high congestion of returned product at remanufacturing facility causes substantial delays and consequently remarketing value losses for time-sensitive and high-tech products with short life cycles, such as electronic equipments. at the remanufacturing site the returned product are inspected and classified according to their quality and processing time in one of the two classes: class 1 being ad...

An approach to compute optimum seismic design parameters is presented. It is based on the optimization of the expected present value of the total cost, which includes the initial cost of structures as well as the cost due to earthquakes. Different types of seismicity models are considered, including one for characteristic earthquakes. Uncertainties are included in some variables to observe the ...

The purpose of this study was mathematical model development for assessing the cost losses from risks in maritime transportation goods that are dynamic nature, and developing a methodical approach to costs assessment each separately integral all ensuring fulfillment requirement anticipate insurance changes over rate change risk (or its stage). factor analysis water transport, their classificati...

In this paper, we present the macro stress test with a credit risk approach for banking system of Iran during the period 2004Q1-2019Q4. The goal is to evaluate the vulnerability of the banking system through credit risk to the country economic shocks. In this regard, the developed method of Wilson (1997) Credit Portfolio View model including macroeconomic variables and default rate has been use...

The value of animal health surveillance and monitoring services equals the expected losses they prevent. Even though catastrophic losses can be caused by a number of exotic animal diseases, in this study the losses arise exclusively from an assumed FMD outbreak that starts in the South Valley and, eventually, involves the entire San Joaquin and Chino Valleys. Hence, the estimated value should b...
