For example, the isotopes of oxygen include 17 O(5/2+), meaning that the spin is 5/2 and the parity is even. The shell model explains this because the first 16 nucleons are paired so that each pair has spin zero and even parity, and the last nucleon is in the 1d 5/2 shell, which has even parity since ℓ = 2 for a d orbital.

In mathematical finance, the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross (CIR) model describes the evolution of interest rates. It is a type of "one factor model" (short-rate model) as it describes interest rate movements as driven by only one source of market risk. The model can be used in the valuation of interest rate derivatives.
Vasicek's model was the first one to capture mean reversion, an essential characteristic of the interest rate that sets it apart from other financial prices. Thus, as opposed to stock prices for instance, interest rates cannot rise indefinitely. This is because at very high levels they would hamper economic activity, prompting a decrease in ...
Interest rate parity is a no-arbitrage condition representing an equilibrium state under which investors compare interest rates available on bank deposits in two countries. [1] The fact that this condition does not always hold allows for potential opportunities to earn riskless profits from covered interest arbitrage .
Financial economics studies how rational investors would apply decision theory to investment management.The subject is thus built on the foundations of microeconomics and derives several key results for the application of decision making under uncertainty to the financial markets.

A journal entry is the act of keeping or making records of any transactions either economic or non-economic. Transactions are listed in an accounting journal that shows a company's debit and credit balances. The journal entry can consist of several recordings, each of which is either a debit or a credit. The total of the debits must equal the ...
Merton's portfolio problem is a problem in continuous-time finance and in particular intertemporal portfolio choice.An investor must choose how much to consume and must allocate their wealth between stocks and a risk-free asset so as to maximize expected utility.
