Decentralized insurance can be used to describe risk sharing mechanisms under which participants trade risks among each other as opposed to passing risks mostly to an insurer in traditional centralized insurance. There are a wide range of decentralized practices in all kinds of forms developed...

This study proposed a deep neural network (DNN) model for the mortality rates of multiple populations, comprising the long short-term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) models. As mortality trends are reflected for a long period and summarizing the complicated dependency of...

Accurate diagnosis directly impacts service quality and resource allocation in healthcare operations. Advanced medical tests can improve doctors' diagnostic accuracy, but they are usually financially costly or infeasible for some patients. To achieve decent diagnostic performance when advanced...

Zinc (Zn) metal is a promising anode for aqueous batteries but is hindered by poor reversibility caused by dendrite growth and water-induced parasitic reactions (hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and Zn corrosion). Here, a dual-anion-coordinated Zn2+-solvation sheath involving the...

This paper studies the general behavior of the nominal and real term structures of interest rates in a general equilibrium framework. A central bank is introduced in the model as an agent facing a tradeoff between inflation and output and choosing a monetary policy variable. Prices and output...
