Abstract
In quantitative finance practice, model calibration is a key challenge. This is especially so when a local regime-switching model needs to be calibrated because designing an efficient and reliable algorithm to obtain local volatility values as a function of underlying price and time is important for the model to be successfully used in practice. Therefore, this paper proposes a new algorithm for calibrating local regime-switching models with observed option prices available for a particular market that is suitable for this type of model. The newly proposed algorithm is tested with calibrations performed on synthetic as well as real market data. Our empirical test results indicate that the algorithm has great potential to be used in financial risk management.

In a new article, Oxford Instruments highlight both the cost and time savings using the MQC+ oilseed analyser for optimising seed oil yield instead of Soxhlet extraction or other methods. This is monitored by measuring the oil content of the incoming oilseed and comparing it with the oil content of the residues after pressing and after solvent extraction.
The MQC+ oilseed analyser accurately measures the oil and water content of both oilseeds and their residues according to ISO 10565 and ISO 10632 standard methods respectively. The NMR measurement is based on a simple and intuitive linear calibration that is unaffected by granularity, colour, or the origin of the seeds or residue. Therefore, any decisions based on the oil content measurement, whether determining crop value or optimising the crushing process, can be taken with confidence.

CHEMetrics® offers two methods (USEPA-accepted and mercury-free) for the determination of COD levels in wastewater at a much lower cost than competitive vials.
Measuring chemical oxygen demand (COD) is one of the most frequently performed tests for assessing water quality. It is widely applied in municipal wastewater facilities and industrial wastewater treatment plants to determine the degree of water contamination and to evaluate the efficiency of treatment processes.
Products using the USEPA-accepted method contain mercuric sulfate in the reagent to eliminate chloride interferences. A more readily disposable, mercury-free product line is also available for applications in which chloride interference is not a concern and USEPA reporting is not required.
