The increasing dependence of South Asian countries on international remittances (IRM) and tourism development (ITR) in the presence political uncertainties has attracted scholars' attention. Although largest receiver IRM, Asia fails to channel these funds industry, which continues operate below its potential. This study estimates impact stability (PS), their interaction with foreign direct inve...

La Bili-IRM est une méthode diagnostique d’introduction relativement récente dans l’arsenal d’exploration de la pathologie bilio-pancréatique. Il s’agit d’une technique fiable reproductible et non invasive, permettant la visualisation directe des voies biliaires et pancréatiques. Le but de ce travail était d’étudier les aspects morphologiques des principales anomalies et d’évaluer la place de l...

Learning models that are robust to distribution shifts is a key concern in the context of their real-life applicability. Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) popular framework aims learn from multiple environments. The success IRM requires an important assumption: underlying causal mechanisms/features remain invariant across When not satisfied, we show can over-constrain predictor and remedy this,...

Despite impressive success in many tasks, deep learning models are shown to rely on spurious features, which will catastrophically fail when generalized out-of-distribution (OOD) data. Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM) is proposed alleviate this issue by extracting domain-invariant features for OOD generalization. Nevertheless, recent work shows that IRM only effective a certain type of distrib...

Solidia CementTM is a non-hydraulic cement composed primarily of low-lime containing calcium silicate phases such as wollastonite / pseudowollastonite (CaO·SiO2), and rankinite (3CaO·2SiO2). This contrasts the high-lime alite (3CaO·SiO2), belite (2CaO·SiO2), tricalcium aluminate (3CaO·Al2O3), tetracalcium aluminum ferrite (4CaO·Al2O3·Fe2O3), and gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) phases that comprise ordinary...

BACKGROUND Although shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for osteoarthritis, loosening of the glenoid component, which mainly occurs at the bone-cement interface, remains a major concern. Presently, the mechanical effect of the cement mantel thickness on the bone-cement interface is still unclear. METHODS Finite element analysis of a prosthetic scapula was used to evaluate the effec...

Abstract. In light of recent pink bollworm (PBW) pest infestations in several cotton-producing states India, farmers genetically engineered Bt cotton (Bt for Bacillus thuringiensis) have faced fierce criticism their noncompliance with the national insect resistance management (IRM) strategy. We argue that this is short-sighted and one-dimensional. Building upon literature on policy assemblages ...
