Surface wettability control on zircaloy-4 by nanosecond Nd:YAG laser with beam homogenizer
AIP Advances, 2022 We introduce the laser-induced surface processing (LISP) method that imparts hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity using a Nd:YAG nanosecond laser, especially the high-fluence (HF) condition for fast processing and the low-fluence (LF) condition to control ...

Global Business Cycles: Convergence or Decoupling? [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 We analyze the evolution of the degree of global cyclical interdependence over the period 1960–2008. Using a dynamic factor model, we decompose macroeconomic fluctuations in output, consumption, and investment into a global factor, factors specific to country groups, and country‐specific factors. We find that during 1985–2008, there is some convergence

Continuous-time integral dynamics for Aggregative Game equilibrium seeking [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper, we consider continuous-time semi-decentralized dynamics for the equilibrium computation in a class of aggregative games. Specifically, we propose a scheme where decentralized projected-gradient dynamics are driven by an integral control ...

Global Convergence: Aging and Long-Term Care Policy Challenges in the Developing World
Journal of Aging & Social Policy, 2019 Aging around the world poses a global challenge in eldercare. This challenge is particularly felt in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where population aging outpaces the development of aged care policies and services. This Perspective highlights

Global increase and geographic convergence in antibiotic consumption between 2000 and 2015
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Antibiotic resistance, driven by antibiotic consumption, is a growing global health threat. Our report on antibiotic use in 76 countries over 16 years provides an up-to-date comprehensive assessment of global trends in antibiotic consumption.
