Traditional methods of investment appraisal, like the Net Present Value, are not able to include the value of the operational flexibility of the project.In this paper, real options, and more specifically the option to expand, are assumed to be included in the project information in addition to the expected cash flows.Thus, to calculate the total va
Slope failures lead to catastrophic consequences in numerous countries and thus the stability assessment for slopes is of high interest in geotechnical and geological engineering researches.A hybrid stacking ensemble approach is proposed in this study for enhancing the prediction of slope elbeco adu ripstop pants stability.In the hybrid stacking en
Aging is associated with various hematological disorders and a higher risk of myeloproliferative disorders.An aged hematopoietic system can be characterized by decreased immune function and increased myeloid cell production.Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) regulate the production of blood cells throughout life.The self-renewal and regenerative poten
BACKGROUND: The surgical treatment of patients with intractable epilepsy is preceded by a pre-surgical evaluation period during which intracranial EEG recordings are performed to identify the epileptogenic network and provide a functional map of eloquent cerebral areas that need to be spared to minimize the risk of post-operative deficits.A growing
Dehydration of concrete floor slabs is a critical step to ensure that the flooring material adheres properly and that there is no moisture-related damage to the floor after installation.Dehydration in a cold climate is often a slow process, which can have a big impact on the overall duration of the construction project, and corresponding measures a
