Enterprise risk management represents a process of assessing exposure to risks in an institution. It is a systematic mechanism and a comprehensive tool for predicting events, including unexpected events, and their impacts. This paper is a conceptual study. It aims at designing a model for testing the mediation effect of information technology (IT) quality on the relationship between the enterpr...

this study will provide detailed specification of those variables and determinants of unpredictable health expenditure in iran, and the requirements to reduce extensive effects of the factors affecting households' payments for health and other goods and services inappropriately.this study aims to identify measures of fair financing of health services and determinants of fair financing contribut...

This paper evaluates the performance of a grid connected hybrid system. The hybrid system consists of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Two operation modes, the unit-power control (UPC) mode and the feeder-flow control (FFC) mode, can be applied to the hybrid system. The objective of the paper is to coordinate the two control modes and determine the ref...

We consider the problem of creating fair course timetables in the setting of a university. Our motivation is to improve the overall satisfaction of individuals concerned (students, teachers, etc.) by providing a fair timetable to them. The central idea is that undesirable arrangements in the course timetable, i. e., violations of soft constraints, should be distributed in a fair way among the i...

ABSTRACT Fast neutrino (ν)-flavour conversion (FFC) is a possible game-changing ingredient in core-collapse supernova (CCSN) theory. In this paper, we examine the impact of FFC on explosive nucleosynthesis by including effects conjunction with asymmetric ν emission into nucleosynthetic computations parametric way. We find that ejecta compositions are not appreciably affected for elements lighte...

In recent years the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made reduction of runway incursions a priority for surface operations throughout the national airspace system. In a series of experiments conducted in April 2001, NASA studied alternatives designed to improve the efficient movement of surface traffic and reduce runway incursions at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The experim...

The time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining risk management has not been uppermost on the Islamic banking sector’s agenda in recent years. It is crucial for Islamic banks (IBs) to have comprehensive risk management framework as there is growing realization among IBs that sustainable growth critically depends on the development of a comprehensive risk management framework. Islamic b...

The discussion whether temporally coordinated spiking activity really exists and whether it is relevant has been heated over the past few years. To investigate this issue, several approaches have been taken to determine whether synchronized events occur significantly above chance, that is, whether they occur more often than expected if the neurons fire independently. Most investigations ignore ...

The filiform corrosion (FFC) of organic coated magnesium alloys is investigated using in-situ scanning Kelvin probe and time-lapse photography. FFC initiated by injecting MgCl2, HCl FeCl2 into a coating defect ensuing propagation rates are shown to increase as logarithmic function the chloride ion concentration strongly dependent on relative humidity. Post-corrosion surface analysis shows abund...

The effect of coating thickness and composition on the kinetics acetic acid-induced filiform corrosion (FFC) Zinc-Aluminium-Magnesium (ZAM) coated steel is investigated. Scribe defects are created in organic coatings applied to ∼10 μm varying (1−6 wt.%. Al, 1−3 wt. % Mg), fixed (Zn-1.5 Al- 1.5 wt.% Mg) but (5−27 μm). FCC decreases with increasing Al (at thickness. A linear trend exists between ...
