description: Health planning efforts for the population age 65 and over have been hampered continually by the lack of reliable estimates of the noninstitutionalized long-term care population. Until recently national estimates were virtually nonexistent, and reliable small area estimates remain unavailable. However, with the recent publication of several national surveys and the 1990 Census, synthetic estimates can be made for states and counties by using multivariate methods to model functional dependency at the national level, and then applying the predicted probabilities to corresponding state and county data. Using the 1984 National Health Interview Survey's Supplement on Aging and the 1986 Area Health Resources File System, we have produced log-linear regression models that include demographic and contextual variables as predictors of functional dependency among the noninstitutionalized population age 65 and over. Age, sex, race, and the percent of the 65 and over population who reside in poverty were found to be significant predictors of functional dependency. Applying these models to 1986 Medicare Enrollment Statistics, regression-adjusted synthetic estimates of two levels of functional dependency were produced for all states and - as examples of how the rates can be used to produce additional synthetic estimates - the largest county in each state. We also produced point estimates and standard errors for the national prevalence of functional dependency among the noninstitutionalized population age 65 and over.

description: A microcosm study was carried out in order to determine effects of raw sewage of pulp and paper industry from Tunisia on nematodes of Ghar El Melh lagoon. Four sedimentary concentrations of raw sewage, D1 (25%), D2 (50%), D3 (75%), D4 (100%), were applied during 30 days of exposure. Under stress, abundance of nematodes increased significantly, especially for the highest doses. Univariate indices of diversity showed a significant decrease which suggests species differential responses versus pollution. Multivariate analyses demonstrated that responses of nematode species to raw effluents from paper industry varied. Under stress, the presence of Neochromadora poicilosomoides, Prochromadorella neapolitana, Anticoma acuminata, Paramonohystera pilosa and Chromadorina metulata was reduced and they were categorized as sensitive species. In comparison, Theristus pertenuis, Daptonema fallax, Paracomesoma dubium and Marylynnia stekhoveni increased at all levels of raw effluents and may be classified as tolerant species.

description: BACKGROUND: Framingham Study findings suggest that total cholesterol (TC):High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio is a useful summary of the joint contribution of TC and HDL-C to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Information on the distribution of TC:HDL-C in the US population is limited to selected populations and the relationship of the ratio distribution and its correlates has received little attention. METHOD: TC/HDL-C ratios were examined in a representative sample of the United States adult population ages 20 to 74 years, between February 1976 and February 1980 during NHANES II, using stratification and multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS: Age-adjusted mean ratios were higher in men compared with women and were higher in Whites compared with Blacks. White men had the highest TC/HDL-C mean ratios. These relationships remained after stratification by age, education, body mass index, alcohol use, cigarette smoking, and physical activity. Using multivariate analyses, the ratios were positively related to BMI, age, and smoking; and negatively related to female sex, alcohol use, being Black, and physical activity. CONCLUSIONS: Using a ratio reference point of greater than or equal to 4.5 from the Framingham study, at least an estimated 44 million persons ages 25 to 74 years in the US were found to be at higher risk of developing coronary heart disease.
Re-establishment of Chone filicaudata Southern, 1914 (Annelida: Sabellidae) and the first record of the Mediterranean species Dialychone dunerificta (Tovar-Hernández et al., 2007) (Annelida: Sabellidae) in British waters

description: An abundant sabellid taxon which fits well with the original description of Chone filicaudata Southern, 1914, was collected from waters of the Shetland Islands. However, due to a previous emendation of C. filicaudata and its placement within Paradialychone genus, for several years the Shetland taxon remained unnamed being different from P. filicaudata. Southern type material of C. filicaudata from the National Museum of Ireland and the British Museum of Natural History was therefore examined and compared. The comparison revealed that the newly collected material from Shetland belongs to the authentic C. filicaudata, that is now re-established as a valid species and lectotype and paralectotypes are here designated from Southern's original type material from the National Museum of Ireland. The specimen housed at the British Museum of Natural History and labelled as "syntype" is a Paradialychone species which was incorrectly identified and labelled as C. filicaudata which led to the previous erroneous emendation of the taxon. The first finding of the Mediterranean species Dialychone dunerificta (Tovar-Hernández et al. 2007) is also reported for the British fauna.

We formulate the five-dimensional theory in supersymmetric backgrounds preseving N=2 and N=1 supersymmetries and discuss a subtle point in the previous paper concerned with the partial twisting on the Riemann surface. We further compute the partition function by localization of the five-dimensional theory on a squashed three-sphere in N=2 and N=1 supersymmetric backgrounds and on an ellipsoid three-sphere in an N=1 supersymmetric background.

description: To evaluate gonadal differentiation and multilocus microsatellite variability, 13 Dicentrarchus labrax (S1-S13) intended for breeding were sampled at 290 dpf (day post fertilization) and sacrificed for gonad and muscle sampling. On gonad samples, sex differentiation was assessed by histological analysis. On muscle samples, nine microsatellite loci (DLA0008, DLA0119, DLA0016, DLA0020, DLA0105, DLA0145, DLA0248, DLA0228 and DLA0244) were analyzed. The histological analysis showed a full gonadic differentiation in ovary in 3 fish, gonad at early sexual differentiation towards the male line in 1 fish, gonads fully differentiated in testis in 7 fish, gonads with intratesticular oocytes in 2 fish. Microsatellite analyses revealed the existence of 10 different genotypes. Diversity index of each locus varied from 0.61 for the microsatellite DLA0020 to 0.88 for microsatellite DLA0008. By combining the 9 microsatellite markers, a high discriminatory power (ID = 0.95) was found making this method useful to differentiate among the samples and to detect genetic micro variations. Further insights into a greater group of subjects and a larger number of molecular markers are worth exploring in cultured Dicentrarchus labrax in order to develop more quantitative trait loci to establish genetic linkage maps and correlate the genetic variability with the gonad differentiation of this fish species.

description: Con il termine “fabbriche recuperate” si indica il processo di recupero di imprese da parte degli operai, a causa di situazioni fallimentari conclamate o incipienti, che si rafforzò in Argentina a cavallo della crisi del 2001, che diede vita a forme sistematiche di autogestione. Nonostante la prima fabbrica recuperata risalga al 1959, il fenómeno è legato principalmente alla crisi del 2001, momento in cui si assistette alla nascita di un gran fermento sociale in risposta ad una delle più grandi crisi finanziarie della storia umana. Per descrivere con maggior profondità il fenomeno l’articolo ripercorre alcune casue sul piano della teoria economica riproponendo alcune politiche messe in campo dagli anni ‘70 in poi in Argentina, per arrivare a definire un modello di fabbrica recuperata definito “territoriale” che tenta di proporre sul piano culturale modalità di gestione basate sulla centralità della forza lavoro e sul benessere della comunità, diametralmente opposte al modello liberista di quegli anni le cui disfunzioni ne hanno causato la sua nascita come risposta socio-economica.

description: BACKGROUND: Although the inverse association between socioeconomic status (SES) and blood pressure has often been observed, little is known about the relationship between SES and dietary risk factors for elevated blood pressure. Therefore, this study described the distribution of dietary intakes of sodium, potassium, and calcium and examined the association between electrolyte intake and SES among 1784 Black men and women aged 25 to 50 residing in eastern North Carolina. METHODS: Household interviews were conducted in 1988 to obtain information on psychosocial and dietary correlates of blood pressure. Electrolyte intake (mg/day) was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire adapted to reflect regional and ethnic food preferences. SES was categorized into three levels defined by the participant's educational level and occupation. RESULTS: After adjustment for age and energy intake, potassium and calcium intake increased with increasing SES for both sexes. Sodium intake was high for all groups and did not vary markedly with SES, but sodium to potassium and sodium to calcium ratios decreased with increasing SES. In addition, high SES individuals were more likely to believe that diet affects risk for disease and to report less salt use at the table and less current sodium consumption than in the past. CONCLUSION: These data indicate that nutritional beliefs as well as the consumption of electrolytes are associated with SES in Black adults.

description: A morphological study of Scyliorhinus canicula in Algerian coastal waters was undertaken using biometric measurements. Size variation of males and females was determined and the state of sexual development was assessed for functional significance. The total monthly sampling over one year comprised 209 males and 251 females. All specimens were collected from commercial landings of the Oran fishery. Total length of fish varied between 28.5 and 50 cm for females and 28.5 to 55 cm for males. Females showed no distinct morphological features of maturity but some changes in ovary and oviduct structure were observed. Mature males were easily recognizable by morphological changes in the urogenital tract. Adult testes are in an elongated mass form. The right testis is typically more developed and heavier than the left. Sexual maturity is reached after 5 years for both males and females when they are around 38 cm in total length and 290 g in weight. The maximum total length recorded was 55 cm, rather less than the maximum length of 80 cm reported for Atlantic populations. Scyliorhinus canicula is oviparous and eggs are produced throughout the year with peak periods occurring in different regions. Females with in utero egg-cases were observed throughout the year confirming a protracted breeding season but with peak egg-laying in June.

description: BACKGROUND: This paper reports findings from a field experiment that evaluated mass media campaigns designed to prevent cigarette smoking by adolescents. METHODS: The campaigns featured radio and television messages on expected consequences of smoking and a component to stimulate personal encouragement of peers not to smoke. Six Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the Southeast United States received campaigns and four served as controls. Adolescents and mothers provided pretest and posttest data in their homes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The radio campaign had a modest influence on the expected consequences of smoking and friend approval of smoking, the more expensive campaigns involving television were not more effective than those with radio alone, the peer-involvement component was not effective, and any potential smoking effects could not be detected.

description: In a hypertension prevalence survey of a stratified random sample of 1,000 households, 2,030 adults (aged 18 years and over) were interviewed and information on psychosocial variables collected. Among 359 hypertensives, there was a consistent relationship between indicators of difficulty in the social environment and dropout from treatment in women. Compared to those who remained in treatment, women who dropped out can be characterized as having less social support on the job, having less perceived spouse approval (if married), having a lower level of perceived access to supportive resources, and being more likely to report feeling pushed most or all of the time if they are homemakers. Relationships between indicators of social support and dropout from treatment in men were found only with support on the job, and for White men, with perceived friend approval.

description: Corporate social responsibility is becoming a standard business practice. In any industry, companies aim to stand out and CSR is a tool companies use to do just that through positive influence on society as a whole. The purpose of this project is to analyze potential consumer purchase intentions when an alcohol company incorporates CSR. First, a survey was completed by 353 participants 21 years or older to assess the thoughts and opinions of consumers when purchasing products or services that are socially responsible, specifically in the alcohol industry. Second, a content analysis was conducted with seven alcohol companies to understand the presence of CSR initiatives on corporate websites and social media. All findings were analyzed to suggest recommendations for Cirrus Vodka located in Richmond, Virginia.

description: The diet of the European anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus was studied in the southeast Black Sea region of Turkey during the autumn, winter and spring seasons. Examination of the stomach contents of 526 specimens (total length ranging from 6.9-13.8 cm) confirmed that E. encrasicolus is a zooplanktivorous fish species. Among the 38 identified prey items, 71% were classified as zooplankton. The predominant prey groups of the zooplankton were fish eggs and larvae, and Ctenophorans followed by copepods. Data analysis revealed significant differences in the prey species composition between different seasons (ANOSIM, R = 0.229, p < 0.001) and between fish length classes (ANOSIM, R = 0.073, p < 0.001). The prey species that constituted the majority of the diet changed significantly with the season. SIMPER analysis revealed that the prey item contributing the most to the differences between seasons and length classes was fish eggs. The results of this study could be used to describe the diversity of prey species and intraspecific food competition in the Black Sea.

description: Nonlinear localized magnetic excitations in one dimensional magnonic crystal is investigated under periodic magntic field. The governing Landau-Lifshitz equation is transformed into variable coefficient nonlinear Schrodinger equation(VCNLS) using sterographic projection. The VCNLS equation is in general nonintegrable, by using painleve analysis necessary conditions for the VCNLS equation to pass Weiss-Tabor-Carnevale (WTC) Painleve test are obtained. A sufficient integrability condition is obtained by further exploring a transformation, which can map the VCNLS equation into the well-known standard nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The transformation built a systematic connection between the solution of the standard nonlinear Schrodinger equation and VC-NLS equation. The results shows the excitation of magnetization in the form of soliton has spatialperiod exists on the background of spin Bloch waves. Such solution exisits only certain constrain conditions on the coefficient of the VCNLS equation are satisfied. The analytical results suggest a way to control the dynamics of magnetization in the form of solitons by an appropriate spatial modulation of the nonlinearity coefficient in the governing VCNLS equation which is determined by the ferromagnetic materials which forms the magnonic crystal.

description: A two-year study of the microbiological quality of drinking water in 27 randomly selected North Carolina migrant labor camps yielded total and fecal coliform prevalences of 44 percent and 26 percent, respectively in 1988 and similar but higher prevalences in 1989. Preoccupancy testing by county sanitarians had found virtually no total coliform contamination. These findings suggest that a potential source of contamination existed and that current testing protocols which rely on preoccupancy testing may be inadequate.

description: In this note we provide a concise report on the complexity of the causal ordering problem, originally introduced by Simon to reason about causal dependencies implicit in systems of mathematical equations. We show that Simon's classical algorithm to infer causal ordering is NP-Hard---an intractability previously guessed but never proven. We present then a detailed account based on Nayak's suggested algorithmic solution (the best available), which is dominated by computing transitive closure---bounded in time by $O(|\mathcal V|\cdot |\mathcal S|)$, where $\mathcal S(\mathcal E, \mathcal V)$ is the input system structure composed of a set $\mathcal E$ of equations over a set $\mathcal V$ of variables with number of variable appearances (density) $|\mathcal S|$. We also comment on the potential of causal ordering for emerging applications in large-scale hypothesis management and analytics.

Our model determines changes in health attributes for different illnesses and then estimates the dollar value of the corresponding welfare losses. We used our quality-of-life approach to estimate willingness to pay to avoid asthma, a headache, a cough, bronchitis, and arthritis. Estimates derived using our method are similar to those obtained from more expensive and restrictive traditional methods.

description: We study two M5-branes on $A_{1}$ ALE space. We introduce some M2-branes suspended between the M5-branes. Then, the boundaries of M2-branes look like strings. We call them "M-strings". The M-strings have $\mathcal{N}=(4,0)$ supersymmetry by considering the brane configuration on $A_{1}$ ALE space. We calculate the partition function of M-strings by using the refined topological vertex formalism. We find that the supersymmetry of M-strings gets enhanced to $\mathcal{N}=(4,4)$ by tuning some Kähler parameters. Furthermore, we discuss another possibility of the enhancement of supersymmetry which is different from the above one.

description: This paper describes an interdisciplinary, variable credit-bearing university course on acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) that enrolled 429 students. Pre- and post-course questionnaries were used to assess knowledge and attitudes relative to AIDS and these were compared to National Health Interview Survey findings. Considerable cognitive and attitudinal changes occurred over the course period. University courses, taught annually, were found to be an efficient mechanism for educating large numbers of future community leaders and professionals about AIDS

description: With improved gate calibrations reducing unitary errors, we achieve a benchmarked single-qubit gate fidelity of 99.95% with superconducting qubits in a circuit quantum electrodynamics system. We present a method for distinguishing between unitary and non-unitary errors in quantum gates by interleaving repetitions of a target gate within a randomized benchmarking sequence. The benchmarking fidelity decays quadratically with the number of interleaved gates for unitary errors but linearly for non-unitary, allowing us to separate systematic coherent errors from decoherent effects. With this protocol we show that the fidelity of the gates is not limited by unitary errors, but by another drive-activated source of decoherence such as amplitude fluctuations.

description: There has been a concern that the number of persons engaging in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training could decline because of questions about human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) transmission. We investigated the theoretical possibility that a CPR manikin might serve as a fomite for HIV-1 transmission. Decontamination protocols were tested by using elevated levels of virus and decreasing decontamination times. Even under these compromising conditions, however, decontamination was effective.
The $λ$-invariant measures of subcritical Bienaymé--Galton--Watson processes

description: A $λ$-invariant measure of a sub-Markov chain is a left eigenvector of its transition matrix of eigenvalue $λ$. In this article, we give an explicit integral representation of the $λ$-invariant measures of subcritical Bienaymé--Galton--Watson processes killed upon extinction, i.e.\ upon hitting the origin. In particular, this characterizes all quasi-stationary distributions of these processes. Our formula extends the Kesten--Spitzer formula for the (1-)invariant measures of such a process and can be interpreted as the identification of its minimal $λ$-Martin entrance boundary for all $λ$. In the particular case of quasi-stationary distributions, we also present an equivalent characterization in terms of semi-stable subordinators. Unlike Kesten and Spitzer's arguments, our proofs are elementary and do not rely on Martin boundary theory.

description: Elasmopus thalyae Gouillieux & Sorbe, 2015 was first described from the Arcachon Bay, on soft and hard bottoms. An important collection of this species, 350 individuals, was sampled in a high energetic area on the north-west Cotentin peninsula (Raz Blanchard) from April 2015 to April 2016. Hard bottom substrata appeared to be a preferential habitat for this species.
Geographic and socioeconomic variation in the onset of decline of coronary heart disease mortality in white women.

description: BACKGROUND. Regional, metropolitan, and socioeconomic factors related to the onset of decline of coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality among White women are reported. Such studies are important for planning population-level interventions. METHODS. Mortality data for 1962 to 1978 were used, to estimate the year of onset of decline. Ecological analyses of socioeconomic data from the US census were used to emphasize structural and organizational aspects of changes in disease, rather than as a substitute for an individual-level design. RESULTS. Onset of decline of CHD mortality among White women was estimated to have occurred by 1962 in 53% of 507 state economic areas (SEAs), ranging from 79% in the Northeast to 39% in the South. Metropolitan areas experienced earlier onset of decline than did nonmetropolitan areas. Average income, education, and occupational levels were highest in early onset areas and declined across onset categories. CONCLUSIONS. The results provide additional evidence for previously observed geographic and social patterns of CHD decline. Emphasis on structural economic factors determining the shape of the CHD epidemic curve does not detract from the medical importance of risk factors, but underscores the importance of community development to public health improvements. The results are consistent with the idea that the course of the CHD epidemic in the United States has been strongly influenced by socio-economic development.
Global well-posedness and scattering of the (4+1)-dimensional Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation

description: This article constitutes the final and main part of a three-paper sequence, whose goal is to prove global well-posedness and scattering of the energy critical Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equation (MKG) on $\mathbb{R}^{1+4}$ for arbitrary finite energy initial data. Using the successively stronger continuation/scattering criteria established in the previous two papers, we carry out a blow-up analysis and deduce that the failure of global well-posedness and scattering implies the existence of a nontrivial stationary or self-similar solution to MKG. Then, by establishing that such solutions do not exist, we complete the proof.

description: We report three new records of leatherback sea turtle, Dermochelys coriacea (Vandelli, 1761) recovered in February 2011 and in spring-summer 2016 in the Strait of Sicily. The individuals were handed over dead to the IZS of Palermo for necropsy. The first specimen measured 139 and 91 cm of CCL and CCW respectively and was found beached and alive but died a few hours later for septicemia. The second measured 110 cm of CCL and 83 cm of CCW and showed a deep wound on its head probably due to contact with a boat propeller. The third individual measured 134 cm of CCL and 96 cm of CCW and had plastic bags, a piece of fishing net and debris of various nature in the stomach. For the second individual it was not possible to determine the sex because of the advanced state of decomposition, while the other two specimens were females and showed a typical picture of an immature ovary. These new records increase the knowledge on the presence of this species in the Mediterranean Sea and in particular along the Sicilian coast and are also useful for preparing strategic conservation plans.
