Abstract We aim to understand the effect of market and firm-level concentration on return equity in Indian life microinsurance industry (LMI). This research is one first attempts empirically test structure–performance issues India. Using data 14 companies that remained active LMI during 2009–2019, we demonstrate firms scored better profitability measures whenever competitive pressures were lowe...

The concept of the “linear model of innovation” (LMI) was introduced by authors belonging to the field of innovation studies in the middle of the 1980s. According to the model, there is a simple sequence of steps going from basic science to innovations – an innovation being defined as an invention that is profitable. In innovation studies, the LMI is held to be assumed in Science the endless fr...

BACKGROUND Post-rest contraction (PRC) of cardiac muscle provides indirect information about the intracellular calcium handling. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to study the behavior of PRC, and its underlying mechanisms, in rats with myocardial infarction. METHODS Six weeks after coronary occlusion, the contractility of papillary muscles (PM) obtained from sham-operated (C, n=17), moderate infarcted...

New sufficient dilated linear matrix inequality LMI conditions for the H∞ static output feedback control problem of linear continuous-time systems with no uncertainty are proposed. The used technique easily and successfully extends to systems with polytopic uncertainties, by means of parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions PDLFs . In order to reduce the conservatism existing in early standard LM...

In this paper, a new method ofH∞ observer design for Lipschitz nonlinear systems is proposed in the form of an LMI optimization problem. The proposed observer has guaranteed decay rate (exponential convergence) and is robust against unknown exogenous disturbance. In addition, thanks to the linearity of the proposed LMIs in the admissible Lipschitz constant, it can be maximized via LMI optimizat...

Preterm birth (PTB) is a final common outcome resulting from many interrelated etiological pathways; of particular interest is antenatal psychosocial distress (i.e., stress, anxiety, and depression). In LMI countries, both exposure to severe life stressors and rate of PTB are on average greater when compared with high-income countries. In LMI countries women are exposed to some of the most extr...

In this paper, a new method of H filtering for Lipschitz nonlinear systems is proposed in the form of an LMI optimization problem. The proposed filter has guaranteed decay rate (exponential convergence) and is robust against unknown exogenous disturbance. In addition, thanks to the linearity of the proposed LMIs in the admissible Lipschitz constant, it can be maximized via LMI optimization. Th...

This paper presents investigations into the development of H∞ controller with pole clustering based on LMI techniques to control the payload positioning of INTECO 3D crane system with very minimal swing. The linear model of INTECO 3D crane system is obtained using the system identification process. Using LMI approach, the regional pole placement known as LMI region combined with design objectiv...

Body Mass Index has traditionally been used as a measure of health, but Fat Mass Index (FMI) and Lean Mass Index (LMI) have been shown to be more predictive of mortality and health risk. Total body FMI and LMI reference curves have particularly been useful in quantifying sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. Research has shown regional composition has significant associations to health outcomes. W...

Central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome (CAHS) is a rare and potentially fatal condition. However, respiratory care for patients with CAHS caused by lateral medullary infarction (CAHS-LMI) remains an important unsolved problem. We describe 2 patients with CAHS-LMI and review the case reports for 17 previously described patients. Patient 1 was a 78-year-old man who was referred to our hospital...
