Americans over age 65 constitute a larger percentage of the population each year: from 14% in 2010 (40 million elderly) to possibly 20% in 2030 (70 million elderly). In 2015, an estimated 66 million people provided care to the ill, disabled, and elderly in the United States. In 2000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 15 million Americans used some form of long-term care: adult day care, home health, nursing home, or hospice. In all, 13% of people over 85 years old, compared with 1% of those ages 65 to 74, live in nursing homes in the United States. Transitions

Abstract:
Financial analyst commonly advice individual investors with a long investment horizon to invest in portfolios comprised more of equities. This advice is usually coupled with the practice of shifting the investor's portfolio from risky asset holdings towards bonds and cash as the investor's target date gets closer. This view rests on the notion that equities tend to be less risky over the long horizon and that stock returns exhibit mean reversion overtime. The purpose of this dissertation is to find the optimal asset allocation over various investment horizons; and investigate how

Abstract:
Lentiviruses have paradoxically fast short-term rate of evolution and slow long-term rate of evolution, which differ by several orders of magnitude. In this thesis, with a new method called truncated tree analysis, slower rates of evolution of transmitted viruses were estimated. However, the rate decline of the transmitted viruses is limited, and is not sufficient to explain the dramatic difference between the short-term and long-term evolutionary rates. These dramatically different rates were reconciled by an S shaped curve based on the new trend observed from this thesis. In the middle part

This thesis analyses the effects of expanding public Long-Term Care (LTC) benefits in Spain, using three different approaches. In the first chapter, I estimate the impact of public LTC allowances on the mortality of the beneficiaries. My results suggest that providing care prevents a deterioration in health, such that death is postponed when the level of needs is low or moderate. In the second chapter –with Garc´ıa-G´omez, L´opez-Casasnovas and Vidiella-Martin–, we assess the equity of the access of public LTC.

Hollow fiber membranes are widely used in blood oxygenators to remove carbon dioxide and add oxygen during cardiopulmonary bypass operations. These devices are now widely used off-label by physicians to perform extracorporeal blood oxygenation for patients with lung failure. Unfortunately, the hollow fiber membranes used in these devices fail prematurely due to blood plasma leakage and gas emboli formation. This project formed ultrathin (~100nm) polymer coatings on polymer hollow fiber membranes. The coatings were intended to “block” existing pores on the exterior surfaces while permitting hig

The present thesis examined the issue of inhibitory processes in long-term memory. Several theoretical frameworks, which posit various loci of an inhibitory mechanism, have been examined. The locus of an inhibitory mechanism was investigated within the retrieval practice paradigm, in which inhibition is recruited against information that competes for memory access during retrieval, and within the list-method directed forgetting paradigm, in which inhibition is voluntarily recruited.

Seven bars of three steel type groups and with different rolling dates were selected and examined for defects with ultrasonic testing. Four of the bars show defects.

Abstract:
This study discusses an implementation of a long term memory in the robot Furhat. The idea was to find a way to prevent identical and very similar questions from being asked several times and to store the information of which questions have already been asked in a document database. The project encompasses tf-idf, as well as a small-scale test with Word2Vec, to find a vector representation of all questions from Furhat’s database and then clustering these questions with the k-means method. The tests resulted in high scores on all the evaluation metrics used, which is promising for implementatio

Abstract:
Medicanes, strong mesoscale cyclones with tropical-like features (axis-symmetry, a warm core, a cloud-free eye surrounded by a spiral-shaped cloud cover, winds up to the hurricane speed), are known to develop occasionally over the Mediterranean Sea. Medicanes are considered rare phenomena, the number of observed cases documented in the literature is around ten. 
However, due to the scarcity of observations over sea and the coarse resolution of the long-term reanalysis datasets, it is difficult to construct homogeneous statistics of the formation of medicanes. In this thesis, using an approach
