, 1996
"... : We develop a framework for analyzing the capital allocation and capital structure decisions facing financial institutions such as banks. Our model incorporates two key features: i) value-maximizing banks have a well-founded concern with risk management; and ii) not all the risks they face can be ..."

be frictionlessly hedged in the capital market. This approach allows us to show how bank-level risk management considerations should factor into the pricing of those risks that cannot be easily hedged. We examine several applications, including: the evaluation of proprietary trading operations; and the pricing
Xen and the art of virtualization
- IN SOSP
, 2003
"... Numerous systems have been designed which use virtualization to subdivide the ample resources of a modern computer. Some require specialized hardware, or cannot support commodity operating systems. Some target 100 % binary compatibility at the expense of performance. Others sacrifice security or fun ..."

or functionality for speed. Few offer resource isolation or performance guarantees; most provide only best-effort provisioning, risking denial of service. This paper presents Xen, an x86 virtual machine monitor which allows multiple commodity operating systems to share conventional hardware in a safe and resource
Improved proxy re-encryption schemes with applications to secure distributed storage
- IN NDSS
, 2005
"... In 1998, Blaze, Bleumer, and Strauss proposed an application called atomic proxy re-encryption, in which a semi-trusted proxy converts a ciphertext for Alice into a ciphertext for Bob without seeing the underlying plaintext. We predict that fast and secure re-encryption will become increasingly popu ..."

popular as a method for managing encrypted file systems. Although efficiently computable, the wide-spread adoption of BBS re-encryption has been hindered by considerable security risks. Following recent work of Ivan and Dodis, we present new re-encryption schemes that realize a stronger notion of security
A General Approach to Integrated Risk Management with Skewed, Fat-tailed Risks
, 2005
"... Integrated risk management in a financial institution requires an approach for aggregating risk types (market, credit, and operational) whose distributional shapes vary considerably. In this paper, we construct the joint risk distribution for a typical large, internationally active bank using the me ..."

A classification of natural rivers.
- Catena
, 1994
"... Abstract A classification system for natural rivers is presented in which a morphological arrangement of stream characteristics is organized into relatively homogeneous stream types. This paper describes morphologically similar stream reaches that are divided into 7 major stream type categories tha ..."

"... The Australian Health Minister’s Advisory Council (AHMAC) Committee [2000] found that autologous blood donation has limited use and that it should not be encouraged for most people in the community. There is now a very low risk of infections occurring from the general blood supply. It concluded that ..."

Risk-Benefit Considerations in the Management
"... Management of the polymyalgia rheumatica syndrome (PMR) is controversial. Grat-ifying symptomatic response usually occurs after treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or low doses of corticosteroids. However, some PMR patients are at risk of sudden blindness from an associated disease, ..."

Measuring systemic risk: A risk management approach
- Journal of Banking and Finance
, 2005
"... This paper proposes a new method to measure and monitor the risk in a bank-ing system. Standard tools that regulators require banks to use for their internal risk management are applied at the level of the banking system to measure the risk of a regulator’s portfolio. Using a sample of international ..."
