A three-step sequential compound real options (SCRO) method is developed and applied to the South African technology for fluidised bed combustion with carbon capture storage (FBCwCCS). The objective of this paper address plan’s implementation when electricity demand uncertain. SCRO results are compared net present value (NPV) approach. data both SRCO NPV extracted from mixed integer two-stage s...

Abstract The purpose of this paper to establish the semilocal convergence analysis three-step Kurchatov method under weaker conditions in Banach spaces. We construct recurrence relations assumption that involved first-order divided difference operators satisfy $$\omega $$ ω condition. Theorems are given for e...

OBJECTIVE Few studies have concomitantly examined shoulder subluxation and other potential causes of shoulder pain in persons who have had a stroke. This study explores whether shoulder pain after stroke is related to shoulder subluxation, age, limitations in shoulder range of motion, and upper extremity motor impairment. METHOD Shoulder pain was measured with a visual analog scale in 20 subj...

The phase field method integrates the Griffith theory and damage mechanics approach to predict crack initiation, propagation, and branching within one framework. No crack tracking topology is needed, and complex crack shapes can be captures without user intervention. In this paper, a detailed description of how the phase field method is implemented with explicit dynamics into LS-DYNA is provide...
