Optimality of Threshold Strategies for Spectrally Negative Lévy Processes and a Positive Terminal Value at Creeping Ruin [PDF]

open access: yesNorth American Actuarial Journal, 2021
This article investigates a dividend optimization problem with a positive creeping-associated terminal value at ruin for spectrally negative Lévy processes. We consider an insurance company whose surplus process evolves according to a spectrally negative

An advance selling strategy with a trade-in program

open access: yesJUSTC, 2022
Recently, advance selling and trade-in programs have become increasingly popular in many industries. While previous studies have examined these two strategies individually, the combination of both strategies has not been studied.

Machine tools with hidden defects: Optimal usage for maximum lifetime value

open access: yesIISE Transactions, 2020
We consider randomly failing high-precision machine tools in a discrete manufacturing setting. Before a tool fails, it goes through a defective phase where it can continue processing new products.

ASPEK-ASPEK YURIDIS DALAM SALVAGE (PENYELAMATAN KECELAKAAN KAPAL)

open access: yesLex Journal Kajian Hukum & Keadilan, 2018
Any kind of fortuitiuos events on the sea, such as a distressed vessel could cause financial loss to the master and also damage of the environment. It needs some effort that could be done for minimizing and prevent the impacts of perils of the sea.

A Reward Functional to Solve the Replacement Problem

open access: yes, 2012
The replacement problem can be modeled as a finite, irreducible, homogeneous Markov Chain. In our proposal the problem was modeled using a Markov decision process and then, the instance was optimized using dynamic programming.

Re‐Awakening Public Attention to the Silent Pandemic of Cancer Among Older Adults in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global populations age, cancer is increasingly becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Despite accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths, older individuals remain underrepresented in cancer research, clinical guidelines, and health ...

Aging Is a Key Driver for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a classical age‐related hematologic malignancy, and a key driver of AML is aging, which profoundly regulates intrinsic factors such as genomic instability, epigenetic reprogramming, and metabolic dysregulation, and alters bone marrow microenvironment.

Effect of Laser Deoxidation on Adhesive‐Bonded Aluminum in an Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates laser ablation of aluminum under oxygen‐free conditions. The goal is to produce oxide‐free substrates that enable improved adhesive bonding with epoxy. Optimized laser parameters (90% overlap, 300 µJ) combined with oxide‐free substrates result in the highest tensile strength of the adhesive bond.

Productivity‐Driven Optimization of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Parameters for IN718 Superalloy: Process Control, Microstructure, and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates how optimizing laser power, scanning speed, and hatching distance in laser powder bed fusion can boost the productivity of Inconel 718 manufacturing by up to 29% while maintaining mechanical integrity. The work delivers a validated process window and cost–time analysis, offering industry‐ready guidelines for efficient additive ...

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Deoxidation of Natively Oxide Layer of Copper Powders in a Fluidized Bed

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel approach to reducing oxide layers on metal powders using low‐temperature hydrogen dielectric barrier discharge plasmas at atmospheric pressure. Unlike conventional hydrogen‐plasma reductions, the powders do not contact the plasma directly.
