Predictions of relative risks for dengue disease mapping in Malaysia based on stochastic SIR-SI vector-borne infectious disease transmission model (2014)
Book Chapter
Samat, N., & Percy, D. (2014). Predictions of relative risks for dengue disease mapping in Malaysia based on stochastic SIR-SI vector-borne infectious disease transmission model. In A. Kasim, W. Omar, N. Razak, N. Musa, R. Halim, & S. Mohamed (Eds.), Proceedings of the International Conference on Science, Technology and Social Sciences (ICSTSS) 2012 (399-404). Singapore: Springer

The main aim of this paper is to propose a procedure for predicting relative risk in order to suggest approximate future dengue disease progression patterns for Malaysia. Firstly, we discuss the posterior predictive distributions that are used to gen...

Reliability equivalence factors for a series-parallel system assuming an exponentiated weibull distribution (2014)
Book Chapter
Alghamdi, S., & Percy, D. (2014). Reliability equivalence factors for a series-parallel system assuming an exponentiated weibull distribution. In S. Wu (Ed.), Proceedings of 8th IMA International Conference on Modelling in Industrial Maintenance and Reliability. Institute of Mathematics and its Applications

In this study, we discuss the reliability equivalence factors of a series-parallel system with n series subsystems connected in parallel where subsystem i has m(i) independent and identically distributed components. We assume that each component has... Read More about Reliability equivalence factors for a series-parallel system assuming an exponentiated weibull distribution.

Transnationals: transnational consumers and transnational mobile consumers (2013)
Book Chapter
Sirkeci, I. (2013). Transnationals: transnational consumers and transnational mobile consumers. In Transnational Marketing and Transnational Consumers (25-34). Berlin: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36775-5_2

The subheading above may appear confusing but the two terms are used on purpose to provoke debate on the possibility of having two broader segments relating to the transnational marketing era.

Transnationalisation and transnational marketing strategy (2013)
Book Chapter
Sirkeci, I. (2013). Transnationalisation and transnational marketing strategy. In Transnational Marketing and Transnational Consumers (1-23). Berlin: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36775-5_1

The world is in a constant change as are the organisations, the consumers and the ways in which businesses are connected and managed. The two main drastic changes we are concerned with here are, first, the increasing mobility of goods, finances and p... Read More about Transnationalisation and transnational marketing strategy.

Targeting and reaching transnationals and transnational mobiles (2013)
Book Chapter
Sirkeci, I. (2013). Targeting and reaching transnationals and transnational mobiles. In Transnational Marketing and Transnational Consumers (59-63). Heidelberg: Springer Berlin. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36775-5_4

So far we have established that a significantly large mobile population is out there; immigrants, tourists, students and connected others. The total numbers are expressed in hundreds of millions. Then we also have a potentially larger number of consu... Read More about Targeting and reaching transnationals and transnational mobiles.

Mobility and the Transnationals (2013)
Book Chapter

Mobile professionals who constantly move through different national boundaries and cultures were called “circulating consumers”. However, these should fall under our wider category of ‘mobile consumers’ and named ‘transnational mobiles’. Hence moveme... Read More about Mobility and the Transnationals.
