BACKGROUND Financial risk protection and equity are major components of universal health coverage (UHC), which is defined as ensuring access to health services for all citizens without any undue financial burden. We investigated progress towards UHC financial risk indicators and assessed variability of inequalities in financial risk protection indicators by wealth quintile. We further examined ...

In [1], Berger and Colmez introduced a theory of families of étale (φ,Γ)-modules associated to families of p-adic Galois representations. Inspired by their works, we consider families of φ-modules over a reduced affinoid algebra where the base is fixed by Frobenius actions. We prove some results in this framework including the semicontinuity of variation of HN-polygons. These results will be ap...

Let X be a p-divisible group over a regular scheme S such that the Newton polygon in each geometric point of S is the same. Then there is a p-divisible group isogenous to X which has a slope filtration.

For years, the scientific and medical communities have pondered the role of triglycerides in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality risk. Although several studies have shown a relationship between elevated triglyceride levels and CVD, the degree to which triglycerides are independently associated and whether triglycerides directly cause CVD has been hotly debated. This is in contradistincti...

Successful implementation of best management practices for reducing non-point source (NPS) pollution requires knowledge of the location of saturated areas that produce runoff. A physically-based, fully-distributed, GISintegrated model, the Soil Moisture Distribution and Routing (SMDR) model was developed to simulate the hydrologic behavior of small rural upland watersheds with shallow soils and...
