On a Dual Model with Barrier Strategy [PDF]
We consider the dual of the generalized Erlang(n) risk model with a barrier dividend strategy. We derive integro-differential equations with boundary conditions satisfied by the expectation of the sum of discounted dividends until ruin and the moment ...

Strategic Communication and Barriers to Strategy Implementation [PDF]
This research work's core objective is to categorise and understand the barriers to strategic implementation, focusing, then, through an inquiry, in the most voted of them, to make a deeper analysis on one of the variables. To that end, this document begins with a literature review and begins to identify the importance that strategic communication has ...

Barrier membranes for periodontal guided bone regeneration: a potential therapeutic strategy
Periodontal disease is one of the most common oral diseases with the highest incidence world-wide. In particular, the treatment of periodontal bone defects caused by periodontitis has attracted extensive attention. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) has been

Barriers and strategies to achieve a cure for HIV [PDF]
9 years since the report of a cure for HIV after C-C chemokine receptor type 5 Δ32 stem cell transplantation, no other case of HIV cure has been reported, despite much research. However, substantial progress has been made in understanding the biology of the latent HIV reservoir, and in measuring the amount of virus that persists after antiretroviral ...

On optimality of the barrier strategy in de Finetti's dividend problem for spectrally negative L\'{e}vy processes [PDF]
We consider the classical optimal dividend control problem which was proposed by de Finetti [Trans. XVth Internat. Congress Actuaries 2 (1957) 433--443]. Recently Avram, Palmowski and Pistorius [Ann. Appl. Probab.

De Finetti’s Control Problem with Parisian Ruin for Spectrally Negative Lévy Processes
We consider de Finetti’s stochastic control problem when the (controlled) process is allowed to spend time under the critical level. More precisely, we consider a generalized version of this control problem in a spectrally negative Lévy model ...

In-situ defect detection systems for R2R flexible PV barrier films [PDF]
Film processing procedures by means of Roll-to-Roll (R2R) for barrier coatings can often result in PV barrier films being manufactured with significant quantities of defects, which resulting in lower efficiency and a short life span.

Convexity and smoothness of scale functions and de Finetti's control problem [PDF]
Under appropriate conditions, we obtain smoothness and convexity properties of $q$-scale functions for spectrally negative L\'evy processes. Our method appeals directly to very recent developments in the theory of potential analysis of subordinators.
