This paper argues that gasoline price fluctuations affect inflation through changes in consumer expectations about future energy costs. More precisely, we use data from the US Michigan Survey of Consumers and estimate a Structural VAR model to show that long-run gasoline price expectati...

This study explored the behavioural intention of university students in Malaysia to use multisensory digital learning applications encompassing vision, audition, kinaesthesis, olfaction, gustation and thermoception. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) technology anxiety has a direct and negative effect on ...

Rising urbanisation and global population growth are projected to nearly double municipal solid waste (MSW) generation by 2050. Energy-from-waste (EfW) technologies recover energy from mixed waste streams, generating electricity and heat. However, for every tonne of MSW incinerated, 0.7–1.7 tonnes...

The legal appraisal of civilian mental harm amounting to trauma is something that has been discussed by international scholars when it comes to warfare and its aftermath, but no discussion has taken place on how such civilian war trauma can be compensated for. The question...

A novel method has been introduced for measuring the surface impedance of composite material sheets at microwave frequencies. A length of circular waveguide is manufactured using the fibre-reinforced composite material and its scattering parameters are measured with the use of a network ...

Post-World War II Soviet intelligence illegals operations in the United States and Canada started strong in the 1940s and 1950s. However, as they experienced increasing counterintelligence pressure through penetrations, defections, and double agents, it became harder for Soviet services to place&...

Extremile regression, as a least squares analog of quantile regression, is potentially a useful tool for modeling and understanding the extreme tails of a distribution. However, existing extremile regression methods, as nonparametric approaches, may face challenges in high-dimensional settings due...

Falls in older adults are a significant public health concern. Action simulation interventions involving action observation and/or motor imagery have been proposed as alternative or adjunct strategies to physical exercise for reducing fall risk. These approaches may minimize barriers to phys...

A search for heavy neutral gauge bosons ((Formula presented)) decaying into a pair of tau leptons is performed in proton-proton collisions at (Formula presented) at the CERN LHC. The data were collected with the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of (Formula&#x...
