This study examined the relationship between depressive symptoms and bias in the prediction of future life events. Responding to internet announcements, 153 participants varying widely in self-reported depression symptom severity estimated the probability of 40 events occurring over the succeeding 30 days. After the 30-day period, participants reported which events occurred. Optimistic/pessimis...

In traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) the uncertainty of inputs and outputs is not considered when evaluating the performance of a unit. In other words, effects of uncertainty on optimality and feasibility of models are ignored. This paper introduces a new model for measuring the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) having interval inputs and outputs. The proposed model is based ...

In this paper we consider real-time concurrency control for the nested transaction model. We analyze problems that have pure optimistic and pessimistic approaches. As the solution we propose a hybrid concurrency control algorithm which acts as an optimistic for transactions from different transaction trees and as pessimistic inside a single transaction tree.

Associated gas is a viable source of fuel for industrial turbines. Flaring this resource has not only resulted in environmental pollution and deterioration but also huge energy economic loss. TURBOMATCH, Cranfield University performance simulation software was used modeling hypothetical realistic 296MW reheat turbine engine.The study carried out using one clean fleet three degraded fleets – the...
