Nondiffractive sonic crystals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We predict theoretically the nondiffractive propagation of sonic waves in periodic acoustic media (sonic crystals), by expansion into a set of plane waves (Bloch mode expansion), and by finite difference time domain calculations of finite beams.

Impact of the Panama Canal expansion on Latin American and Caribbean ports: difference in difference (DID) method

open access: yesJournal of Shipping and Trade, 2021
The expanded Panama Canal opened on June 26, 2016. This expansion is the third set of locks that enabled the canal to double its capacity through the addition of new traffic lanes, which allowed neo-Panamax and some post-Panamax vessels to transit across

Spectral Analysis of Certain Schr\"odinger Operators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The $J$-matrix method is extended to difference and $q$-difference operators and is applied to several explicit differential, difference, $q$-difference and second order Askey-Wilson type operators. The spectrum and the spectral measures are discussed in

Asymptotic Expansions for Higher-Order Scalar Difference Equations [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Difference Equations, 2007
An asymptotic expansion of the solutions of higher-order Poincaré difference equation in terms of the characteristic solutions of the limiting equation is given. As a consequence, an asymptotic description of the solutions approaching a hyperbolic equilibrium of a higher-order nonlinear difference equation with sufficiently smooth nonlinearity is ...

Impact of Medicaid expansion on young adult firearm and motor vehicle crash trauma patients

open access: yesSurgery Open Science, 2022
Background: The Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion has increased insurance coverage and reduced some disparities in care and outcomes among trauma patients, but its impact on subsets of trauma patients with particular mechanisms of injury are unclear.

Reversible data hiding method by extending reduced difference expansion

open access: yesIJAIN (International Journal of Advances in Intelligent Informatics), 2019
To keep hiding secret data in multimedia files, such as video, audio, and image considers essential for information security. Image, for instance, as the media aids data insertion securely. The use of insertion technique must ensure a reliable process on

Medicaid Expansion Affects Rural And Urban Hospitals Differently [PDF]

open access: yesHealth Affairs, 2016
Rural hospitals differ from urban hospitals in many ways. For example, rural hospitals are more reliant on public payers and have lower operating margins. In addition, enrollment in the health insurance Marketplaces of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has varied across rural and urban areas.

Simulation study on the deflection and expansion of hydraulic fractures in coal-rock complexes

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2022
The physical difference and structural weak surface of coal-rock complexes greatly influence the morphology of hydraulic fractures (HFs). This study aims to explore the law of deflection and expansion of HFs in coal-rock complexes under different stress ...
