some manufacturers claim to have produced new irreversible hydro-colloids that are able to maintain their dimensional stability during storage. the present study evaluated the effect of storage time on dimensional stability of three alginates: hydrogum 5, tropicalgin and alginoplast.in this experimental in-vitro trial, a total of 90 alginate impressions were made from a dentoform model using hy...

Abstract We consider the estate division or bankruptcy problem and assume that players sequentially put claims on estate. Each part of is then divided proportionally with respect to number it. focus myopic play: first claim hitherto least claimed parts, subgame perfect equilibria. Our main result strategies constitute a equilibrium if punishments for deviators are included.

Embrechts and Veraverbeke investigated the renewal risk model and gave a tail equivalence relationship of the ruin probabilities ψ(x) under the assumption that the claim size is heavy-tailed, which is regarded as a classical result in the context of extremal value theory. In this note we extend this result to the delayed renewal risk model.

Veraverbeke (1977, Stochastic Processes Appl. 5, no. 1, 27–37) and Embrechts and Veraverbeke (1982, Insurance Math. Econom. 1, no. 1, 55–72) obtained a simple asymptotic relation for the ruin probability in the renewal risk model under the assumption that the claim size is heavy tailed. This note points out that the relation still holds in the delayed renewal risk model.
