Calculating total cast of bank resources procurement methods which include current -free loan deposit, saving interest-free loan deposit, regular and net short-term investment deposit, long-term investment deposit and surety bond cash deposit and presenting their optimal integration require precise scientific studies. Hence, this study is an attempt to know which methods are the best optimal in...

We conducted studies to determine whether introducing an interactive textbook into introductory STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) courses can improve student grades. An interactive textbook has substantially less text than a traditional textbook, instead having numerous embedded question sets designed for learning and not quizzing, numerous animations of key concepts, and some built...

The Resource Space Model is a new semantic data model for managing various resources. Based on the model, this paper proposes a view mechanism for finding and reusing legacy Resource Spaces according to users’ idiosyncratic interests. It establishes flexible reorganizing mechanism of legacy Resource Spaces to reduce redundant work. As a viewpoint organization strategy, the resource subject tree...

Software development project employs some Quality Control (QC) process to detect and remove defects. The final quality of the delivered software depends on the effort spent on all the QC stages. Given a quality goal, different combinations of efforts for the different QC stages may lead to the same goal. In this paper we address the problem of allocating resources to the different QC stages, su...

This paper investigates the implications of an intertemporally dependent demand structure in the market for an exhaustible resource. The demand structure is derived endogenously in a partial equilibrium model where price-taking users combine the resource with capital to produce final output. It is shown that, when demand for the resource is modelled explicitly as a derived demand, the common as...
