On Uncertain Lifetimes [PDF]

Journal of Political Economy, 1977
This paper contrasts consumer choice under uncertain lifetimes with the behavior that would arise if each individual's lifetime were announced at birth. In a model that includes life insurance and excludes investments in human capital, the expected utility under uncertain lifetimes exceeds that under known lifetimes when the latter expectation is based

Magnetic skyrmion annihilation by quantum mechanical tunneling

New Journal of Physics, 2020
Magnetic skyrmions are nano-scale magnetic states that could be used in various spintronics devices. A central issue is the mechanism and rate of various possible annihilation processes and the lifetime of metastable skyrmions.

Monthly variation and spatial distribution of quadrant tropical cyclone size in the Western North Pacific

Atmospheric Science Letters, 2020
With the tropical cyclone (TC) size parameter defined as the radius of 17‐m·s−1 oceanic surface wind, 225 TC cases were recorded in the western North Pacific during 2000–2009 based on the QuikSCAT near‐surface wind vector database and the best‐track ...

Trends in the lifetime risk of developing cancer in Great Britain: comparison of risk for those born from 1930 to 1960 [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Typically, lifetime risk is calculated by the period method using current risks at different ages. Here, we estimate the probability of being diagnosed with cancer for individuals born in a given year, by estimating future risks as the cohort

QTSAC: An Energy-Efficient MAC Protocol for Delay Minimization in Wireless Sensor Networks

IEEE Access, 2018
Millions of sensors are deployed to monitor the smart grid. They consume huge amounts of energy in the communication infrastructure. Therefore, the establishment of an energy-efficient medium access control (MAC) protocol for sensor nodes is challenging ...

Overlapping Length and Lifetime Influence on Load of Simple Over-lapped Adhesive Bond [PDF]

Transactions of the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava, Mechanical Series, 2011
A production process is various in single industrial branches; it usually has one common element – bonding pieces of material. We can say on the base of the production sphere analysis that simple overlapped adhesive bonds are the most common adhesive ...
