This two volume set LNCS 9418 and LNCS 9419 constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2015, held in Miami, FL, USA, in November 2015. The 53 full papers, 17 short and 14 special sessions and invited papers, presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 189 submissions. The papers cover the areas of b…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/application-of-jump-diffusion-models-in-insurance-claim-estimationWe investigated if general insurance claims are normal or rare events through systematic, discontinuous or sporadic jumps of the Brownian motion approach and Poisson processes. Using firm quarterly data from March 2010 to December 2018, we hypothesized that claims with high positive …
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/particle-filter-based-approach-for-remaining-useful-life-prediction-of-high-speed-shaft-bearing-in-wThis work involves a novel data-driven procedure using vibration analysis for bearing health prognosis. In this work, we investigate the time-domain features and applying spectral kurtosis features in order to extract the damage indicators which even…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/modelling-of-solar-radiation-for-photovoltaic-applicationsThis chapter explores the different ways in which solar radiation (SR) can be quantified for use in photovoltaic applications. Some solar radiation models that incorporate different combinations of parameters are presented. The parameters mostly used include the clearness index (Kt), the sun…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/multiple-and-single-reaction-monitoring-mass-spectrometry-for-absolute-quantitation-of-proteinsThe use of mass spectrometry (MS) to measure proteins has grown exponentially over the past 25 years. This growth has been primarily driven by the advent of proteomics in which scientists have developed methods to identify and quantitate as many proteins…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/comparison-of-cross-entropy-based-mcdm-approach-for-selection-of-material-in-sugar-industryOne of the major problems faced in engineering is the selection of the material which is most suitable for the product. Material selection from a large number with diverse mechanical, physical and chemical properties and choosing the best material which is th…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/retinopathy-of-prematurity-a-nicu-based-approachRetinopathy of prematurity is a fibrovascular proliferative disorder affecting the peripheral retinal vasculature in premature infants. It is one of the leading causes of preventable childhood blindness across the globe. The world is currently experiencing ROP as third epidemic, where majority of the …
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/nanoparticles-novel-approach-to-mitigate-environmental-pollutantsPollution is one of the biggest challenges of current times. For control of environmental pollutants, degradation of these contaminants is need of times. Degradation of pollutants can be achieved by various physical and chemical or by physicochemical approaches. Since these methods ar…
https://mts.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/origin-of-rubber-elasticityUnder suitable conditions, virtually all rubbery materials exhibit the ability to sustain deformations followed by complete recovery upon removal of the stress. This phenomenon holds significance beyond the narrow confines of the term "rubber elasticity" This elasticity theory is also of great importance in the deformatio…
