Path Independence of Exotic Options and Convergence of Binomial Approximations
(Infopro Digital Risk (IP), 2019)
The analysis of the convergence of tree methods for pricing barrier and lookback options has been the subject of numerous publications aiming at describing, quantifying, and improving the slow and oscillatory convergence ...
A Theoretical Approach towards the Modeling of Vibrothermography Using Finite Element Methods
(2019-04)
The demand for preventive maintenance in the aerospace industry has been growing as part of life extension programs. Due to its reduced inspection time, part preparation requirements, floor space, and environmental concerns, ...
Estimating Dust Accumulation on Photovoltaic Modules in the UAE
(2019-05)
Among the challenges facing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), dust is considered the most severe problem that faces the growth of solar power plants. Dust accumulation on solar PV panels ...
Video Streaming over D2D Networks
(2019-04)
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has been presented as an innovation that can improve the cellular network performance by exploiting the proximity-based service between closely-located devices. Enabling D2D communication ...
Flexural Behavior of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubes (CFSTs) using Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC)
(2019-12)
Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) can be considered as possible and promising alternative to conventional reinforced concrete members and steel structures since they have superior structural properties and economic ...
Autonomous Vehicles Delivery Systems: Analyzing Vehicle Routing Problems with a Moving Depot
(2019-04)
The vast growth in the e-commerce market has increased the attention to resolving the problem of Last Mile Delivery that has significant challenges such as reducing operational cost or ecological impact and increasing ...
Modeling and simulation of hypothermia effects on cardiac electrical dynamics
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Previous experimental evidence has shown the effect of temperature on the action potential duration (APD). It has also been demonstrated that regional cooling of the heart can prolong the APD and promote the termination ...
Using the Age and Metallicity of 8 Star Clusters to confirm the Chemical Enrichment History of the LMC
(IOP Science, 2019)
In this paper, we find the ages and metallicities of 8 Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) star clusters obtained from integrated light spectra and use them to obtain the Chemical Enrichment History of the host galaxy. Our results ...
On Some Applications of the Maximum Principles to a Variety of Elliptic and Parabolic Problems
(2019-07)
One of the most important and useful tools used in the study of partial differential equations is the maximum principle. This principle is a natural extension to higher dimensions of an elementary fact of calculus: any ...
Refinancing the Rentier State: Welfare, Inequality, and Citizen Preferences toward Fiscal Reform in the Gulf Oil Monarchies
(City University of New York, 2019)
Middle East oil producers are today pursuing profound transformations of their rentier economies, including through new taxes and reductions in state spending and welfare subsidies that have supported citizens for generations. ...
