Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality Metric Development Framework (qMDF)K. Mustafa, R. A. KhanSeveral object-oriented metrics have been developed and used in conjunction with the quality models to predict the overall quality of software. However, it may not be enough to propose metrics. The fundamental question may be of their validity, utility and reliability. It may be much significant to be sure that these metrics are really useful and for that their construct … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,379 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSemantic Refinement of Multi-meaning Words by T-normsF. Sadeghi, H. Khosravi, E. EslamiIn this paper we consider a multi-meaning word which appears in a sentence together with some connected words. To refine the meaning of this multi-meaning word, we propose a method based on T-norms which are reasonable mathematical models of logical conjunction operator in fuzzy logic. The preliminary results derived from a prepared corpus are encouraging. …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,416 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of Caspase-dependant Apoptosis by Enterovirus 70 in Human Lens Epithelial SRA01/04 CellsDequan Chen, Chris Duggan, Donald E. Texada et al.Enterovirus 70 (EV70), an etiological agent of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC), induces apoptosis in human Chang’s conjunctival (HCC) cells. EV70 is also able to infect and replicate in some other human cells such as human lens epithelial SRA01/04 cells and U937 cells. EV70 infection was found to induce apoptosis in SRA01/04 cells. During EV70-induced apoptosis of SRA01/04 cells, the expression … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,636 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPush-pull Strategy with Trap Crops, Neem and Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus for Insecticide Resistance Management in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in CottonP. Duraimurugan, A. RegupathyInsecticide resistance in Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is a major threat to cotton production in India. The virus infection was found to increase the susceptibility of H. armigera to the insecticides. But, use of Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (NPV) on a larger scale and on cotton due to leaf alkalinity poses certain practical problems. Hence, studies were carried out to assess the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 9,098 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtending UML-RT for Control System ModelingQimin Gao, L. J. Brown, L. F. CapretzThere is a growing interest in adopting object technologies for the development of real-time control systems. Several commercial tools, currently available, provide object-oriented modeling and design support for real-time control systems. While these products provide many useful facilities, such as visualization tools and automatic code generation, they are all weak in addressing the central characteristic of real-time control systems design, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 6,743 accessesView PDF Cite
