Abstract American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals are more likely to die with COVID-19 than other groups, but there is limited empirical evidence to explain the cause of this inequity.The objective of this study was to determine whether CPAP Pillows medical comorbidities, area socioeconomic deprivation, or access to treatment can expla

Abstract We propose a multi-agent learning approach for designing crowdsourcing contests and All-Pay auctions.Prizes in contests incentivise contestants to expend effort on their entries, with different prize allocations resulting Waxed Hats in different incentives and bidding behaviors.In contrast to auctions designed manually by economists, our m

The accumulation of large amounts of steel slag (SS) and oil shale residue (OSR) causes serious pollution due to the lack of effective ways to utilize them.In this study, OSR, SS, and soda residue (SR) were used to synergistically prepare all-solid-waste low-carbon cemented backfill material (ALCCB).No cement and chemical additives were added to th

A common idea in the Straight Spatulas discussion of soil carbon processes is that litter decomposition rates and soil carbon stocks are inversely related.To test this overall hypothesis, simultaneous studies were conducted of the relationship of environmental gradients to leaf and wood decomposition, buried cloth decomposition and percent soil org

This paper investigates the consensus problem for multiagent systems with nonlinear dynamics and time delays.A distributed adaptive consensus protocol is proposed in which the time delays are explicitly included in the adaptive algorithm.It Ski de fond - Enfant - Bottes - Classic is shown that the resultant closed loop system involves doubly larger
