The standard approach to risk-averse control is use the exponential utility (EU) functional, which has been studied for several decades. Like other functionals, EU encodes risk aversion through an increasing convex mapping $\varphi$ o...

Healthcare systems are facing serious challenges in balancing their human resources to cope with volatile service demand, while at the same time providing necessary job satisfaction healthcare workers. In this paper, we propose a distributionally robust optimization formulation generate task assignment plan that promotes fairness allocation, attained by reducing difference total working among w...

Because there is some contamination of practically every body of water, risk analysis is important to determine diving exposure standards to pollutants, including requirements for protective equipment. In the following study we attempt to determine the increased risk of cancer in Israeli Naval divers exposed to pollutants in the Kishon River system. We calculated two risks, one using maximally ...

The emphasis on the technological and artefactual in workplace e-learning research and study are not producing the expected learning ou...

This article deals with the Value at Risk concept as it is used in practice. We show that, like the Gaussian distribution, elliptical distributions lend themselves to simple practical computations. All necessary computations are detailed for the symmetric hyperbolic distributions. A test on real stock market and exchange rate data shows the new distributions fit the data better and outperform e...
