Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Environmental Risk on the Financial Structure of Oil and Gas ProjectsBagilya Karsybayeva, Alberto De MarcoThe risk profile of a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) project affects its debt service ability. In particular, the total risk profile of an oil and gas project is heavily influenced by its environmental risk exposure. However, this risk is often not given a considerable weight in risk analysis, resulting in underestimation of project’s total riskiness and consequent overestimation of the debt capacity. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2013 · 7,195 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Bayesian Method for Disentangling Dependent Structure of Epistatic InteractionJing Zhang, Qu Zhang, Darrin Lewis, Michael Q. ZhangProblem statement: We propose a Bayesian method (RBP) to recursively infer the independence structure of epistatic interactions in case-control study. Approach: Based on the results of BEAM2, RBP can powerfully detect the marginal and conditional independence within interacting SNPs even in the complicated interaction cases. Results: We did extensive simulations to test RBP and compare it with stepwise logistic regression. … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 7,476 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHandling the Dependence of Claim Severities with Copula ModelsYulia Resti, Noriszura Ismail, Saiful Hafizah JaamanProblem statement: Several studies have been carried out on the modeling of claim severity data in actuarial literature as well as in insurance practice. Since it is well established that the claim cost distributions generally have positive support and are positively skewed, the regression models of Gamma and Lognormal have been used by practitioners for modeling claim severities. However, the … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,528 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrong Dependence at the Long Run and the Cyclical Frequencies in the Specification of the US Unemployment RateL. A. Gil-AlanaThis study deals with the presence of long range dependence at the long run and the cyclical frequencies in the specification of the US unemployment rate. We use a parametric procedure that permits us to test unit and fractional roots in raw time series. The results show that both the long run and the cyclical structures present a component of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Heat on Reinforced Concrete Frame Using Finite Element SoftwareReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour Nikghalb RashtiThe present paper examines the effect of heat on the reinforced concrete frame. A concrete frame with a specific geometric dimension has been modeled in ABAQUS finite element software and its loading capacity and other specifications, such as hardness and ductility, have been obtained. Then the concrete frame was heated under temperature 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000°C and load … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 8,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProfitability and Financial Sustainability Analysis in Italian Aquaculture Firms by Application of Economic and Financial MarginsMattia Iotti, Giuseppe BonazziAgricultural Firms operating in the aquaculture sector in Italy are often characterized by high investment and high capital intensity. In fact, these companies need to develop structures and breeding systems to generate adequate cash flow to repay their investment in fixed assets. In addition, the biological cycle of breeding further extends the need for capital, in this case to finance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 2 Apr 2015 · 8,436 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobile Phone and Short Message Service Appropriation, Usage and Behavioral Issues among University StudentsVimala Balakrishnan, Huck-Soo LooProblem statement: This study aims to explore mobile phone and Short Message Service (SMS) usage among urbanized Malaysian youth. Uses and Gratification theory was used to explore mobile phone purchasing factors, reasons to use mobile phone and SMS, usage pattern and behavioral issues related to mobile phone and SMS. Structured questionnaire surveys and 24 h diaries were distributed to 417 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 9 May 2012 · 8,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh Rate-Dependent Interaction Diagrams for Reinforced Concrete ColumnsTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Sameer Hamoush, Wonchang Choi, Moayyad Al NasraProblem statement: There is a need to better understand the rate dependence behavior of reinforced concrete structures in order to improve their response to impact and blast loads. Analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures subjected to seismic loadings has been recommended in many FEMA guidelines. However, reevaluation of design becomes extremely important in cases where large deformations are expected … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2011 · 8,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Assessment of Compressive Size Effect of Plane Concrete Using Combination of Micro-Plane Damage Based Model and 3D Finite Elements ApproachM. Labibzadeh, S. A. Sadrnejad, M. NaisipourIn recent years, the material behavior dependence of laboratory concrete specimens built with the same concrete mixture under the same load conditions to their geometrical sizes is well established. This phenomenon which is observed not only in concrete but also in most quasi-brittle materials such as rock, ceramic or composite materials is now called as size effect. Many of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,005 accessesView PDFCite
