This chapter provides an assessment of the impact of the major political and institutional factors on establishing new businesses in the State of Qatar in the long run using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. ...

Many developing countries commonly use tax incentives as a key instrument for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). Empirical studies have identified a causal relationship between FDI and a number of determinants ...

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to be a global health concern. The mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine was reported to have an efficacy of 94.1% at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 due to infection with ‘wild-type’ variants in a ...

In this article, we propose two goodness-of-fit test statistics for the Burr Type X distribution when the available data are subject to progressively Type-II censoring. The proposed test statistics are based on the sample ...

One-sided control charts for monitoring changes in the mean level are proposed in this paper. The proposed charts are given in the form of a homogeneously weighted moving average technique that provides efficient monitoring ...

In this work, we consider the time-fractional version of the well-known integrable Ito system to study the effect of its fractional index "memory index". A modified approach of a relatively new method called residual power ...

We consider confidence intervals for the stress-strength reliability Pr(X< Y) in the two-parameter exponential distribution. We have derived the Bayesian highest posterior density interval using non-informative prior ...

We study the nonexistence of global solutions to the Cauchy problem for systems of parabolic-hyperbolic or hyperbolic thermo-elasticity equations posed in RN. For power nonlinearities, we present threshold critical exponents ...

Most of the studies conducted on solar energy assessment and solar system siting focus on flat terrains that are usually difficult and expensive to acquire in urban areas. This paper investigates the possibility of using ...

With an increasing incidence of psychiatric disorders worldwide, there is a need for a better understanding of the population-specific contributing risk factors that are associated with common psychiatric conditions. This ...
