are performed to identify if vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorus are low, this will indicate osteomalacia or other diseases present. Other blood tests that can be drawn are alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes and parathyroid hormone, if levels come back high, the test is positive for vitamin D deficiency/osteomalcia. ("Health line," 2016, expression part 4 of 7) X-rays and imaging can also be affective allow Looser zones to be identified all through the body. If all else fails the last test to be…

Osteoarthritis is a disease of joints that means they do not move as smoothly as they should be, due to the thinning of the cartilage [1]. This disease mostly affects people over the age of 65, and it is estimated that 2.46 million people suffer from osteoarthritis in England alone, just of the hip joint. Osteoarthritis causes a lot of pain to the patient and a loss of mobility due to the damaged joint. It has been found that joint replacement offers significant pain relief and improvement in…

Quantitative risk analysis is the one which follows the Qualitative analysis, and gives a numerical priority rating to project risks (PMI, 2009). Based on the PMBOK (PMI, 2013) quantitative risk analysis “… is the process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives (p. 333).” This is also a process for the PM and project team to get risk data to support making decisions, which can help to reduce project uncertainties (PMI, 2013, p. 333). Based on the…

Li (2000) introduced copula function approach in the aspect of evaluating credit derivatives, the copula function has gradually become the main approach in pricing CDO (Burtschell & George, 2005). In Li (2000) paper, a new random variable named ‘time-until-default’ was created to demonstrate survival time of each defaultable entity. And the copula function approach is based on this random variable to evaluate the default probability of financial instruments. Specifically, copula function specify…

are at (0.20,2.20), (0.80,1.78), (0.70,1.35), (0.50,0.93), and (0.30,0.50) m. The sampling time in all simulations is chosen to be 1 s and the simulation is conducted for 180 s. A moving target inside the workspace characterizes time-varying risk density with The RL agents’ initial estimated states (2D positions in this case) are distributed randomly such that mean positions, e[0] = 〖(e_1 [0],…,e_5 [0])〗^T∈R^10 are at (0.20,2.20), (0.80,1.78), (0.70,1.35), (0.50,0.93), and (0.30,0.50) km. There…

------------------------------------------------- The local operations manager for the IRS must decide whether to hire 1, 2, or 3 temporary workers. He estimates that net revenues will vary with how well taxpayers comply with the new tax code. The probabilities of low, medium, and high compliance are 0.20, 0.40, and 0.40 respectively. What is the expected value of perfect information? Do not include the dollar “$” sign with your answer. 5. -------------------------------------------------…

In our every day lives we are faced with risk; the possibility of losing something of value. This could include theft or re to property, sickness, disability or even death. As loss adverse as we are, we tend to set up mediums to prevent or recover from losses once incurred. One of these common mediums is insurance. Anderson and Brown (2005) denes insurance as an agreement where, for a stipulated payment called the premium, one party (the insurer) agrees to pay to the other (the policyholder or…

The lottery is played all around the world. More than two-thirds of the citizens of the state. Anny three digit number can be placed from 000 to 999. After than the randomly draw a number. A number is drawn at random and announced by the state. The winner gets a prize. The probability that the correct 3 digits in the right order is selected is at an odds of 1 in 1,000. So if If a ticket costs two dollars and the winner must pick a sequence of five digits then if There are 10^5=100,000 different…

ISE SUMMER PROJECT 2015 Probability, randomness, and chance should be central in any STEM pedagogical model. The concepts of randomness and chance play a very significant role in the essence of all sciences, and especially in the empirical sciences. Randomness is a critical component of biological modeling at many levels in a wide range of systems. The fundamental axioms of the quantum paradigm in physics are, by definition, essentially stochastic. Economics uses the randomness in human thought…
