Benchmarking: Comparing Discounted Business Rates Among Lodging Companies, Carl A. Boger, Liping A. Cai, Li-Chun Lin Dec 1999

Benchmarking: Comparing Discounted Business Rates Among Lodging Companies, Carl A. Boger, Liping A. Cai, Li-Chun Lin

Department of Hospitality and Tourism Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Yield management systems focus on the appropriate amount and depth of rate categories to maximize revenue for lodging properties. However, it is the interaction between reservationists and consumers that determines the room price. This study identified and compared different levels of discounting among various lodging companies. The findings should assist managers in benchmarking the current discounting practices in lodging companies.

Using Webhla To Integrate Hpc Fms Modules With Web/Commodity Based Distributed Object Technologies Of Corba, Java, Com And Xml, Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski, Ganesh Krishnamurthy, Hasan T. Ozdemir, Zeynep Odcikin-Ozdemir, Tom A. Pulikal, Krishnan Rangarajan, Ankur Sood Jan 1999

Using Webhla To Integrate Hpc Fms Modules With Web/Commodity Based Distributed Object Technologies Of Corba, Java, Com And Xml, Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski, Ganesh Krishnamurthy, Hasan T. Ozdemir, Zeynep Odcikin-Ozdemir, Tom A. Pulikal, Krishnan Rangarajan, Ankur Sood

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

HLA standards for interoperability between various DoD Modeling and Simulation paradigms are being enforced in parallel with the rapid onset of new Object Web / Commodity standards for distributed objects and componentware, emergent at the crossroads of CORBA, COM, Java, and XML technologies. WebHLA explores synergies between and integrates both trends by offering Object Web based implementation of the HLA framework. Our goal is to deliver a uniform platform that facilitates conversion of legacy codes to and development of new codes in compliance with HLA, HPC and Object Web standards. We outline here the overall design of WebHLA, we summarize …


Webhla - An Interactive Multiplayer Environment For High Performance Distributed Modeling And Simulation, Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski, Subhash Nair, Hasan T. Ozdemir, Zeynep Odcikin-Ozdemir, Tom A. Pulikal Jan 1999

Webhla - An Interactive Multiplayer Environment For High Performance Distributed Modeling And Simulation, Geoffrey C. Fox, Wojtek Furmanski, Subhash Nair, Hasan T. Ozdemir, Zeynep Odcikin-Ozdemir, Tom A. Pulikal

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

The process of integrating DoD Modeling and Simulation paradigms around the new HLA/RTI standards proceeds in parallel with the onset of new Object Web standards for distributed objects and componentware, emergent at the crossroads of CORBA, DCOM, Java, and XML based distributed object technologies. We describe here our WebHLA approach which integrates both trends by offering Object Web based implementation of the HLA framework. WebHLA follows a three-tier architecture including: a) Web / Commodity based interactive simulation authoring and runtime front-ends given by Java applets or DirectX multiplayers; b) software bus in the middleware, given by Object Web RTI i.e. …

Evaluation Of The Potential Economic Impacts Of 40 Cfr 197: Environmental Radiation Standards For Yucca Mountain, Nevada, United States Environmental Protection Agency Jan 1999

Evaluation Of The Potential Economic Impacts Of 40 Cfr 197: Environmental Radiation Standards For Yucca Mountain, Nevada, United States Environmental Protection Agency

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pursuant to section 801 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EnPA), is proposing a rule which contains standards for the protection of the public from releases of radioactive materials stored or disposed of in the repository at the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada. This report, as required by Executive Order 12866, provides an assessment of the economic impacts of the proposed rule. As the Agency is hindered by the unavailability of necessary information to perform a rigorous quantitative economic assessment, this report provides background to the standards being proposed, a …


Recognizing Actuarial Assumptions, Victoria Stachowski, Alice Underwood Jan 1999

Recognizing Actuarial Assumptions, Victoria Stachowski, Alice Underwood

Journal of Actuarial Practice (1993-2006)

As assumptions underlie every aspect of actuarial calculations, actuaries must be aware of the assumptions they are using and understand their importance and the possible effects of changing assumptions on the results of their calculations. This paper explores the nature of assumptions in: (i) mathematical models, (ii) data selection, (iii) actuarial methods, and (iv) the business environment. We examine reasons for making assumptions such as convenience, tradition, indications in the data, or lack of data. In addition, we discuss (i) how actuaries can judge whether these reasons are sufficient; (ii) methods that can help actuaries quantify the impact of their …


A Case Study Of Bioengineering In America: Profits, Risks And Standards Of Value In The Commercialization Of Monsanto Company's Newleaf Potato, Bridget Lyons, Teresa Ralabate, Nadhim Frangul Jan 1999

A Case Study Of Bioengineering In America: Profits, Risks And Standards Of Value In The Commercialization Of Monsanto Company's Newleaf Potato, Bridget Lyons, Teresa Ralabate, Nadhim Frangul

WCBT Faculty Publications

Last year, approximately 45 million acres of American farmland were planted with crops that had been genetically engineered to either produce their own pesticides, or withstand herbicides. The long and short-term effects of this biotechnology on humans and the environment, are being studied, but remain unknown. Leading the way in the field of bioengineered crops is the Missouri-based Monsanto Company. Monsanto believes that current agricultural practices are inconsistent with sustainable development. The NewLeaf potato is one of three products Monsanto has created to feed the growing world population. The genetically engineered crop produces, in every cell of the plant, a …
