Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFlow of Dividends under a Constant Force of InterestJuma Kasozi, Jostein PaulsenThis study addresses the issue of maximization of dividends of an insurer whose portfolio is exposed to insurance risk. The insurance risk arises from the classical surplus process commonly known as the Cramér-Lundberg model in the insurance literature. To enhance his financial base, the insurer invests in a risk free asset whose price dynamics are governed by a constant force … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 7,386 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNumerical Ultimate Ruin Probabilities under Interest ForceJuma Kasozi, Jostein PaulsenThis work addresses the issue of ruin of an insurer whose portfolio is exposed to insurance risk arising from the classical surplus process. Availability of a positive interest rate in the financial world forces the insurer to invest into a risk free asset. We derive a linear Volterra integral equation of the second kind and apply an order four Block-by-block … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,491 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessment of Surface Treatment on Fatigue Life of Cylinder Block for Linear Engine using Frequency Response ApproachM. M. Rahman, A. K. Ariffin, S. Abdullah et al.Objectives: This study was focused on the finite element techniques to investigate the effect of surface treatment on the fatigue life of the vibrating cylinder block for new two-stroke free piston engine using random loading conditions. Motivation: An understanding of the effects related to the random loading is necessary to improve the ability of designers to accurately predict the fatigue … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 8,139 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScalable and Advanced Framework for Hate Speech Detection on Social Media Using BERT and GPT-2 through Encoder and Decoder ArchitecturesUsman, Nabeela Hasan, Syed Mohammad Khurshid QuadriHate speech is a major problem on social media platforms. Every day, numerous instances of hateful behavior based on race, ethnicity, religion, or gender are witnessed on social media. Most of the leading social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter Reddit, etc., have strong community guidelines that condemn and restrict the exchange of hateful language/content in any form. Despite the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 7 Feb 2025 · 7,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-Feature Recognition of Healthy Vegetable Seedlings Based on Machine Vision TechnologyKaikang Chen, Yongkun Fu, Yongjun Zheng et al.The quality of potted seedlings has an important influence on the yield of vegetables during seedling raising and transplanting. The inconsistency of potted seedlings after transplanting is the main factor causing the decline in vegetable quality and yield. To eliminate or reduce this influence, the health test of potted vegetable seedlings before transplanting is particularly important to ensure crop yield. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2022 · 6,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Scarification and Sucrose Priming Overcome Physical Dormancy in Caesalpinia spinosa (Tara) Seeds from the Peruvian HighlandsWilfredo Ruiz-Camacho, Ítalo Maldonado Ramirez, Juan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira et al.Caesalpinia spinose (tara) is a leguminous tree native to the Peruvian Andes-Amazon region, valued for soil restoration and high tannin content. However, its large-scale propagation is constrained by physical seed dormancy caused by a hard and impermeable seed coat. This study evaluated six pre-germination treatments to break dormancy and enhance early seedling development under local agroclimatic conditions in Magdalena District, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2026 · 1,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCascaded MNetV3UNet: A Lightweight Two-Stage Architecture for High-Precision Brain Tumor Segmentation in MRIMayuri Popat, Sanskruti PatelPrecise brain tumor segmentation is an essential but quite challenging process in MRI images because of their irregular shapes, heterogeneous appearance, and low contrast with surrounding tissues. While U-Net-based architectures have achieved significant success, their high computational complexity limits deployment on resource-constrained systems. In this study, a Novel two-stage cascaded architecture, MNetV3UNet, is introduced, which employs the light-weight MobileNetV3-Large as … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 23 Feb 2026 · 1,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOmni-Zernike Algorithm for Template Matching in Catadioptric SystemAnisse Khald, Amina Radgui, Mohammed RzizaImage descriptor have been widely applied in many computer visions and image understanding applications including pattern recognition, robotic, video surveillance, camera calibration and image retrieval, etc. Invariants features are robust when apply several transformations of photometry (illumination, blur, noise, JPEG compression) and transformations of geometry (scaling, rotation, translation and viewpoint change). In this study, we present representation and matching region … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 12 · 30 Dec 2020 · 6,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Commuting Time in a Metropolitan Statistical Area Using Spatial Autocorrelation AnalysisS. Hessam Miri, S. Behnam MiriCommuting is an unavoidable issue as living and working are two spatially separated activities for most people. The most influence of commuting is on land uses and transportation systems and ultimately it poses its consequences to the society. Research on urban commuting is one of the most favorable approaches to lessening the impact and intensity of land use and transportation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,421 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Rearing Method and Varying Energy Levels on Performance and Growth Rate of Male Kamang DucksSabrina, Husmaini, Firda Arlina, Linda SuhartatiThis study was conducted to determine the performance of male Kamang ducks reared with pools and without pools with three different levels of ration energy. This study used a Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) with a divided plot design with the main plot consisting of pools, and without pools, subplots consisted of ration energy levels of E1 (2700 Kcal/kg), E2 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 9 Jun 2022 · 6,034 accessesView PDFCite
