We introduce the concept of a rational valuation system which encompasses both the Net Present Value (NPV) methodology and martingale based methods used in connection with discrete time Real Options Analysis (ROA). This way we show that the valuation process can be looked at in separation from a specific valuation technique. We also show that flexibility and adaptability — usually presented as ...

A simulation-based real options analysis (ROA) approach is used to determine the optimum predictive maintenance opportunity for a wind turbine with a remaining useful life (RUL) prediction. When an RUL is predicted for a subsystem in a single turbine using PHM, a predictive maintenance option is triggered that the decision-maker has the flexibility to decide if and when to exercise before the s...

Accessible values of the φ and ψ torsional angles determining peptide main chain conformation are traditionally displayed in the form of Ramachandran plots. The number of experimental methods making it possible to determine such conformational distribution is limited. In the present study, Raman optical activity (ROA) spectra of Ac-Ala-NHMe were measured and fit by theoretical curves. This reve...

Several organisations in the upstream petroleum industry have begun to incorporate the cost of dealing with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into their project evaluation processes. The risks due to these costs, like many other petroleum project risks, involve long lead times demanding a flexible response. Moreover, the patterns of risks in these costs are complex and different from other more st...

the main purpose of this paper is to investigate the performance of nigerian insurance companies using data envelopment analysis (dea). because of the unavailability of the required data, the study is limited to ten nigerian insurance companies for the period of five years from 2008 to 2012. the input employed were commission expenses and management expenses, while premium and investment income...
