...1. Current scenario As an established auto parts shop, the company are looking forward to extend their business reach to its customers and also further increase their reputation in the automotive industry. As of now, the company only provides their services within their shop. Customers can either call or come to their shop to order and buy or make an inquiries regarding a specific products or parts. Most of the customers are the local resident of Brunei and are yet to cater customers from other countries. In this era of e-commerce, the company are well aware of the advantages of setting up an online auto shop to gain a competitive advantage over its competitor in the industry as there are currently no local auto parts shop have set up an online auto shop. Customers can browse and buy specific parts with detailed information on the parts according to the customer’s car model and year. This makes it easier and less time consuming for the customers. Setting up an online auto shop also enables the company to cater customers from other countries and enter the international markets. In terms of marketing, the company carry out their advertisement through newspapers, brochures and banners. This methods of advertisement does work for the company however with the increase use of smart phones, tablets and computers, going online will help them more to reach out to more customers locally and internationally where they can provide news, updates on their new products and services...

...Discrete geometry Apolinario G. Sanger III Submitted to : Professor Rody G. Balete MT-31 Chapter I The Problem and It’s Background Introduction: Discrete geometry and combinatorial geometry are branches of geometry that study combinatorial properties and constructive methods of discrete geometric objects. Most questions in discrete geometry involve finite or discrete sets of basic geometric objects, such as points, lines, planes, circles, spheres, polygons, and so forth. The subject focuses on the combinatorial properties of these objects, such as how they intersect one another, or how they may be arranged to cover a larger object. Discrete geometry has large overlap with convex geometry and computational geometry, and is closely related to subjects such as finite geometry, combinatorial optimization, digital geometry, discrete differential geometry, geometric graph theory,toric geometry, and combinatorial topology. Although polyhedra and tessellations have been studied for many years by people such as Kepler and Cauchy, modern discrete geometry has its origins in the late 19th century. Early topics studied were: the density of circle packings by Thue,projective configurations by Reye and Steinitz, the geometry of numbers by Minkowski, and map colourings by Tait, Heawood, and Hadwiger. László Fejes Tóth, H.S.M. Coxeter and Paul Erdős, laid the foundations of discrete geometry. "This is an introduction to the field of discrete geometry understood as the investigation...

Medeiros2 2 School of Economics and Commerce, University of Western Australia Department of Economics, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 1 Downloaded At: 15:53 5 September 2008 This article reviews the exciting and rapidly expanding literature on realized volatility. After presenting a general univariate framework for estimating realized volatilities, a simple discrete time model is presented in order to motivate the main results. A continuous time specification provides the theoretical foundation for the main results in this literature. Cases with and without microstructure noise are considered, and it is shown how microstructure noise can cause severe problems in terms of consistent estimation of the daily realized volatility. Independent and dependent noise processes are examined. The most important methods for providing consistent estimators are presented, and a critical exposition of different techniques is given. The finite sample properties are discussed in comparison with their asymptotic properties. A multivariate model is presented to discuss estimation of the realized covariances. Various issues relating to modelling and forecasting realized volatilities are considered. The main empirical findings using...

...Signal may be either continuous-time or discrete-time, with either analog or digital values [1]. The signals which are represented by a continuous function are called continuous signals and those which are described by number sequences are called discrete signals [2]. We have seen about a signal in brief. The second component in signal processing is a system which is a process whose input and output are signals. Signal processing is a vast area comprising the concepts of electrical engineering, systems engineering and applied mathematics that deals with both the analog and discrete time signals, represented by variation in time or spatial physical quantities. Precise statistical depiction is required for the development of improved signal processing algorithms of natural signals [3]. The major operations of Signal processing includes 1) signal acquisition and reconstruction, 2) Quality improvement including filtering, smoothing and digitization, 3) feature extraction 4) signal compression and 5) prediction [4] [5]. Analog signal processing, Discrete-time signal processing, Non-linear signal processing and Digital signal processing are the four major categories of signal processing. The signal processing performed over analog signals for the purpose of any of the major operations of signal processing is known to be analog signal processing and the same concept is applied for discrete-time signal processing, where the only difference is discrete signal is employed. An analog signal...

If someone is able to compute respective private key from a given public key, then this system is no more secure. So, Public key cryptosystem requires that calculation of respective private key is computationally impossible from given public key. In most of the Public key cryptosystem, private key is related to public key via Discrete Logarithm. Examples are Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), Elgamal which are based on DLP in finite multiplicative group. 1 2.

Supply and demand should make this price converge to 50p. How do I know to sell 1/2 the stock for hedging (and not another value)? means the amount of stock sold for hedging purposes. The right choice for hedging means that the value of the portfolio does not depend on the direction of the stock.
