In any classical risk model one of the important random variable is time to ruin. As time to ruin warns the management for possible adverse situations that may arise, the distribution of time to ruin place a vital role in the day to day transactions of the any insurance company. Moments of the distribution are also important as coefficient of skewness of the distribution is very important in ac...

the clean development mechanism (cdm) under the kyoto protocol is the only mechanism with dual objectives in which non-annex b countries of the protocol, particular developing countries, have the ability to participate in it. certified emission reduction (cer) units resulting from the activities of the cdm projects are the tradable units that usually traded by the participants in these projects...

Sliding window is an interesting model to solve frequent pattern mining problem since it does not need entire history of received transactions and can handle concept change by considering recent data. However, in the previous sliding window algorithms, required amount of memory and processing time with respect to limited number of transactions within window is very large. To overcome this short...

Ptrim is a purely decentralised application for performing peer-to-peer transactions. Instead of relying on a typical trust/reputation management approach, Ptrim allows its users to manage and reduce the risk inherent in their transactions by including a transaction risk management layer on top of the main transaction processing system. This layer is based on the financial principles behind cre...

The question of women‘s rights in Islam generates huge interest among Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Scholars of feminism are sharply divided on the question of women‘s status in Islam. One group associates Islam with misogyny and gender oppression, while the other celebrates the religion as a liberatory force for women. Remarkably, despite a surge in female educational attainment and conscious...

T o what extent does the separation of powers affect congressional roll call voting behavior? To answer this question, I offer a strategic model of congressional decision making that asserts members of Congress pursue public policy goals when casting roll call votes. From the equilibrium predictions of a formal model, I generate testable hypotheses by computing the expected net amount of sophis...

Abstract — An Asset-Liability Management model with a novel strategy for controlling risk of underfunding is presented in this paper. The basic model involves Multi-Period decisions (portfolio optimization) and deals with the usual uncertainty of investment returns and future liabilities. Therefore, is it well suited to a stochastic programming approach. We consider the problem of rebalancing p...

We present novel results that relate energy and information transfer with sensitivity to initial conditions in chaotic multi-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. We show the relation among Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, Lyapunov exponents, and upper bounds for the Mutual Information Rate calculated in the Hamiltonian phase space and on bi-dimensional subspaces. Our main result is that the net amount of ...

The present study aims to investigate the association between political connections and related-party transactions for the firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). Sample includes the 485 firm-year observations from companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2013 to 2017 and research hypothesis was tested using multivariate regression model based on panel data.We fin...
