let x be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. in many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. as the usual estimator of θ, i.e., x under the linex loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for x becomes worthwhile. the only study in the literature considered the problem of min...

the loss of the papilla can lead to cosmetic deformities, phonetic problems and lateral food impaction. several reasons con-tribute to the loss of interdental papillae and the establishment of “black triangles” between teeth. in 1996, han and takei proposed a novel approach based on the use of a semi-lunar incision placed in the alveolar mucosa of the interdental area. the present case report, ...

Default loss distribution of corporate portfolios plays a crucial role in CDO tranche pricing, tracking error calculation and profit/loss assessment of corporation systems. This work gives an efficient algorithm to calculate the default loss distribution based on Hull-White probability bucketing approach and importance sampling method. The Gaussian copula model is assumed to calculate the condi...

Insurance premiums reflect expectations about the future losses of each insured. Given dearth cyber security loss data, market could shed light on true magnitude despite noise from factors unrelated to losses. To that end, we extract insurance pricing information regulatory filings 26 insurers. We provide empirical observations how vary by coverage type, amount, and policyholder type over time....

Distribution is a tool for creating a competitive advantage. In choosing the distribution method, costs should be taken into account. In this research I will explain distribution channels that include intensive distribution, selective distribution and exclusive distribution. Exactly, the intensive distribution as the one of the main distribution channels will be explained. Also the advantages a...

Proper location of DGs in power systems is important for obtaining their maximum potential benefits. This paper deals with DG for minimizing active power loss and D-statcom for reactive power loss minimization is considered. The proper siting of DG and D-statcom is a recently developed combination with the aim of reducing line loss in a radial distribution system. Loss Sensitivity Factor (LSF) ...

This paper proposes a methodology for practical siting and sizing of Hybrid energy systems (HESs) consist of: wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV) and combined heat and power (CHP) units. In this method, the interaction of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PIEVs) in the electric distribution system is considered. Electric Vehicle are seen to have some negative impacts on electric distribution system p...

 Abstract: Local flux may be distorted in many regions of core, although total flux is usually sinusoidal. When attempting to predict the loss distribution in materials operating under localized distorted flux conditions, which occur in machines and transformer cores, it is essential that proper account of the waveform be taken. Moreover for development of new magnetic materials and generation ...
