An Approximation of Minimum Initial Capital of Investment Discrete Time Surplus Process with Weibull Distribution in a Reinsurance Company

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2019
Catastrophe is a loss that has a low probability of occurring but can lead to high-cost claims. This paper uses the data of fire accidents from a reinsurance company in Thailand for an experiment. Our study is in two parts.

Clinical Course and Impact of Breaks in Therapy for Children With Relapsed/Refractory Solid Tumors

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pediatric relapsed or refractory (R/R) solid tumors carry a dismal prognosis, and postrelapse patient experiences are not well described. We present postrelapse outcomes, including number of R/R events and subsequent therapy regimens.

Predictive Control of Ancillary Services Using Direct Search Methods [PDF]

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2009
Abstract The paper is focused on usage of direct search methods of an optimum in the area of predictive control. The aim of the process is to find an optimal coverage of a given predicted course of output variable by means of a set of sources. Proposed approach can be used in multi source tasks where overall output is given as the sum of outputs of ...

Implementing Health‐Related Quality of Life Assessment in Pediatric Oncology: A Feasibility Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is growing interest in embedding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment and patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) within clinical cancer care. This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of implementing an electronic PROM (ePROM) platform to measure HRQoL in children with cancer ...

Faster Capacitated Arc Routing: A Sequence-to-Sequence Approach

IEEE Access, 2022
The Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) is an NP-hard optimization problem that has been investigated for decades. Heuristic search methods are commonly used to solve it.

Directed search methods for surface structure determination by LEED [PDF]

Surface Science, 1990
Conventional surface crystallography by low-energy electron diffraction employs a trial-and-error search controlled at each step by a human being. This trial-and-error approach becomes very cumbersome and unreliable when it is applied to complex surfaces with a large number of unknown structural parameters.

A PRSZT Registry Analysis of Prognostic Factors Influencing Survival and Relapse Rates After Second Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A second allogeneic (allo‐)hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT2) is a potential curative option for pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) following relapse after first allogeneic transplantation (HSCT1), but its efficacy is limited by high relapse rates and transplant‐related toxicity in highly pretreated ...
