Community health workers: efficacy, taxonomy, and performance by Ballard, M

“…</p> <p><b>Conclusion:</b> In bringing the tools of evidence based practice to bear on community health worker interventions, this dissertation has contributed to the theoretical, methodological, and empirical evidence base from which the field can continue to advance.…”

A Tensor Compiler with Automatic Data Packing for Simple and Efficient Fully Homomorphic Encryption by Krastev, Aleksandar, Samardzic, Nikola, Langowski, Simon, Devadas, Srinivas, Sanchez, Daniel

“…Specifically, FHE requires packing encrypted data into large vectors (tens of thousands of elements long), FHE provides limited operations on these vectors, and values have noise that grows with each operation, which creates unintuitive performance tradeoffs. …”

Microsecond dark-exciton valley polarization memory in two-dimensional heterostructures by Jiang, Chongyun, Xu, Weigao, Rasmita, Abdullah, Huang, Zumeng, Li, Ke, Xiong, Qihua, Gao, Wei-bo

“…Previous results showed that it is around picosecond in monolayer excitons, nanosecond for local excitons and tens of nanosecond for interlayer excitons. Here we show that the dark excitons in two-dimensional heterostructures provide a microsecond valley polarization memory thanks to the magnetic field induced suppression of valley mixing. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Fu, Kangkang

“…Moreover, from the principal customers’ perspective, a higher level of environmental risk lowers a supplier firm’s probability of being selected relative to its industry peers by its potential customer. Conditional on an ongoing relationship with principal customers, supplier firms with high environmental risk have lower sales to principal customers and shorter relationship durations. …”

Investigating the role of self-sacrificing prosociality in intragroup and intergroup contexts by Katna, Dashalini P.

“…Parochial cooperation theories assume that strongly self-sacrificing members primarily desire and seek to achieve ingroup-favouring outcomes, and consequently become prepared to bear extreme costs to themselves. This altruism to help, however, does not always extend into intergroup contexts. …”

论李世民音乐政治观对儒家礼乐思想的继承和转化 = A study on Li Shimin music-politics: inheritance and transformation of Confucian ritual and music thought by 许惠佳 Koh, Hwee Kay

“…To a certain extent, he had inherited Yueji, Confucian ritual and Music thought - which extensively covers the social influence and educational function of music to society – while at the same time, his Music-politics thought bears much resemblance to those of Ji Kang. This article hopes to explore in detail Li Shimin’s Music-politics thought, and by using Yueji as a comparison, analyses how his inheritance and transformation of Confucian Ritual and Music thought played an important role in shaping the Tang Culture.…”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”

A high‐resolution AUV navigation framework with integrated communication and tracking for under‐ice deployments by Randeni, Supun, Schneider, Toby, Bhatt, EeShan C., Víquez, Oscar A., Schmidt, Henrik

“…To decouple the contributions from the HydroMAN and ICNN subsystems towards a stable navigation solution, this article evaluates them separately: (1) HydroMAN was compared against DVL bottom‐track aided INS during pre‐ICEX20 engineering trials where both systems provided similar accuracy; (2) ICNN was evaluated by conducting a static experiment in the Arctic where the ICNN navigation updates were compared against GPS with ICNN error within low tens of meters. The joint HydroMAN‐ICNN framework was tested during ICEX20, which provided a nondiverging high‐resolution navigation solution—with the majority of error below 15 m—that facilitated a successful AUV recovery through a small ice hole after an 11 km untethered run in the upper and mid‐water column.…”
