Elevated summer temperatures are a disrupting factor on the rail network. Due to risk of track buckling under thermal expansion forces, geometry maintenance must be delayed during heatwaves, leading an overall decreased network availability and reliability. Track asset management support tools used plan schedule variety activities, with tamping stoneblowing being primary activities for maintena...

We investigate relations among inside ownership, managerial expenses, risk sharing and equity valuations. Our engine of analysis—Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)—provides a unique and rich framework for analysis since we can calculate extremely accurate measures of asset replacement costs, and hence relative valuation (Tobin’s q). Further, the nature of the financial statements allows us t...

Consider an insurance company which is allowed to invest into a riskless and a risky asset under a constant mix strategy. The total claim amount is modeled by a non-standard renewal risk model with dependence between the claim size and the inter-arrival time introduced by a Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula.

A neural net capable of restoring continuous level library vectors from memory is considered. As with Hopfield's neural net content addressable memory, the vectors in the memory library are used to program the neural interconnects. Given a portion of one of the library vectors, the net extrapolates the remainder. Sufficient conditions for convergence are stated. Effects of processor inexactitud...

In this paper, we present a spatial model of the public provision of the performing arts. Agents behave boundedly rational. Art directors set performance quality according to their aspiration levels.
