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 new method for enhancing high- k /metal-gate stack performance and reliability for high- k last integration by Yew, K. S., Tang, L. J., Ang, Diing Shenp

“…We show that multistep deposition cum two-step annealing, comprising an ultraviolet ozone (UVO) anneal followed by a low-temperature rapid thermal anneal (RTA), can significantly improve the performance and reliability of a 7.5-Å-equivalent-oxide-thickness (EOT) HfO2/TiN gate stack, comprising a 25-Å HfO2 on ~3 Å SiOx, i.e., prepared from direct HfO2 deposition onto an HF-last Si surface. …”

Discovering and forecasting extreme events via active learning in neural operators by Pickering, Ethan, Guth, Stephen, Karniadakis, George Em, Sapsis, Themistoklis P

“…We show that not only does this framework outperform Gaussian processes, but that (1) shallow ensembles of just two members perform best; (2) extremes are uncovered regardless of the state of the initial data (that is, with or without extremes); (3) our method eliminates 'double-descent' phenomena; (4) the use of batches of suboptimal acquisition samples compared to step-by-step global optima does not hinder BED performance; and (5) Monte Carlo acquisition outperforms standard optimizers in high dimensions. …”
