background: one of the main challenges of healthcare systems of developing countries is health inequality. health inequality means inequality in individuals’ ability and proper functioning, resulting in inequality in social status and living conditions, which thwarts social interventions implemented by the government. objectives: this study aimed to determine and prioritize the social determina...

Phenotypic change in response to variation in environmental cues has been widely documented in fish. Transitions in social dominance, in particular, have been shown to induce a rapid switch in reproductive phenotypes in many species. However, this effect has been mainly studied in adults and focused on behavioural transitions. The way social cues constraint the phenotypic development of juvenil...

In this paper, by using the Euler-Maclaurin expansion for the Riemann-$zeta$ function, we establish an inequality of a weight coefficient. Using this inequality, we derive a new reverse Hilbert's type inequality. As an applications, an equivalent form is obtained.

abstract issue: in economic literature, there are two hypotheses regarding the link between economic development and gender inequality. the first gender inequality decreases with economic development. second, economic development increases gender inequality. this research is conducted to investigate the effects of economic development on gender inequality according to kuznets gender curve in ir...

This paper represents a practical and economical alternative to manual deburring. Several passive end-effectors have been designed, built and tested to meet the robotic deburring requirements. The compliancy in these end-effectors allow for robot position uncertainties relative to the parts. A set of experiments have been carried out to show the effectiveness of the end-effectors performance in...
