description: Information packet safety and health of women in the trades produced by the Women’s Occupational Health Resource Center (WOHRC). The WOHRC (1979-1987) was a research and training program devoted to identifying and better understanding hazards faced by women workers. WOHRC was housed in Columbia’s School of Public Health and directed by Professor Jeanne Mager Stellman. WOHRC was a designated OSHA New Directions Training program, and also received support from other federal and private agencies. As a New Directions project, WOHRC trained thousands of workers and professionals in hazard recognition and accident and illness prevention for women workers. In order to carry out its public health programs, WOHRC developed and disseminated original educational materials. The materials were designed to be authoritative while at the same time accessible to non-professional users (e.g. the workers). WOHRC published a monthly newsletter that contained a “fact sheet” focusing on a particular job or a particular hazard. The fact sheets were also made available individually or collected into “fact packs” of related materials.

description: We establish for the first time heuristic correlations between harmonic space phase information and higher order statistics. Using the spherical full-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background as an example we demonstrate that known phase correlations at large spatial scales can gradually be diminished when subtracting a suitable best-fit (Bianchi-) template map of given strength. The weaker phase correlations lead in turn to a vanishing signature of anisotropy when measuring the Minkowski functionals and scaling indices in real-space and comparing them with surrogate maps being free of phase correlations. Those investigations can open a new road to a better understanding of signatures of non-Gaussianities in complex spatial structures by elucidating the meaning of Fourier phase correlations and their influence on higher order statistics.

Iron Line Variability of Discoseismic Corrugation Modes

description: Using a fast semi-analytic raytracing code, we study the variability of relativistically broadened iron lines due to discoseismic oscillations concentrated in the inner-most regions of accretion discs around black holes. The corrugation mode, or c-mode, is of particular interest as its natural frequency corresponds well to the ~0.1-15Hz range observed for low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) for lower spins. Comparison of the oscillation phase dependent variability and QPO-phase stacked iron line observations will allow such discoseismic models to be confirmed or ruled out as a source of particular LFQPOs. The spectral range and frequency of the variability of the iron line due to corrugation modes can also potentially be used to constrain the black hole spin if observed with sufficient temporal and spectral resolution.

description: When tax returns were prepared with pencil and paper—in an era now gone forever—Congress did not impose income tax provisions of great computational complexity on large numbers of taxpayers, in the belief that it was unreasonable to require average taxpayers (or their paid preparers) to struggle with computationally complex provisions. As return preparation software gradually replaced the pencil in recent decades, the complexity constraint weakened and eventually disappeared. Congress has responded by imposing unprecedented computational complexity on large numbers of taxpayers—primarily through the expanded scope of the alternative minimum tax and the proliferation of phase outs of credits, deductions, and exclusions. This response would not be problematic, if the only objection to computational complexity were the difficulty of performing the calculations—a difficulty overcome by the widespread adoption of software. Unfortunately, computationally complex provisions generally constitute bad tax policy, even apart from computational concerns. For taxpayers faced with a welter of computationally complex provisions, the income tax is a black box, the inner workings of which are beyond their comprehension. This undermines both the political legitimacy of the tax system and the ability of taxpayers to engage in informed tax planning. In response to the demise of the complexity constraint, argues this Essay, Congress should develop a self-imposed constraint against the enactment (or survival) of computationally complex provisions of widespread applicability.

description: A basic similarity between the Chinese approach to international income taxation and that of many other countries is the two-tiered system China uses to tax inbound foreign investments: some items of income earned by foreigners are taxed on a gross-income basis, primarily by way of withholding, while others are taxed on a net-income basis, through the filing of annual tax returns that account for both income and expenses. In the U.S., as a comparative example, whether an item of income is subject to one or the other mode of taxation turns upon whether the foreign recipient of income is engaged in a "trade or business" in the U.S. and whether the income is "effectively connected" with such U.S. trade or business. In China, a similar determination for a foreign non-individual taxpayer depends on whether the foreign entity’s income is effectively connected with an "establishment or site" ("jigouchangsuo," or "establishment" for short) in China.

description: Of all the proposals advanced in recent years to reform Subchapter K, the part of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC" or "Code") governing partnership tax, perhaps none has generated more acrimony and confusion than the pending carried interest legislation contained in proposed § 710. While reformers have framed the issue of taxing the compensatory portion of a service partner’s return as ordinary income in terms of distributive justice, critics have been quick to invoke the rhetoric of class warfare to fend off reform. In the most elementary terms, the carried interest legislation would tax some (but not all) of a service partner’s share of partnership profits as ordinary income. Even at this basic level, however, the contours of the proposed legislation are ambiguous. Indeed, the reform is sometimes misdescribed as taxing "distributions" rather than "distributive shares" as ordinary income, a distinction that is fundamental. Moreover, the precise tax advantage of carried interest arrangements depends crucially on whether one adopts a "joint-tax" perspective or focuses more narrowly on the service partner’s opportunity for deferral and conversion. Apart from the merits of carried interest legislation, there is also considerable dispute over whether such reform is likely to raise significant amounts of revenue.

description: The topology and the geometry of a surface play a fundamental role in determining the equilibrium configurations of thin films of liquid crystals. We propose here a theoretical analysis of a recently introduced surface Frank energy, in the case of two-dimensional nematic liquid crystals coating a toroidal particle. Our aim is to show how a different modeling of the effect of extrinsic curvature acts as a selection principle among equilibria of the classical energy, and how new configurations emerge. In particular, our analysis predicts the existence of new stable equilibria with complex windings.

description: A theory-driven confirmatory approach comparing diathesis–stress and differential susceptibility models of Gene × Environment (G × E) interactions was applied to examine whether 5-HTTLPR genotype moderated the effect of early maternal caregiving on autonomic nervous system (ANS) stress reactivity in 113 adolescents aged 13–17 years. Findings supported a differential susceptibility, rather than diathesis–stress, framework. Carriers of one or more 5-HTTLPR short alleles (SS/SL carriers) reporting higher quality caregiving exhibited approach ANS responses to a speech task, whereas those reporting lower quality caregiving exhibited withdrawal ANS responses. Carriers of two 5-HTTLPR long alleles (LL carriers) were unaffected by caregiving. Findings suggest that 5-HTTLPR genotype and early caregiving in interaction are associated with ANS stress reactivity in adolescents in a “for better and for worse” fashion, and they demonstrate the promise of confirmatory methods for testing G × E interactions.

description: Background—Psychological stress is a proposed risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the sentinel stress-related mental disorder, occurs twice as frequently in women as men. However, whether PTSD contributes to CVD risk in women is not established.

Methods and Results—We examined trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms in relation to incident CVD over a 20-year period in 49 978 women in the Nurses’ Health Study II. Proportional hazards models estimated hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for CVD events confirmed by additional information or medical record review (n=548, including myocardial infarction [n=277] and stroke [n=271]). Trauma exposure and PTSD symptoms were assessed by using the Brief Trauma Questionnaire and a PTSD screen. In comparison with no trauma exposure, endorsing ≥4 PTSD symptoms was associated with increased CVD risk after adjusting for age, family history, and childhood factors (hazard ratio,1.60; 95% confidence interval, 1.20–2.13). Being trauma-exposed and endorsing no PTSD symptoms was associated with elevated CVD risk (hazard ratio, 1.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.15–1.83), although being trauma-exposed and endorsing 1 to 3 PTSD symptoms was not. After adjusting for adult health behaviors and medical risk factors, this pattern of findings was maintained. Health behaviors and medical risk factors accounted for 14% of the trauma/no symptoms–CVD association and 47% of the trauma/4+ symptoms–CVD association.

Conclusion—Trauma exposure and elevated PTSD symptoms may increase the risk of CVD in this population of women. These findings suggest that screening for CVD risk and reducing health risk behaviors in trauma-exposed women may be promising avenues for prevention and intervention.

description: A mysterious increase of radiocarbon 14C ca. 775 AD in the Earth's atmosphere has been recently found by Miyake et al. (Nature, 486, 240, 2012). A possible source of this event has been discussed widely, the most likely being an extreme solar energetic particle event. A new exotic hypothesis has been presented recently by Liu et al. (Nature Sci. Rep., 4, 3728, 2014) who proposed that the event was caused by a comet bringing additional 14C to Earth. Here we calculated a realistic mass and size of such a comet to show that it would have been huge (~100 km across and 10^{14}-10^{15} ton of mass) and would have produced a disastrous impact on Earth. Such an impact could not remain unnoticed in the geological records and chronicles. The absence of an evidence for such a dramatic event makes this hypothesis invalid.

description: Background:

To practice Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM), physicians must quickly retrieve evidence to inform medical decisions. Internal Medicine (IM) residents receive little formal education in electronic database searching, and have identified poor searching skills as a barrier to practicing EBM.

Objective:

To design and implement a database searching tutorial for IM residents on inpatient rotations and to evaluate its impact on residents’ skill and comfort searching MEDLINE and filtered EBM resources.

Design:

Randomized controlled trial. Residents randomized to the searching tutorial met for up to 6 1-hour small group sessions to search for answers to questions about current hospitalized patients.

Participants:

Second- and 3rd-year IM residents.

Measurements:

Residents in both groups completed an Objective Structured Searching Evaluation (OSSE), searching for primary evidence to answer 5 clinical questions. OSSE outcomes were the number of successful searches, search times, and techniques utilized. Participants also completed self-assessment surveys measuring frequency and comfort using EBM databases.

Results:

During the OSSE, residents who participated in the intervention utilized more searching techniques overall (p

El abordaje no resulta fácil, pues a las ya conocidas complejidades del fenómeno demográfico, se le suman las propias de un contemporáneo panorama configurado por la voluntad política de varios países del Cono Sur de aliarse frente a un orden internacional cada vez más asimétrico e injusto. El primer trabajo describe las transformaciones en la política migratoria argentina, colocando el énfasis en la dimensión supranacional surgida y en la ideología que subyace a la nueva normativa. El segundo artículo examina el universo de discursos presente en la formulación de dos políticas de seguridad de alcance nacional, al interior del Mercosur: el Plan Nacional de Prevención del Delito de la Argentina y el Plan Nacional de Seguridad Pública de Brasil. Mediante el análisis de los documentos y los datos suministrados por informantes clave, se avanza en la comprensión de las definiciones de “delito” y “delincuente” presentes en las nuevas políticas de control del delito. El tercer estudio aborda las trayectorias migratorias de cuatro inmigrantes brasileros que arribaron a Buenos Aires desde 1991, buscando reconstruir, a partir del relato biográfico, el significado que los propios migrantes le atribuyen a su experiencia. Específicamente se indaga acerca de las causas y los motivos de la decisión de migrar, las características de la emigración y las percepciones acerca de la imagen que de ellos posee la sociedad receptora.

description: Purpose:

Individual-level unemployment has been consistently linked to poor health and higher mortality, but some scholars have suggested that the negative effect of job loss may be lower during times and in places where aggregate unemployment rates are high. We review three logics associated with this moderation hypothesis: health selection, social isolation, and unemployment stigma. We then test whether aggregate unemployment rates moderate the individual-level association between unemployment and all-cause mortality.

Methods:

We use six meta-regression models (each using a different measure of the aggregate unemployment rate) based on 62 relative all-cause mortality risk estimates from 36 studies (from 15 nations).

Results:

We find that the magnitude of the individual-level unemployment-mortality association is approximately the same during periods of high and low aggregate-level unemployment. Model coefficients (exponentiated) were 1.01 for the crude unemployment rate (P = .27), 0.94 for the change in unemployment rate from the previous year (P = .46), 1.01 for the deviation of the unemployment rate from the 5-year running average (P = .87), 1.01 for the deviation of the unemployment rate from the 10-year running average (P = .73), 1.01 for the deviation of the unemployment rate from the overall average (measured as a continuous variable; P = .61), and showed no variation across unemployment levels when the deviation of the unemployment rate from the overall average was measured categorically. Heterogeneity between studies was significant (P < .001), supporting the use of the random effects model.

Conclusions:

We found no strong evidence to suggest that unemployment experiences change when macroeconomic conditions change. Efforts to ameliorate the negative social and economic consequences of unemployment should continue to focus on the individual and should be maintained regardless of periodic changes in macroeconomic conditions.

description: Geomagnetic field variations during five major Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events of solar cycle 23 have been investigated in the present study. The SEP events of 01 oct 2001, 04 Nov 2001, 21 Apr 2002 and 14 May 2005 have been selected to study the geomagnetic field variations at two high-latitude stations, Thule and Resolute Bay of the northern polar cap. We have used the GOES protn flux in seven different energy channels. All the proton events were associated with geoeffective or Earth directed CMEs that caused intense geomagnetic storms in response to geospace. We have taken high-latitude indices, AE and PC, under consideration and found fairly good correlation of thees with the ground magnetic field records during the five proton events. The departure of H component during the events were calculated from the quietest day of the month for each event. The correspondence of spectral index, inferred from event integrated spectra, with ground magnetic signatures along with Dst and PC indices have been brought out. From the correlation analysis we found very strong correlation to exist between the geomagnetic field variations and high latitude indices AE and PC. To find the association of geomagnetic storm intensity with proton and geomagnetic field variations along with the Dst and AE index. We found a strong correlation (0.88) to exist between the spectral indices and magnetic field deviations and also between spectral indices and AE and PC.

description: Abstract

The paper discusses the methodology of using cellular automata with active cells to organize effective security in IoT networks. The objective of the research is to increase the reliability of the functioning of the IoT network and the resistance of such networks to cyberattacks. To solve this problem, cellular automata with active cells were used, which allow organizing an asynchronous mode of generating stream ciphers used to encrypt data transmitted from device to device. Cellular automata with active cells make it possible to implement a generator of pseudo-random bit sequences with a large number of outputs. At the outputs of the generator, different key gammas are formed, which participate in the formation of stream ciphers. The initial settings are specified by the bits of the first nine bytes of the message. If there is more than one active cell, then for each additional active cell, six more bytes are added, which define the initial settings of each additional active cell. The organization of streaming encryption of data during their transmission from device to device, as well as between gateways and the central processor is considered. The proposed algorithm for generating an asynchronous stream cipher can be easily implemented in both software and hardware. The use of cellular automata with active cells allows the implementation of encryption mode for a group of devices, the number of which can vary. Constantly changing the key range increases resistance to attacks on IoT network devices and the entire network as a whole.

description: BACKGROUND Little information is available about the relationship of socioeconomic status (SES) to blunted nocturnal ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) dipping among Hispanics and whether this relationship differs by race. We sought to characterize ABP nondipping and its determinants in a sample of Hispanics.

METHODS We enrolled 180 Hispanic participants not on antihypertensive medications. SES was defined by years of educational attainment. All participants underwent 24-hour ABP monitoring. A decrease of <10% in the ratio between average awake and average asleep systolic BP was considered nondipping.

RESULTS The mean age of the cohort was 67.1 ± 8.7, mean educational level was 9.4 ± 4.4 years, and 58.9% of the cohort was female. The cohort was comprised of 78.3% Caribbean Hispanics with the rest from Mexico and Central/South America; 41.4% self-identified as white Hispanic, 34.4% self-identified as black Hispanic, and 24.4% did not racially self- identify. The percentage of nondippers was 57.8%. Educational attainment (10.5 years vs. 8.6 years; P <0.01) was significantly higher among dippers than nondippers. In multivariable analyses, each 1-year increase in education was associated with a 9% reduction in the likelihood of being a nondipper (odds ratio [OR], 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.84–0.98; P = 0.01). There were significantly greater odds of being a nondipper for black Hispanics than for white Hispanics (OR, 2.83, 95% CI, 1.29–6.23; P = 0.005). Higher SES was significantly protective of nondipping in white Hispanics but not black Hispanics.

CONCLUSIONS These results document a substantial prevalence of nondipping in a cohort of predominantly normotensive Hispanics. Dipping status varied significantly by race. Lower SES is significantly associated with nondipping status, and race potentially impacts on this relation.

description: Black holes of a billion solar masses are observed in the infant universe a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. The direct collapse of protogalactic gas clouds in primordial halos with $\rm T_{vir} \geq 10^{4} K$ provides the most promising way to assemble massive black holes. In this study, we aim to determine the characteristic mass scale of seed black holes and the time evolution of the accretion rates resulting from the direct collapse model. We explore the formation of supermassive black holes via cosmological large eddy simulations (LES) by employing sink particles and following their evolution for twenty thousand years after the formation of the first sink. As the resulting protostars were shown to have cool atmospheres in the presence of strong accretion, we assume here that UV feedback is negligible during this calculation. We confirm this result in a comparison run without sinks. Our findings show that black hole seeds with characteristic mass of $\rm 10^{5} M_{\odot}$ are formed in the presence of strong Lyman Werner flux which leads to an isothermal collapse. The characteristic mass is a about two times higher in LES compared to the implicit large eddy simulations (ILES). The accretion rates increase with time and reach a maximum value of 10 $\rm M_{\odot}/yr$ after $\rm 10^{4}$ years. Our results show that the direct collapse model is clearly feasible as it provides the expected mass of the seed black holes.

description: We study matrix elements of the "chromomagnetic" operator on the lattice. This operator is contained in the strangeness-changing effective Hamiltonian which describes electroweak effects in the Standard Model and beyond. Having dimension 5, the chromomagnetic operator is characterized by a rich pattern of mixing with other operators of equal and lower dimensionality, including also non gauge invariant quantities; it is thus quite a challenge to extract from lattice simulations a clear signal for the hadronic matrix elements of this operator. We compute all relevant mixing coefficients to one loop in lattice perturbation theory; this necessitates calculating both 2-point (quark-antiquark) and 3-point (gluon-quark-antiquark) Green's functions at nonzero quark masses. We use the twisted mass lattice formulation, with Symanzik improved gluon action. For a comprehensive presentation of our results, along with detailed explanations and a more complete list of references, we refer to our forthcoming publication [1].

description: 本研究では,音楽知識が乏しい人でも容易に副旋律を練習できる支援システムの開発を目指し,音響信号を対象とした副旋律生成手法を検討する.従来の副旋律生成手法の多くはMIDIデータや楽譜データを基にしたものであり,実際の音響信号を直接処理するものは限られていた.本研究では,音響信号から直接副旋律を生成するアプローチを提案し,主旋律と調和する副旋律の音高を決定するために隠れマルコフモデル(HMM)を活用する.

提案手法では,まず音源分離技術を用いて主旋律と伴奏を分離し,伴奏のクロマグラムを抽出する.その後,HMMを用いて副旋律の音高を推定し,音楽的な調和を考慮した音高遷移を実現する.さらに,ロングトーン部分の安定性を向上させるための遷移確率の調整や,伴奏との不協和音を避けるための出力確率の最適化を導入した.

評価実験では,Jポップ・演歌・ボーカロイドの3つのジャンルから計12曲を選定し,提案手法と従来手法の比較を行った.その結果,すべての楽曲において提案手法が最も高い正解率を示し,副旋律生成の精度向上が確認された.一方で,ボーカロイド楽曲において正解率が低い傾向が見られた.これは音源分離の精度の影響により,伴奏側に主旋律成分が混入することが原因と考えられる.また,演歌の一部楽曲では,演歌独特の歌唱法が多用されているため,楽譜データを基にした正解データとの比較が困難になり,正解率の低下につながった可能性が示唆された.

本研究の成果により,音響信号を基にした副旋律生成手法が一定の条件下で有望であることが示唆された.今後の課題として,転調への対応を含めた副旋律生成手法のさらなる改善,音源分離技術の向上による精度向上,そしてユーザが実際に練習しやすいインターフェースの開発が挙げられる.これらの課題に取り組むことで,より多くのユーザが手軽に副旋律の練習を行える環境の構築を目指す.

description: Every year, forest fires cause damages to biodiversity, atmosphere, and economy. To face such permanent threat, wildfire analysts rely on emerging and well established technologies to determine fire behavior and propagation patterns. Nevertheless, input data describing fire scenarios are subject to high levels of uncertainty that represent a serious challenge for the correctness of the prediction. The unknown parameters need to be adjusted, and an input data calibration phase is carried over following a genetic algorithm strategy. The calibrated input is then pipelined into the actual prediction phase. In addition, this two-stage prediction scheme is leveraged by the cloud computing, which enables high level of parallelism on demand, almost realtime elasticity and unlimited scalability. All of them at a low-cost strategy. In this paper, to obtain more accurate prediction results and efficient use of cloud resources in the compute-intensive calibration phase, we propose a new fitness function in tandem with a strict deadline policy that decreases overall processing time. In consonance with the hard-deadline-driven nature of fire extinction activities, the proposed strategies improve the genetic algorithm convergence and decrease the response time for the calibration stage, setting up an important upper bound limit to the critical compute-intensive adjustment phase. For the case study evaluated, only 3.87% of of accuracy loss is given out in exchange of a guarantee that the calibration phase will never last more than 50 minutes in the worst case.

description: Ultrathin metallic ferromagnets on substrates with strong spin-orbit coupling can exhibit induced chiral interactions of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) form. For systems with perpendicular anisotropy, the presence of DM interactions has important consequences for current-driven domain-wall motion and underpins possible spintronic applications involving skyrmions. We show theoretically how spin textures driven by the DM interaction allow nonreciprocal channeling of spin waves, leading to measurable features in magnetic wires, dots, and domain walls. Our results provide methods for detecting induced DM interactions in metallic multilayers and controlling spin wave propagation in ultrathin nanostructures.

description: We study some geometric and combinatorial aspects of the solution to the full Kostant-Toda (f-KT) hierarchy, when the initial data is given by an arbitrary point on the totally non-negative (tnn) flag variety of SL_n(R). The f-KT flows on the tnn flag variety are complete, and their asymptotics are completely determined by the cell decomposition of the tnn flag variety given by Rietsch. We define the f-KT flow on the weight space via the moment map, and show that the closure of each f-KT flow forms an interesting convex polytope generalizing the permutohedron which we call a Bruhat interval polytope. We also prove analogous results for the full symmetric Toda hierarchy, by mapping our f-KT solutions to those of the full symmetric Toda hierarchy. In the Appendix we show that Bruhat interval polytopes are generalized permutohedra, in the sense of Postnikov, and that their edges correspond to cover relations in the Bruhat order.
