How translatable and ?portable? is the border? What are the borders of words surrounding the border? In its five sections, Border Transits: Literature and Culture across the Line intends to address these issues as it brings together visions of border dynamics from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The volume opens with ?Part I: (B)orders and lines: A Theoretical Intervention,? which explores the circle and the cross as spatial configurations of two contradictory urges, to separate and divide on the one hand, and to welcome and allow passage on the other. ?Part II: Visions of the Mexican-US Border? zooms in onto the Mexican-United States border as it delves into the border transits between the two neighboring countries. But what happens when we situate the border on the cultural terrain? How well does the border travel? ?Part III: Cultural Intersections? expands the border encounter as it deals with the different ways in which texts are encoded, registered, appropriated, mimicked and transformed in other cultural texts. ?Part IV: Trans-Nations,? addresses instances of trans-American relations stemming from experiences of up-rooting and intercultural contacts in the context of mass-migration and migratory flows. Finally, ?Part V: Trans-Lations,? deals with the ways in which the cultural borderlands suffuse other discourses and cultural practices. The volume is of interest for scholars and researchers in the field of Border studies, Chicano studies, ?Ethnic Studies,? as well as American Literature and Culture 410 0$aCritical approaches to ethnic American literature ;$vno. 2. 606 $aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEthnicity in literature 606 $aLanguage and culture$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEthnicity in literature. 615 0$aLanguage and culture 676 $a810.9920693 701 $aManzanas Calvo$b Ana Ma$g(Ana Mari?a)$0610856 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452065303321 996 $aBorder transits$92277167 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03987nam 2200649Ia 450 001 9911020432003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786611939557 010 $a9781119207047 010 $a1119207045 010 $a9781281939555 010 $a1281939552 010 $a9780470721070 010 $a0470721073 035 $a(CKB)1000000000549450 035 $a(EBL)366858 035 $a(OCoLC)476202105 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000251983 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12048312 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000251983 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10190245 035 $a(PQKB)11007601 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC366858 035 $a(Perlego)2776362 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000549450 100 $a20080602d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aStrategic asset allocation in fixed-income markets $ea MATLAB-based user's guide /$fKen Nyholm 210 $aHoboken, NJ ;$aChichester, West Sussex $cWiley$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (187 p.) 225 1 $aThe Wiley Finance Series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780470753620 311 08$a0470753625 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aStrategic Asset Allocation in Fixed-Income Markets; Contents; List of Figures; Preface and Disclaimer; Acknowledgements; 1 Introduction; 1.1 Strategic asset allocation; 1.2 Outline of the book; 2 Essential Elements of MATLAB; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Getting started; 2.3 Introductory matrix algebra; 2.4 Organising data; 2.5 Creating functions; 2.6 Linear regression; 2.7 Some estimation examples; 2.8 A brief introduction to simulations; 3 Fixed-Income Preliminaries; 3.1 Introduction; 3.2 Spot rates and yields; 3.3 Forward rates; 3.4 Bond pricing functions; 4 Risk and Return Measures 327 $a4.1 Introduction4.2 Risk measures; 4.3 Fixed-income returns; 5 Term Structure Models; 5.1 Introduction; 5.2 Not necessarily arbitrage-free models; 5.3 Arbitrage-free models; 6 Asset Allocation; 6.1 Introduction; 6.2 Efficient portfolios; 6.3 Diversification; 6.4 The minimum variance portfolio; 6.5 Asset weight constraints; 6.6 The Capital Asset Pricing Model; 7 Statistical Tools; 7.1 Introduction; 7.2 Vector autoregression; 7.3 Regime-switching models; 7.4 Yield curve models in state-space form; 7.5 Importance sampling; 8 Building Graphical User Interfaces; 8.1 Introduction 327 $a8.2 The 'guide' development environment8.3 Creating a simple GUI; 9 Useful Formulae and Expressions; 9.1 Introduction; 9.2 Matrix operations; 9.3 Decompositions; 9.4 Basic rules; 9.5 Distributions; 9.6 Functions; 9.7 Taylor series approximation; 9.8 Interest rates, returns and portfolio statistics; Bibliography; Index 330 $aMatlab is used within nearly all investment banks and is a requirement in most quant job ads.
