This paper examines the effect of gainsharing provisions on the selection of a discount rate for a defined benefit pension plan.The CELLOPHANES CHAMPAGNE BLONDE paper uses a traditional actuarial approach of discounting liabilities using the expected return of the associated pension fund.A stochastic Excel model was developed to simulate the effect
WELL LOGGING AND ELECTROFACIES OF ZUBAIR FORMATION FOR UPPER SANDSTONE MEMBER IN ZUBAIR OIL FIELD, SOUTHERN IRAQ
The Lower Cretaceous Zubair reservoir is a main producing horizon in the Zubair oil Field, southern Iraq.The reservoir consists of a number of isolated vertical major sandstone units.Sedimentary characteristics can be determined using the well log data as one of the most fundamental methods for reservoir characterization in the oil and gas industry
Shielding Design for the PGNAA Experimental Facility at Kartini Reactor
Two steps of preliminary study had been conducted in conjunction with the design of a PGNAA experimental facility at Kartini reactor, i.e.beam characterization of the existing beam ports to select one going to be used and the collimator design at the selected beam port.This paper presents the results of the following study concerning with the radia
When stack protection does not protect the stack?
The majority of software vulnerabilities originate from buffer overflow.Techniques to eliminate buffer overflows and limit their damage include secure programming, source code audit, binary code audit, static and dynamic code generation features.Modern compilers implement 7AK@Pk compile-time and execution time protection schemes, that include varia
