A theoretical model describing coupled neutronic-thermohydraulic power oscillations in natural
circulation boiling water reactors (BWRs) is developed. The governing equations for the …

A parametric study of coupled neutronic-thermohydraulic stability of natural circulation
boiling water reactors (BWRs) is performed. As an example, the stability characteristics of the …

We investigate the impact of the upcoming Solvency II guidelines on the risk/return trade-off
for life insurance companies. Using the Dutch (FTK) regulatory framework (Financieel …

Due to the rapid growth of electronic environments (such as the Internet) much research is

We describe a system for bilateral negotiations in which artificial agents aregenerated by an
evolutionary algorithm (EA). The negotiations are governed bya finite-horizon version of the …

Liability-driven investing (LDI) has recently emerged as a powerful paradigm in financial risk
management. The basic idea behind LDI is to split the company's balance sheet into two …

Despite the importance of residential real estate as both an asset class for investors and as
a source of" housing services" for individual home owners, as well as the relatively high …

We consider a Heston type inflation model in combination with a Hull–White model for nominal
and real interest rates, in which all the correlations can be non-zero. Due to the presence …

Many economic and social systems are essentially large multi-agent systems.By means of
computational modeling, the complicated behavior of such systemscan be investigated. …
