Data privacy model using blockchain reinforcement federated learning approach for scalable internet of medical things

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has typical advancements in the healthcare sector with rapid potential proof for decentralised communication systems that have been applied for collecting and monitoring COVID‐19 patient data. Machine Learning algorithms typically use the risk score of each patient based on risk factors, which could help ...

A suitable approach to resource allocation in biosecurity when considering dependent benefits and costs

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Optimal allocation of resources to the management of biosecurity risk, threatened species conservation or natural hazards such as bushfires is imperative—because program budgets are usually finite and, therefore, constrained. However, effectively dividing resources among management activities to achieve the greatest benefit remains a ...

On an Arithmetic Inequality

open access: yesAnalele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2014
We obtain an arithmetic proof and a refinement of the inequality ϕ (nk) + σk(n) < 2nk, where n ≧ 2 and k ≧ 2. An application to another inequality is also provided.

Balancing bossism: State expansion in the face of elite capture

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Central states have often relied on local elites to implement policies in peripheral areas. These strategies may allow otherwise weak states to impose their directives, but they can also be inefficient, particularly when a single elite commands total control over local politics (monopolist capture).

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

0.001% and counting: Revisiting the price rounding tax

open access: yesContemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract In 1991 and 2008, Israel abolished the equivalents of 1¢ and 5¢ coins, respectively, effectively eliminating low‐denomination coins and introducing rounding in cash transactions. When totals were rounded up, shoppers incurred a small rounding tax.

Cryptocurrency Bubbles and Costly Mining

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper develops a model of a cryptocurrency by incorporating mining into the otherwise standard search‐theoretic monetary framework. As usual, multiple equilibria exist. To obtain a sharp prediction on whether a cryptocurrency' s value will last in the future, I propose a notion of equilibrium refinement based on the feature that mining ...

Divisive language

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Sciences, 2023
Abstract What language devises, it might divide. By exploring the relations among the core geometries of the physical world, the abstract geometry of Euclid, and language, I give new insight into both the persistence of core knowledge into adulthood and our access to it through language.

A genetic algorithm simheuristic for solving the stochastic project portfolio selection problem with portfolio reliability constraints

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In response to the increasing complexity of modern products, dynamic markets, and intensified competition, project‐based organizations are actively seeking methodologies to efficiently manage their expanding project portfolios. This paper analyzes the project portfolio selection problem in uncertain environments. Despite recent advances in the

Intrinsic Benchmark Beating

open access: yesJournal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the role of intrinsic motivations—psychologically based, non‐economic factors—in earnings benchmark beating by focusing on owner‐managed firms that are largely free from external pressures from shareholders, analysts, and the media.
