Abstract:
This study explores the drivers and evolution of the shadow economy in Bosnia and Herzegovina—a transitional, post-conflict country facing persistent institutional fragility. Using the Multiple Indicators and Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model, an extension of Structural Equation Modeling, the paper estimates the size and dynamics of the shadow economy from 1996 to 2022. The model integrates macroeconomic indicators (employment rate, GDP per capita, tax revenues) and institutional variables (rule of law, control of corruption), with data primarily sourced from the World Bank.

Abstract:
Micro-/nano-structured scaffolds with a weight composition of 46.6% α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP)—53.4% silicocarnotite (SC) were synthesized by the polymer replica method. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the scaffolds and natural cancellous bone was performed for comparison purposes. Scaffolds were obtained at three cooling rates via the eutectoid temperature (50 °C/h, 16.5 °C/h, 5.5 °C/h), which allowed the surface nanostructure and mechanical strength to be controlled. Surface nanostructures were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman analysis.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a new model of measuring a latent variable, stock market manipulation. The model bears close resemblance with the literature on economic well-being. It interprets the manipulation of a stock as a latent variable, in the form of a multiple indicators and multiple causes (MIMIC) model. This approach exploits systematic relations between various indicators of manipulation and between manipulation and multiple causes, which allows it to identify the determinants of manipulation and an index of manipulation simultaneously. The main reason of stock market manipulation comes from

The pore size and pore distribution were characterized by SEM and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The effect of pore structures on Oryzasativa (O. sativa) growth was investigated.

Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanopowder has been synthesized by hydrothermal method. MnO2 was annealed at different temperatures (250, 400, 550, 700˚C). The crystal structure and surface morphology of these nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The catalase mimic activity (catalytic activity) of MnO2 against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was studied by using the new method and found that 400˚C is the best annealing temperature.

Music brought forth the otherworldly, and spoke to the possible transcendence of the human spirit. Yet, Poe's music differs from these Romantic notions in ways that, although not immediately perceptible in each individual instance, cohere to invert Romantic idealism. For Poe

Abstract A mature field located in UK sector of the North Sea, comprises one central platform with several subsea satellite tie-backs fabricated from carbon steel. Internal corrosion mitigation of these flowlines was based on the application of a combined scale/corrosion inhibitor. Following corrosion failures at the inlet sections (towhead) of the flowlines, the requirement for an effective inhibitor increased. Subsequent inspection of the towhead pipework revealed significant preferential weld corrosion. There had been improvements in inhibitor injection compliance; however, the selection of

Abstract:
Abstract Wire-bound packaging crates are used by the US Army to transport materials. Because these crates may be exposed to harsh environments, they are dip-treated with a wood preservative (biocide treatment). For many years, zinc-naphthenate was the most commonly used preservative for these packaging crates and few corrosion problems with the wires were observed. Recently, copper based alternatives to zinc naphthenate have been used, and corrosion problems have been observed. Here, we present the results of laboratory corrosion testing of 10 different wood treatments to see which preservativ

Abstract:
Abstract Polycrystalline Diamond Compact (PDC) cutters on PDC drill bits are the primary cutting elements to shear and scrape the formations during drilling process. In the PDC drill bit manufacturing, PDC cutters are attached onto drill bit with silver-copper-zinc alloys by brazing process. PDC cutters face the challenge of thermal degradation during this brazing process. This paper studies the development of an advanced coating on PDC cutter to mitigate its thermal degradation in the brazing process. The advanced coating is applied by physical vapor deposition process on PDC cutter. The coat

This paper presents the additive manufacturing of electrically conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanocomposites for in-situ strain sensing applications. A straight line of pristine PDMS was first 3D printed on a thin PDMS substrate using an in-house modified 3D printer. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were uniformly sprayed on top of uncured PDMS lines. An additional layer of PDMS was then applied on top of CNTs to form a thin protective coating. The 3D printed PDMS/CNT nanocomposites were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to validate the thickness, CNT distribution, and mi

Motivated by the high risks to the environment and human health imposed by the current overuse of chemical insecticides we offer an alternative approach for the design of highly active insect-selective compounds that will be based on the ability of natural toxins to differentiate between insect and mammalian targets. We wish to unravel the interacting surfaces of insect selective toxins with their receptor sites on voltage-gated sodium channels. In this proposal we put forward two recent observations that may expedite the development of a new generation of insect killers that mimic the highly

This paper presents a new comprehensive and consistent set of public transfer accounts, disaggregated by age and major government programs from 1950 to 2020. Based on these public transfer accounts, we find that except for some programs, particularly social health insurance and old-age pensions, the Philippines’ public transfer system as a whole is fiscally sustainable, with cumulative lifetime net contributions due to government across cohorts. The implied rates of return from key social protection programs also approximate market interest rates, especially when these programs are taken toget

Abstract:
Engineered cardiomyocytes made of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) present phenotypical characteristics similar to human fetal cardiomyocytes. There are different factors that are essential for engineered cardiomyocytes to be functional, one of them being that their mechanical properties must mimic those of adult cardiomyocytes. Techniques, such as electrical stimulation, have been used to improve the extracellular matrix's alignment and organization and improve the intracellular environment. Therefore, electrical stimulation could potentially be used to enhance the mechanical prope

Abstract:
State-owned enterprises (SOEs), including state-owned banks, can be both systemically and politically important for many economies. While many of these firms have been privatized in recent decades, for various political or practical reasons many are likely to remain 100 percent state-owned, which prevents them from obtaining a market-based valuation. Having a market signal for the value of SOEs could be desirable because it could help: (i) inform the treasury of the net present value (NPV) of expected cash flows; (ii) impose some discipline on management; (iii) signal changes in capture by ent
