RISDelay-Dependent Robust Stability Analysis for Premium-Reserve Models in an Arbitrary Regime Switching Discrete-Time Framework
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the insurance industry, the actuarial team experiences significant challenges for pricing a competitive but also fair premium and keeping an accurate level of reserve, which leads inevitably to numerous adjustments over ...
Preparation and Characterization of Pt/Superfine Mesocarbon Microbead Powers Electrocatalysts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Superfine mesocarbon microbead powders (SFMCMBs) as the new supports for platinum electrocatalysts were first investigated. The Pt∕SFMCMB electrocatalysts were prepared by an impregnation-reduction ...
Test Error Sensitivity for Methods of Testing Prestressed Friction Loss
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although numerous studies have been conducted on prestressed duct friction loss test methods, only a few have considered the error sensitivities of the test methods used. For this paper, to conduct a prestressed duct ...
Impact of Inherent Factors on the Radiolytic Degradation of Biorefractory Contaminants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experiments were carried out to gain insight into the effect of inherent factors on the radiolytic degradation of two biorefractory contaminants, Acid Orange 7 (AO7) and nitrobenzene (NB). The effects of irradiation dose rate
Debonding Failures of RC Beams Strengthened with Near Surface Mounted CFRP Strips
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of tests conducted on reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in flexure with near surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. As the main focus of ...
