The transition from Millennium Development Goals to Sustainable Development Goals has substantially shifted the policy debate from development to inclusive development. Using interactive quantile regressions, we examine the correlations between mobile banking and inclusive development (quality of growth, inequality and poverty) among individuals in 93 developing countries for the year 2011. Mob...

Designing for a wider range of population has recently been propagated by new design philosophies and approaches such as Universal Design, Design for All and Inclusive Design. Compared with the other two approaches, Inclusive Design approach seems to be more practical in that it provides a framework for implementation (Keates et al., 2000). It also features a gradual strategy, which incorporate...

The evolution of sterile worker castes in eusocial insects was a major problem in evolutionary theory until Hamilton developed a method called inclusive fitness. He used it to show that sterile castes could evolve via kin selection, in which a gene for altruistic sterility is favored when the altruism sufficiently benefits relatives carrying the gene. Inclusive fitness theory is well supported ...

Much of our knowledge about QCD and the structure of hadrons (mainly nucleons) has been gained from Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) experiments such as eN → eX or νN → μX . The (inclusive) cross sections are determined by structure functions F1 and F2 when summing over beam and target polarisations (and an additional F3 when using neutrino beams), and g1, g2 when both the beam and target are su...

INCLUSive is a suite of algorithms and tools for the analysis of gene expression data and the discovery of cis-regulatory sequence elements. The tools allow normalization, filtering and clustering of microarray data, functional scoring of gene clusters, sequence retrieval, and detection of known and unknown regulatory elements using probabilistic sequence models and Gibbs sampling. All tools ar...

Inclusive business is described as private sector-led business initiatives that aim to profi tably engage low-income populations across productive value chains. Th is paper aims to quantify the impact of businesses implementing inclusive business strategies to determine the value to local communities as well as the tourism business. Th e research reviews the direct impact of the business on com...

INTRODUCTION The U.S. obesity epidemic is escalating, particularly among communities of color. Obesity control efforts have shifted away from individual-level approaches toward population-based approaches that address socio-cultural, political, economic, and physical environmental factors. Few data exist for ethnic minority groups. This article reviews studies of population-based interventions ...

In this paper, we evaluate the expectation values of four-quark operators for the inclusive beauty decays from the differences in the inclusive total decay rates, assuming that the heavy quark expansion converges at O(1/m). The obtained expectation values values yeilds the ratio τ(Λb)/τ(B) close to the experimental value. We further point out that the quark-hadron duality violation would be rat...

The inclusive edge (vertex, mixed) connectivity of a vertex v is the minimum number of edges (vertices, graph elements) whose removal yields a subgraph in which v is a cutvertex. Stability under edge addition, in which the value of the parameter remains unchanged with the addition of any edge, is investigated. In particular we examine relationships between stability of the inclusive vertex conn...
