A Pseudo-Pareto Distribution and Concomitants of Its Order Statistics
(Springer, 2016)
Pareto distributions are very flexible probability models with various forms and kinds. In this paper a new bivariate Pseudo-Pareto distribution and its properties are presented and discussed. Main variables order statistics ...
Re-Considering The Linkage Between The Antecedents and Consequences of Happiness
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
A growing number of studies examine the antecedents of happiness but only a handful of them appear to undertake an analysis of its consequences. Employing a unique cross-sectional data set of 413 adults we examine the ...
An integrated approach to concept evaluation in a new product development
(Springer, 2016)
A new product development (NPD) process can be thought as a comprehensive process in which the design is progressively detailed through a series of phases. At the end of each phase a design review is held to approve the ...
Literature of Immigration as a Literature of Europe
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016)
Any understanding of European literature that does not include immigrant literature results in an incomplete vision of literature created in Europe. As immigrant writers have sought to find a place for themselves and their ...
Surfactant and Metal Ion Effects on the Mechanical Properties of Alginate Hydrogels
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016)
This paper addresses the controlled variation of the mechanical properties of alginate gel beads by changing the alginate concentration or by adding different surfactants or cross-linking cations. Alginate beads containing ...
An intelligent approach to supplier evaluation in automotive sector
(Springer, 2016)
During the process of supplier evaluation selecting the best desirable supplier is one of the most critical problems of companies since improperly selected suppliers may cause losing time cost and market share of a company. ...
The Electrochromic Performances of Single Phase VO2 Nanoparticled Films
(Elsevier Science SA, 2016)
In the present work pure phase vanadium oxide VO2 nanoparticled films were synthesized using acetate based sol-gel precursors. The effect of the water: Vanadyl acetylacetonate ratio on electrochemical and structural ...
Performance Analysis of Maximal Ratio Transmission with Relay Selection in Two-way Relay Networks Over Nakagami-m Fading Channels
(Springer, 2016)
In this paper we investigate the performance of an amplify-and-forward multi-input multi-output two way relay network where two sources are equipped with multiple antennas employing maximal ratio transmission and the ...
Weight Exchange in Distributed Learning
(IEEE, 2016)
Neural networks may allow different organisations to extract knowledge from the data they collect about a similar problem domain. Moreover learning algorithms usually benefit from being able to use more training instances. ...
Data Detection Based Iterative Channel Estimation for Coded SM-OFDM Systems
(IEEE, 2016)
The combination of spatial modulation (SM) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) as SM-OFDM is a recently proposed efficient modulation scheme with exploiting the index of transmit antenna to convey information ...
