The engineering component of the Florida Public Hurricane Loss Model predicts wind and rain damage to a variety of modelled building configurations in an effort to model hurricane losses. The program uses a Monte Carlo approach to probabilistically simulating damage to the exterior components of the models, but currently assigns costs to the damaged components deterministically. This implementation does not capture variations in component costs and building values. This paper investigates replacing

DataStor Case Study | | Team 1 | Case Study for DataStor Background DataStor, a data storage device and media manufacturer, produces a compact hard drive called DS1000, which stores 1GB of data. Their primary customer is Four-D, a national reseller of the drives. Four-D has rejected four shipments of drives from DataStor in the past 20 days. DataStor wants to understand why their shipments are being rejected. DataStor operates three 8-hour shifts, five days a week. Each shift

Orion Controls Case Answer 1 I would say we should sell existing valves than develop an improved model and sell it at increased price if you simply look at the decision tree I made based on the assumption and information the case provides. The Expected Monetary Value (EMV) of building new model is $105,500, whereas we can earn $100,000 payoffs by selling current model (see Figure 1). When considering the situation the Orion Controls faces, however, I should reconsider my decision. Orion

Hello Dr Buxbaum, Below is my weekly update for this week from 25th July '16 to 27th July '16. 1) FMR1 5-choice training: - At the start of 5th week of training the Fmr1 rats, we have one rat that started its baseline training, which is testing its behavior on the set criterion for 5 days, following which the rat will be subjected to challenge training schedules to test their reaction to stressors and distractors. Currently, the rats performance is up to the mark; accuracy more than 80% and omissions

nteractions between Natural Selection and Random Drift: Some biologists such as Gillespie (1998) and Roughgarden (1979) often say that evolution is the outcome of the interaction of what they call evolutionary “forces” such as natural selection, migration, random drift, muatation, and mating preferences. Sober (1984b) argued for a realist interpretation of such talk, claiming that it describes factors which casually influence evolution. Just recently, some authors have attacked this realist interpretation

Sacagawea was a famous guide and translator that helped Lewis and Clark on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Sacagawea was not only a famous guide but she did a lot of things that no one can do. She found her sibling during her journeys, she walked thousands of miles while pregnant

Although tremendous progress has been made in past decade to detect the unattended objects especially in public places namely railway stations, shopping malls etc but still fails to meet the desired requirement. An automated mechanism with robust approach for detecting objects left unattended in consumer world resulted in successful commercialization. The successful detection of object detection mainly relies on object extraction and objects classification and based on this approaches a novel algorithm

will be 25% of Project A. In economic states when A’s returns are relatively low, those of B are relatively high, and vice versa, so the gains on one investment in the portfolio more than offset losses on the other. The movement relationship of two variables is called correlation. Investments A and B can be combined to form a riskless portfolio because the returns on A and B are perfectly negatively correlated,

Risk Management: Case Analysis Submission (Forward Software) 1. Introduction and problem statement Focus software with its Focus A-B-C is the current market leader in the spreadsheet market. Focus Software, being the first mover with its intuitive menu system with functionality like macros had the largest market share with only one flaw, of printing graphs. Discount Software, with its VIP Scheduler had the same menu system to ease the user in making the transition to its software whereas Cinco

The problem of providing coverage using a group of mobile agents is investigated, where it is desired to minimize the overall coverage metric (service cost) while achieving maximum coverage with minimum actuator energy required by each agent. In addition, a distributed multi-agent area coverage control (MAACC) law is then provided which guarantees the convergence of agents to the optimal configuration with respect to the cost (coverage metric) function. A common assumption in all of the coverage
