ICAAP Implementation in Austria’s Major Banks

While Pillar 1 of the regulatory capital framework Basel II stipulates capital requirements for credit, market and operational risk, Pillar 2 focuses on the economic and internal perspective of banks’ capital adequacy. To ensure capital adequacy, banks are required to have an Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) in place that enables them to identify, measure and aggregate all material risk types and calculate the economic, or internal, capital necessary to cover these risks. In addition to this, banks should actively manage their overall risk profile. The ICAAP is essential to the preservation of financial stability and will be subject to a higher degree of supervisory scrutiny in the near future. Under the principle of proportionality, requirements for the ICAAP are in line with banks’ specific characteristics and business models. As a result, a variety of approaches is in use. This paper provides a summary of the information Austria’s eight largest banks (in terms of systemic importance) have to date published on this subject (e.g. annual reports and specific documents in line with disclosure requirements).
An Advanced Heuristic for Multiple‐Option Spare Parts Procurement after End‐of‐Production

After-sales service is a major profit generator for more and more OEMs in industries with durable products. Successful engagement in after-sales service improves customer loyalty and allows for competitive differentiation through superior service like an extended service period after end of production during which customers are guaranteed to be provided with service parts. In order to fulfill the service guarantee in these cases, an effective and efficient spare parts management has to be implemented, which is challenging due to the high uncertainty concerning spare parts demand over such a long time horizon. The traditional way of spare parts acquisition for the service phase is to set up a huge final lot at the end of regular production of the parent product which is sufficient to fulfill demand up to the end of the service time. This strategy results in extremely high inventory levels over a long period and generates major holding costs and a high level of obsolescence risk. With increasing service time more flexible options for spare parts procurement after end of production gain more and more importance. In our paper we focus on the two most relevant ones, namely extra production and remanufacturing. Managing all three options leads to a complicated stochastic dynamic decision problem. For that problem type, however, a quite simple combined decision rule with order-up-to levels for extra production and remanufacturing turns out to be very effective. We propose a heuristic procedure for parameter determination which accounts for the main stochastic and dynamic interactions between the different order-up-to levels, but still consists of quite simple calculations so that it can be applied to problem instances of arbitrary size. In a numerical study we show that this heuristic performs extremely well under a wide range of conditions so that it can be strongly recommended as a decision support tool for the multi-option spare parts procurement problem.
Stochastic Comparisons and Dynamic Information of Random Lifetimes in a Replacement Model

We consider a suitable replacement model for random lifetimes, in which at a fixed time an item is replaced by another one having the same age but different lifetime distribution. We focus first on stochastic comparisons between the involved random lifetimes, in order to assess conditions leading to an improvement of the system. Attention is also given to the relative ratio of improvement, which is proposed as a suitable index finalized to measure the goodness of the replacement procedure. Finally, we provide various results on the dynamic differential entropy of the lifetime of the improved system.
Changes of physiological tremor following maximum intensity exercise in male and female young swimmers

Purpose. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in postural physiological tremor following maximum intensity effort performed on arm ergometer by young male and female swimmers. Methods. Ten female and nine male young swimmers served as subjects in the study. Forearm tremor was measured accelerometrically in the sitting position before the 30-second Wingate Anaerobic Test on arm ergometer and then 5, 15 and 30 minutes post-test. Results. Low-frequency tremor log-amplitude (L1–5) increased (repeated factor: p < 0.05) from –7.92 ± 0.45 to –7.44 ± 0.45 and from –6.81 ± 0.52 to –6.35 ± 0.58 in women and men, respectively (gender: p < 0.05) 5 minute post-test. Tremor log-amplitude (L15–20) increased (repeated factor: p < 0.001) from –9.26 ± 0.70 to –8.59 ± 0.61 and from –8.79 ± 0.65 to –8.39 ± 0.79 in women and men, respectively 5 minute post-test. No effect of gender was found for high frequency range.The increased tremor amplitude was observed even 30 minute post-exercise. Mean frequency of tremor spectra gradually decreased post-exercises (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Exercise-induced changes in tremor were similar in males and females. A fatigue produced a decrement in the mean frequency of tremor what suggested decreased muscle stiffness post-exercise. Such changes intremorafter exercisemay be used as the indicatorof fatigue in the nervous system.
BRIDGE LIFE-CYCLE COST ANALYSIS USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Life-Cycle Cost analysis can significantly assist in making investment decisions. Several recent studies have recognized the potential benefits of Life-Cycle Cost analysis and call for use of such analyses when making infrastructure investments, including investments in bridges. The Life-Cycle Cost of a bridge consists of the total investment throughout the life of the bridge. This includes the initial construction cost, repair and rehabilitation costs, and all maintenance costs. The ability to accurately determine the Life-Cycle Cost of a bridge will help agencies evaluate the asset value of existing bridges, make better decisions on the design and construction of new ones, and choose improved methods and approaches for rehabilitating existing structures. Research has shown that timely maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation can lower the Life-Cycle Cost of a bridge. However, this is a complex and nonlinear problem, and previous studies have failed to develop a satisfactory model. One effective technique for solving nonlinear problems with complicated functions is an Artificial Neural Network. A neural network is a powerful data-modeling tool that captures and represents complex input/output relationships. Using a set of input and output data belonging to a particular problem, a neural system can be trained to predict outcomes for new versions of the same problem. Accordingly, an extensive set of data (bridge dimensions, age, initial cost, and Life-Cycle Cost) for 14 Chicago bridges was used to quantify the degree of success that could be achieved with this model. Sixty percent of the data was used as input to train the model and the remaining forty percent was used to assess the success of the model for predicting the Life-Cycle Cost. The results achieved were encouraging and suggest that the neural network model is a promising tool for predicting the LifeCycle Cost of a bridge.
Sr/Ca ratios and oxygen isotopes from sclerosponges: Temperature history of the Caribbean mixed layer and thermocline during the Little Ice Age

We investigate aragonitic skeletons of the Caribbean sclerosponge Ceratoporella nicholsoni from Jamaica, 20 m below sea level (mbsl), and Pedro Bank, 125 mbsl. We use d18O and Sr/Ca ratios as temperature proxies to reconstruct the Caribbean mixed layer and thermocline temperature history since 1400 A.D. with a decadal time resolution. Our age models are based on U/Th dating and locating of the radiocarbon bomb spike. The modern temperature difference between the two sites is used to tentatively calibrate the C. nicholsoni Sr/Ca thermometer. The resulting calibration points to a temperature sensitivity of Sr/Ca in C. nicholsoni aragonite of about -0.1 mmol/mol/K. Our Sr/Ca records reveal a pronounced warming from the early 19th to the late 20th century, both at 20 and 125 mbsl. Two temperature minima in the shallow water record during the late 17th and early 19th century correspond to the Maunder and Dalton sunspot minima, respectively. Another major cooling occurred in the late 16th century and is not correlatable with a sunspot minimum. The temperature contrast between the two sites decreased from the 14th century to a minimum in the late 17th century and subsequently increased to modern values in the early 19th century. This is interpreted as a long-term deepening and subsequent shoaling of the Caribbean thermocline. The major trends of the Sr/Ca records are reproduced in both specimens but hardly reflected in the d18O records.
Earthworms in Short-term Contact with a Low Dose of Neonicotinoid Actara 25WG

A laboratory experiment, carried out for five months, was designed to assess the effects produced by the neonicotinoid Actara 25 WG, used at a dose recommended by the manufacturer, in the dynamics of the populations of epigeic Eisenia fetida (Sav.) and Dendrobena veneta (Rosa)earthworms. The study was conducted in a climatic chamber and involved balanced biomass of mature specimens representing both species, in 3 replications of soil medium with the insecticide, in addition to controls. The growing populations were inspected five times, by means of manual segregation of the substrate. The insecticide led to an increase in both the number of specimens and the biomass of E. fetida population (overall, as well as mature and immature worms), yet it reduced their reproduction (decreased the number of cocoons) (p<0.05). In the case of D.veneta, the neonicotinoid insecticide produced positive effects only in the mature specimens (p<0.05).
Component versus tradicional models to forecast quarterly national account aggregates:: a Monte Carlo experiment

Econometric models applied to observed data, specified and estimated using traditional Box-Jenkins techniques, have been widely used to forecast Quarterly National Account (QNA) aggregates. We assess the extent to which an alternative forecasting procedure, based on component models, improves the forecasting accuracy of traditional methods. Component models distinguish between the stochastic processes underlying the low- and the high-frequency component of time series, while traditional methods do not. Relationships between QNA aggregates and their coincident indicators are often significantly different for diverse frequencies, as suggested by even an informal examination of empirical evidence. Under these circumstances, a Monte Carlo out-of-sample experiment reveals that component models improve the forecasting accuracy of traditional methods to predict QNA aggregates when their coincident indicators play an important role in such predictions. Otherwise, specially when dealing with pure univariate specifications, traditional procedures likely beat component methods. We illustrate these findings with several applications for the Spanish economy.
Concentration Probe Measurements in a Mach 4 Nonreacting Hydrogen Jet

A new probe technique is introduced for the measurement of concentration in binary gas flows. The new technique is demonstrated through application of the probe in a Mach 4 nonreacting jet of hydrogen injected into a nominally quiescent air environment. Previous concentration probe devices have mostly used hot wires or hot films within an aspirating probe tip. However, the new technique relies on Pitot pressure and stagnation point transient thin film heat flux probe measurements. The transient thin film heat flux probes are operated at a number of different temperatures and thereby provide stagnation temperature and heat transfer coefficient measurements with an uncertainty of around ±5K and ±4% respectively. When the heat transfer coefficient measurements are combined with the Pitot pressure measurements, it is demonstrated that the concentration of hydrogen within the mixing jet can be deduced. The estimated uncertainty of the reported concentration measurements is approximately ±5% on a mass fraction basis.
Patient perspectives on health in chronic illness

Introductions: Medical students need to understand patients’ perspectives about illness and its impact on their lives and family, to evolve as truly socially accountable physicians. Methods: Medical students were assigned in pairs to regularly visit a chronically sick patient over 6 months. They completed a portfolio exploring patient attitudes towards their illness, medication, concerns and beliefs. Themes were coded and portfolios were reviewed independently by two tutors and four students extracting data that matched the themes. New themes were added during the review. Data was later compiled and discussed by the team to refine key themes and portfolios were again reviewed to check for frequency. Results: Fifty-eight students interviewed twenty-nine patients with a variety of chronic conditions. Areas identified included the important role of family and community. A major concern of 18/29 (62%) patients was the impact on the family emotionally, socially and financially of their illness. Other concerns were loneliness (5/29), uncertainty about the illness and deteriorating function. Spiritual issues were important, together with prayer. Some patients (7/29) viewed their illness as a punishment or curse and wanted to die. Other patients believed their illness was due to diet, physical or emotional stress, contagion or exposure to environmental factors. Two believed the oxygen for their COPD was addictive, so restricted its use. Conclusions: As part of providing patient-centered care in the context of Nepal it is important to explore the level of family and community support available to the patient as well as the current impact on the family.
Towards Sustainable Mitigation of Environmental Degradation in Nigeria

Our world is naturally blessed with dynamic resources such as vegetation, waters, air and soils. In the natural settings; vegetation change, rivers are polluted, sea levels rise, soil erodes and climate changes and yet human activities are on the increase and potentially more potent and dynamic activities on top of these already dynamic natural processes are surging up. Humankind has dramatically transformed much of nature and its natural environment through a process which is not new because it has been on for millennia. One significant dilemma is that transformation of nature has accelerated sharply over the last two centuries, and especially in the last several decades. Today, the natural environment is being progressively destroyed, bulldozed, and felled by saws or handheld axes, until only small remnants of its original extent survives. To substantiate this, by mid-1970s (after the drought that caused starvation in West Africa), humans had drastically increased the rate at which world’s forest cover is destroyed and over the last century development has claimed almost all fringes of major towns. If we have observed one thing common between human interaction and dynamic resources, it is that our inability to sustainably and effectively manage those resources is often quite clear. Efforts to stop further deterioration are never late because as Myers pointed out, “we still have half of all tropical forests that ever existed” (Myers, 1992). Although this paper is theoretically sounded, its aim is to review some salient issues on environmental degradation in Nigeria which mostly hinders the development of sustainable mitigation and provide options to alleviate the escalating rate of degradation. Success in fighting environmental degradation requires an improved understanding of its causes, impact, degree, methods and acquaintance with climate, soil, water, land cover and socio-economic factors. Considering this all, it is recommended that hybrid options combining indigenous and current externally developed approaches (which are mostly incompatible with the environment and cultures of Nigeria) should be produced and utilised to combat degradation in the country. Key words: environmental degradation, mitigation options, resources, Nigeria

Although most existing sharpness measures used pixel intensity to compute the blur degree, the proposed sharpness measure computes the sharpness using frequency coefficients. To assess the perceived sharpness of a given image, the image is re-blurred by a Gaussian low pass filter and a new quality measure function was defined using the frequency domain coefficients of the given image and the re-blurred image. To evaluate the proposed algorithms, TID2008 quality assessment database was used. Experimental results show that the proposed quality assessment method showed high correlation with the subjective scores.Keyword : no-reference, image quality assessment, sharpness measure, frequency domain.
The Importance of Scale in Using Hierarchical Census Data to Identify the Wildland-Urban Interface

Census data in combination with GIS are increasingly being used to analyze urban expansion and develop models for identifying landscape change in the urban fringe. Census data are aggregated along the large-to-small-unit gradient of county, tract, census block group (CBG), and census block. The multiple scale availability often confounds the selection of an appropriate level of data in research pertinent to using census data. This study addressed the modifiable areal unit problem of census data through comparing spatial pattern and area of wildland-urban interface (WUI) determined at different levels of census aggregation (county, census tract, CBG, and census block). Total WUI area in each single year decreased along the shrinking census unit gradient from county to census block. Area converted from wildland to WUI between 1990 and 2000 decreased along the census gradient of the tract, 013, census block, county level. The number of WUI patches decreased, and area of WUI patches increased along the decreasing census gradient of county, tract, CBG, block. In contrast to 60% of WUI blocks falling inside WUI CBGs or tracts, more than 80% of WUI tracts fell inside WUI counties, and 76.8% of Will CBGs fell inside WUI tracts. WUI at the block level showed a different spatial pattern from those at the tract and CBG levels in that it represented more spatial detail. County-level data tended to overestimate Will area while underestimating area converted to Will. The study concluded that coarse sale data, such as those at the county level, were suitable for detecting a regional pattern. Fine-scale data, such as those at the census block level, need to be used in addressing issues at a landscape pattern.
Genetic programming approach to predict mode-I overload-induced fatigue life of aluminum alloys

Prediction of fatigue crack propagation life is important to schedule inspection intervals based on which precautions can be made to either stop/slow down crack growth. Till date, several computational techniques have been used to determine the fatigue life in order to avoid costly and time consuming fatigue tests. In this work genetic programming (GP) approach has been applied to predict the mode-I overload induced fatigue crack propagation life of 7020 and 2024 Alalloys. It is observed that the GP model gives quite reasonable result in comparison to artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS).
