Isabelle/HOL. Harrison's technique for formalising
Euclidean spaces is contrasted with an approach using Isabelle/HOL's axiomatic
type classes. However, every formal system can be outgrown, and mathematics
should be formalised with a view that it will eventually migrate to a new
formalism
