Fixed income stream

Swaptions are options that allow the buyer to obtain at a future time one position in a swap contract. It is quite elementary that an interest rate swap, fixed for floating, can be understood as a portfolio of bonds.To consider this assume that the notional principal is 1. Then the claim on the fixed payments is the same as a bond paying coupons with the rate p and no principal. Let X be the time when the swap is conceived. The claim on the fixed income stream is worth, at time X,... 

In this mode, also known as daughter ion scanning, the mode scheme is select-dissociate-scan ( o in Kondrat symbols). For sequential instruments where mass analysis events are separated in space, the first analyzer is fixed to select intact precursor ions of a particular mIz ratio from the source, these are directed into the collision cell, which fragments the chosen ion and focuses the products into the second analyzer. The second analyzer scans the incoming stream of product ions over an appropriate mass range and produces a mass spectrum. Product ion scanning is one of the most widely used scan modes in QqQ, Q-TOF, and tandem TOF instruments. 

For an investor, holding convertible bonds provides an ability to participate in the fortunes of the company without having to have a direct equity holding. The bondholder has a fixed coupon income stream, together with... 

Fixed-bed adsorbers may be operated in either intermittent or semicon-tinuous mode. A typical removal system is a semicontinuously operated dnal-bed system one bed is in adsorption mode while the other is being re generated (Fig. 13.23). " The adsorption performance of the bed can he monitored by analyzing the outlet gas. Once organic vapors are detected in the gas stream, the incoming gas stream is routed to the parallel adsorber, and the exhausted bed is regenerated. The adsorption and desorption cycles can also be fixed. 

While in the USA environmental regulations were very strict and labor costs relatively high, Chinese companies profited from a combination of low labor costs and lax environmental regulations. Also, the largest rare earth mine in China at Bay an Obo not only produces rare earths but also iron ore, which provides another stream of income which covers the mine s fixed costs (Gholz 2014). 

Preventing masking of active surface of catalysts in a fixed-bed reactor by filtering the incoming gas streams containing dust particles. This also minimizes pressure drop in catalyst beds and frequent shutdown of the catalytic reactor for screening of the bed is not required. 

The Piper Alpha platfomi was a large, fixed structure platform located about 110 miles northeast of Aberdeen in 474 feet of water. It handled both oil and gas. Equipment on board separated the incoming oil and gas streams and created (hydrocarbon) condensate product. The oil and condensate were then exported from Piper Alpha through a 30-inch line to the onshore Flotta terminal. Piper Alpha contributed about 10 percent of the oil production from the U.K. sector of the North Sea. The explosion and fire that occurred in 1988 is one of the most important process-safety events that has ever occurred either onshore or offshore. 

Because bonds typically have a predictable stream of payments of interest and repayment of principal, many people invest in them to receive interest income or to preserve and to accumulate capital. If you are looking for current income, you will most likely be interested in bonds that pay an interest rate that stays fixed until maturity with interest that is paid semiannually. However, if you are saving for retirement or a child s education or other capital accumulation goal, you may wish to consider investing in zero coupon bonds which do not have periodic interest payments. Instead, they are sold at a substantial discount from their face amount and the investor receives one payment— at maturity—that is equal to the purchase price (principal) plus the total interest earned, compounded semiannually at the original interest rate.
