An analysis of the changes in health risk appraisal technology and epidemiology: Its impact on worksite health promotion programs and evaluation

description: The composite health risk measure of health age created by the 1984 CDC version 2.0 software was compared with the health age measure created by the 1991 Healthier People version 4.0c software. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences between the measures of health age as created from the different technologies, however, the direction of these differences was not specified. No specific hypothesis was postulated as to what health risk characteristics would be most influential in either the calculation of the health age measure, or the change of this measure over time. Baseline measures of health age between technologies were significantly different (t(284) = $-$6.70, p $<$.000), while retest measure showed no difference (t(284) = $-$.04, p $<$.971). The health age measure derived from the 1991 technology indicated a significant reduction in health age over time (t(284) = 13.27, p $<$.000), while the 1984 health age measure showed marginally significant change from baseline to retest (t(284) = 1.88, p $<$.061). Multivariate linear models were created for predicting the retest measure of health age from both technologies. Both equations account for over 96% of the variance in health age and show significant linear relationships among the variables (F(284) = 294.75, p $<$. 001 for the 1984 equation and (F(284) = 346.11, p $<$.001 for the 1991 equation). Exercise accounted for the most significant incremental change in the prediction model for the 1984 technology, as compared to systolic blood pressure for the 1991 technology. It is difficult, if not impossible to predict or specify a consistent difference in the actual health age measure resulting from these differences in technology alone. Health age differences are a result of the complex interaction of health risk characteristics within a population under study and the associated mix of changes to these characteristics as a result of some intervention. In general, the 1991 Healthier People health age measure will be more influenced by a few modifiable risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking-related indicators, and non-modifiable risk factors such as diabetes, when compared to the 1984 CDC health age measure.
Large two-atom two-photon vacuum Rabi oscillations in a high quality cavity

description: We predict large cooperative effect involving two atom two photon vacuum Rabi oscillations in a high quality cavity. The two photon emission occurs as a result of simultaneous de-excitation of both atoms with two photon resonance condition $ω_1+ω_2\approx ω_a+ω_b$, where $ω_1$, $ω_2$ are the atomic transition frequencies and $ω_a$, $ω_b$ are the frequencies of the emitted photons. The actual resonance condition depends on the vacuum Rabi couplings. The effect can be realized either with identical atoms in a bimodal cavity or with nonidentical atoms in a single mode cavity.

description: Micropsephodes serraticornis Champion
 Description. Length 1.30 mm; width 1.03 mm; depth 0.73 mm. Body highly convex. Color black throughout, tarsi and funicle pale. Head transverse. Punctures of head and pronotum smaller in size than eye facets, not impressed and separated by interpunctural spaces about equal to width of 1–4 punctures; those of elytron not similar to those of pronotum, separated by a space of 2–4 punctures. Antennal segmentation similar to M. lundgreni with funicle composed of small antennomeres and a club of elongate and flattened antennomeres. Antennal club about half length of entire antenna. Sub­basal punctate line of pronotum deeply impressed. Setae present on edge of elytron above epipleuron; length of middle setae about equal to length of tarsomere III; edge of epipleuron not visible in dorsal view. Umbo well developed.
 Type Material.
 Holotype, Sex Unknown. With labels as follow: Holotype [round label bordered with a red circle], sp. figured; Purula Vera Paz.; 1911­403; Micropsephodes serraticornis Ch. [hand written]; Tr. Ent. Soc. L. 1913 det. by Champion. The specimen is from Guatemala and is deposited in the Natural History Museum, London (BMNH).
 Comments. The single specimen of M. serraticornis is in relatively good shape. However, the left antenna, right middle leg, and maxillary palpomere are disarticulated lying separately from the body on the card, and two legs are missing from the left side. We did not remove this specimen from its card because of the risk of losing parts. As is, the specimen serves as an appropriate type specimen for the genus. Specimens of undescribed species from the Dominican Republic and Ecuador differ from M. serricornis by having welldeveloped flabellate antennae and the head not transverse.

description: An array of spheres descending slowly through a viscous fluid always clumps [J.M. Crowley, J. Fluid Mech. {\bf 45}, 151 (1971)]. We show that anisotropic particle shape qualitatively transforms this iconic instability of collective sedimentation. In experiment and theory on disks, aligned facing their neighbours in a horizontal one-dimensional lattice and settling at Reynolds number $\sim 10^{-4}$ in a quasi-two-dimensional slab geometry, we find that for large enough lattice spacing the coupling of disk orientation and translation rescues the array from the clumping instability. Despite the absence of inertia the resulting dynamics displays the wavelike excitations of a mass-and-spring array, with a conserved "momentum" in the form of the collective tilt of the disks and an emergent spring stiffness from the viscous hydrodynamic interaction. However, the non-normal character of the dynamical matrix leads to algebraic growth of perturbations even in the linearly stable regime. Stability analysis demarcates a phase boundary in the plane of wavenumber and lattice spacing, separating the regimes of algebraically growing waves and clumping, in quantitative agreement with our experiments. Anisotropic shape thus suppresses the classic linear instability of sedimenting sphere arrays, introduces a new conserved variable, and opens a window to the physics of transient growth of linearly stable modes.

description: We study the supergravity solutions describing non-extremal enhancons. There are two branches of solutions: a `shell branch' connected to the extremal solution, and a `horizon branch' which connects to the Schwarzschild black hole at large mass. We show that the shell branch solutions violate the weak energy condition, and are hence unphysical. We investigate linearized perturbations of the horizon branch and the extremal solution numerically, completing an investigation initiated in a previous paper. We show that these solutions are stable against the perturbations we consider. This provides further evidence that these latter supergravity solutions are capturing some of the true physics of the enhancon.

description: Among the various key networks in the human body, the nervous system occupies central importance. The debilitating effects of spinal cord injuries (SCI) impact a significant number of people throughout the world, and to date, there is no satisfactory method to treat them. In this paper, we review the major treatment techniques for SCI that include promising solutions based on information and communication technology (ICT) and identify the key characteristics of such systems. We then introduce two novel ICT-based treatment approaches for SCI. The first proposal is based on neural interface systems (NIS) with enhanced feedback, where the external machines are interfaced with the brain and the spinal cord such that the brain signals are directly routed to the limbs for movement. The second proposal relates to the design of self-organizing artificial neurons (ANs) that can be used to replace the injured or dead biological neurons. Apart from SCI treatment, the proposed methods may also be utilized as enabling technologies for neural interface applications by acting as bio-cyber interfaces between the nervous system and machines. Furthermore, under the framework of Internet of Bio- Nano Things (IoBNT), experience gained from SCI treatment techniques can be transferred to nano communication research.

description: The reaction pp->d K+ Kbar0 has been investigated at an excess energy of Q=46 MeV above the (K+ Kbar0) threshold with ANKE at COSY-Juelich. From the detected coincident dK+ pairs about 1000 events with a missing Kbar0 were identified, corresponding to a total cross section of sigma(pp->d K+ Kbar0)=(38 +/- 2(stat) +/- 14(syst)) nb. Invariant-mass and angular distributions have been jointly analyzed and reveal s-wave dominance between the two kaons, accompanied by a p-wave between the deuteron and the kaon system. This is interpreted in terms of a0+(980)-resonance production.

Counterparty Risk in Insurance Contracts: Should the Insured Worry about the Insurer?

description: We analyze the effect of counterparty risk on insurance contracts using the case of credit risk transfer in banking. In addition to the familiar moral hazard problem caused by the insuree’s ability to influence the probability of a claim, this paper uncovers a new moral hazard problem on the other side of the market. We show that the insurer’s investment strategy may not be in the best interests of the insuree. The reason for this is that if the insurer believes it is unlikely that a claim will be made, it is advantageous for them to invest in assets which earn higher returns, but may not be readily available if needed. This paper models both of these moral hazard problems in a unified framework. We find that instability in the insurer can create an incentive for the insuree to reveal superior information about the risk of their “investment”. In particular, a unique separating equilibrium may exist even in the absence of any signalling device. We extend the model and show that increasing the number of insurers with which the insuree contracts can exacerbate the moral hazard problem and may not decrease counterparty risk. Our research suggests that regulators should be wary of risk being offloaded to other, possibly unstable parties, especially in newer financial markets such as that of credit derivatives.
The rotating black hole interior: Insights from gravitational collapse in $AdS_3$ spacetime

description: We present results from a numerical study of rotating black hole formation in 3-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, focusing on the structure of the black hole interior. While black holes in $AdS_3$ are of theoretical interest for a wide variety of reasons, we choose to study this system primarily as a toy model for astrophysical (4-dimensional) black holes formed from gravitational collapse. We investigate the effect of angular momentum on the geometry inside the event horizon, and see qualitative changes in the interior structure as a function of the spin parameter. For low spins, we find that a central spacelike curvature singularity forms, connecting to a singular, null Cauchy horizon. For spins above a threshold consistent with the linear analysis of Dias, Reall and Santos, curvature on the Cauchy horizon remains bounded, signaling a violation of the strong cosmic censorship conjecture. Further increasing the spin leads to a decrease in the relative size of the spacelike branch of the singularity, which vanishes completely above a second threshold. In these high-spin cases, the interior evolution is bounded by a regular Cauchy horizon, which extends all the way inward to a regular, timelike origin. We further explore the geodesic focusing ("gravitational shock-wave") effect predicted to occur along the outgoing branch of the inner horizon, first described by Marolf and Ori. Remarkably, we observe the effect at late times in all of the black holes we form, even those in which the inner apparent horizon collapses to zero radius early in their evolution.

description: This paper studies career mobility of white male doctorates in natural sciences and engineering using the Survey of Doctorate Recipients (1973-2001). The paper focuses on two issues. First, it assesses the relevance of doctoral careers to sciences and engineering (S&E) in general, and research and development in particular. Second, it evaluates participation rates and mobility patterns of doctorates in careers of different types. To analyze how various factors affect mobility, a transition model with competing risks is specified and estimated. The paper finds that only half of doctorates have careers in R&D, and another 8% work in occupations outside the scope of S&E. Employment choices vary throughout a career. Mobility both within- and out of S&E is especially high during the first 16 years on the job. The effects of individual and job characteristics, research productivity, and labor market conditions on transitions are also assessed.

description: Purchasing power parity (PPP) is one of the most important, but empirically controversial theories in international macroeconomics. Although many researchers believe that some variant of PPP holds in the long-run, there are diverse empirical results regarding the PPP hypothesis. We examine the PPP hypothesis from an alternate point of view: we investigate the possibility of financial market integration, and world economic stabilization toward PPP, by examining the change in the persistence of PPP deviations during the last three decades. We employ a fractional integration framework, which provides a powerful tool to detect changes in the persistence for highly persistent time series. First, we test the null hypothesis of no decline in the persistence of PPP deviations. The test rejects the null at the 10% significance level for 11 out of 17 countries, thus providing strong support for financial market integration and world economic stabilization toward PPP. Second, we examine the dynamics of the persistence of PPP deviations during the last three decades through rolling-window estimation. Our results show that the persistence of PPP deviations has decreased gradually, and that many real exchange rates have experienced a sharp drop in their persistence once samples starting in the mid- 1980s are used. Interestingly, this timing almost coincides with the timing of U.S./world economic stabilization reported by other studies. We also examine the relation between the persistence of PPP deviations and de facto measures of financial integration by Lane and Milesi-Ferretti (2006). We confirm that they are strongly correlated for all countries. This finding suggests that the recent promotion of financial integration is one of the main sources of the decline in the persistence of PPP deviations.

Personality correlates of male sexual orientation and recalled childhood sex-typed behaviors
Creators: name: Patterson, Chavis Alan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: I explored the relationships between sexual orientation, recalled childhood sex-typed behavior (RCSTB), and personality traits in a group of 145 heterosexual and 114 homosexual men. The Kinsey scales assessed the participants' sexual orientation a questionnaire assessed recalled childhood sex-typed behaviors, and the Neuroticism Extraversion and Openness Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO-PI-R) and 16 Personality Factor Inventory (16PF) defined personality traits. In agreement with previous research, there was a strong correlation between sexual orientation and recalled childhood sex-typed behaviors. Heterosexual men recalled stereotypically masculine childhoods whereas homosexual men described more diverse and generally more feminine activities. As expected from the literature, significant correlations were obtained between sexual orientation and three domains of adult personality. Compared to heterosexual men, gay men were more tender-minded and ascetic; more open to different values, feelings, and actions, and more anxious. In heterosexual men, childhood femininity was associated with multiple adult characteristics including tender-mindedness, openness, introversion, and lack of conscientiousness. In contrast, with gay men the main adult correlate of childhood femininity was anxiety. This provides the first indication that the origins or development of sex-typed behaviors in gay men may be qualitatively different than in heterosexual men. I discuss the implications of this finding for the further understanding of the complex interactions among personality, sexuality, and childhood behavior.

The dynamical net charge fluctuations are evaluated using the $ν_{+-,dyn}$ observable. Dynamical fluctuations measured in Au Au collisions at 130 and 200 GeV are finite, and exceed charge conservation limits. They deviate from a perfect 1/N scaling and provide an indication that the collision dynamics varies with collision centrality.

We observe oscillations of the critical temperature when varying the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer for both s-wave and d-wave superconductors. However, for a rotated d-wave order parameter the critical temperature differs considerably from that for the unrotated case. In addition we calculate the density of states for different thicknesses of the ferromagnetic layer; the results reflect the oscillatory behaviour of the superconducting correlations.

Reinventing budgeting: A comparison between the United States and Italy
Creators: name: Seguiti, Maria Laura
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation is a comparative study on the national budgets of two countries: the United States and Italy. It revolves around the following principal research questions: what is the direction of the two budget systems? What are the major driving forces?; The author formulates the hypothesis that there is a convergence of the two systems. This hypothesis is tested by conducting an historical, cross-national analysis from the birth of the two nations to the present time. Both international and domestic forces (political, economic and social) are examined. Four historical periods are highlighted in relation to budget reforms. The first period spans from the birth of each nation to the First World War. The second period covers the years between the First and the Second World Wars. The third period goes from the post Second World War to the end of the 1970s. The fourth period covers the 1980s and the 1990s, until today. At the beginning, Italy and the United States were far apart carrying a different historical and cultural heritage and aiming at solving different internal problems. A national budget system was established in different times and with different characteristics. However, the principle of a balanced budget was a common feature. Later, the occurrence of drastic international events (World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II) pushed the two countries closer to each other. Both the United States and Italy experienced a growing expansion of government intervention and a large-scale deficit spending. Over the past decade, as a result of the profound transformation both at the international and domestic levels, the debate has focused on less role of government and a smaller role of the budget. Both countries are scaling back government intervention and welfare benefits. Institutional and administrative reforms are directed to reduce bureaucracy, to decentralize government activities, bring simplicity, transparency, and flexibility to administrative procedures. Deficit spending is being replaced by the balanced budget principle. A trend seems to be emerging toward budget simplification and toward budget uniformity. This study leads to the conclusion that the budgets of the two countries are converging. From the birth of each nation to the present time, under the pressure of the international as well as domestic environments, the policy makers have taken certain choices in the direction of a convergence in budgeting.

description: The US economy experienced a Great Moderation sometime in the mid-1980s – a fall in the volatility of output growth – at the same time as a fall in both the volatility of inflation and the average rate of inflation. We put this moderation in historical perspective by comparing it to the post-WWII moderation. According to theory, the statistical moments – both real and nominal – that shift during these moderations in turn influence interest rates. We examine the predictions for shifts in the unconditional average of US interest rates. A central finding is that such shifts probably were due to changes in average inflation rather than to those in the variances of inflation and consumption growth.

description: Ultra-luminous Compact X-ray Sources (ULXs) in nearby spiral galaxies and Galactic superluminal jet sources share the common spectral characteristic that they have unusually high disk temperatures which cannot be explained in the framework of the standard optically thick accretion disk in the Schwarzschild metric. On the other hand, the standard accretion disk around the Kerr black hole might explain the observed high disk temperature, as the inner radius of the Kerr disk gets smaller and the disk temperature can be consequently higher. However, we point out that the observable Kerr disk spectra becomes significantly harder than Schwarzschild disk spectra only when the disk is highly inclined. This is because the emission from the innermost part of the accretion disk is Doppler-boosted for an edge-on Kerr disk, while hardly seen for a face-on disk. The Galactic superluminal jet sources are known to be highly inclined systems, thus their energy spectra may be explained with the standard Kerr disk with known black hole masses. For ULXs, on the other hand, the standard Kerr disk model seems implausible, since it is highly unlikely that their accretion disks are preferentially inclined, and, if edge-on Kerr disk model is applied, the black hole mass becomes unreasonably large (> 300 M_solar). Instead, the slim disk (advection dominated optically thick disk) model is likely to explain the observed super-Eddington luminosities, hard energy spectra, and spectral variations of ULXs. We suggest that ULXs are accreting black holes with a few tens of solar mass, which is not unexpected from the standard stellar evolution scenario, and that their X-ray emission is from the slim disk shining at super-Eddington luminosities.

description: Field-induced excitation gaps in quantum spin chains are an interesting phenomenon related to confinements of topological excitations. In this paper, I present a novel type of this phenomenon. I show that an effective magnetic field with a fourfold screw symmetry induces the excitation gap accompanied by dimer orders. The gap and dimer orders induced so exhibit characteristic power-law dependence on the fourfold screw-symmetric field. Moreover, the field-induced dimer order and the field-induced Néel order coexist when the external uniform magnetic field, the fourfold screw-symmetric field, and the twofold staggered field are applied. This situation is in close connection with a compound [Cu(pym)(H$_2$O)$_4$]SiF$_6$ [J. Liu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 057207 (2019)]. In this paper, I discuss a mechanism of field-induced dimer orders by using a density-matrix renormalization group method, a perturbation theory, and quantum field theories.

description: This paper develops an equilibrium search and matching model to jointly study the aggregate, sectoral, and distributional impacts of labour adjustment. The model extends Pissarides (2000) to include multisector production and search and ‘innovation’ from investments that can potentially improve a match’s productivity. These extensions deliver two mechanisms for inter-sectoral and intra-sectoral labour reallocation after shocks. First, because workers search simultaneously in multiple sectors, changes in labour market conditions in one sector propagate to impact wages and hiring in the rest of the economy through a reservation wage effect. Second, a positive productivity shock causes firms to invest more resources in innovation. This innovation effect shifts production towards high-skill jobs and amplifies the impact of productivity shocks relative to the baseline model. I show that the model is useful for analyzing labour adjustments caused by a diverse set of factors including: technological change; persistent energy price and exchange rate shocks; and trade liberalization. Finally, because the transition dynamics between steady-states are tractable, the model can be readily-applied to the data to study particular labour adjustment episodes.

description: This dissertation is a comparative study on the national budgets of two countries: the United States and Italy. It revolves around the following principal research questions: what is the direction of the two budget systems? What are the major driving forces?; The author formulates the hypothesis that there is a convergence of the two systems. This hypothesis is tested by conducting an historical, cross-national analysis from the birth of the two nations to the present time. Both international and domestic forces (political, economic and social) are examined. Four historical periods are highlighted in relation to budget reforms. The first period spans from the birth of each nation to the First World War. The second period covers the years between the First and the Second World Wars. The third period goes from the post Second World War to the end of the 1970s. The fourth period covers the 1980s and the 1990s, until today. At the beginning, Italy and the United States were far apart carrying a different historical and cultural heritage and aiming at solving different internal problems. A national budget system was established in different times and with different characteristics. However, the principle of a balanced budget was a common feature. Later, the occurrence of drastic international events (World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II) pushed the two countries closer to each other.

Lost in Transition: The Costs and Consequences of Sectoral Labour Adjustment

description: This paper demonstrates that factors which impede labour market adjustments can have first-order impacts on aggregate output and social welfare. While several studies find that individual workers can face large and persistent sectoral reallocation costs, this paper shows that these costs are important at the aggregate level. I use a search and matching model to isolate and quantify two factors that contribute to the costly and time-consuming adjustment process: search frictions and an inability to transfer match-specific skills to new jobs. I apply the model to examine Canada’s sectoral labour adjustment after a global increase in commodity prices and associated exchange rate appreciation. These developments reorganized production to the resource sector and away from manufacturing. The model quantitatively captures both the sectoral employment and wage effects and the response of unemployment to changes in unemployment benefits. The model estimates that the costs of adjustment are economically important, accounting for up to three percent of output during the transition. These costs arise mainly in the first three years after the shock and are due largely to non-transferable skills. Finally, the analysis reveals important policy implications. Because changes to unemployment benefits affect sectors differently, these changes impact the economy’s sectoral composition and aggregate productivity.
