For thousands of passengers and crew, routine leisure sailings through Gulf and Red Sea ports have become uncertain waiting games, as ships alter routes, delay departures or remain docked amid security concerns.
China set its lowest economic growth target in decades on Thursday, announcing it would aim for 4.5-5% expansion for 2026 as the world’s second-largest economy grapples with weak domestic demand and an uncertain global outlook.
Potentially thousands of cruise passengers in Doha are facing uncertainty after regional airspace closures linked to escalating tensions between Israel, Iran and the US grounded flights across the Middle East disrupting travel plans and extending what was meant to be the end of a…
The latest Middle East conflict continues spiraling days after Israel and the US launched their joint operation on Iran, triggering retaliatory strikes on Israel and neighboring Gulf states and plunging the region into fear and uncertainty.
This paper studies how international investors' concerns about model misspecification affect sovereign bond spreads. We develop a general equilibrium model of sovereign debt with endogenous default wherein investors fear that the probability model of...

Burstable billing is widely adopted in practice, e.g., by colocation data center providers, to charge for their users, e.g., data centers, for data transferring. However, there is still a lack of research on what the best way is for a user to manage...
Dec 11, 2025 · To keep it simple, the focus keyword “what does sera mean” boils down to a fun, informal slang term expressing uncertainty or casual hope — basically a chill “maybe” or “we shall see.”
Troy weight is a system of units of mass whose origin is uncertain. By far the most common troy unit is the troy ounce (oz t), the standard mass unit for
Pay increases in 2026 are holding steady. Economic uncertainty, employee expectations for merit increases to exceed inflation, and a weakening labor market are forcing employers to make careful,...
Impurity diffusion in Zr is potentially important for many applications of Zr alloys, and in particular for their use of nuclear reactor cladding. However, significant uncertainty presently exists about which elements are vacancy vs. interstitial dif...
Jan 16, 2011 · Why have a letter in a word when it’s silent in pronunciation, like the b in debt? Can anyone please clarify my uncertainty here?
Hadfield-Menell et al. (2017) propose the Off-Switch Game, a model of Human-AI cooperation in which AI agents always defer to humans because they are uncertain about our preferences. I explain two reasons why AI agents might not defer. First, AI agen...
how much uncertainty is present in a curve that is fitted to data observed with random errors. Fitted curves can be used as an aid for data visualization
The conventional hadron-resonance gas (HRG) model with the Particle Data Group (PDG) hadron input, full chemical equilibrium, and the hadron type dependent eigenvolume interactions is employed to fit the hadron mid-rapidity yield data of ALICE Collab...
The irregular satellites of outer planets are thought to have been captured from heliocentric orbits. The exact nature of the capture process, however, remains uncertain. We examine the possibility that irregular satellites were captured from the pla...

The development of electronic commerce is characterized with anonymity, uncertainty, lack of control and potential opportunism. Therefore, the success of electronic commerce significantly depends on providing security and privacy for its consumers...
Despite the rapid expansion of Large Language Models (LLMs) in healthcare, robust and explainable evaluation of their ability to assess clinical trial reporting according to CONSORT standards remains an open challenge. In particular, uncertainty cali...
Cloud users have little visibility into the performance characteristics and utilization of the physical machines underpinning the virtualized cloud resources they use. This uncertainty forces users and researchers to reverse engineer the inner workin...
We develop an approach to incorporate additional knowledge, in the form of general purpose integrity constraints (ICs), to reduce uncertainty in probabilistic databases. While incorporating ICs improves data quality (and hence quality of answers to...
Feb 16, 2026 · The Miami Dolphins released star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, 31, on Monday.. Hill's future in the NFL is uncertain after a season-ending injury.
This work affords new insights into Bayesian CART in the context of structured wavelet shrinkage. The main thrust is to develop a formal inferential framework for Bayesian tree-based regression. We reframe Bayesian CART as a g-type prior which depart...
Self-adaptive systems are capable of adjusting their behavior to cope with the changes in environment and itself. These changes may cause runtime uncertainty, which refers to the system state of failing to achieve appropriate reconfigurations. Howeve...
