The basic model for valuation of firm is the Dividend Discount Model (DDM). When investors buy stocks, they expect to receive two types of cash flow: dividend in the period during which the stock is owned, and the expected sales price at the end of the period. In the extreme example, the investor keeps the stock until the company is liquidated; in such a case, the liquidating dividend becomes t...

In this paper the regression problem for random sets of the Boolean model type is developed, where the corresponding poisson process of the model is related to some explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. A model we call propagation model, is presented and some methods for fitting this model are introduced. Propagation model is applied in a simulation st...

Thermodynamic data on environmental refrigerants have attracted considerable interest in the optimization and design of heat compressors, exchangers and other refrigeration equipment. In this study, An optimization algorithm was used to obtain the constant parameters of the new empirical model by fitting them to the source databank. The model was used to calculate the constant coefficients of t...

an improved mixed order model is presented to describe the thermolumunescence (tl) glow peaks. in this model a fraction of charge carriers, which undergo nonradiative recombination following thermal excitation is taken into account. therefore, it is expected that the proposed model will produce more realistic kinetic parameters than that of mixed order model. the tl glow curves generated by the...
