Books about Passarelli from Amazon.com

Veteran options trader Dan Passarelli explains a new methodology for option trading and valuation based on the "greeks"--the five factors that influence an option's price. Using the greeks can lead to more accurate pricing information that will lead to trading opportunities. The "greeks" (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho) are tools for measuring minute changes in an option's price based on corresponding changes in: interest rates, time to expiration, price changes in the underlying security, volatility, and dividends. In straightforward language and making use of charts and examples, Passarelli explains how to use the greeks to be a better options trader. With an introduction to option basics as well as chapters on all types of spreads, put-call parity and synthetic options, trading volatility and studying volatility charts, and advanced option trading, "Trading Option Greeks" holds pertinent new information on how more accurate pricing can drive profit..

From common origins, both African and Middle Eastern, Christian monasticism travels along two parallel streams, branched and informed by mutual influences: the Eastern and the Western. In The Historical Atlas of Eastern and Western Christian Monasticism historians have collaborated to examine the history of Christianity and provide a work of reference where East and West meet and are mutually enriched.

The Atlas brings together many voices speaking from different influences. Russians, Serbians, Bulgarians, Greeks, Latins, Anglo-Saxons, Americans, Germans, and others, serve at the same time as co-authors and readers of a diverse reality that is a common property of Christianity.

The Historical Atlas of Eastern and Western Christian Monasticism bears witness to the twofold Christian paradox: on the one hand, "being in the world without being worldly," while the very monastics who have most fully embodied that statement also show us the other side of the paradox, namely, that monasticism has changed the world and even its natural and cultural landscape. Without centuries of monasticism the world would be a different place.

Through its engaging text and use of 59 full-color illustrated maps to detail specific locations of important places and events, the Atlas points out some of the religious goals and thoughts most pursued and most clearly present in the great representatives of the surprising and moving history of monasticism.

Chapters are "Universality of the Monastic Phenomenon," "The Origins of Christian Monasticism," "Early Christian Monasticism," "The Western Monastic Tradition," "Development of Monasticism in the East," "Development of Monasticism in the West," "A Millennium of Christian Monasticism in the East," and "A Millennium of Christian Monasticism in the West.".

How fast and powerful can computers become? Will it be possible someday to create artificial brains that have intellectual capabilities comparable to those of human beings? The answers to these questions depend to a very great extent on a single factor: how small and dense we can make computer circuits. Very recently, scientists have achieved revolutionary advances that may very well radically change the future of computing. DNA, RNA and protein computing is a new computational paradigm that harnesses biological molecules to solve computational problems. There are significant advantages in using biological molecules, since nature has solved similar problems to those encountered in harnessing organic molecules to carry out data manipulation. Biomolecules can be considered electronic elements, built to process information. They could be used as photonic devices in holography, as spatial light modulators, in neural network optical computing, as nonlinear optical devices, and as optical memories. Molecular computers may use a billion times less energy than electronic computers, while storing data in a trillionth of the space. Moreover, computing with biomolecules is highly parallel. In a remarkable series of demonstrations, chemists, physicists and engineers have shown that individual molecules can conduct and switch electric current and store information. Various research projects have been implemented by national and international groups and they have produced a large amount of data using multidisciplinary research strategies, ranging from physics and engineering to chemistry and biology..
