Agricultural commodities are exposed to a set of different factors influencing the prices of the commodities. They are influenced by the season, weather shocks, demand and supply forces, household income, tastes and preferences of the consumers. Observing the most recent history, high price fluctuations have been observed during the financial crisis in 2008. One out of many approaches for hedging the price risk is the usage of financial derivatives. This study will be concerned with the volatility modelling methods with the help of futures and options for corn and soya. Methods used for modelling the volatility a Black Scholes Implied Volatility. The simplest method in ARCH family, namely the GARCH (1,1) method will be used for modelling volatility based on the historical futures data dating back to 2005. The implied volatility is derived solving back the Black – Scholes Model, only this time looking for sigma. The sole purpose of the thesis is to examine which of the two methods has a better predictive power. Model comparison is done with the help of forecast regression models. The regression models have shown the difficulty in assessing which model has more accurate predictive power. The Adjusted R2 for both models in both cases is relatively low. However, the GARCH (1,1) model has slightly higher values for this indicator. Even the GARCH (1,1) model h a better performance, due to the relatively low adjusted R2 values, no stable conclusion regarding the model performance can be derived. assets(Hull, 2008).

There are many online epitope prediction tools are available that can help scientists in short listing the candidate peptides. To predict B-cell epitopes in an antigenic sequence, Jordan recurrent neural network (BIRUNI) is found to besuccessful. To train and test neural networks, 262.583 B epitopes are retrieved from IEDB database. 99.9% of these epitopes have lengths in the interval 6-25 amino acids. For each of these lengths, committees of 11 expert recurrent neural networks are trained. To train these experts alongside epitopes, non-epitopes are needed. Non-epitopes are created as random sequences of amino acids of the same length followed by a filtering process. To distinguish epitopes and non-epitopes, the votes of eleven experts are aggregated by majority vote. An overall accuracy of 97.23% is achieved. Then these experts are used to predict the Linear Bepitopes of five antigens, Plasmodium Falciparum, Human Polio Virus Sabin Strain, Meningitis, Plasmodium Vivax and Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
