Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE MANAGEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY: MODEL FOR EVALUATION OF HUMAN ERROR PROBABILITY IN RAILWAY SYSTEMLombardi Mara, Guarascio Massimo, Rossi GiulianoThe methodology of quantitative risk assessment in use in the railway industry refers the RAMS approach, as expected in EN 50126, to define the failure of the system. From the probability of failure follows the evaluation of the failure consequence, the check of the accident occurrence and finally, the analysis of the achievable accident scenarios to quantify the damage as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NOVEL OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR SIMULTANEOUS COST-RISK REDUCTION IN MULTI-SUPPLIERS JUST-IN-TIME SYSTEMSFaraj El Dabee, Romeo Marian, Yousef AmerIn today’s competitive global markets, Just-in-Time (JIT) is one of the main lean manufacturing approaches. It is used in organizations to improve performance and reduce costs and as a strategic core capability to ensure their market position. However, using JIT tightly couples various functions of the Supply Chain and increases the risk of propagating disruptions through the entire system. This … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 25 Nov 2013 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATION OF CLAIM COST DATA USING ZERO ADJUSTED GAMMA AND INVERSE GAUSSIAN REGRESSION MODELSYulia Resti, Noriszura Ismail, Saiful Hafizah JamaanIn actuarial and insurance literatures, several researchers suggested generalized linear regression models (GLM) for modeling claim costs as a function of risk factors. The modeling of claim costs involving both zero and positive claims experience has been carried out by fitting the claim costs collectively using Tweedie model. However, the probability of zero claims in Tweedie model is not allowed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2013 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNevirapine Hepatotoxicity: Implications of Risk FactorsElias Adikwu, Oputiri Deo, Oru-Bo Precious Geoffrey, D. Akuegbe EnimeyaHighly active antiretroviral therapy is used in the management of HIV/AIDS; it has contributed tremendously in the reduction of mortality and morbidity rate in HIV patients. Despite the outstanding achievement with the use of HAART its major limitation is toxicity. Among these toxicities is hepatotoxicity which is said to be associated with nevirapine containing highly active antiretroviral therapy. Recent reports … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2013 · 7,653 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Ecotourism Travel Risk on Word-of-Mouth: Via Fuzzy Set PerspectiveFangyi Liu, Cheng-Hsi Fang, Hsueh-Lan Chan, Tom Meng-Yen LinBecause of the subjective cognition on Word-Of Mouth (WOM) influence and the fuzziness on perceived-risk judgment, perceived risk in WOM Influence is a venture variable, which cannot be measured directly. The aim of this study is to define the mathematics meaning of the influence and develop a new fuzzy set method to build the influence membership function to exactly measure … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 7,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerioperative Care of Elderly Surgical PatientsAly SaberAdvancing age is characterized by functional impairment of the many regulatory processes that provide integration between organs and therefore, may lead failure to maintain homeostasis under conditions of physiological stress. There are two main factors helping to identify the high risk for surgery. The first relates to the type of surgery and the second to the scope of cardiopulmonary functional … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2013 · 8,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Price Hedging Model in Dynamic MarketKuo-Wei Lin, Kuang-Jung Tseng, Szu-Cheng ChengProblem statement: Pricing is a problem when a firm has to set a price for the first time. This happens when the firm develops or acquires a new product, introduces its regular product into a new distribution or geographical area, or enters bids on the new contract work. Many companies try to set the price to maximize current profits. They … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 3 Aug 2012 · 6,938 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTruncated Estimate in Log-Binomial Model: Algorithm and SimulationLuyan Dai, Yang Li, Ye ShenProblem statement: Relative risk has concrete meanings of comparing two groups and measuring the association between exposures and outcomes in medical and public health studies. Log-binomial model, using a log link function on binary outcomes, is straightforward to estimate risk ratios, whereas generates boundary problems. When the estimates are located near the boundary of constrained parameter space, common approaches or … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 7 May 2012 · 8,291 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient and the Mind-Body Axis, in Relation to Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Amino AcidsToru Takahashi, Eri Toda, Ram B. Singh et al.Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs); obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) and cancer have become major health problems in both developing and developed countries. Physical inactivity and increased intake of energy rich proinflammatory foods in association with genetic predisposition are common primary risk factors for these problems. Mind-body interactions and mechanisms in relation to hypothalamus neurotransmitters and vagus nerve have … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposed Reliability Techniques on Soil and Rock ExcavationsS. TangchawalProblem statement: Assessment of the ground mass excavation is normally done by the deterministic method. A quantitative indication of mass stability provides as an index term known "the Factor of Safety (F.S.)". There are uncertain to some degrees, such as only a single value of mass properties is used or variation in geologic conditions, computed values of F.S. are never … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,411 accessesView PDFCite
