Government healthcare financing and dwindling oil prices: Any alternatives for OPEC countries?
Cogent Economics & Finance, 2023 Crude oil is one of the sources by which budgets are financed in OPEC countries. However, the fall in oil prices in 2014 put their governments’ finances under significant pressure. Healthcare was one of the sectors experiencing fiscal strain.

Octonion Hermitian quadrangles
Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society - Simon Stevin, 1998 A hermitian quadrangle \(H_nF\) is a polar space (of rank~2) defined by a hermitian sesquilinear form on~\(F^{n+1}\). This works nicely over skew fields like \(\mathbb R\), \(\mathbb C\) or~\(\mathbb H\), but the lack of associativity presents difficulties if one wants to extend the definition to the alternative algebra~\(\mathbb O\) of Cayley numbers.

Conditional Rényi Divergence Saddlepoint and the Maximization of α-Mutual Information
Entropy, 2019 Rényi-type generalizations of entropy, relative entropy and mutual information have found numerous applications throughout information theory and beyond. While there is consensus that the ways A.

Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Classification of skew translation generalized quadrangles, I [PDF]
, 2014 We describe new classification results in the theory of generalized quadrangles (= Tits-buildings of rank 2 and type B-2), more precisely in the (large) subtheory of skew translation generalized quadrangles ("STGQs").

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.High‐frequency (HF) welding of steel is limited by oxide inclusions that degrade weld quality. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the integration of a nonthermal Ar/H2 dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma jet into HF welding. Local plasma treatment provides effective shielding and in‐situ oxide reduction, resulting in markedly fewer and ...
