THE INFLUENCE OF LIVING ARRANGEMENT ON ADOLESCENTS' RISKY SEXUAL BEHAVIOR IN SEBETA TOWN, OROMIA REGIONAL STATE, ETHIOPIA: SCHOOL BASED COMPARATIVE CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY.
Creators: name: BIRUK DESTA
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: Background: - Adolescence is an important period in human development where a person

reaches sexual maturity, manifest in sexual engagement; thus encountering the possibility of

contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/STIs. Living arrangement of adolescents

can expose them to risky sexual behavior increasing the chances of acquiring HIV/STIs.

However, the effect of living arrangement of adolescents on risky sexual behavior has not been

adequately studied.

Objective- To assess the influence of living arrangement on adolescents’risky sexual behavior

among high school/preparatory students in Sebeta Town Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Methods – School based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in Sebeta secondary

schools from Dec 2015 to june 2016.A sample of 361was taken for each group (those living with

their family and those not living with their family).Students from governmental schools from

grade 9 – 12 were included in the study. Data was collected using pretested interviewer

administered questionnaire. Descriptive and summary statistics was done. Bivariate and

multivariate analysis was done using logistic regression on STATA version 12.1 software to

measure the association of living arrangement on risky sexual behavior and identify other factors

associated with risky sexual behavior.
LE CHIESE DUPLICES DELL'ORDINE DI SAN GIOVANNI DI GERUSALEMME (SECOLI XII-XIII). TRA ICONOGRAFIA ARCHITETTONICA ED ESIGENZE FUNZIONALI

description: The term "duplices churches" refers to those sacred buildings that contain two superimposed worship rooms. The distinctive features of a duplex church are not only derived from its architectural form. They also affect the way the two superimposed worships rooms are used, so much so that a church can only be defined as duplex if the liturgical purpose of both floors can be demonstrated. The functional analysis (directly linked to the study of the sacral topography of the different monastery) makes it possible to demonstrate how the overlapping of two worship rooms depends on practical reasons ? linked to the needs of the human groups that gravitated around the monasteries ? and cannot be traced back to a real architectural iconography. Why it was decided to duplicate the sacred space and what the functions of the two superimposed rooms were, are the questions that led to the limitation of the field of investigation. In fact, by preferring the duplices churches erected or managed by the Knights of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, it is possible to have a coherent field of investigation, on which one can draw well?founded comparisons and fully understand the phenomenon. The study focuses on ten Hospitallers monasteries, built in Europe and Jerusalem between the early 12th century and the turn of the 13th century. Only five of these turn out to have a duplex church, while the remaining ones can be traced back to other types (tower churches, churches with emporium, churches with upper floor for secular use). Also in the case of the duplices churches, the variety of solutions adopted (formal and functional) demonstrates once again how the duplex form cannot be considered an architectural iconography, or even more the architectural iconography preferred by the Hospitallers. Duplices churches were erected to meet practical needs, first of all the need to be open to the lay population and at the same time to have a space where monks could retire in prayer. Also the morphology of the area or the existence of other buildings could lead to the duplex form, while rarer ? but still proven ? were the symbolic meanings.

description: Starting from Newton's gravitational theory, we give a general introduction into the spherically symmetric solution of Einstein's vacuum field equation, the Schwarzschild(-Droste) solution, and into one specific stationary axially symmetric solution, the Kerr solution. The Schwarzschild solution is unique and its metric can be interpreted as the exterior gravitational field of a spherically symmetric mass. The Kerr solution is only unique if the multipole moments of its mass and its angular momentum take on prescribed values. Its metric can be interpreted as the exterior gravitational field of a suitably rotating mass distribution. Both solutions describe objects exhibiting an event horizon, a frontier of no return. The corresponding notion of a black hole is explained to some extent. Eventually, we present some generalizations of the Kerr solution.

description: Background and Objectives. Leukemia relapse occurring in donor cells after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been reported in rare cases. Cytogenetic analysis and molecular probing of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) have been used to confirm this unusual event in the few cases so far reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that extensive molecular characterization of leukemic cells at diagnosis and relapse may be necessary to avoid many technical pitfalls possibly leading to an erroneous diagnosis of leukemia relapse in donor cells after allogeneic transplantation. Design and Methods. We report the case of a 49-year old man who received an allogeneic transplantation from his HLA-identical sister because of BCR-ABI+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). After having achieved complete hematologic and molecular remission, two years later an overt leukemia relapse occurred with cytogenetic findings suggesting a leukemia relapse in donor cells. The donor or patient origin of leukemic cells at relapse was further investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) karyotyping, reverse transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis of BCR-ABL chimeric transcripts, PCR amplification of several VNTRs and the Y chromosome-specific DYS14 sequence and finally by amplification, cloning and sequencing of the CDRIII region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene. Results. At the time of relapse, conventional and FISH karyotyping revealed the presence of a Phl+ chromosome and a female karyotype in all the 25 metaphases analyzed and PCR amplification of the Y chromosome-specific DYS14 sequence was negative. Moreover, the molecular evaluation of hematopoietic chimerism performed by the NZ-22 VNTR allowed us to demonstrate that at the time of relapse, a consistent proportion of hematopoietic cells was of donor origin. However, the molecular cloning and sequencing of the CDRIII region of the immunoglobuin heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangement in leukemic blasts at diagnosis and relapse demonstrated their identity thus formally proving the patient origin of both leukemic clones. Interpretation and Conclusions. While the simplest interpretation of the apparent female karyotype at relapse is the consequence of a loss of the Y chromosome which in leukemic blasts took place along with duplication of an X-chromosome, this case strongly emphasizes the need for accurate and extensive molecular characterization to prove the donor origin of a leukemia relapse after allogeneic transplantation.

description: In this article, flexible and rigid polyurethane (PU)/copper (Cu) composites are prepared via a simple and cost effective solution casting process. The filler dispersion and chemical bonding of composites are investigated by SEM and FTIR techniques. The results showed the homogeneous dispersion of Cu microparticles. Furthermore, thermal properties are investigated using DMA, DSC, and thermal conductivity measurements. The maximum improvement in thermal conductivity for flexible and rigid PU composites is 24%, and 48%, respectively, as compared to their pure counterparts. The obtained thermal conductivity values are also compared and analyzed with the mechanical property model (Corans and Patel model) and found in good agreement with the output of the model. DMA results showed enhancement in the storage modulus with filler loading while the DSC results revealed the endothermic temperature did not significantly change with adding Cu filler in both flexible and rigid PU matrices. The mechanical properties of composites were studied using tensile and hardness (Shore A and Shore D) test. For flexible PU composites an improvement in tensile strength (43%), Young's modulus (111%), Shore A hardness (6%), Shore D hardness (27%) as compared to pure flexible PU. For rigid PU composites a reduction in tensile strength (23%), Young's modulus (32%), and an increase in Shore A hardness (3%), Shore D hardness (5%) as compared to pure rigid PU. As a result of the current study, TC of rigid PU is found doubly enhanced compared to flexible PU at the same filler concentration. Copper microparticles can act as active filler in both flexible and rigid PU matrices.

description: High fidelity entanglement of an on-chip array of spin qubits poses many challenges. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can ease some of these challenges by enabling long-ranged entanglement via electric dipole-dipole interactions, microwave photons, or phonons. However, SOC exposes conventional spin qubits to decoherence from electrical noise. Here we propose an acceptor-based spin-orbit qubit in silicon offering long-range entanglement at a sweet spot where the qubit is protected from electrical noise. The qubit relies on quadrupolar SOC with the interface and gate potentials. As required for surface codes, $10^5$ electrically mediated single-qubit and $10^4$ dipole-dipole mediated two-qubit gates are possible in the predicted spin lifetime. Moreover, circuit quantum electrodynamics with single spins is feasible, including dispersive readout, cavity-mediated entanglement, and spin-photon entanglement. An industrially relevant silicon-based platform is employed.

description: In this study, nine patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n=6) and Hodgkin's disease (n=3) receiving different cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens were given granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (C-CSF) (5 μg/kg/day) from 48 hours after the end of chemotherapy to 48 hours before the next chemotherapy administration. The decrease in mean absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) and in mean platelet (Plt) counts was not significant when pre-therapy counts were compared with posttherapy ones (p < 0.375 and p > 0.4, respectively). The mean actual dose intensity was 92% (range 68-100%). G-CSF treatment after chemotherapy reduces neutropenia and permits administration of the full chemotherapy program. A wash-out period between G-CSF treatment and chemotherapy administration is needed to prevent the detrimental effect of chemotherapy on leukocyte and platelet recovery when repeated cycles of cytotoxic drugs and G-CSF are administered.

Dead Ringers: A pulsation explanation for supersoft X-ray oscillations

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: X-ray monitoring over the past couple of decades has revealed that some novae exhibit variability, with periods ranging from tens of seconds to an hour, throughout the supersoft phase. While the supersoft X-ray oscillations (SSXOs) with periods greater than 5 minutes have been linked to the rotation of a magnetized white dwarf, the origin of short period (tens of seconds) SSXOs remains a mystery. Using MESA with wd_builder, we have constructed a model of a 1.3 M⊙ CO white dwarf (matching mass and composition estimates of RS Oph, a recurrent nova with a twice-measured 35 s SSXO period) going through outburst and the subsequent supersoft phase. Using GYRE to calculate the dipole (l=1) oscillation modes of the WD, we find that the envelope modes go through a series of avoided crossings with a core-trapped mode whose 35 s period remains constant throughout the supersoft phase. Using a classical analog to the quantum-mechanical Landau-Zener effect, we determine that approximately 80% of the initial energy stays in the 35 s mode as avoided crossings are traversed, with the remainder leaking into the envelope where it can stimulate the observed variability. This core mode is a promising explanation for the origin of SSXOs, provided the outburst can energize the mode.
Sylvia Lin, Representing Atrocity in Taiwan: The 2/28 Incident and White Terror in Fiction and Film
Creators: Lupke, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2011

This is a review of Sylvia Lin's important book-length consideration of literature and film from Taiwan that addresses issues of historical trauma such as the February 28th Incident of 1949 and the resulting White Terror period that lasted for several decades in Taiwan. Lin deals with some well-known authors but she also devotes attention to Taiwanese literary figures that are not as well known outside of Taiwan. The book is theoretically savvy, as it draws on the work of Dominick LaCapra, Pierre Janet, Mieke Bal, Ann Whitehead, Maurice Halbwach, Maureen Turim, Avrom Fleishman, and Thomas Elsaesser, among others.

description: In this article we define an algebraic vertex of a generalized polyhedron and show that it is the smallest set of points needed to define the polyhedron. We prove that the indicator function of a generalized polytope $P$ is a linear combination of indicator functions of simplices whose vertices are algebraic vertices of $P$. We also show that the indicator function of any generalized polyhedron is a linear combination, with integer coefficients, of indicator functions of cones with apices at algebraic vertices and line-cones. The concept of an algebraic vertex is closely related to the Fourier--Laplace transform. We show that a point $\mathbf{v}$ is an algebraic vertex of a generalized polyhedron $P$ if and only if the tangent cone of $P$, at $\mathbf{v}$, has non-zero Fourier--Laplace transform.

Development of Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tool for Human Brucellosis - SURF Spring 2021
Creators: name: Iyamu, Osahon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the gram-negative bacteria of the genus Brucella. This infectious disease has a tremendous economic and social impact in regions in central Africa.  An estimated $500 million to $1 billion USD income potential could be generated in central Africa if the disease is eradicated. Brucellosis infections can cause symptoms such as spontaneous abortions, chronic infection, coughing, muscle pain, fevers, and many other peripheral organ complications. Despite these pervasive issues caused by the disease, challenges remain for its diagnosis. Not only is it difficult to differentiate the symptoms from other infectious diseases like malaria, but common means for diagnosing Brucellosis are also both impractical and nonspecific. These concerns necessitate the creation of a new cost-effective, sensitive, specific, and user-friendly approach to diagnosing Brucellosis. Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) is an isothermal DNA amplification technique that utilizes single-stranded binding proteins (SSBs), primers, and oligonucleotides to generate amplified DNA in under 30 minutes. RPA used in conjunction with lateral flow (LF) platforms creates an effective means for detecting nucleic acids in comparison to other methods. In this study, we designed and optimized a Brucella RPA-LF assay to target the most common bacterial strains observed in human Brucellosis. The assay appears to have a lower limit of detection of 1.37 genomes by probit analysis and demonstrates high specificity for Brucella strains. Future directions will look at other methods for extracting DNA necessary to run the RPA-LF assay and implementing the diagnostic test in southwestern rural Uganda to clinically validate the assay.

Lessons From the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
Creators: name: Hatsios, Zoe
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: On September 11, 2001,
the United States encountered
two comprehensive
and unforeseen dilemmas, brought
forth by the suicide attacks which
took the lives of many American
citizens. A plan of action had to
be formulated, for recovering internally
by ensuring the safety and
comfort of American citizens, and
for avenging the terrorist attacks
by targeting Al-Qaeda, a terrorist
group which operated out of the
Middle East (originally Pakistan).
The Bush Administration’s solution
was to launch a public, global War
on Terror which “[would] not end
until every terrorist group of global
reach has been found, stopped and
defeated.” Nineteen years later, the
U.S. military is operating counterterrorism
missions in eighty nations
on six continents, and it has cost
nearly six trillion dollars and half a
million lives. However, a significant
portion of the U.S. strategy has focused
on Iraq and Afghanistan. As
a result of involvement in these two countries and of the failure to reach
counterterrorist and state-building
goals, American public opinion has
shifted largely against the wars. Yet,
despite a toppling national debt and
both vertical and horizontal growth
of terrorist groups, both Obama
and Trump initially supported increasing
troop levels to the Middle
East. Since both wars were similar
in their mission, these strategic failures
offer many meaningful lessons.
An analysis of what caused the U.S.
to enter Iraq and Afghanistan and
what keeps U.S. military presence in
the Middle East, as well as an understanding
of weak state dynamics, is
necessary to determine the primary
lesson(s) that can be drawn from the
conflicts.

Contemporary Conflict: The Role of Hybrid and Assymmetric Threats
Creators: name: Pierro, Matthew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: In recent decades, the international
stage has witnessed
warfare’s evolution away from
conventional tactics. Whereas, historically,
rivaling nation-states dueled
on rigid battlefields to determine
a clear victor, modern tactics
have blurred the lines between war
and peace while also removing definite
fronts, actors, and necessary
capabilities. This is representative of
contemporary asymmetric threats:
generally used by weaker actors in
conflict to exploit vulnerabilities in
a more powerful opponent, they circumvent
direct confrontation while
being irregular and difficult to combat.
In unison with traditional war
tactics, these asymmetric conflicts
combine to form hybrid warfare.
This paper will seek to define asymmetric
and hybrid threats, their status-
modeling conflict in the 21st
century, and the actors, both state
and non-state, that drive their use.
Further, a variety of case studies will be discussed to exemplify asymmetric
and hybrid tactics in warfare.
Finally, national and international
defense systems will be examined,
from which recommendations to
combat asymmetric and hybrid tactics
will be made.

The photon self-energy is calculated by the Schwinger-Dyson equation with the lattice quark propagtor and a vertex function determined so as to satisfy the Ward-Takahashi identity. The obtained dilepton production rate at zero momentum exhibits divergences reflecting van Hove singularity, and is significantly enhanced around $ω\simeq T$ compared with the rate obtained by the perturbative analysis.

Undocumented Latino Immigrants: A Unique Challenge in UN Agencies’ Realization of the Right to Food
Creators: name: Therber, Sophie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: United Nations (UN) agencies
have laid forth the
framework of human
rights, including the right to health,
which encompasses the right to
food. The right to food is more than
just access to basic staples; rather,
it has been clarified and expanded
to include the rights to nutrition
and food security. Although these
rights apply to undocumented Latino
immigrants in the U.S., they face
disproportionate food insecurity.
Undocumented Latino immigrants
are left unprotected by the national
government, facing significant barriers
to accessing food assistance
programs, health insurance, and legal
protection. This paper examines
the origins of the right to food, focusing on the role of UN agencies in
the creation and promotion of this
right. This paper also highlights the
unique circumstances of undocumented
Latino immigrants, focusing
on the tension between the need to
access assistance programs and the
fear of punishment or deportation.
While UN agencies have taken steps
to protect some vulnerable groups,
such protections are currently lacking
for undocumented Latino immigrants
in the United States. Despite
their shortcomings in securing
undocumented migrants’ right to
food, UN agencies can do much
more to address food security by
expanding the conceptualization of
rights-holders and duty-bearers to
encompass state obligations to undocumented
immigrants. Furthermore,
this paper presents directions
for future policy to promote undocumented
immigrants’ realization of
the right to food.

role in global health governance
are undeniable. Since the WHO
was founded in 1947, it has been
responsible for nearly eradicating
polio, creating guidelines for declaring
international public health
emergencies, and addressing health
inequities between developed and
developing countries. Currently,
the WHO coordinates the creation
of the seasonal flu vaccine, leads
the international response to health
emergencies, and performs research
and interventions on ongoing health
crises worldwide. While the value
of the WHO to the world seems
obvious, its insufficient response to
the spread of COVID-19 has shown
the limits of its organizational structure
in coordinating a global public
health response. Many world leaders
are now seemingly at a crossroads:
reform the WHO and allow it to combat the pandemics of the
future, or abandon it altogether and
find a better option for the world.
A Critique of the Organization of African Unity (OAU): A Comparison of Attempted Interventions by the OAU and the African Union
Creators: name: Lee, Erin

description: One of the most striking
features of contemporary
African history is how often
actors have committed human
rights abuses against people across
national borders. This paper seeks to
compare the effectiveness of the Organization
of African Unity (OAU),
and its successor, the African Union
(AU), in protecting human rights on
the continent. I hypothesize that the
OAU, already weakened by internal
Cold War divisions, was ill-adapted
to the challenges and conflicts
of the last half of the 20th century.
Throughout its existence, the OAU
failed to encourage better governance
and stand up against human
rights abuses. The AU was consciously
better structured to intervene
in human rights abuses, which
it did in three key ways: explicit recognition of human rights; moving
from the policy of non-interference
to non-indifference so the African
Union had the right to intervene;
and creating a regional peacekeeping
force. In this essay, I seek to answer
the question of whether or not
the AU accomplished its mission of
establishing the principle of non-indifference
and holding its members
to a higher standard of human
rights, through four case studies.

description: Weinberger recently finished her first manuscript, entitled Mashiach
Mashiach, for her senior honors thesis. While Canaan is not among her most current collection,
it embodies the poet’s introspective nature and the conflict an individual faces when reckoning
with their people’s painful past.

description: We report comprehensive studies of the crystallographic,magnetic, and thermal properties of a spinel-type magnetically frustrated compound, CoAl2O4, and a magnetically diluted system,Co1-xZnxAl2O4. These studies revealed the effects of dilution and disorder when the tetrahedral magnetic Co ion was replaced by the nonmagnetic Zn ion. Low-temperature anomalies were observed in magnetic susceptibility at x < 0.6. A multicritical point was apparent at T = 3.4 K and x = 0.12, where the antiferromagnetic, spin glass-like, and paramagnetic phases met. At that point, the quenched ferromagnetic component induced by a magnetic field during cooling was sharply enhanced and was observable below x = 0.6. Around x = 0.6, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat were described by temperature power laws, chi ~ C/T ~ T-d, in accord with the site percolation threshold of the diamond lattice. This behavior is reminiscent of a quantum critical singularity. We propose an x-temperature phase diagram in the range 0 < x < 1 for Co1-xZnxAl2O4. The transition temperature of CoAl2O4 determined from magnetic susceptibility measured under hydrostatic pressure increased with increasing pressure.

Characterizing the Electrocatalytic Activity of a Novel Manganese CO2 Reduction Catalyst in Preparation for Catalyst Attachment to an Electrode Surface
Creators: name: Nehemiah Stewart
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Our increasing global population and technologically driven society has incurred extensive energy demands that have been met thus far with the burning of fossil fuels that release dangerous greenhouse gases into the environment like carbon dioxide. In recent years, engineers and communities alike have made a serious shift towards developing reliable, sustainable energy sources that can transition us away from our dependence on fossil fuels. However, current renewable energy techniques and devices are not able to store the energy provided by their natural energy source. Therefore, we use molecular catalysts to reduce carbon dioxide into energy storage compounds like formate in a two electron transfer process in the presence of acid as reported by Deronzier and Kubiak, who worked extensively with the Mn(CO)3(bpy)Br catalysts where the bipyridine ligand was 4,4’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine. However, catalytic efficiency is limited by the concentration of catalyst that is present on the electrode surface in an activated state and recyclability of the catalyst. We seek to circumvent these issues and significantly improve catalytic efficiency by covalently attaching a Mn(CO)3(bpy)Br catalyst to an electrode surface using a classic Grignard reaction. 

To this end, we will use a novel Mn(CO)3(bpy)Br catalyst, where the bipyridine ligand is 5,5’-dimethyl-2,2’-bipyridine (5,5’-dmbpy) for surface attachment. This work will describe the synthetic and electrochemical characterization of the novel Mn(CO)3(5,5’-dmbpy)Br catalyst to gain an understanding of the unique mechanism it employs to reduce carbon dioxide under catalytic conditions. We found that in a coordinating solvent like CH3CN, the catalyst undergoes a CEC mechanism to enter its activated state, wherein the chemical step of halide loss precedes electron transfer and a subsequent chemical step of dimerization which is broken by a final electron transfer. This mechanism stands in contrast to that seen in a non-coordinating solvent like DMF, wherein the catalyst enters its activated state via an ECC mechanism, wherein electron transfer precedes two consecutive chemical steps of halide loss and dimerization and a final electron transfer.

description: Purpose. The aim of the article is to determine, using the example of the Luhansk region, modern trends in the life of rural and settlement communities in Ukraine and to substantiate the starting points and scenarios for their socio-economic development. Methodology / approach. The methodology of cognition and presentation of material consists in modern dialectics using a set of specific methods. In particular, the method of systemic-structural analysis is used to reveal the systemic content of the reform of local self-government and determine its role in ensuring sustainable development of Ukraine. The factor analysis method was used to identify the factors of community development. Economic-and-mathematical methods are applied in the systematization of the empirical material collected by the authors of the modern development of communities in Ukraine and the Luhansk region. Results. On the example of the Luhansk region, the content of the determining factors in the development of rural and settlement communities of the country has been identified and disclosed. The priority scientific and practical tasks of identifying points and justifying scenarios for sustainable socio-economic development of rural and settlement communities in Ukraine have been established. Originality / scientific novelty. For the first time, the multidirectional factors of the modern development of rural and settlement communities in Ukraine, in particular the Luhansk region, have been systematized; general trends in the development of the country’s communities have been identified, highlighting both their positive and negative manifestations. Practical value / implications. The practical value lies in the substantiation of the initial applied base for the development of long-term plans for the development of rural and settlement communities. The materials of the article will be used in the context of providing consulting assistance to the heads of local self-government bodies and activists of the united territorial communities of the Luhansk region in order to develop an effective and transparent management system, its orientation towards achieving the goals of sustainable socio-economic development of rural areas.
Immigrant Earnings in the Time Series (1950-2004)
Creators: name: Venkatasubramanian, Deepak
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This paper seeks to document how immigrant earnings for a given country evolve over time and identify evidence from immigration literature that could explain any observable trends. By analyzing birth cohorts of immigrants from IPUMS Microsamples and the American Community Survey, I find that immigrant earnings have been increasing since 1950 with each cohort, earning 0.95% higher wages per year relative to natives. I also attempt to rationalize the presence this cohort trend through the use of the human capital proxies of educational attainment
and literacy rates. They do not seem to account for the presence of the cohort effect. Moreover, I observe that as low income countries grow in per capita income, the relative earnings of their immigrants rise. Finally, I find that exposure to their source country contributes to the presence of stronger cohort effects by studying the children of immigrants.

description: A defining feature of non-stationary systems is the time dependence of their statistical parameters. Measured time series may exhibit Gaussian statistics on short time horizons, due to the central limit theorem. The sample statistics for long time horizons, however, averages over the time-dependent parameters. To model the long-term statistical behavior, we compound the local distribution with the distribution of its parameters. Here we consider two concrete, but diverse examples of such non-stationary systems, the turbulent air flow of a fan and a time series of foreign exchange rates. Our main focus is to empirically determine the appropriate parameter distribution for the compounding approach. To this end we have to estimate the parameter distribution for univariate time series in a highly non-stationary situation.
