Abstract This paper is a first attempt to provide quantitative evaluation of consumer well-being resulting from the UK Soft Drinks Industry Levy introduced in April 2018. Using model setup that encompasses both normal case and Giffen for sugary drinks consumption, computational exercise performed quantify welfare social loss variety household incomes. The demonstrates introduction soft levy res...

The memory gradient method is used for unconstrained optimization, especially large scale problems. The first idea of memory gradient method was proposed by Miele and Cantrell (1969) and Cragg and Levy (1969). In this paper, we present a new memory gradient method which generates a descent search direction for the objective function at every iteration. We show that our method converges globally...

FoUR major classes of lipid are found in human serum: cholesterol and its esters, triglyceride, phospholipids and non-esterified fatty acids. They exist in aqueous solution because they are combined with protein to form lipoprotein complexes. The non-esterified fatty acids are bound to albumin, and the other lipids are associated with certain serum globulins. The nomenclature of the lipoprotein...

This instrument test, classical assumption f test R² test. results are as follows: (i) lots...

We report that human walk patterns closely follow Levy walk patterns commonly observed in animals such as monkeys, birds and jackals. Our study is based on about one thousand hours of GPS traces involving 44 volunteers in various outdoor settings including two different college campuses, a metropolitan area, a theme park and a state fair. Important implications of this finding include that many...

We develop a heuristic model embedding Kleiber and Murray laws to describe mass growth, metastasis and vascularization in cancer. We analyze the relevant dynamics using different evolution equations (Verhulst, Gompertz and others). Their extension to reaction diffusion equation of the Fisher type is then used to describe the relevant metastatic spreading in space. Regarding this last point, we ...

Abstract Environmental perturbations and noise are source of mode mixing interferences between the propagating modes a complex multi-mode fiber. Typically, they characterized by their correlation (paraxial) length, spectral content which describes degree coupling various modes. We show that an appropriate control these quantities allows to engineer Levy-type relaxation processes initial excitat...

What are the costs of litigation? David M. Trubek the author of The Costs of Ordinary Litigation breaks down litigation into "events" to answer this question. Through a study that randomly sampled civil cases from federal district and state courts, data has been complied and broken down into categories or stated differently into "events of litigation." [1] The study's data focuses on an attorne...

we show how daubechies wavelets are used to solve kuramoto-sivashinsky type equations with periodic boundary condition‎. ‎wavelet bases are used for numerical solution of the kuramoto-sivashinsky type equations by galerkin method‎. ‎the numerical results in comparison with the exact solution prove the efficiency and accuracy of our method‎.
