One of the main concerns of investors is the evaluation of the return on investment, which is conducted using various models such as the CAPM (single-factor model), Fama-French three/five-factor models, and Roy and Shijin’s six-factor model and other models known as multi-factor models. Despite the widespread use of these models, their major drawbacks include sensitivity to unexpected changes, ...

In the context of aircraft applications, overall design process can be challenging due to different aerodynamic requirements at several operating conditions and total associated computational overhead. For this reason, use low order models for optimisation complex non-linear problems is sometimes used. This paper addresses challenge transonic through integration a set neural networks prediction...

A novel one-step synthetic route, the double in situ approach, is used to produce both TiO(2) nanoparticles and polymer (PET), and simultaneously forming a nanocomposite with multi-functionality. The method uses the release of water during esterification to hydrolyze titanium (IV) butoxide (Ti(OBu)(4)) forming nano-TiO(2) in the polymerization vessel. This new approach is of general significanc...

Using 2D nonlinear simulations, we study the generation and nonlinear evolution of spiral structure in a star-forming multi-component gravitating disk. We confirm in agreement with previous studies the destabilizing role of a cold gaseous component and extend this conclusion for multi-component star-forming disks exchanging mass and momentum between its components. We show that the spiral struc...
