Structural inertia is the overall capacity of an organization to adapt within a market environment. This paper reviews the impact of healthcare investments in information management/information technology (IM/IT) on the strategic management concept of structural inertia. Research indicates that healthcare executives should consider the relative state of structural inertia for their firms and match them with potential IM/IT solutions. Additionally, organizations should favorably consider IM/IT solutions that are comparatively less complex.

This paper presents the results of experimental tests and computer simulations on the stiffness of composite aluminium mullions used in unitised façades. The elements analysed were subjected to bending in order to simulate the actual operating conditions of aluminium façades subjected to significant wind pressure or suction loads. The basic mechanical and physical properties of the materials from which the analysed type of aluminium façade is made (Aluminium EN AW-6060 in the T66 temper and polyamide PA66 25GF), the test method, and the results obtained are described.

Carbon catalysts have shown promise as an alternative to the currently available energy-intensive approaches for nitrogen fixation (NF) to urea, NH, or related nitrogenous compounds. The primary challenges for NF are the natural inertia of nitrogenous molecules and the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Recently, carbon-based materials have made significant progress due to their tunable electronic structure and ease of defect formation.

Bones develop to structurally balance strength and mobility. Bone developmental dynamics are influenced by whether an animal is ambulatory at birth (, precocial). Precocial species, such as goats, develop advanced skeletal maturity in utero, making them useful models for studying the dynamics of bone formation under mechanical load.

Background: Health care innovation faces significant challenges, including system inertia and diverse stakeholders, making regulated market access pathways essential for facilitating the adoption of new technologies. The German Digital Healthcare Act, introduced in 2019, offers a model by enabling digital health applications (DiGAs) to be reimbursed by statutory health insurance, improving market access and patient empowerment. However, the factors influencing the success of these pathways in driving innovation remain unclear.

Multilevel thresholding image segmentation is one of the widely used image segmentation methods, and it is also an important means of medical image preprocessing. Replacing the original costly exhaustive search approach, swarm intelligent optimization algorithms are recently used to determine the optimal thresholds for medical image, and medical images tend to have higher bit depth. Aiming at the drawbacks of premature convergence of existing optimization algorithms for high-bit depth image segmentation, this paper presents a pyramid particle swarm optimization based on complementary inertia weights (CIWP-PSO), and the Kapur entropy is employed as the optimization objective.
