a study on rate making and required reserves determination in reinsurance market: a simulation
reinsurance is widely recognized as an important instrument in the capital management of an insurance company as well as its risk management tool. this thesis is intended to determine premium rates for different types of reinsurance policies. also, given the fact that the reinsurance coverage of every company depends upon its reserves, so different types of reserves and the method of their calc...
Coarse-grained simulation studies of peptide-induced pore formation.
We investigate the interactions between lipid bilayers and amphiphilic peptides using a solvent-free coarse-grained simulation technique. In our model, each lipid is represented by one hydrophilic and three hydrophobic beads. The amphiphilic peptide is modeled as a hydrophobic-hydrophilic cylinder with hydrophilic caps. We find that with increasing peptide-lipid attraction the preferred state o...
متن کاملPore-space structure and average dissolution rates: A simulation study
We study the influence of the pore-space geometry on sample-averaged dissolution rates in millimeter-scale carbonate samples undergoing reaction-controlled mineral dissolution upon the injection of a CO2-saturated brine. The representation of the pore space is obtained directly from micro-CT images with a resolution of a few microns. Simulations are performed with a particle tracking approach o...
متن کاملSimulation of a semiflexible polymer in a narrow cylindrical pore
The probability that a randomly accelerated particle in two dimensions has not yet left a simply connected domain A after a time t decays as e−E0t for long times. The same quantity E0 also determines the confinement free energy per unit length ∆f = kBT E0 of a semiflexible polymer in a narrow cylindrical pore with cross section A. From simulations of a randomly accelerated particle we estimate ...
متن کاملSimulation studies of pore and domain formation in a phospholipid monolayer.
Despite extensive study the phase behavior of phospholipid monolayers at an air-water interface is still not fully understood. In particular recent vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) spectra of DPPC monolayers as a function of area density show a sharp transition in the order of the lipid chains at 1.10 nm2/molecule. This is in a region where the lateral pressure as a function of area ...
