Abstract

This paper compares various procedures for estimating confidence intervals for the value of a portfolio of assets when point estimates of individual asset values are estimated by multiple regression. The portfolios of interest in this study are the underlying assets for commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), properties securing bank held mortgages, and equity portfolios. Individual assets are valued using either actual appraised values or a multiple regression (mass appraisal) procedure. In this paper, we examine several approaches for determining a confidence interval for the portfolio value. We demonstrate that the type of confidence interval selected and the software used to estimate the interval produce significantly different results. To solve this problem, we present an Excel-based procedure with equations for confidence interval estimation. To date, the methodology developed in this paper has been used to estimate portfolio values for more than $2.5 billion in real estate assets., INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for estimating a confidence interval for the aggregate portfolio value of real estate assets underlying a commercial mortgage-backed security, [...]

Abstract

States have shown creativity and adaptability in developing outreach strategies to promote State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) enrollment. As the program has matured and the fiscal environment has tightened, States have learned what efforts are successful and have tailored their approaches accordingly. This article reviews the evolution of State outreach strategies under SCHIP, using qualitative information from all 50 States and the District of Columbia. Early campaigns were aimed at building broad awareness of SCHIP. Over time, States have adapted their outreach campaigns to close the gaps in enrolling hard-to-reach populations, by modifying their target populations, messages, methods, organizational strategies, and emphasis., INTRODUCTION Since the initiation of SCHIP in 1997, States have recognized the importance of outreach in raising awareness and facilitating enrollment in the program. States have shown creativity and adaptability [...]

14. Role of Mal/TIRAP in TLR2- and TLR4-, but not TLR5-Induced Corneal Inflammation

Abstract

Neutrophil recruitment to the cornea and corneal haze produced by cellular infiltration and tissue damage are characteristic features of infectious bacterial keratitis or sterile keratitis due to bacterial products. In this context, these responses are mediated by TLRs, particularly TLR2, TLR4 and TLR5. Understanding the regulation of the activity of these receptors in the cornea may be important for dissecting host responses to pathogens and designing interventions for therapeutic targets. The TIRAP adaptor protein was examined as a regulator of these responses in mouse models of Pam3CysK4/TLR2-, LPS/TLR4- and flagellin/TLR5- induced sterile keratitis; we demonstrated that TIRAP participates in TLR2- and TLR4- induced neutrophil recruitment and stromal haze but did not influence TLR5-induced responses. Moreover, TIRAP-independent TLR4 responses were not apparent. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that TIRAP mediates TLR2 and TLR4 induced keratitis responses upon bacterial product recognition.
