The latest report shows that traditional determinants of competitiveness remain necessary; however, they are no longer sufficient.

Dozens of machine learning algorithms require computing the inverse of a matrix. Computing a matrix inverse is conceptually easy, but implementation is one of the most challenging tasks in numerical ...

A recursive relation, relating leading principal minors, is developed for the determinant of a pentadiagonal matrix. A numerical example is included to indicate its use in calculating eigenvalues.

Race is not a social determinant of health (SDOH). This is because SDOHs are aspects of a person’s environment that affect their health, not aspects of themselves as individuals. However, racism can ...

In this study, we used longitudinal consumer data to examine changes in contextual determinants of health experienced by people living in neighborhoods undergoing gentrification. We focused on key ...
