ABSTRACT This paper proposes a scale for measuring consumer financial well‐being (CFW), covering its dimensions and consequences. The holistic nature of the scale is a significant improvement on the existing measures of CFW, which cover only a few dimensions, such as debt and financial distress, without focusing on the consequences of CFW.

In this study, we explore solutions for reducing the effects of station network geographical inhomogeneities on spatially aggregated verification scores, for operational verification practices. A weighting procedure based on Gaussian kernels, where the weights are inversely proportional to the network density around each station, is proposed.

New Black Hole Solutions with Axial Symmetry in Einstein-Yang-Mills Theory
We construct new black hole solutions in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. They are static, axially symmetric and asymptotically flat. They are characterized by their horizon radius and a pair of integers (k,n), where k is related to the polar angle and n to ...

Rupture of the 1949 Khait Earthquake on a Cryptic Fault: Implications for Earthquake Hazard
Abstract The 1949 Mw 7.6 Khait earthquake, Tajikistan, was one of the most destructive of the Pamir—Tien Shan region, killing over 7,000 people by building collapse and landsliding. It occurred at the transition between the Pamir and Tien Shan mountain ranges, which converge along the narrow Vashkh river valley.
