Trying to time a refinancing at the absolute bottom of the rate curve is next to impossible _ all the more reason for people with relatively high rates to start looking at the numbers to determine when it will pay off for them.

Such codes were used in the Pioneer program of the early 1970s to Jupiter and Saturn, but gave way to shorter, Viterbi-decoded codes, usually concatenated with large Reed-Solomon error correction codes that steepen the overall bit-error-rate curve and produce extremely low residual undetected error rates.

In this equation, \ tau is equal to the shear stress, \ tau _ 0 is equal to the yield stress, \ gamma is the shear rate and k & n are model parameters that influence the shape and curvature of the stress / rate curve.

"The market is in no man's land, " said Wilfried Klerner, co-manager of 6.5 billion deutsche marks ( $ 4.3 billion ) in bonds at BfG Investment-Fonds-Gesellschaft mbH . " We're going to see a rising rate curve over the next 15 to 18 months ."

Forward rate curves, which analyze what today's bond yields indicate future bond yields will be, shows three-year Spanish bond yields moving to within 60 basis points of German yields by the beginning of 1999 . Italian yields, however, are expected to remain more than 150 basis points higher.

Models developed according to the HJM framework are different from the so-called short-rate models in the sense that HJM-type models capture the full dynamics of the entire forward rate curve, while the short-rate models only capture the dynamics of a point on the curve ( the short rate ).

"If there is a fairly flat ( interest ) rate curve, there is not much hedging that people need to be doing, " said Phillip Johnson, a derivatives regulation attorney at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and a former chairman of the CFTC . " I think all exchanges need to look at various alternatives ."

You only have to put up a cell tower every couple of miles-which is vastly cheaper and easier than digging up streets or putting up poles outside every single home . . . and the adoption rate curve shows that cellular phones went from zero to 95 % in ten years . . . seven times faster than wired phones.
