The Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) 2011 report on the health of LGBT people pointed out that there are limited health data on these populations and that we need more research. It also described what we do know about LGBT health disparities, including lower rates of cervical cancer screening among lesbians, and mental health issues related to minority stress. Patient disclosure of LGBT identity...

In this paper, we consider an explicit exponential method of classical order two for the time discretisation of quasi-linear parabolic problems. The numerical scheme is based on a Magnus integrator and requires the evaluation of two exponentials per step. Our convergence analysis includes parabolic partial differential equations under a Dirichlet boundary condition and provides error estimates ...

Frequency-adaptive prefilters are widely used in the phase-locked loop (PLL) to suppress input disturbances. However, parameters of PLL and often designed separately or based on an inaccurate model. The positive feedback effect introduced by frequency adaption (FA) is usually ignored, leading non-optimal performance. Based accurate small-signal model with a particular focus FA, this paper propo...

Symplectic integrators are extensively used for single particle tracking in accelerators. A symplectic integrator scheme, which involves only positive steps, for perturbed Hamiltonians of the form H = A + B, where both A and B are integrable, was proposed [1], and all order of such integrators were derived [2]. A particular member of the family, namely the SABA2 integrator has already proved to...

This paper introduces a novel out-loop compensation scheme with selective filtering stage for Type-1 Frequency Locked Loop (FLL) to obtain the same features of Type-2 FLL in response frequency drift. The proposed can eliminate phase angle error during drift without compromising its benefits low order control system. performance Type1-c is evaluated alternatively employed Delayed Signal Cancella...

Grid synchronization techniques play a significant role in integrating renewable energy sources to the electric power grid. In this context, estimating phase and frequency of grid voltage signal is an interesting problem. Out various available literature, linear Kalman filter (LKF) one most popular one. article, we propose alternative implementation LKF for application. The proposed uses parame...

Abstract This article addresses the concern that decision-making in sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI) asylum claims Europe is often unfair, and one way to remedy this by improving guidance provided decision-makers when interpreting Refugee Convention respect of these claims. We begin interrogating a number different guidelines models assess whether they contribute fairer system. show...
