(INT JOURNAL CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS & ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES, 2018)
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 ...
Alternative Media and the Securitization of Climate Change in Turkey
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2018)
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, ...
Aggregation for Computing Multi-Modal Stationary Distributions in 1-D Gene Regulatory Networks
(IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 2018)
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 ...
A method of strategic evaluation of energy performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaic in the urban context
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018)
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 ...
Poor modules with no proper poor direct summands
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2018)
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 ...
On optimal singular control problem for general Mckean-Vlasov differential equations: Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions
(WILEY, 2018)
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 ...
Distributed wide-area control of power system oscillations under communication and actuation constraints
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2018)
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 ...
