Price dynamics in Indian cities were examined using cointegration analysis. We identified and calculated a common trend for prices in 25 major cities in India. Impulse response functions were obtained to calculate the rates of convergence to the prices and we found that the half-life of any shock is very small for Indian cities. Although a close to three-month half-life seems too fast, there is...

Long waiting times for inpatient treatment in the UK National Health Service have long been a source of great popular and political concern, and therefore a target for policy initiatives. One such is the London Patient Choice Project, under which patients at risk of breaching inpatient waiting time targets were offered the choice of an alternative hospital with a guaranteed shorter wait. This p...

The sinking of lithosphere at subduction zones couples Earth’s exterior with its interior, spawns continental crust and powers a tectonic regime that is unique to our planet. In spite of its importance, it is unclear how subduction is initiated. Two general mechanisms are recognized: induced and spontaneous nucleation of subduction zones. Induced nucleation (INSZ) responds to continuing plate c...

The purpose of this paper is to provide two numerical methods for solving the elastic body-plate problem by nonoverlapping domain decomposition type techniques, based on the discretization method by Wang. The first one is similar to an older method, but here the corresponding Schur complement matrix is preconditioned by a specific preconditioner associated with the plate problem. The second one...

The moisture budget associated with the eastward-propagating Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) was diagnosed using 1979–2001 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data. A marked zonal asymmetry of the moisture relative to the MJO convection appears in the planetary boundary layer (PBL, below 700 hPa), creating a potentially more unstable stratification to the east of the MJO convection and favoring th...

Abstract The closure of a subduction zone with continental terrane collision and accretion is generally thought to be followed by the initiation new in neighboring oceanic plate, which suggested happen repeatedly during evolution Tethyan system. Although Indian‐Asian has occurred for >50 Myrs, there still no clear sign (SI) northern Indian puzzling issue requires further investigations. This...

BACKGROUND In 2006, the Health Service Executive (HSE) in Ireland established an Expert Advisory Group (EAG) for Diabetes, to act as its main source of operational policy and strategic advice for this chronic condition. The process was heralded as the starting point for the development of formal chronic disease management programmes. Although recommendations were published in 2008, implementati...

We investigate the C interior penalty Galerkin (C IPG) method for biharmonic eigenvalue problems with the boundary conditions of the clamped plate, the simply supported plate and the Cahn-Hilliard type. We prove the convergence of the method and present numerical results to illustrate its performance. We also compare the C IPG method with the Argyris C finite element method, the Ciarlet-Raviart...
