Certificate of need laws: a systematic review and cost-effectiveness analysis
BMC Health Services Research, 2020 Background Certificate of Need (CON) laws, currently in place in 35 US states, require certain health care providers to obtain a certification of their economic necessity from a state board before opening or undertaking a major expansion.

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2014 Information theoretical inequalities have strong ties with polymatroids and their representability. A polymatroid is entropic if its rank function is given by the Shannon entropy of the subsets of some discrete random variables. The book is a special iterated adhesive extension of a polymatroid with the property that entropic polymatroids have $n$-page

Complaints and inequality [PDF]
Social Choice and Welfare, 2004 The authors move beyond the Temkin suggestion [see \textit{L. S. Temkin}, Inequality, Oxford Ethics Ser., Oxford University Press, Oxford (1993)] about the nature of complaints and the way in which they may be aggregated in order to provide a rigorous analysis of a tape of inequality index and inequality literature.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Representing Neighborhood Health: Exploring Citizen Science as a Democratic Force
Citizen Science: Theory and PracticeIn discussions about citizen science (CS), scholars have considered CS as not only a tool to produce better science, but also a democratizing practice allowing for new definitions of public problems. Inspired by science and technology studies, we present

Inequality Is a Problem of Inference: How People Solve the Social Puzzle of Unequal Outcomes
Societies, 2018 A new wave of scholarship recognizes the importance of people’s understanding of inequality that underlies their political convictions, civic values, and policy views. Much less is known, however, about the sources of people’s different beliefs.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.DRIVE‐SAFE evaluates learning‐based, black‐box autonomous driving policies against evolving temporal safety requirements using Signal Temporal Logic robustness metrics. It aggregates distributional robustness measures with domain‐informed weights to guide iterative retraining.

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2019 Background In this paper we examine the relationship between social capital and two mental health outcomes—self-rated mental health (SRMH) and heavy episodic drinking (HED)—among the Indigenous populations of Canada. We operationalize a unique definition

Nonreciprocal Swarmalators With Reconfigurable and Controllable Formations for Robot Collectives
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Nonreciprocal swarmalator interactions are enabled through control barrier functions to transform self‐organizing robot collectives into reconfigurable, constraint‐aware systems. Complex two‐ and three‐dimensional shapes, continuous morphing, obstacle‐aware navigation, collective splitting, and object transport emerge from modulating agent‐level ...
