An inequality similar to Opial’s inequality [PDF]
rb 1 b (1) fJ |yy(n) I dx (b ? a)n1 I y(n) 12dx. 2 (He employs (1) to prove uniqueness of the initial value problem for linear differential equations of order n.) Also there are generalizations of Opial's original inequality in other directions. (See, for instance, Calvert [2] and Yang [6].) The purpose of this note is to obtain a sharper version of (1)

Research on public opinion and international security has extensively examined attitudes toward nuclear weapons, but the diffusion of basic knowledge about nuclear weapons among the everyday citizens has nevertheless been mostly missed.

Background : It is well understood that health affects labour force participation (LFP). However, much of the published research has been on older (retiring age) populations and using subjective health measures. This paper aims to assess the impact of an

Which Inequality? The Inequality of Endowments versus the Inequality of Rewards [PDF]
We introduce a new distinction between inequality in initial endowments (e.g., ability, inherited wealth) and inequality of what one can obtain as rewards (e.g., prestigious positions, money). We show that, when society allocates resources via tournaments, these two types of inequality have opposing effects on equilibrium behavior and well-being ...

Gravity inequalities and the mean temperature on a planet
In the centered surround system S ( 2 ) { P , Γ } $S^{(2)} \{P,\varGamma \}$ , we establish the following gravity inequalities: ( 1 + 5 2 π e 2 1 − e 2 ) ( 2 π | Γ | ) 2 ≤ 1 | Γ | ∮ Γ 1 ∥ A − P ∥ 2 ≤ ( 1 + 16 − π 4 π e 2 1 − e 2 ) ( 2 π | Γ | ) 2 ...

Abstract The deteriorating position ofless-qualified workers has been a growing cause for concern in many OECD countries in the 1980s and 1990s. As well as contributing directly to rising inequality, it compounds the difficulties faced by workers already disadvantaged in the labour market for reasons of age, gender, or race.

Various issues surrounding a recently proposed inequality among twist-two quark distributions in the nucleon are discussed. We provide a rigorous derivation of the inequality in QCD, including radiative corrections and scale dependence. We also give a more heuristic, but more physical derivation, from which we show that a similar inequality does not ...

Health equity monitoring is essential in public health: lessons from Mozambique
Background Countries must be able to describe and monitor their populations health and well-being needs in an attempt to understand and address them. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have re-emphasized the need to invest in comprehensive health ...

An inequality of Schur and an inequality of Newton [PDF]
2 (1.3) Er ? Er-iEr+1 and (1.4) 1r ? Hr-lHr+i. 1 The inequality (1.3) is known as Newton's inequality and is true when a1, a2, * * *, am are real numbers. The inequality (1.4), given by Professor Schur, is true when a1, a2, * * X am are nonnegative reals. In [1], Whiteley has given the following generalizations of (1.3) and (1.4): Let (1.5) El(K) = Xi1,
