Randomization with Asymmetric Information [PDF]

open access: yes
It is by now well-known that, in the presence of moral hazard or adverse selection, randomization of insurance premia and benefits may be Pareto efficient.

The Kumaraswamy Marshal-Olkin Family of Distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce a new family of continuous distributions called the Kumaraswamy Marshal-Olkin generalized family of distributions. We study some mathematical properties of this family.

Heterogeneous catalytic ozonation of 2, 4-dinitrophenol in aqueous solution by magnetic carbonaceous nanocomposite: catalytic activity and mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Herein, the catalytic properties of a carbonaceous nanocomposite in the catalytic ozonation process (COP) of 2, 4-dinitrophenol (2, 4-DNP) were investigated and the results were compared with those obtained from single ozonation process (SOP).

Truthful Revelation Mechanisms for Simultaneous Common Agency Games [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper considers games in which multiple principals contract simultaneously with the same agent. We introduce a new class of revelation mechanisms that, although it does not always permit a complete equilibrium characterization, it facilitates the ...

An open-source simulation platform to support and foster research collaboration in natural hazards engineering

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment
Computational simulation is a critical tool for assessing the impacts of natural hazards and informing risk mitigation and resilience strategies. The NHERI SimCenter has developed an open-source, modular framework that integrates performance-based ...

Comparative analysis of the seismic hazard of Central China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Seismic hazard assessment is globally recognised as a tool in identifying levels of earthquake ground shaking within an area. However, methodologies for seismic hazard calculation are wide ranging and produce variations in results and maps.

Modeling to COVID-19 and cancer data: Using the generalized Burr-Hatke model

open access: yesJournal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences
This paper describes an extended version of the Burr–Hatke distribution via generalizing its survival function. This model is called as the generalized Burr-Hatke distribution. The suggested model's hazard rate function can be non-increasing (decreasing)

New approach methodologies for risk assessment of urinary occurring toxicants

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The reduction, refinement, and replacement of animal-based toxicological studies is becoming an essential requirement at academic, industrial, and governmental levels, turning new approach methodologies (NAMs) from alternatives into necessities.

Characterization of bathtub distributions via percentile residual life functions [PDF]

open access: yes
In reliability theory and survival analysis, many set of data are generated by distributions with bathtub shaped hazard rate functions. Launer (1993) established several relations between the behaviour of the hazard rate function and the percentile ...
