In some illnesses, the patients who do not adhere to the prescribed medicines end up again in hospital. How should the pertinent … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Jul 2014 · 7,227 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATING LOSS SEVERITY DISTRIBUTION: CONVOLUTION APPROACHRo J. PakFinancial loss can be classified into two types such as expected loss and unexpected loss. A current definition seeks to separate two losses from a total loss. In this article, however, we redefine a total loss as the sum of expected and unexpended losses; then the distribution of loss can be considered as the convolution of the distributions of both … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 2 May 2014 · 6,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTRUSTED CLOUD COMPUTING FRAMEWORK FOR HEALTHCARE SECTORMervat Adib Bamiah, Sarfraz Nawaz Brohi, Suriayati Chuprat, Jamalul-lail Ab MananCloud computing is rapidly evolving due to its efficient characteristics such as cost-effectiveness, availability and elasticity. Healthcare organizations and consumers lose control when they outsource their sensitive data and computing resources to a third party Cloud Service Provider (CSP), which may raise security and privacy concerns related to data loss and misuse appealing threats. Lack of consumers’ knowledge about their … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Nov 2013 · 7,695 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDividend Maximization in the Cramer-Lundberg Model using Homotopy Analysis MethodJuma Kasozi, Fred Mayambala, Charles Wilson MaheraProblem statement: We used the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) to numerically compute the value function of the dividend payment in the basic insurance process. Approach: The process is a constant income stream from premiums which is subtracted a claim process of the Poisson type. Further, an allowance for payment of dividends to share holders was incorporated. Results: The case when … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 7,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fragile Watermarking Scheme for Image Authentication with Tamper Localization Using Integer Wavelet TransformP. MeenakshiDevi, M. Venkatesan, K. DuraiswamyProblem statement: In recent years, as digital media are gaining wider popularity, their security related issues are becoming greater concern. Method for authenticating and assuring the integrity of the image is required. Image authentication is possible by embedding a layer of the authentication signature into the digital image using a digital watermark. In some applications tamper localization is also required. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrocontroller Based Power SupplyTanvir Singh Mundra, Er. Satwinder Singh Sachdeva, K.S. KahlonThese days, majority of electronic devices work on DC power source, so there was a requirement of a reliable and customized power supply. Generally, the requirements are not too varied, but still they require every time a new hardware designing. The idea presented here is to build a microcontroller controlled power supply[1] that is flexible enough to meet different customer … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2006 · 6,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical 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 · 6,495 accessesView PDFCite
