Using the Photostationary State of Arylazopyrazoles to Control Phase Transitions of Liquid Crystals

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A series of new arylazopyrazole photoswitches is designed as dopants for liquid crystalline materials. Unprecedented, the distribution of photoisomers at the photostationary state upon irradiation with light of specific wavelengths (365, 460, 520 nm) is used to control the liquid crystalline phase transitions under isothermal conditions, including ...

Ruin probabilities for a perturbed risk model with stochastic premiums and constant interest force

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2016
In this paper, we consider a perturbed compound Poisson risk model with stochastic premiums and constant interest force. We obtain the upper bound and Lundberg-Cramér approximation for the infinite-time ruin probability, and consider the asymptotic ...

Fourier-cosine method for ruin probabilities [PDF]

, 2015
In theory, ruin probabilities in classical insurance risk models can be expressed in terms of an infinite sum of convolutions, but its inherent complexity makes efficient computation almost impossible.

The Effect of Purcell Cavities on the Lifetime of Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent Emitters

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A pressing challenge to OLED displays and lighting is to balance high efficiency and long operational lifetime in the deep blue spectrum. The Purcell effect can reduce the triplet density and hence the probability for destructive energy‐driven triplet annihilation events that limit the OLED lifetime. Here we study of the Purcell effect on two different

Modelling of Risk Process With Expense-Augmented Loss Under Economic Factors and Its Application to Aggregated General Insurance Data in Kenya

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences
In this paper, we reformulate the classical risk model to consider economic factors such as taxation and real force of interest. In the model, the premiums are assumed to be compounded by increasing annuities over some time.

Extinction in a branching process: Why some of the fittest strategies cannot guarantee survival [PDF]

, 2013
The fitness of a biological strategy is typically measured by its expected reproductive rate, the first moment of its offspring distribution. However, strategies with high expected rates can also have high probabilities of extinction. A similar situation

Localized High‐Concentration Electrolyte with Water‐Miscible Diluent Enables Stable Zinc Deposition and Long‐Life Aqueous Zinc Metal Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A diisopropyl ether (DIPE)‐based, localized, high‐concentration electrolyte is developed to stabilize both electrodes in aqueous zinc batteries. By reducing water activity and promoting anion‐rich zinc‐ion solvation, it builds robust interphases at both the cathode and anode, ensuring uniform deposition, suppressed corrosion, and highly reversible ...

Two-dimensional ruin probability for subexponential claim size

, 2017
We analyse the asymptotics of ruin probabilities of two insurance companies (or two branches of the same company) that divide between them both claims and premia in some specified proportions when the initial reserves of both companies tend to infinity ...

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

A stable iterative algorithm for evaluation of upper and lower approximations to ultimate ruin probabilities

Statistica, 2007
In this contribution we present an iterative algorithm for the calculation of two-sided numerical approximations to the probability of ultimate ruin for the classical risk model, which can be directly used in the case of compounding assets as well ...
