Epilepsy in emerging adulthood: Clinical, psychosocial, and surgical challenges

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Emerging adulthood (EAs; ages 19–29 years) is a unique developmental stage marked by major psychological, social, and occupational transitions. We sought to characterize the clinical, psychosocial, and surgical features of epilepsy in emerging adulthood, considering both current age and age at epilepsy onset.

First Observational Tests of Eternal Inflation [PDF]

, 2011
The eternal inflation scenario predicts that our observable Universe resides inside a single bubble embedded in a vast inflating multiverse. We present the first observational tests of eternal inflation, performing a search for cosmological signatures of

Hidden Costs of Ethical Fashion: Sustainable Development Goals and Garment Worker Exploitation in Bangladesh

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across garment factories in the Global South, the promise of “ethical fashion” coexists with poverty wages and retaliation. This study examines why the global call for decent work has not improved labor conditions in Bangladesh's ready‐made garment industry.

A more attractive scheme for radion stabilization and supercooled phase transition

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We propose a new radion stabilization mechanism in the Randall-Sundrum spacetime, introducing a bulk SU(N H ) gauge field which confines at a TeV scale. It turns out that the radion is stabilized by the balance between a brane tension and a pressure due ...

Better on Average? Average Inflation Targeting With an Unclear Averaging Window

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Average inflation targeting (AIT) aims to stabilize inflation expectations by offsetting past deviations from target. However, ambiguity about the averaging window can complicate expectations formation and reduce policy effectiveness. This paper integrates AIT into a benchmark DSGE model, incorporating adaptive learning and a signal extraction

Eternal Inflation: Prohibited by Quantum Gravity?

, 2008
We investigate how eternal inflation is affected by quantum gravity effects. We consider general features of quantum gravity, such as renormalizability, complementarity, minimal length, definition of observables, and weak gravity conjecture.

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

CAAI 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 ...

Hubble selection of the weak scale from QCD quantum critical point

Physical Review Research, 2022
There is growing evidence that the small weak scale may be related to self-organized criticality. In this regard, we note that if the strange quark were lighter, the QCD phase transition could have been first order, possibly exhibiting quantum critical ...

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...

Conceptualizing and measuring consumers’ negative attitudes towards online shopping

British Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the advantages of online shopping, increasing evidence indicates the prevalence of negative consumer attitudes towards online shopping (NATOS). Yet existing research exhibits a nearly exclusive focus on measuring positive attitudes, creating limited conceptual breadth. Moreover, despite the existence of conceptually related constructs (
