Abstract Many regulated health insurance markets with community‐rated premiums rely on risk adjustment (RA) to mitigate insurer‐incentives to risk select. However, insurers remain typically undercompensated for chronically ill enrollees. We use historical data on health spending and risk adjuster information to identify individuals undercompensated by ...

Abstract ‘Colossus LJ’ (Reg. no. CV‐563, PI 692622) and ‘Goliath LJ’ (Reg. no. CV‐562, PI 692621) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars were developed by the Clemson University Pee Dee Research and Extension Center in Florence, SC, and released as forage maturity group (MG) VII and MG VIII glyphosate‐tolerant cultivars, respectively. After release,

Molecular and functional in vivo characterisation of murine Dectin‐1 isoforms
Dectin‐1 is a C‐type lectin receptor for the innate sensing of fungi. This receptor exists in two major isoforms in mice differing in a stalk domain, which determines their degradative pathway. Here, we characterise the properties of the two isoforms in a cellular context and using a newly established in vivo model. Abstract Dectin‐1 is a C‐type lectin‐

Experimental setup of diesel‐biodiesel‐DEE blend test to find the optimum blend ratio. Also, the effect of variable inlet pressure using computer simulation was studied to find the optimum conditions. Abstract Globally, the encouragement of using renewable fuels like biodiesel for diesel engines is driven by concerns over the fossil fuel depletion and ...

Diversity and structural‐functional insights of alpha‐solenoid proteins
Abstract Alpha‐solenoids are a significant and diverse subset of structured tandem repeat proteins (STRPs) that are important in various domains of life. This review examines their structural and functional diversity and highlights their role in critical cellular processes such as signaling, apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation.

The authors propose the total supply capability (TSC) of the low‐voltage flexible distribution network (LVFDN) for the first time. The influence mechanism for low‐voltage flexible interconnection on TSC is quantitatively analysed with a case study. Furthermore, suggestions for the planning and operation of LVFDN are given.

Asymmetric all‐pay auctions with spillovers
When opposing parties compete for a prize, the sunk effort players exert during the conflict can affect the value of the winner's reward. These spillovers can have substantial influence on the equilibrium behavior of participants in applications such as lobbying, warfare, labor tournaments, marketing, and R&D races.

We study a model in which two players with opposing interests try to alter a status quo through instability‐generating actions. We show that instability can be used to secure longer‐term durable changes, even if it is costly to generate and does not generate short‐term gains.

Maya records of planetary conjunctions in Dresden Codex [PDF]
Old Mayas designed a very complicated calendar, and they also recorded important historical events and astronomical phenomena. Dresden Codex (DC), one of the four preserved Mayan hieroglyphic literal legacies, contains many of these, covering ...

I study sequential contests where the efforts of earlier players may be disclosed to later players by nature or by design. The model has many applications, including rent seeking, R&D, oligopoly, public goods provision, and tragedy of the commons. I show that information about other players' efforts increases the total effort. Thus, the total effort is
