Price majorization and the inverse Lorenz function [PDF]
The paper presents an approach to the measurement of economic disparity in several commodities. We introduce a special view on the usual Lorenz curve and extend this view to the multivariate situation: Given a vector of shares of the total endowments in ...

Excellent Thermoelectric and Mechanical Properties of Ce‐Doped Mg3(Sb, Bi)2‐Based Materials
In this work, an ultralow lattice thermal conductivity кL ~ 0.51 W m−1 K−1 and excellent mechanical properties including Vickers hardness of ~1012 MPa and average compressive strength of ~531 MPa were achieved in Ce‐doped Mg3Sb2‐based alloys. The emerging n‐type Mg3(Sb, Bi)2‐based materials have attracted considerable attention for their excellent ...

Robust Inequality Comparisons [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the problem of ranking Lorenz curves in situations where the Lorenz curves intersect and no unambiguous ranking can be attained without introducing weaker ranking criteria than first-degree Lorenz dominance. To deal with such

A Comparison of Alternative Functional Forms For Parametric Estimation of the Lorenz Curve [PDF]
Using U.S. income data, we evaluate several functional forms for the Lorenz curve. On the basis of the goodness of fit, estimated income shares and Gini coefficients, the form proposed by Kakwani (1980) is found to be overall superior to the other forms ...

A brief history and future directions of dielectrophoretic filtration: A review
Abstract Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is an electrokinetic effect first studied in the early 20th century. Since then, DEP has gained significant interest in research, owing to its ability to solve particle separation problems in various industries. Dielectrophoretic filtration (DEP filtration) is a separation method using DEP to filter a wide range of ...

The efficiency and output power of thermophotovoltaic systems can be improved by using one‐dimensional photonic crystal optical filters with graded index profiles. Using a filter with a graded index profile increases the system efficiency from 15.8 to 27%.
