Major efforts are underway to develop fusion energy for use in electric power production in the furture. While fusion reactor concepts are being developed, appropriate attention must be given to problems relvant to the utility requirements which are likely to be encountered in the commercialization phase. In this paper the expected fusion plant availability is assessed in detail due to the impo...

For a developed market economy, the COVID-19 crisis is new type of crisis, but such has parallels with economies at other times, and crises in many places. We discuss some mechanisms from traditional macro literature on macroeconomics for developing countries. Phenomena as bottlenecks, rationing, forced savings, production constrained by access to inputs, liquidity constraints, sector heterogen...

background: various variance reduction techniques such as forced detection (fd) have been implemented in monte carlo (mc) simulation of nuclear medicine in an effort to decrease the simulation time while keeping accuracy. however most of these techniques still result in very long mc simulation times for being implemented into routine use. materials and methods: convolution-based forced detectio...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to examine racial/ethnic disparities in being forced to have sexual intercourse against one's will, and the effect of substance use on these disparities. METHODS We analyzed data from adolescent women participating in the Youth Risk Behavior Survey.
