The reliability and validity of decreased sound tolerance scale-screening

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022
Decreased Sound Tolerance (DST) is a negative reaction to a sound that does not cause any reaction in an individual with normal hearing. DST's subclasses include hyperacusis, phonophobia, and misophonia, which are distinct and have therapy variations. There is no diagnostic method or scale that distinguishes them in the literature. This study's purpose

On Some New Dynamic Inequalities Involving C-Monotonic Functions on Time Scales

open access: yesAxioms, 2022
In this paper, we establish some new dynamic inequalities involving C-monotonic functions with C≥1, on time scales. As a special case of our results when C=1, we obtain the inequalities involving increasing or decreasing functions (where for C=1, the 1 ...

Liquidity management with decreasing returns to scale and secured credit line [PDF]

open access: yesFinance and Stochastics, 2016
This paper examines the dividend and investment policies of a cash constrained firm that has access to costly external funding. We depart from the literature by allowing the firm to issue collateralized debt to increase its investment in productive assets resulting in a performance sensitive interest rate on debt.

A Robust Estimate of Continental‐Scale Terrestrial Carbon Sinks Using GOSAT XCO2 Retrievals

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Satellite XCO2 retrievals could improve the estimates of surface carbon fluxes, but it remains unknown on what scales these estimates are robust. Here, we use the time‐dependent Bayesian synthesis top‐down method and prior net ecosystem exchanges (NEEs ...

Excitations Are Localized and Relaxation Is Hierarchical in Glass-Forming Liquids

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2011
For several atomistic models of glass formers, at conditions below their glassy-dynamics–onset temperatures, T_{o}, we use importance sampling of trajectory space to study the structure, statistics, and dynamics of excitations responsible for structural ...

Decreasing Serial Cost Sharing under Economies of Scale [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Economic Theory, 1998
We consider the problem of cost sharing in the presence of increasing returns to scale and potential strategic behavior on the part of consumers. We show that any smooth and strictly monotonic mechanism for which a Nash equilibrium exists for all profiles of convex and monotonic preferences must be dictatorial.

Standardized Water Budget Index and Validation in Drought Estimation of Haihe River Basin, North China

open access: yesAdvances in Meteorology, 2016
The physical-based drought indices such as the self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (sc-PDSI) with the fixed time scale is inadequate for the multiscalar drought assessment, and the multiscalar drought indices including Standardized ...

Quality of life in patients with comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in presence of smoking

open access: yesInfusion & Chemotherapy, 2019
Background. A combination of chronic pancreatitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is quite common in clinical practice. This has a negative effect on the clinical course of both diseases.
