Cyclical Markups: Theories and Evidence [PDF]

, 1990
If changes in aggregate demand were an important source of macroeconomic fluctuations, real wages would be countercyclical unless markups of price over marginal cost were themselves countercyclical. We thus examine three theories of markup variation at cyclical frequencies. The first assumes only that the elasticity of demand is a function of the level

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

A Weighted Evidence Combination Approach for Target Identification in Wireless Sensor Networks

IEEE Access, 2017
Information fusion using evidence theory in wireless sensors networks has been used extensively to identify targets because it offers the advantage of handling uncertainty. But the classical Dempster's combination rule cannot deal with highly conflicting

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Exact holography and black hole entropy in N=8 and N=4 string theory [PDF]

, 2017
We compute the exact entropy of one-eighth and one-quarter BPS black holes in N=8 and N=4 string theory respectively. This includes all the N=4 CHL models in both K3 and T^4 compactifications.

Evaluating Evidence Reliability on the Basis of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets

Information, 2018
The evaluation of evidence reliability is still an open topic, when prior knowledge is unavailable. In this paper, we propose a new method for evaluating evidence reliability, in the framework of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The reliability of evidence was

Impact of Radiation Therapy on Physical and Psychosocial Health of Adolescents and Young Adults: A Joint Report From the Children's Oncology Group AYA and Radiation Oncology Committees

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rates of cancer among adolescents and young adults (AYA), age 15–39 years, are increasing. Consequently, radiation oncologists are treating more AYAs who have diagnoses spanning both pediatric and adult practices. Compared to pediatric and older adult patients, AYAs face a unique set of challenges.

Social Functioning Within the First Years After Pediatric Brain Tumor Diagnosis and the Relationship With Family Psychosocial Risk

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

Thermal runaway safety analysis of eVTOL based on evidence theory and interval analysis

Xibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao
In order to ensure the safety of eVTOL, safety analysis of thermal runaway problem of lithium battery is needed. Due to insufficient failure data, a safety assessment method based on evidence theory and interval analysis is proposed.

An Efficient Orthogonal Polynomial Method for Auxetic Structure Analysis with Epistemic Uncertainties

Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2022
Traditional approaches used for analyzing the mechanical properties of auxetic structures are commonly based on deterministic techniques, where the effects of uncertainties are neglected.
