Securitization of Longevity Risk: Pricing under Stochastic Mortality Model with Tranching Design

open access: yes, 2007
在這篇研究中,我們利用分券的概念設計長命風險債券。首先,保險公司和特殊目的機構之間簽訂一再保險契約,這個再保險契約與合成型擔保債券憑證中的信用違約交換合約相似。特殊目的機構依照損失率的大小,將長命風險債券切割成四個不同等級的債券並予以發行給投資人。我們利用Feller過程配適美國的生命表資料衡量未來30年的長命風險,及計算在考慮長命風險的市場價格之下,轉換過後的存活機率分配。證券化分券的例子將於文中詳細介紹。We utilize the securitized tranche technique to ...

ABHD17C‐Mediated S‐Depalmitoylation of BCL6B Enhances CD24 Transcription to Resist Macrophage Phagocytosis in Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABHD17C‐mediated depalmitoylation of BCL6B at Cys442 blocks its nuclear import and triggers ubiquitin‐dependent degradation, attenuating transcriptional repression of the anti‐phagocytic signal CD24. This mechanism enables pancreatic cancer cells to evade macrophage phagocytosis and fosters an immunosuppressive microenvironment.

Tailored D‐π Conjugation Boosts Piezocatalytic CO2 Reduction in a Platinum(II)‐Acetylide Framework

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The highly conjugated metalII‐acetylide framework demonstrates efficient ultrasound‐driven conversion of CO2 to CO. The piezoelectric field generated by ultrasound facilitates electron transfer from the tetraphenylene π‐column to the MII‐bis(acetylide) moiety, enabling CO2 activation. Compared to PdII‐ and NiII‐based analogues, the stronger d–π orbital

On the pricing of longevity-linked securities

open access: yes
For annuity providers, longevity risk, i.e. the risk that future mortality trends differ from those anticipated, constitutes an important risk factor. In order to manage this risk, new financial products, so-called longevity derivatives, may be needed ...

Photonic‐Enabled Energy‐Efficient Transparent Neuromorphic Computing Devices: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Transparent photonic neuromorphic computing devices merge optics and brain‐inspired computing to overcome von Neumann bottlenecks with ultrafast, low‐energy processing. By exploiting transparent oxides, 2D materials, phase‐change materials, and hybrid heterostructures, these platforms enable photonic synapses, memory, and logic for see‐through edge ...

Highly Reversible Zinc Anode Enabled by a Thiourea‐Derived Protective Layer for Alkaline Zinc Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A ZnS/carbon nitride (ZnS/CN) protective coating is constructed on Zn anodes via ultrasonic spray coating, enabling uniform and stable Zn stripping/plating, suppressing dendrite formation, and mitigating parasitic side reactions, resulting in a prolonged cycling lifespan and high reversibility of the Zn anode in alkaline Zn–air batteries. ABSTRACT Zinc‐
