Palm oil production in Nigeria is mainly by traditional methods. Its high dietary content has made it an increasingly demanded household edible oil. Beyond the immediate palm oil productivity challenges, the Covid-19 pandemic created gaps in resource ...

An economic analysis of the benefits of sterilizing medical instruments in low-temperature systems instead of steam [PDF]
Hydrogen peroxide-based, low-temperature sterilization has been shown to do less damage to medical instruments than steam autoclaves. However, low-temperature systems are more expensive to run. Higher costs need to be balanced against savings from reduced repair costs to determine value for money when choosing how to sterilize certain instruments ...

Apparent CPT Violation in Neutrino Oscillation Experiments [PDF]
We consider searching for light sterile fermions and new forces by using long baseline oscillations of neutrinos and antineutrinos. A new light sterile state and/or a new force can lead to apparent CPT violation in muon neutrino and antineutrino oscillations. As an example, we present an economical model of neutrino masses containing a sterile neutrino.

Seesaw Right Handed Neutrino as the Sterile Neutrino for LSND [PDF]
We show that a double seesaw framework for neutrino masses with $\mu-\tau$ exchange symmetry can lead to one of the righthanded seesaw partners of the light neutrinos being massless. This can play the role of a light sterile neutrino, giving a $3+1$ model that explains the LSND results.

Understanding the Paradox of Primary Health Care Use: Empirical Evidence from India [PDF]
I study households' primary health care usage in India, which presents a paradox. I examine why most households use fee-charging private health care services even though (1) most providers have no formal medical qualifications and (2) in markets where qualified doctors offer free care through public hospitals.

Sterile Neutrino Anarchy [PDF]
Lepton mixing, which requires physics beyond the Standard Model, is surprisingly compatible with a minimal, symmetryless and unbiased approach, called anarchy. This contrasts with highly involved flavor symmetry models. On the other hand, hints for light sterile neutrinos have emerged from a variety of independent experiments and observations.

Note on Thermalization of Non-resonantly Produced Sterile Neutrinos [PDF]
Using an analytic treatment, we discuss the parameter regions of large active-sterile neutrino mixing angles where sterile neutrinos produced in non-resonant flavour oscillations can approach thermalization in several cosmologies. We show that thermalization affects only large active-sterile neutrino mixing already rejected by different limits.

Logistical and Economic Advantages of Sterile-Packed, Single-Use Instruments for Total Knee Arthroplasty [PDF]
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is well established as a clinically successful and cost-effective procedure. The transition of the US healthcare system from a fee-for-service model to a value-based care model requires careful examination of patient care to ensure both quality and efficiency.
