Background: To date, evidence remained inconclusive explaining rural-urban and male-female differential in depression.Unlike other previous research on the association of several risk factors with depressive symptoms among the elderly, this study focussed on the socio-economic status-related inequality in the prevalence of depression among the elde

Paper-based friction materials used for wet clutches in automatic transmissions require various tribological functions such as a high and stable friction coefficient, good μ-V (friction coefficient-sliding velocity) characteristics, heat resistance, and wear resistance.In this study, microscale texture was formed on the surface of a paper-based

Using telematics data, we study the relationship between claim frequency and distance driven through different models by observing smooth Womens Boardshoarts functions.We used Generalized Additive Models (GAM) for a Poisson distribution, and Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale, and Shape (GAMLSS) that we generalize for panel count data.

This paper proposes the implementation of and experimentation with GPR for real-time automatic detection of buried IEDs.GPR, consisting of hardware and software, was implemented.A UWB antenna was designed and implemented, particularly for the operation of the GPR.The experiments were conducted in order to demonstrate the real-time automatic detecti

This study investigates individual preferences for work arrangements in a discrete choice Left Moving Arm experiment.Based on sociological and economic literature, we identified six essential job attributes-earnings, job security, training opportunities, scheduling flexibility, prestige of the company, and gender composition of the work team-and ma
