We study a discrete-time interaction risk model with delayed claims within the framework of the compound binomial model. Using the technique of generating functions, we derive both a recursive formula and a defective renewal equation for the expected discounted penalty function. As applications,...

In this paper, we study a stationary ARCH(q) model with parameters x(0),x(1), x(2), . . ., x(q). It is known that the model requires all parameters to be non-negative, but sometimes the usual algorithm based on Newton-Raphson's method leads us to obtain some negative solutions. So this study...

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are the prime candidates for solar energy conversion technologies owing to their superior photoelectric performance and low-temperature processibility. The electron transport layer (ETL) is one of the most important compositions for...

Graphene has great potential in aerospace applications but is inevitably influenced by the high-speed atomic oxygen (AO) impact on low earth orbit. So far, the understanding of the impact interaction between AO and graphene as well as the protection mechanisms in the literature are still...

This paper investigates optimal decisions for private banking development in China under two innovative organizational structures-the big retail mode (BRM) and the independent development mode (IDM). Under the BRM, the retail and private banking divisions form a cooperative relationship wherein...

Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) production from excess sludge have recently received great research interest due to higher energy densities, easy-separation capability, high economic benefits. Compared with 0.20g/L of controls, caproate production from pretreated sludge fermentation reached...

Organic phase-change materials (PCMs) suffer from problems such as easy leakage from the matrix and low thermal conductivity in the molten state. Encapsulating PCMs in the form of microcapsules is an effective method of addressing these issues. In this study, modified phase-change microcapsules...
