Logic-controlled solid state switchgear for 270 volts dc [PDF]
A feasibility study to design and demonstrate solid state switchgear in the form of circuit breakers and a power transfer switch is described. The switchgear operates on a nominal 270 V dc circuit and controls power to a load of up to 15 amperes.

Medical Knowledge Integration Into Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Dynamic Treatment Regimes
Summary The goal of precision medicine is to provide individualised treatment at each stage of chronic diseases, a concept formalised by dynamic treatment regimes (DTR). These regimes adapt treatment strategies based on decision rules learned from clinical data to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.

Bias Adjustment for Mean Squared Error Estimation in M‐Quantile Models for Small Area Estimation
Summary M‐quantile (MQ) regression provides a robust and flexible alternative to mixed models for small area estimation. However, several theoretical aspects remain underexplored. In this paper, a parametric bootstrap method is proposed to approximate the distributions of area‐specific MQ coefficients and applied to adjust the bias in the mean squared ...

The Impact of Canada's Working Income Tax Benefit on the Labor Supply of Low‐Income Workers
ABSTRACT We use administrative tax data to estimate the effect of the Working Income Tax Benefit (WITB) on the labor supply of single, low‐income workers in Canada. Our analytical approach exploits low knowledge of the program, which generates variation in the benefit receipt both between and within eligible tax filers over time.

Assessing the Employee Welfare Impact of Right‐To‐Work Laws: Insights From State‐Level Legislation
ABSTRACT We examine the effect of right‐to‐work (RTW) laws on employee welfare using the stacked difference‐in‐differences (DiD) methodology. We posit that RTW laws weaken collective bargaining power, increase free riding, and ultimately reduce employee welfare. We document a significant employee welfare decline following RTW adoption, especially among

The Spatial Anatomy of Working at Home: Concepts, Measures and Types of Spaces Used
ABSTRACT This article provides a spatial analysis of working at home. It makes distinctions according to the extent to which the boundaries of work and home spatially overlap. Using this conceptual lens, it deploys data from Britain′s Skills and Employment Survey to track the trends and patterns of homeworking and hybrid working over the last two ...

Local Networks and New Business Formation
ABSTRACT New business formation is a key driver of regional transformation and development. While we know that a region's attractiveness for new businesses depends on its resources, infrastructure, and human capital, we know little about the role of local business networks in promoting or impeding the birth of new firms.
