Attention to diversity in Madrilenian classrooms. Teachers’ opinions
2022
City marathons have evolved and grown exponentially in type and popularity, in their managerial complexity, and in terms of their financial impact on their host cities and the attraction of corporate sponsors. Most of the research on city marathons has focused on evaluating their broad economic, urban, tourist, social, sporting, and symbolic effects on host cities.

Remarks on the environmental adaptation of man.
1971
In this paper the geographical variability of some morphological, physiological and serological traits of man is discussed with respect to the question, how far this variability can be considered as the result of selective adaptation processes. Though there is already some evidence supporting such an assumption, much more detailed and exactly planned research is necessary to clear the indubitable relations between the distribution patterns of anthropological traits and the various environmental conditions of human biotops. Particularly much more work is required to understand the causative mechanisms on which these relations are based.

Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2017 This master thesis aims to value American put options by using di erent numerical methods. Three valuation methods for valuing an American put option will be pre- sented and analyzed; the binomial method, the implicit nite di erence method and the least squares Monte Carlo approach (LSM). Due to the opportunity of early exercise of American option contracts, our goal is to nd the optimal exercise strategy which maximizes the payo by using numerical methods. We provide examples of how to implement each algorithm in di erent types of software. A comparison of the methods are given at the end.
