Exploring dynamics in catastrophic health care expenditure in Nigeria

Health Economics Review, 2022
Background The Nigeria’s National Health Insurance Scheme aimed at making health care accessible and affordable since it’s became operational in 2005. However, many Nigerians still pay out of pocket for medical expenses, and this drive them to incurring ...

Coupling, concentration inequalities, and stochastic dynamics [PDF]

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2008
In the context of interacting particle systems, we study the influence of the action of the semigroup on the concentration property of Lipschitz functions. As an application, this gives a new approach to estimate the relaxation speed to equilibrium of interacting particle systems.

Versatile Magneto‐Dielectric Response of Epitaxial Thin Films of the High Entropy Oxide Perovskite Nd(Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2)O3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The magnetic high entropy oxide perovskite Nd(Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2)O3 exhibits a substantially large dielectric constant (εr) at room temperature, which shows distinct anionic and cationic contributions in the form of zero and finite bias peaks, respectively, down to its magnetic transition temperature (Tmag).

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Best constant in weighted sobolev inequality with weights being powers of distance from the origin

Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 1997
We study the best constant in Sobolev inequality with weights being powers of distance from the origin in . In this variational problem, the invariance of by the group of dilatations creates some possible loss of compactness.

Concentration Inequalities for Bounded Functionals via Log-Sobolev-Type Inequalities [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Probability, 2020
AbstractIn this paper, we prove multilevel concentration inequalities for bounded functionals$$f = f(X_1, \ldots , X_n)$$f=f(X1,…,Xn)of random variables$$X_1, \ldots , X_n$$X1,…,Xnthat are either independent or satisfy certain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

Chronic Hypoxia Disrupts Spermatogenesis Through ASXL2–EZH2–Mediated Microtubule Destabilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism by which chronic hypoxia impairs spermatogenesis via the ASXL2–EZH2 axis, hindering the transition of spermatids from round to elongated forms. Key findings reveal that under hypoxic conditions, downregulated ASXL2 expression reduces EZH2 binding to the CEP162 promoter, leading to decreased H3K27me3 modification and ...

Changes in Socio-Economic Inequality in Neonatal Mortality in Iran Between 1995-2000 and 2005-2010: An Oaxaca Decomposition Analysis [PDF]

International Journal of Health Policy and Management, 2017
Background Exploring changes in health inequality and its determinants over time is of policy interest. Accordingly, this study aimed to decompose inequality in neonatal mortality into its contributing factors and then explore changes from 1995-2000 to
