description: .Using this large data set, the paper also shows that this relationship between the extensive margin and growth in total trade is stronger over longer time horizons. This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "Using a panel of 1,900 country pairs, we find that increasedtrade of these “least-traded goods” is an important factor in trade growth." [Tested with] ordinary least squares estimates of equation (1), where the growth rate of the least-traded goods between countries n and m is regressed on the growth rate of total trade, is in Table 2. The portion of Table 2 that’s selected is Column (1), SITC2 (Standard International Trade Classification, rev. 2). Focal independent variable is “Horizon (Years) = 10”. Over the entire sample (k=10), the coefficient on total trade growth is 3.59, meaning that a 10 percent increase in total trade is accompanied by a 35.9 percent increase in the extensive margin. [Coefficient for “Horizon (Years) = 10” with robust standard errors of 0.402, ***].

description: In our previous paper, we provided general effective Higgs interactions for the lightest Higgs boson $h$ (SM-like) and a heavier neutral Higgs boson $H$ based on the effective Lagrangian formulation up to the dim-6 interactions, and then proposed two sensitive processes for probing $H$. We showed in several examples that the resonance peak of $H$ and its dim-6 effective coupling constants (ECC) can be detected at the LHC Run 2 with reasonable integrated luminosity. In this paper, we further perform a more thorough study of the most sensitive process, $pp\to VH^\ast\to VVV$, on the information about the relations between the $1σ,\,3σ,\,5σ$ statistical significance and the corresponding ranges of the Higgs ECC for an integrated luminosity of 100 fb$^{-1}$. These results have two useful applications in the LHC Run 2: (A) realizing the experimental determination of the ECC in the dim-6 interactions if $H$ is found and, (B) obtaining the theoretical exclusion bounds if $H$ is not found. Some alternative processes sensitive for certain ranges of the ECC are also analyzed.

description: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive complication of pregnancy characterized by novel onset of hypertension after 20 weeks gestation, accompanied by proteinuria. Epidemiological evidence suggests that genetic susceptibility exists for preeclampsia; however, whether preeclampsia is the result of underlying genetic risk for essential hypertension has yet to be investigated. Based on the hypertensive state that is characteristic of preeclampsia, we aimed to determine if established genetic risk scores (GRSs) for hypertension and blood pressure are associated with preeclampsia.

description: The authors uncover a positive and statistically significant relationship between each of the measures of downstreamness and the intrafirm import share in a given sector, with this relationship emerging only for high values of the demand elasticity faced by buyer industries (i.e., in the complement case) (Statement 2). This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "Combining data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Related Party Trade database and estimates of U.S. import demand elasticities from Broda and Weinstein (2006), we find empirical evidence broadly supportive of our key predictions" (Statement 1). The novel predictions from the authors' model regarding the role of downstreamness are tested in Table III [Dependent Variable: Intrafirm Import Share; Estimation is by OLS] using the DUse_TUse [ratio of the aggregate direct use to the aggregate total use] measure of production line position. Following the guidance of the authors' theoretical model, they run their benchmark specification from equation (32) in column 2, which includes the interactions of DUse_TUse with their proxies for the sequential substitutes (Elas < Median) and complements (Elas > Median) cases, as well as a dummy variable for the sequential complements case. The term selected is 'DUse_TUse × 1(Elas > Median), beta_2' (Statement 3). The effect of downstreamness is positive and significant at the 5% level when the average buyer demand elasticity is above the median for this variable (beta_2 > 0), consistent with a greater propensity toward the integration of input suppliers that enter further downstream in the value chain (from Table III, column (2), 'DUse_TUse × 1(Elas > Median), beta_2' term: estimate = 0.171 [0.067]) The focal test in the original paper is: The effect of downstreamness is positive and significant at the 5% level when the average buyer demand elasticity is above the median for this variable (beta_2 > 0), consistent with a greater propensity toward the integration of input suppliers that enter further downstream in the value chain (from Table III, column (2), 'DUse_TUse × 1(Elas > Median), beta_2' term: estimate = 0.171 [0.067])

description: BACKGROUND: Hypertension in African Americans is characterized by greater systemic vascular resistance (SVR) compared with Caucasian Americans, but the responsible mechanisms are not known. The present study sought to determine if peripheral vascular hypertrophy is a potential mechanism contributing to elevated SVR in African Americans with high blood pressure (BP).

METHODS: In a biracial sample of 80 men and women between the ages of 25 and 45 years, with clinic BP in the range 130/85-160/99mm Hg, we assessed cardiac output and SVR, in addition to BP. Minimum forearm vascular resistance (MFVR), a marker of vascular hypertrophy, also was assessed.

RESULTS: SVR was elevated in African Americans compared with Caucasians (P < 0.001). Regression models indicated that age, body mass index, 24-hour diastolic BP, and ethnicity were significant predictors of SVR. There was also a significant interaction between ethnicity and MFVR in explaining SVR in the study sample. In particular, there was a significant positive association between MFVR and SVR among African Americans (P = 0.002), whereas the association was inverse and not statistically significant among Caucasians (P = 0.601).

CONCLUSION: Hypertrophy of the systemic microvasculature may contribute to the elevated SVR that is characteristic of the early stages of hypertension in African American compared with Caucasians.

On Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Space-Time and Quantum Gravity
Creators: name: Munkhammar, Joakim
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on recent results from general relativistic statistical mechanics and black hole information transfer limits a space-time entropy-action equivalence is proposed as a generalization of the holographic principle. With this conjecture, the action principle can be replaced by the second law of thermodynamics, and for the Einstein-Hilbert action the Einstein field equations are conceptually the result of thermodynamic equilibrium. For non-equilibrium situations Jaynes' information-theoretic approach to maximum entropy production is adopted instead of the second law of thermodynamics. As it turns out, for appropriate choices of constants quantum gravity is obtained. For the special case of a free particle the Bekenstein-Verlinde entropy-to-displacement relation of holographic gravity, and thus the traditional holographic principle, emerges. Although Jacobson's original thermodynamic equilibrium approach proposed that gravity might not necessarily be quantized, this particular non-equilibrium treatment might require it.

description: The search for di-Higgs production at the LHC in order to set limits on Higgs trilinear coupling and constraints on new physics is one of the main motivations for the LHC high luminosity phase. Recent experimental analyses suggest that such analyses will only be successful if information from a range of channels is included. We therefore investigate di-Higgs production in association with two hadronic jets and give a detailed discussion of both the gluon- and weak boson fusion contributions, with a particular emphasis on the phenomenology with modified Higgs trilinear and quartic gauge couplings. We perform a detailed investigation of the full hadronic final state and find that $hhjj$ production should add sensitivity to a di-Higgs search combination at the HL-LHC with 3 ab$^{-1}$. Since the WBF and GF contributions are sensitive to different sources of physics beyond the Standard Model, we devise search strategies to disentangle and isolate these production modes. While gluon fusion remains non-negligible in WBF-type selections, sizeable new physics contributions to the latter can still be constrained. As an example of the latter point we investigate the sensitivity that can be obtained for a measurement of the quartic Higgs-gauge boson couplings.

Toward a consistent use of overshooting parametrizations in 1D stellar evolution codes

description: Several parametrizations for overshooting in 1D stellar evolution calculations coexist in the literature. These parametrizations are used somewhat arbitrarily in stellar evolution codes, based on what works best for a given problem, or even for historical reasons related to the development of each code. We bring attention to the fact that these different parametrizations correspond to different physical regimes of overshooting, depending whether the effects of radiation are dominant, marginal, or negligible. Our analysis is based on previously published theoretical results, as well as multidimensional hydrodynamical simulations of stellar convection where the interaction between the convective region and a stably-stratified region is observed. Although the underlying hydrodynamical processes are the same, the outcome of the overshooting process is profoundly affected by radiative effects. Using a simple picture of the scales involved in the overshooting process, we show how three regimes are obtained, depending on the importance of radiative effects. These three regimes correspond to the different behaviors observed in hydrodynamical simulations so far, and to the three types of parametrizations used in 1D codes. We suggest that the existing parametrizations for overshooting should coexist in 1D stellar evolution codes, and should be applied consistently at convective boundaries depending on the local physical conditions.

TESS Experiments: Voting vs. Being a Voter: Exploring the Process Behind a Phrasing Effect On Turnout
Creators: name: Bryan, Christopher
Publisher: name: Roper Center for Public Opinion Research
Year: 2022

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to determine how the phrasing of questions on voting as verbs (i.e. voting) versus nouns (i.e. being a voter) might affect turnout. The 1555 registered voters from New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Missouri, and New Jersey were divided into 2 experimental conditions and two control conditions. The conditioning occurred in two stages: first, the two experimental groups were asked to rank which of a series of characteristics were most important to their identities, while the control groups were asked to select the least important characteristics; next, the groups were further divided into “Noun Phrase” and “Verb Phrase” conditions. Those in the Noun Phrase groups were asked a series of questions about voting that centered his or her identity as a voter, whereas those in the Verb Phrase groups were asked equivalent questions using voting as a verb. Investigators later acquired voting records for these participants to examine the effect of these questions on actual voting habits. This allowed for comparisons between the effects of priming voting as an action as opposed to a facet of identity.

description: We consider a class of parametrically forced Hamiltonian systems with one-and-a-half degrees of freedom and study the stability of the dynamics when the frequency of the forcing is relatively high or low. We show that, provided the frequency of the forcing is sufficiently high, KAM theorem may be applied even when the forcing amplitude is far away from the perturbation regime. A similar result is obtained for sufficiently low frequency forcing, but in that case we need the amplitude of the forcing to be not too large; however we are still able to consider amplitudes of the forcing which are outside of the perturbation regime. Our results are illustrated by means of numerical simulations for the system of a forced cubic oscillator. In addition, we find numerically that the dynamics are stable even when the forcing amplitude is very large (beyond the range of validity of the analytical results), provided the frequency of the forcing is taken correspondingly low.

description: In 2010, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services awarded the first round of five-year grants for the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG 1.0) Program to 32 organizations in 23 states, including five tribal organizations. The purpose of the HPOG Program is to provide education, training, and supportive services to Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients and other low-income individuals for occupations in the healthcare field that pay well and are expected to either experience labor shortages or be in high demand. The HPOG Impact Study includes the 20 grantees that were not otherwise collecting individual-level data as part of another study funded by ACF's HPOG Research and Evaluation Portfolio, plus three additional grantees that were included in ACF's Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) Evaluation. The HPOG objectives stem from the career pathways framework of postesecondary education, designed to address the challenge of preparing nontraditional student populations who vary in their readiness for training or employment. The programs are intended to address two pervasive problems: the increasing shortfall in the supply of qualified healthcare professionals in the face of expanding demand, and the increasing requirements for a postsecondary education to secure a job with a living wage for families. To evaluate HPOG, the study randomized eligible applicants to the 42 local HPOG programs into a control group, which had access to existing education, training, and support services in the community, or into a treatment group, which had access to an HPOG program. The three-year impact analysis reports the impact of HPOG three years after random assignment of study participants.

description: In this letter, we address the relationship between the statistical fluctuations of grain displacements for a full quasistatic plane shear experiment, and the corresponding anomalous diffusion exponent, $α$. We experimentally validate a particular case of the so-called Tsallis-Bukman scaling law, $α= 2 / (3 - q)$, where $q$ is obtained by fitting the probability density function (PDF) of the measured fluctuations with a $q$-Gaussian distribution, and the diffusion exponent is measured independently during the experiment. Applying an original technique, we are able to evince a transition from an anomalous diffusion regime to a Brownian behavior as a function of the length of the strain-window used to calculate the displacements of grains in experiments. The outstanding conformity of fitting curves to a massive amount of experimental data shows a clear broadening of the fluctuation PDFs as the length of the strain-window decreases, and an increment in the value of the diffusion exponent - anomalous diffusion. Regardless of the size of the strain-window considered in the measurements, we show that the Tsallis-Bukman scaling law remains valid, which is the first experimental verification of this relationship for a classical system at different diffusion regimes. We also note that the spatial correlations show marked similarities to the turbulence in fluids, a promising indication that this type of analysis can be used to explore the origins of the macroscopic friction in confined granular materials.

P-ADIC MODULAR FORMS OF NON-INTEGRAL WEIGHT OVER SHIMURA CURVES
Creators: name: BRASCA, RICCARDO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: In this work, we set up a theory of p-adic modular forms over Shimura curves over totally real fields which allows us to consider also non-integral weights. In particular, we define an analogue of the sheaves of k-th invariant differentials over the Shimura curves we are interested in, for any p-adic character. In this way, we are able to introduce the notion of overconvergent modular form of any p-adic weight. Moreover, our sheaves can be put in p-adic families over a suitable rigid-analytic space, that parametrizes the weights. Finally, we define Hecke operators. We focus on the U operator, showing that it is completely continuous on the space of overconvergent modular forms.
Maxwell's demon and the management of ignorance in stochastic thermodynamics

description: It is nearly 150 years since Maxwell challenged the validity of the second law of thermodynamics by imagining a tiny creature who could sort the molecules of a gas in such a way that would decrease entropy without exerting any work. The demon has been discussed largely using thought experiments, but it has recently become possible to exert control over nanoscale systems, just as Maxwell imagined, and the status of the second law has become a more practical matter, raising the issue of how measurements manage our ignorance in a way that can be exploited. The framework of stochastic thermodynamics extends macroscopic concepts such as heat, work, entropy and irreversibility to small systems and allows us explore the matter. Some arguments against a successful demon imply a second law that can be suspended indefinitely until we dissipate energy in order to remove the records of his operations. In contrast, under stochastic thermodynamics the demon fails because on average more work is performed upfront in making a measurement than is to be extracted by exploiting the outcome. This requires us to exclude systems and a demon that evolve under what might be termed self-sorting dynamics, and we reflect on the constraints on control that this implies while still working within a thermodynamic framework.

description: BACKGROUND: Health care access is an important determinant of health. We assessed the effect of health insurance status and type on blood pressure control among US women living with (WLWH) and without HIV.

METHODS: We used longitudinal cohort data from the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). WIHS participants were included at their first study visit since 2001 with incident uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) (i.e., BP ≥140/90 and at which BP at the prior visit was controlled (i.e., <135/85). We assessed time to regained BP control using inverse Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard models. Confounding and selection bias were accounted for using inverse probability-of-exposure-and-censoring weights.

RESULTS: Most of the 1,130 WLWH and 422 HIV-uninfected WIHS participants who had an elevated systolic or diastolic measurement were insured via Medicaid, were African-American, and had a yearly income ≤$12,000. Among participants living with HIV, comparing the uninsured to those with Medicaid yielded an 18-month BP control risk difference of 0.16 (95% CI: 0.10, 0.23). This translates into a number-needed-to-treat (or insure) of 6; to reduce the caseload of WLWH with uncontrolled BP by one case, five individuals without insurance would need to be insured via Medicaid. Blood pressure control was similar among WLWH with private insurance and Medicaid. There were no differences observed by health insurance status on 18-month risk of BP control among the HIV-uninfected participants.

CONCLUSIONS: These results underscore the importance of health insurance for hypertension control-especially for people living with HIV.

Gamma-ray and neutrino diffuse emissions of the Galaxy above the TeV

description: As recently shown, Fermi-LAT measurements of the diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Galaxy favor the presence of a smooth softening in the primary cosmic-ray spectrum with increasing Galactocentric distance. This result can be interpreted in terms of a spatial-dependent rigidity scaling of the diffusion coefficient. The DRAGON code was used to build a model based on such feature. That scenario correctly reproduces the latest Fermi-LAT results as well as local cosmic-ray measurements from PAMELA, AMS-02 and CREAM. Here we show that the model, if extrapolated at larger energies, grasps both the gamma-ray flux measured by MILAGRO at 15 TeV and the H.E.S.S. data from the Galactic ridge, assuming that the cosmic-ray spectral hardening found by those experiments at about 250 GeV/n is present in the whole inner Galactic plane region. Moreover, we show as that model also predicts a neutrino emission which may account for a significant fraction, as well as for the correct spectral shape, of the astrophysical flux measured by IceCube above 25 TeV.

description: We study the behavior of large dust grains in turbulent molecular clouds (MCs). In primarily neutral regions, dust grains move as aerodynamic particles, not necessarily with the gas. We therefore directly simulate, for the first time, the behavior of aerodynamic grains in highly supersonic, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence typical of MCs. We show that, under these conditions, grains with sizes a >0.01 micron exhibit dramatic (exceeding factor ~1000) fluctuations in the local dust-to-gas ratio (implying large small-scale variations in abundances, dust cooling rates, and dynamics). The dust can form highly filamentary structures (which would be observed in both dust emission and extinction), which can be much thinner than the characteristic width of gas filaments. Sometimes, the dust and gas filaments are not even in the same location. The 'clumping factor' of the dust (critical for dust growth/coagulation/shattering) can reach ~100, for grains in the ideal size range. The dust clustering is maximized around scales ~0.2pc*(a/micron)*(100 cm^-3/n_gas), and is 'averaged out' on larger scales. However, because the density varies widely in supersonic turbulence, the dynamic range of scales (and interesting grain sizes) for these fluctuations is much broader than in the subsonic case. Our results are applicable to MCs of essentially all sizes and densities, but we note how Lorentz forces and other physics (neglected here) may change them in some regimes. We discuss the potentially dramatic consequences for star formation, dust growth and destruction, and dust-based observations of MCs.
