the main logic behind the demand for life insurance is to hedge against the labor income uncertainty due to premature death of a wage earner. in other words, life insurance is the device by which this labor income uncertainty is handled. for insurers, the uncertainty arises from the lack of knowledge about the age of death of the wage earner. this paper attempts to derive life insurance demand ...

The flow in an elastico-viscous fluid between two co-axial infinite rotating porous discs is considered for high cross flow Reynolds number. The discs are rotating with different angular velocity and the injection rate of the fluid at one disc is different from the suction rate of other disc. The effect of suction parameters on the velocity components have been investigated numerically and solv...

In this paper, a novel ‘‘delayand utility-oriented (DUO)’’ resource allocation algorithm for the mixture of real-time (RT) and non-real-time services in orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems is proposed. The proposed DUO algorithm considers delayutility function and rate-utility function simultaneously, scheduling RT packets approaching the deadline first and then achieving as m...
