Using county level data from 1969-200 and various OLS and TSLS models, we find that increases in local per capita earnings and employment lowers voter turnout in gubernatorial and Senate elections but has not effect on Presidential turnout. We present a model in which risk-averse agents vote only if sufficiently informed about political candidates. When agents work more, as they do in periods o...

Rational expectations dictate that firms respond to shifts in the hospital payment system as a result of health sector reform. To determine the impact of system reform on levels of hospital diversification and operating ratio for 88 teaching hospitals and 88 community hospitals during the period 2005 – 2010. The 44 teaching hospitals are matched with 44 other teaching hospitals experiencing the...

One application of nanotechnology in medicine that is presently being developed involves a drug delivery system (DDS) employing nanoparticles to deliver drugs to diseased sites in the body avoiding damage of healthy tissue. Recently, the mild hyperthermia-triggered drug delivery combined with anticancer agent-loaded thermosensitive liposomes was widely investigated. In this study, thermosensiti...

The current and planned synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors mounted on satellite platforms will continue to operate over the coming years, providing unprecedented SAR data for monitoring wide-range surface deformations. near real-time processing of interferometry (InSAR) retrieval ground-deformation time series is urgently required in era big data. state-of-the-art Kalman filter (KF) sequent...

This paper investigates the massive connectivity of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based Internet-of-Things (IoT) for seamless global coverage. We propose to integrate grant-free non-orthogonal multiple access (GF-NOMA) paradigm with emerging orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) modulation accommodate IoT access, and mitigate long round-trip latency severe Doppler effect terrestrial–satellit...
