<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><strong>Abstract: </strong>Both order statistics and records arise naturally in many fields of studies such as climatology, sports, science, engineering, medicine, traffic, and industry, among others. Studies of their properties and applications play important roles in many areas of statistical research, for example, statistical inference, nonparametric statistics, among others. In recent years, the F^{α} distributions have been widely studied in statistics because of their wide applicability in the modeling and analysis of life time data. An absolutely continuous positive random variable X is said to have an F^{α} or exponentiated distribution if its cumulative distribution function (cdf) is given by G(x)=F^{α}(x)=[F(x)]^{α}, α>0, x>0, which is the αth power of the base line distribution function F(x). Many researchers and authors have developed various classes of F^{α} distributions. It appears from the literature that not much attention has been paid to the analysis of record values and order statistics from these members of F^{α} family of distributions, and, therefore, need further and special investigation. In this paper, some distributional properties of order statistics and record values from F^{α} distributions are reviewed. We hope that the findings of this paper will be a useful for the practitioners in various fields of studies and further enhancement of research in order statistics and record value theory, and their applications.<br /><br /> <br /> </span

The Impact of Colonialism on 19th and Early 20th Century China

Author: Wahed Mohammad Shakil
Publication venue: Cambridge Journal of China Studies
Publication date: 01/01/2016
Field of study

This essay attempts to critically analyze the overall impact of colonialism on 19th and early 20th century China. Analysis has been done primarily in the context of modernization theory and world-systems theory in order to get the contrasting views at two extreme levels. In addition, the liberal market approach has also been used to balance the two extremes. It has been noted that several positive influences of colonialism on the Chinese economy and society remained limited within a small area only. Contrarily, the most devastating impact of colonialism had been on the Qing state. The forceful imperialist invasion dealt a major blow to its overall capacity to lead China as a united nation towards prosperity. In summary, this essay argues in favor of an overarching negative impact of colonialism on China

Critical assessment of the Legal Recourse for the Case of Sukuk default for the Asset-Backed Sukuk and Asset-Based Sukuk structures

Author: Shakil Mohammad Hassan
Publication venue: University of Turin
Publication date: 25/07/2017
Field of study

This paper critically assesses and analyze the Islamic certificate of investments (Sukuk) and its two different structures; asset-backed and asset-based. The co-ownership of the recourse of the Sukuk is additionally known as an Underlying asset. The paper will discuss the legal alternatives of the stakeholders in the case of default of Sukuk. It is believed that Sukuk default by the institution cannot occur in its true sense, as they're not debt instruments issued by the issuer. Rather, they represent the possession of the Sukuk holders on the underlying assets; thus, the Sukuk are primarily based on assets. The recourse mechanism of Sukuk default ought to take into consideration to safeguard the interest of the investors

Effectiveness of the Chinese Communist Party’s Anti-corruption Institutions and Policies: A Critical Review

Author: WAHED Mohammad Shakil
Publication venue: Cambridge Journal of China Studies
Publication date: 01/12/2016
Field of study

The intensity of corruption in China has been progressively high since the 1980s. This seriously undermines the overall effectiveness of Chinese anti-corruption institutions and policies. This article argues that the existing anti-corruption measures in China have not been working properly to eliminate or even contain the problem at an acceptable level. It seems that something has been holding it back somewhere. This article argues that China badly needs, inter alia, a sincere demonstration of ‘political will’ from the top coupled with the introduction of ‘rule of law’ in the country. Without these two important elements, it will probably be quite difficult for China to achieve an effective anti-corruption mechanism

China’s Current Role in Global Economic Governance: Pushing for Gradual Changes by Remaining within the System

Author: WAHED Mohammad Shakil
Publication venue: Cambridge Journal of China Studies
Publication date: 01/03/2017
Field of study

Once the alienated economy, China is now well integrated with the rest of the world. The country recognizes the growing importance of global economic governance. In fact, it is now almost impossible to ensure effective and meaningful global economic governance without ensuring China’s active participation. This article critically evaluates Chinese views of global economic governance and then tries to ascertain how the country has been participating in the process. The article argues that domestic development priorities play very important role in shaping China’s global behavior pattern. It further argues that be it in the G20, in multilateral financial institutions or in the WTO, China has been following the prudent strategy of remaining within the system in order to influence gradual changes in global economic governance. It does not want to follow its strategy of alienation any more like it did earlier, between the 1950s and late 1970s

Performance evaluation of generic flexible manufacturing systems

Author: Rahman Mohammad Shakil-ur
Publication venue: Iowa State University Digital Repository
Publication date: 01/01/1989
Field of study

This study describes a potential tool to evaluate the performance of Flexible Manufacturing Systems on the basis of both conventional design parameters (MTTF, MTTR, MTR) and other factors, including the use of the Markov process. System effectiveness is used as a performance measure, and credits are granted if only some of the systems are functional. To improve performance, a central storage, whose spares level is optimized heuristically, was installed to replenish spares for failing equipment. Such performance measurement technique is likely to be very useful for most real life FMS environments. The model is currently being tested for a wide range of applications
