Corporate governance principles are trying to ensure reliable and well-functioning firms and sound financial systems, thus well-governed firms are expected to be performing better than their counterparts. The aim of this ...

Studies on securitization dynamics in a growing number of sectors have been conducted, including securitization of climate change. However, a relatively understudied agent of securitization is media. In the proposed analysis, ...

This paper proposes aggregation-based, three-stage algorithms to overcome the numerical problems encountered in computing stationary distributions and mean first passage times for multi-modal birth-death processes of large ...

This paper presents an integrated bottom-up approach aimed at helping those dealing with strategical analysis of installation of Building Integrated Photo Voltaic (BIPV) to estimate the electricity production potential ...

As a mean to provide intrinsic characterizations of poor modules, the notion of a pauper module is introduced. A module is a pauper if it is poor and has no proper poor direct summand We show that not all rings have pauper ...

Study Objective: To investigate whether carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum causes ischemia-reperfusion injury to the ovaries during laparoscopic surgery. Design: A prospective controlled clinical study (Canadian Task Force ...

In this paper, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal singular control for systems governed by general controlled McKean-Vlasov differential equations, in which the coefficients depend on the state ...

In this paper a distributed Model Predictive Control design is presented for inter-area oscillation damping in power systems under two critical cyber-physical constraints namely, communication constraints that lead to ...

Background: The increased volume in demand world wide in the present day has led to the need for the establishment of effective ambulance services. As call centers have become the primary contact point between patients and ...

This paper reports on the fundamental role played by Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), alongside advanced processing and presentation methods, during the tunnel boring project at a Dam and Hydro -Electric Power Station. It ...
