Portfolio Selection Problem Using CVaR Risk Measures Equipped with DEA, PSO, and ICA Algorithms by Hamdi, Abdelouahed

“…Therefore, in this study we examined this market based on the price index of the automotive group, then optimized a portfolio of automotive companies using two methods. In the first method, the CVaR measurement was modeled by means of DEA, then Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the Imperial Competitive Algorithm (ICA) were used to solve the proposed model. …”

Maximum Likelihood Estimation in the Inverse Weibull Distribution with Type II Censored Data by Alshaikh, Fatima A.

“…We consider maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters and certain functions of the parameters in the Inverse Weibull (IW) distribution based on type II censored data. The functions under consideration are the Mean Residual Life (MRL), which is very important in reliability studies, and Tail Value at Risk (TVaR), which is an important measure of risk in actuarial studies. …”

Understanding the mechanisms mediating cardio-renal benefit of empagliflozin in type 2 diabetes mellitus by Dimitrios, Patoulias

“…They have demonstrated1 that empagliflozin treatment resulted in a significant decrease in pulse pressure (PP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac workload, compared with placebo; at week 12, placebo-adjusted mean changes from baseline were − 2.5 mmHg for PP, − 2.2 mmHg for MAP and − 315 mmHg x beats per minute (bpm) for cardiac workload (p < 0.0001 for all). …”

The influence of environmental and core temperature on cyclooxygenase and PGE2 in healthy humans by Esh, Christopher J.

“…Random coefficient models determined relationships between Tc and COX/PGE2. Tc [mean (range)] increased in hot [+ 0.8 (0.4–1.2) °C; p < 0.0001; effect size (ES): 2.9], decreased in cold [− 0.5 (− 0.8 to − 0.2) °C; p < 0.0001; ES 2.6] and was unchanged in thermoneutral [+ 0.1 (− 0.2 to 0.4) °C; p = 0.3502]. …”
