Wind plant annual energy production maximisation and efficiency improvement with considerations for thrust and turbulence intensity by Charles, Mfon Okokon

“…Layout optimisation, however, does not guarantee consistently large T-2-T distances throughout the wind plant in any wind direction and would not promote computational costs reduction imposed by turbine set-point optimisation in multi-directional wind plants. …”

Estimation of Shadow-Rate Term Structure Models Near the Zero-Lower Bound by Esmail, Shabbirhussein

“…Prieb- ˇ sch’s first-cumulant method is more accurate than Krippner’s method for a 1-factor Vasicek model, while Priebsch’s second-cumulant method is deemed impractical ˇ because of the computational time it takes. In a multi-factor AFNS model, only Krippner’s framework is feasible. …”

The impact of IFRS 17 transition mechanisms legislated by tax authorities on the GloBE effective tax rate of South Africa headquartered insurers by Modise, Keletso

“…The research conducted seeks to determine the extent to which the transition mechanism legislated by tax authorities in response to and in preparation for the transition to IFRS 17 may impact the effective tax rate computed under the GloBE Rules. In addressing the research problem a two-pronged approach was taken, the first being a comparative analysis between the transition mechanisms opted for by tax authorities in South Africa and the United Kingdom, and the second being a case study using Discovery Limited, a South Africa headquartered MNE Group as the subject to illustrate the potential impact of the former, on the effective tax rate in the jurisdictions it operates in. …”
