Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent to which the size of multilateral banks (MBs) influences their usage of currency derivatives to manage currency risk. It provides an empirical assessment of whether economies of scale and scope found in other studies apply to MBs. Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative hypothesis regarding the relationship of the size of MBs to their usage of currency derivatives was tested using regression, correlation and analysis of variance. Findings – The results show that there is a significant positive relationship between size (as measured by total assets) of MBs and the total principal amounts of currency derivatives used. These results suggest that MBs are enjoying economies of scale and scope in using currency derivatives in managing currency risk. Research limitations/implications – The data used were obtained from annual reports that may not fully provide relevant information that could influence the usage and size of currency derivatives. Future studies may therefore use surveys to obtain data to conduct multivariate regression analysis to provide further insights on other determinants of currency derivatives usage. Originality/value – The study is of value to those interested in multilateral banking. It breaks new ground by using non-survey method for the first time in investigating the relationship between size and currency derivatives used by MBs. The results are also useful for financial institutions selling currency derivative products to MBs in identifying which to target. For managers of small MBs it may be cost effective for them to use internal hedging techniques as economies of scale applies in currency derivative markets. The results of the study are also useful to policy and regulation of MBs.

Abstract:
In this paper we analyze the incentives of derivatives usage and its effect on the risk management and value of firms in Korea. We find that Korean non-financial firms use derivatives not only by the economic incentives to hedge risks but also by the irrational incentives such as the profitability of derivative usage in the previous year. Further results show that the usage of derivatives has a negative effect on the risk management of the firm, which results in the decrease of the firm value. These results show that investors have doubt about the incentives and the effects of derivatives usage in Korea.

Abstract:
The impact of weather on many commercial and recreational activities is significant and varies both geographically and seasonally. Many industries, including agriculture, energy, utility, construction, tourism and other businesses, are either favourably or adversely affected by “bad” weather. For this reason, financial markets have devised a relatively new class of instruments, the so-called “weather derivatives”, the first of which were launched in 1996 in the United States. There is a number of factors behind the growth in the weather derivatives market. One of these is the deregulation of energy markets. Another one is that capital and insurance markets have come closer to each other. A weather derivative is the new­est product of the financial derivatives market. It al­lows a market participant to minimise a risk from daily weather fluctuations, while insurance companies sell insurance against catastrophic events. The main aim of this article is to explore possi­bilities to use weather derivatives for the Lithuanian economy. To reach the aim, the following goals were set: to describe products of weather derivatives and their features and to present the possibilities to use these derivatives in the Lithuanian economy on the basis of an example of temperature derivatives. A hypothesis is made that Lithuanian companies could discover new possibilities for business management through the use of weather derivatives. The methods used in the paper are as follows: comparative analysis, indexes, regression and correla­tion analysis.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of financial derivatives usage and country’s tax environment characteristics on the relationship between financial derivatives and tax avoidance. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a cross-country analysis with the scope of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries which consists of the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Findings The level of financial derivatives usage positively affects the level of tax avoidance. This finding indicates that financial derivatives can be used as tax avoidance tool. Furthermore, the positive effect of the level of financial derivatives usage on the level of tax avoidance is lower in countries with a competitive tax environment than in countries with an uncompetitive tax environment. This finding indicates that in country with a competitive tax environment, the use of financial derivatives as a tax avoidance tool can be replaced by the tax facilities provided by that country. Research limitations/implications This study uses four countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region and does not test the sample based on the financial derivative types. Practical implications Tax authorities need to establish a clear tax regulation in regard to the tax treatment of financial derivatives transactions, e.g. define the definition of financial derivatives for hedging purposes and financial derivatives for speculative purposes; and define specific criteria to separate financial derivatives for hedging purposes from financial derivatives for speculative purposes. It is necessary to determine whether losses arising from derivative transactions are classified as deductible expenses or non-deductible expenses. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is also the first that provide empirical evidence that the relationship between financial derivatives and tax avoidance activities depends on a country’s tax environment.

Abstract:
This study examines derivative practices of Australian and Canadian firms from 2009 to 2013 in a post-global financial crisis environment. Our results show significant differences in the level of derivative usage between both countries, in contrast to earlier hedging studies. We also observe that Canadian firms have a higher propensity to use financial derivatives. We find similarities in derivative usage for firms operating in the industrials, materials, consumer discretionary, and healthcare industries. However, corporate derivative practices seem to be significantly different for energy and IT firms during the sample period.

Abstract:
The article refers to the theoretical framework of the possibility of using real estate derivatives in the Polish financial market. Although the Polish property market is well developed, and Poland is the leader in the Central and Eastern Europe region, there is a gap in the use of financial instruments concerning the property market. Given the lack of a property derivatives market in Poland, conditions and opportunities for this market development are presented. The experience of the United Kingdom and the United States in this field shows that one of the most important aspects is stable and a well-functioning financial market. Therefore, the macroeconomic data and the data of the Polish financial market are examined.The analysis carried out indicates sufficient conditions and opportunities for the development of real estate derivatives in Poland. The macroeconomic data and data from the capital market have shown the economic environment’s stability and balance. One of the limitations is the existence of a clear and respectable index used as an underlying asset in derivatives on the Polish market. Only WIG real estate index is listed on the Polish Exchange. Although there are sufficient conditions for introducing the real estate derivatives in Poland, the success of all financial innovations depends on the willingness of potential users to use them.

Abstract:
Objectives: To check the awareness level of farmers towards crop insurance schemes available so far and their satisfaction level with those schemes. To check the acceptability of farmers towards rainfall derivatives Methods: To achieve the objective of study, we have conducted a survey among the farmers of Gwalior Chambal region in India. The sample size of survey was 470 farmers; we have selected 5 villages per tehsil and 2 farmers per village. We have used cross tabulation to analyse the collected data. Findings: This study shows that only few farmers were aware about the previously launched crop insurance schemes by government and out the farmers who were aware and used the previous schemes were not satisfied with them. This study also shows the positive response by farmers towards rainfall derivative products. The study shows that most of the farmers believed that rainfall derivative can be a very effective tool for hedging the rainfall risk. Novelty: This study is very much helpful to understand the acceptability of rainfall derivatives among the farmers of Gwalior-Chambal region. This study can be used as a recommendation to launch the rainfall derivatives in India.

Abstract:
Core business and financial market risks are not easily reduced by standard operating procedures in insurance companies. Derivatives theoretically provide a cost effective vehicle to hedge these risks. This paper provides an empirical analysis of the determinants of derivative usage as well as the extent of derivative usage in the Australian insurance industry in both life and general insurance companies for the period 1997–1999. Empirical results for the Australian life insurance industry in general confirm the findings of UK and US based research. However, the Australian general insurance industry does not appear to follow the conclusions of previous literature. Our results indicate that for life insurers, the determinants of derivative usage were size, leverage and reinsurance. For the general insurance industry the determinants were size and the extent of long tail lines of business written. As regards the determinants of the extent of derivative usage, these were size and asset-liability duration mismatches for life insurers. For the general insurance industry the determinants of the extent of derivative usage were size, the extent of long tail lines of business written, and the reporting year.

Abstract:

In the absence of market imperfections, risk management cannot create value. There would be no demand for hedging instruments (including derivatives) in the absence of taxes, agency costs, information asymmetry or transaction costs. Financial theory proposes two main sets of explanations for risk management: firstly, risk management is a means to maximize firm value by reducing the costs of financial distress (hedging can allow firms to increase debts capacity and raise funds at lower costs), reducing taxation (reducing earnings volatility and therefore decreasing expected taxes) and reducing the effects of information asymmetry. Secondly, the reasons to hedge can be found by reference to economies of scale: the majority of studies have found a positive correlation between firm size and the use of derivatives, although size is believed to be a constraining factor rather than a determining factor for risk management. It is proposed by Schiozer and Saito (2009) that firms in emerging economies such as Brazil, Argentina (and arguably Egypt), manage risks for different reasons when compared to mature economies such as the US. Emerging economies are often characterized by high volatility of exchange and interest rates. Additionally, there is often a scarcity of domestic funding that leads firms to raise funds on foreign capital markets to finance investment projects. Foreign denominated debt has always proved to produce significant risk exposure for emerging market firms. This research was undertaken to gain insight into the use of derivatives by Egyptian firms. The majority of previous research into derivative usage has focused on developed economies with little similar research into emerging economies and even less research into Middle Eastern economies such as Egypt.

Abstract:
Purpose: Directing and controlling a company to achieve its strategic and tactical goals requires a complex network of relationships with stakeholders which means boards need to have directors with adequate competencies and skills. Do directors of boards have the required level of knowledge and does such knowledge have potential impacts on corporate governance policy? This thesis examines these questions in the context of financial derivatives in the emerging economy of Vietnam to add to the literature on individual directors’ understanding of the use of such controversial instruments. Methodology: This thesis used a mixed methods approach, with a survey of 119 directors followed by qualitative interviews with 19 directors of public corporations in Vietnam using insights from the theory of planned behaviour combined with the model of board roles and attributes, and stakeholder theory. Findings: Directors’ knowledge of financial derivatives is relatively low and strongly affected by their education and working experience. In addition, directors’ knowledge is associated with critical factors that impact their intention to use financial derivatives, which is the direct predictor of their future behaviour in deciding to use the instruments. Such an interaction among knowledge, intention and behaviour is a concern to the directors who were experienced in financial issues; directors worry about threats to corporations when directors lack knowledge while having positive attitudes and high levels of intention. Financially experienced directors suggested appropriate corporate risk management policy and director training as two key solutions to these threats. The interviews also uncovered emerging themes about business culture, the government’s role and the market for financial derivatives which have impacted directors’ knowledge and corporate policies. Research Limitations and Implications: Key limitations include the use of single country and cross-sectional data combined with a relatively small sample size and potential self-reporting bias. The main implications include the need for enhanced collaboration and cooperation among key stakeholders including the government, boards, individual directors and relevant training organisations. The government should lead by setting up a legal and regulatory framework for financial derivatives. Boards should clarify their corporate risk management policy, choose members to ensure the necessary competencies are available and accept continuous training. Individual directors should be aware of and take part in self-learning and training to be suitable for their position. Finally, training organisations should customise their courses for directors to suit directors’ time constraints and their strategic level leadership. Originality: This thesis was the first to investigate individual board director behaviour in Vietnam and to analyse directors’ understanding of financial derivatives and their related decision making in an emerging economy.

Abstract:
In this thesis, we review various popular pricing models in the interest-rate market. Among these pricing models, we choose the LIBOR Market model (LMM) as the benchmark model. Based on market practice experience, we also develop a pricing model named the “Market volatility model”. By pricing vanilla interest-rate options such as interest-rate caps and swaptions, we compare the performance of our Market volatility model to that of the LMM. It is proved that the Market Volatility model produce comparable results to the LMM, while its computing efficiency largely exceeds that of the LMM. Following the recent rapid development in the commodity market, in particular the energy market, we attempt to extend the use of our proposed Market volatility model from the interest-rate market to the energy market. We prove that the Market Volatility model is capable of pricing various energy derivative under the assumption of absence of the convenience yield. In addition, we propose a new type of exotic energy derivative which has a flexible option structure. This energy derivative is named as the Flex-Asian spread options (FASO). We give examples of different option structures within the FASO framework and use the Market volatility model to generate option prices and greeks for each structure. Although the Market volatility model can be used to price various energy derivatives based on oil/gas contracts, it is not compatible with the structure of one of the most advanced derivatives in the energy market, the storage option. We modify the existing pricing model for storage options and use our own 3D-binomial tree approach to price gas storage contracts. By doing these, we improve the performance of the traditional storage model.

Abstract:
Notre démarche repose sur le constat que de plus en plus d’enfants sont en difficulté d’écriture. Elle vise à proposer une base de réflexion sur laquelle pourrait s’appuyer un enseignement structuré de l’écriture. Notre recherche porte sur l’écriture des lettres minuscules cursives manuscrites latines en usage dans les écoles françaises. Nous avons fait l’hypothèse que cette écriture, produit de l’école française, constitue un système dont nous pouvons désigner les éléments et définir le fonctionnement. Cette hypothèse ouvre sur la perspective que la prise en compte de ce système pourrait être une aide à l’apprentissage de l’écriture. Notre choix est conforté par les résultats des neurosciences qui montrent qu’écrire à la main serait une aide à l’apprentissage de la lecture. A partir de l’analyse de commentaires sur la lisibilité d’un corpus d’écritures manuscrites, nous montrerons comment est construit ce système et quelles relations hiérarchiques et fonctionnelles ses éléments entretiennent entre eux. Nous y verrons que le cœur du système s’organiserait en deux unités minimales, déclinées chacune en une forme de base et deux dérivées pour l’une, trois dérivées pour l’autre. Le système constitué par l’ensemble de ces sept formes permettrait d’écrire toutes les lettres minuscules cursives latines en usage en France.En ouverture vers d’autres projets, nous avons mis ce système à l’épreuve de la reconnaissance des lettres par des enfants d’école maternelle. Nous avons constaté une amélioration du score entre avant et après une séance d’observation commentée collective. Cette recherche sur le système d’écriture des lettres minuscules cursives latines nous a conduite à avancer des propositions pédagogiques pour l’enseignement de l’écriture
Our processes are based on the fact that more and more children have difficulties with handwriting. Its aim is to propose a basis for thought on which a structured teaching of handwriting could lean. Our research focuses on Latin handwritten cursive small letters used in French schools. We made the assumption that this writing - a French school product - constitutes a system, the elements of which can be named and the functioning described. This hypothesis leads to the viewpoint that to take this system into account could be a help in the teaching of writing. Our choice is backed up by the results of neurosciences which show that to write with the hand would be a help in learning to read. From the analysis of comments on the legibility of a corpus of handwritings, we shall show how this system is built and what hierarchic and functional relations its elements continuously use with each other. We shall see that the heart of the system would be organized into two minimal units. Each of them set up as a basic form and two derivatives for the one, three for the other. The system constituted by these seven forms would allow all of the Latin cursive small letters used in France to be written. As an opening towards others projects, we submitted this system to the recognition of letters by children at nursery school. We noticed an improvement of the score between before and after a session of collective commented observation of the letters. This research about Latin handwritten cursive small letters brought us to make certain pedagogical proposals for the training of teachers

Derivatives have a long history which could be traced as far as in the biblical times, around 1700 B.C when Jacob was granted the right to marry Laban’s daughter, in counterparty of seven years of work, an agreement often presented as one of the first option contract in the human history. However, the use of derivatives really expanded over the last three decades. According to the Bank of International Settlement (BIS), the outstanding notional amount of the global over-the-counter (OTC) derivative market reached USD 708 trillion in June 2011. Derivative markets have a significant role to play in the development of African financial markets. Indeed, through the mechanisms of price discovery and risk transfer; derivative instruments introduce greater market efficiency and provide market participants the opportunity to hedge their exposure to various financial risks. The development of a derivative strong market in Africa presents a compelling case given the nature of several African economies, predominantly composed of primary commodity producers, open small economies inherently vulnerable to commodity price, foreign exchange volatility, and interest rate risks.

Abstract:
Actuellement, le traitement des pathologies infectieuses chez les bovins et les animaux de compagnie est menacé par l’accroissement de l’antibiorésistance et des bactéries multirésistantes. Il est donc primordial pour les entreprises pharmaceutiques vétérinaires de développer de nouvelles gammes d’agents antibactériens spécifiques au domaine animale. Dans ce contexte, il a été montré que certains polyaminostérols naturels tels que la squalamine possèdent un fort potentiel antimicrobien. Ainsi, l’objectif de ce travail de thèse est de répondre à la problématique présentée par la société Virbac dans le traitement des mammites (bovins) et des otites/pyodermites (chien) par le développement d’une nouvelle classe de dérivés polyaminostéroïdiens synthétiques à large spectre antimicrobien. Pour cela, nous avons constitué une chimiothèque de composés originaux préparés à partir de différents acides biliaires selon des voies de synthèse inédites. Ces composés ont été évalués in vitro pour leur cytotoxicité et leurs activités antibactériennes contre diverses bactéries à Gram positif et à Gram négatif et nous avons pu établir la preuve de concept in vitro de leur potentiel thérapeutique en tant qu’agents antibactériens ou adjuvants d’antibiotiques. De plus, nous avons montré que l’un de ces nouveaux dérivés, la claramine A1, agit sur l’intégrité physique des membranes bactériennes et sur les performances d'efflux des pompes AcrAB-TolC. Ainsi, il apparaît finalement que ces dérivés polyaminostéroïdiens au mode d’action non conventionnel pourraient constituer une nouvelle classe d’agents antibactériens pour un usage en tant que substituts d’antibiotiques en médecine vétérinaire
Currently, the treatment of infectious pathologies in cattle and pets is threatened by the growing antimicrobial resistance and the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Thus it is necessary for the veterinary pharmaceutical firms to develop new lines of antibacterial agents. In this context, some natural polyaminosterols such as squalamine have gained interest due to their potent antimicrobial activities. Thus the aim of this PhD work is to provide an answer in the treatment of mastitis (cattle) and otitis/pyoderma (dog) by the development of a new class of synthetic polyaminosterols with a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. In this purpose, a chemical library of original compounds has been prepared starting from various bile acids by using unprecedented synthesis procedures. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity on CHO cells as well as their antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and we have establish the in vitro proof of concept of the therapeutic potential of this family of molecules as antibacterial agent or antibiotic adjuvant. Additional investigations were then conducted on one of these novel derivatives namely claramine A1 to deepen knowledge of its mechanism of action and showed that claramine A1 acts on the physical integrity of bacterial membranes and the efflux performance of AcrAB-TolC pumps. Based on the results of claramine A1, it finally appears that these new polyaminosterol derivatives possessing a non-classical mode of action pertain to a new class of antibacterial agents and could constitute a substitute for traditional antibiotics in veterinary medicine

Abstract:
The examination of the topic of market risk management in Islamic finance is a complex endeavour. At a basic level, the subject matter, being multifarious in a manner that mixes religion and economics, requires the conjoining of religious faith with scientific objectivity in order to ascertain the truth contained in the scripture as it pertains to the Mua’amalat (dealings between individuals) matter of entering into financial contracts with others to manage market risk exposures. Moreover, the complexity is compounded due to the need to disentangle the ambiguity that has beset the discourse on the topic due to historically being mostly legal-centric with a focus on debating the contractual elements rather than attempting to comprehensively address the myriad issues that relate to market risk management in contemporary contexts. These issues, for the most part, revolve around the reliance on market risk transfer as a strategy and derivative contracts, with monetary underlying variables, as tools to implement that strategy. Thus, the journey of investigating the rationale, permissibility, and usage of derivative hedging instruments for market risk management in Islamic finance is, essentially, an undertaking that seeks to engage in a wide-ranging and multi-layered examination of the subject matter as well as the exploration of new areas of relative significance. This, in turn, and subsequent to the analysis of data generated from documentary sources and forty-one interviews which were collected from numerous sources within four locations, led to the elaboration of the contention that market risk management through derivative instruments for legitimate hedging purposes should not be prohibited in the Shari’a, albeit with certain conditions that limit unproductive behaviour. The basis for the aforementioned contention is built on the fact that market risk management has undergone a paradigm shift in how exposures are identified and measured as well as in the emergence of innovative tools which can result in a better ability to address the opportunities and challenges facing institutions that provide value to society (i.e., the real sector). Moreover, there is little substantive evidence that proves that the utilization of derivative instruments for hedging purposes leads its users to partaking in transactions that circumvent the prohibition of Riba (usury), Gharar (excessive uncertainty), and Maysir (gambling). In effect, the derivative instruments used for the management of market risks are not only disassociated from usurious debt transactions, they are also transacted in the financial markets in a manner that is transparent to all the parties involved. Along the same lines, the prohibition of Maysir, which is apparently an overarching concern, should be conceptualized with the focus on the proscription of the act of gambling, not necessarily the instruments (e.g., derivatives) and/or any particular framework (e.g., zero-sum arrangements). Ultimately, one should be cognizant of the fact that the true intentions of Islamic jurisprudence in Mua’amalat (as a manifestation of divine guidance) always centre on human well-being. Accordingly, the religious prohibitions are, in essence, within the realm of acts that adversely affect human well-being. This is a constant theme that is present throughout the thesis; and is one that exists at the heart of a wider aspiration of its adoption to a greater extent than is currently present in the Islamic finance discourse.

Abstract:
With a penetration rate of only about 13%, Internet usage in Thailand is lower than the world average, and is much less than the US and Australia where Internet penetration is over 70%. There are a number of approaches to modelling technology adoption, and this chapter describes a research project that modelled adoption of Internet technology by academics in Business Schools in Public Universities in Thailand. In the Internet adoption research outlined in this chapter, formulation of the research model was based mainly on TAM and its derivatives, survey methodology was used to collect primary data from academics in Thailand and analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The result was the generation of a research model: ‘The Internet Acceptance Model’ which demonstrates that only perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and self-efficacy significantly influenced actual usage behaviour in this case.

Abstract:
Derivatives play an important role in social and economic studies. They describe the behavior of conditional expectations. Once a phenomena is characterized by parametric specifications, the conditional expectation m(x) may be modeled by a regression function. Then, derivatives may be computed by fitting the regression function. In applications, parametric estimators are commonly used, because of the un-knowledge of other more effective methods. The validity of a regression fitting approach depends on the knowledge of certain aspects related with the true functional form. In this paper, we develop a study on the usage of soft computing methods for providing an alternative to the use of non-parametric regression. We develop our modeling including neural networks and rough sets approaches. The studied problem is the eutrophication due to the growth of the population of algae. Real life data is provided by a study on a fresh water basin. They are used for developing a comparison of different approaches. A methodology is recommended for implementing a monitoring system of the water quality.

Abstract:
Coal, due to its heterogenous nature and complex structure; physical, chemical and petrographic, introduces two-fold complications during its combustion in power generation. Organic and inorganic constituents in various petrographic states alter chemically and physically. The products of coal combustion; unburned carbon, deposits, oxides of metals and non-metals, metal and non-metal complexes, need to be identified qualitatively and quantitatively to increase the coal combustion efficiency and to optimize the durability of power plant components. This paper will describe the usage of various analytical tools like NMR, ESR, IR, Electron Microscopy, X-Ray, Fluorescent Microscopy coupled with Wet Analysis to analyze coal and its derivatives. Each spectroscopy will be related to a specific aspect of coal and its derivatives. The limiting conditions and the range of application of each of the tools will be provided. The knowledge of these ranges will help in monitoring accurate emission levels of a particulate concentration, NOx, SOx and will control several phenomena such as deposition, corrosion and erosion.

Abstract:
First and foremost, the main inspiration for a specific issue in this paper is the use of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas – „LPG“ as а sustaina­ble alternative fuel for transport in the Republic of North Macedonia. The questions that arise as a basis are: finding the reason why the progress in usage of alternative fuels is still slow and insufficient in the country and what are the advantages of the „LPG“ as most available fuel of this type, including the reduction of harmful CO2 emissions- as the most important benefit. By summarizing in one place all the theoretical and empirical aspects, we are finding the answer by analyzing the legal framework, the condition and the participants in the market of oil and oil derivatives in the country for the analyzed period of three years (2017-2019). The results and conclusions of the research shall be achieved via comprehensive analysis, and by finding the answers to the posed questions through the: theoretical analysis, the inductive and deductive methods, as well as description methods, whereas the techniques utilized shall be questionnaires, interviews, observations. The goal is achieved through: elaboration of legislation in the Republic of North Macedonia, emphasizing benefits of the LPG as alternative fuel and determination of the obstacles for its usage.

Abstract:
The knowledge of maneuvering characteristics of ships under different conditions is paramount from the safety and operation point of view. The maneuvering characteristics can be predicted in a number of ways: model scale maneuvering test, numerical calculation using hydrodynamic theories and numerical simulation based on semispherical formulas. The first and second approaches require detailed information of the hull geometry and other particulars. The model test prediction is often costly since it requires model construction, specialized equipment and testing facilities, etc. The theoretical prediction is less expensive than the model test but it usually requires substantial amount of computer resources, and CPU time in particular. On the other hand, semiempirical prediction does not require detailed ship information or extensive use of computer facilities, and it is the least expensive. However, it can only predict the general maneuvering characteristics for a given combination of ship basic parameters – principle dimensions, rudder and propeller particulars. Such general maneuvering characteristics would be essential for applications in ship design, port planning and maritime policy making. Using the semiempirical prediction at the early stage of a ship design, the designer can optimize the ship basic parameters in relation to maneuverability and other mission requirements. The port authorities and regulatory agencies can consult the semiempirical prediction in their decision making process regarding port development, traffic control and navigational requirements for different classes of ships. Bearing this in mind, a hydrodynamic derivative-type maneuvering simulation model has been developed at the Institute for Marine Dynamics ( IMD) of the National Research Council Canada. The development of the model was based on published information. The simulation model can predict the maneuvering characteristics of a ship if its hydrodynamic derivatives, rudder and propeller geometry are known. In addition, it can also predict maneuvering characteristics of merchant ships based on its basic design parameters including: length, beam, draft, block and waterplane coefficients, displacement, rudder and propeller geometry, etc. The model allows continuous engine speed and rudder angle inputs for simulation of both standard and arbitrary maneuvers. The model can also predict the influence of different propulsion systems and operating conditions oo the maneuvering behavior. It incorporates the effect of a bow thruster and the different response characteristic of steam and diesel power plants. In addition, the effects of bank and channel, current, shallow water and wind on the maneuvering behavior are incorporated. The mathematical formulations of the basic maneuvering model, thruster, propulsion plants and various environmental effects are described in Section 2 and 3. A carputer software package has been developed according to the mathematical formulations described. The package utilizes the existing carputer facilities at IMD. It is designed to be user-friendly and operates interactively according to the instructions of the user. The structure and usage of the simulation software are described in Section 4. A discussion of the accuracy of the simulation model is based on comparisons with model scale and sea trial results and the conclusions are presented in section 5 and 6, respectively.

Abstract:
This research provides insights on students’ perspectives on the functional interactivenesses of the virtual platforms that serve as online digitized classrooms used for teaching and learning in tertiary academic institutions, and which usage has gained global significance since the advent of COVID-19 pandemic. In this vein, there has been a significant global systemic and structural shift towards virtual education among tertiary institutions, with the requisite restructuring of the face-to-face teaching-learning mechanisms into new online delivery systems. Considering the fact that such new online systems, which are digitized educational instruction media, are mostly designed by third parties who are not the direct users, there is a need to provide users, namely teachers and students, the space to share their evaluative perspectives on the effectiveness of the current approaches to such instructional design, in terms of the quality of interactivenesses they provide users. This is because, systemic interaction in virtual education, as it is with all distance education systems, includes the way the user, especially the student, interact with the online platform, fellow students, lecturers, and the educational contents of programme. In this respect, systemic interaction is recognized as a key factor in determining the quality of the online platform’s functionality and effectiveness, and by implication, the reputation of its delivery. Thus, taking cognizance of argument in the extant literature that in distance education, as it is with virtual education, the transactional distance between students and teachers is not determined by their respective geographical locations, but by the quality of the interactive relationship and the balance between dialogue and other instructional events. As such, it important for designers of virtual teaching-learning platforms to understand the implication of such transactional distance, especially from the students perspectives, that should be effectively managed to engage the students to enable quality interactive teaching-learning. In this research, therefore, a model reflective of this dynamic interaction was firstly developed to provide a conceptual framework. Guided by this framework, a study was conducted among six hundred and eighty-seven graduate students in a Ghanaian university, a structured questionnaire was used to ask the students to assess the quality of their interaction with the virtual platform used in teaching them throughout the semester, from the perspectives of its enablement of connectivity with colleagues, derivation of sense of community and personalization, ease of communication and contents following, and how all these factors inform the quality of teaching-learning outcome, in terms of the effectiveness of systemic interaction and delivery reputation. The conceptual framework was tested using the Using the AMOS-based structural equation modelling approach. In the systemic analysis, the students evaluation of connectivity with colleagues, derivation of sense of community and personalization, ease of communication and contents following as quality enhancing derivatives, and their implications on the systemic interaction and delivery reputation of the quality of teaching-learning media is determined. The findings will provide additional insight in the design of virtual platforms serving as online classrooms for teaching-learning.

Single- and two-zone modeling, as used to describe the performance of centrifugal compressors, is evaluated against basic laboratory data. The historical industrial usage of single-zone modeling is reviewed and documented while indicating inherent errors as well as areas of applicability. Enhanced accuracy of two-zone modeling (also called jet-wake modeling in limited instances) is demonstrated and advantages for advanced design optimization studies are documented. An original and rigorous derivation of the two-zone (jet-wake) modeling equations is given which resolves discrepancies in earlier derivations. This paper is part of a seven-paper series presenting the foundation, history and application of two-zone modeling.

Abstract:
Monitoring the impacts of ecosystem restoration strategies requires both short-term and long-term land surface monitoring. The combined use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and satellite imagery enable effective landscape and natural resource management. However, processing, analyzing, and creating derivative imagery products can be time consuming, manually intensive, and cost prohibitive. In order to provide fast, accurate, and standardized UAS and satellite imagery processing, we have developed a suite of easy-to-use tools integrated into the graphical user interface (GUI) of ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro as well as open-source solutions using NodeOpenDroneMap. We built the Monitoring Ecological Restoration with Imagery Tools (MERIT) using Python and leveraging third-party libraries and open-source software capabilities typically unavailable within ArcGIS. MERIT will save US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) districts significant time in data acquisition, processing, and analysis by allowing a user to move from image acquisition and preprocessing to a final output for decision-making with one application. Although we designed MERIT for use in wetlands research, many tools have regional or global relevancy for a variety of environmental monitoring initiatives.
