description: Past work has suggested that people prescribe optimism—believing it is better to be optimistic, instead of accurate or pessimistic, about uncertain future events. Here, we identified and addressed an important ambiguity about whether those findings reflect an endorsement of biased beliefs—i.e., whether people prescribe likelihood estimates that reflect overoptimism. In three studies, participants (total N = 663 U.S. university students) read scenarios about protagonists facing uncertain events with a desired outcome. Results replicated prescriptions of optimism when using the same solicitations as in past work. However, we found quite different prescriptions when using alternative solicitations that asked about potential bias in likelihood estimations and that did not involve vague terms like “optimistic.” Participants generally prescribed being optimistic, feeling optimistic, and even thinking optimistically about the events, but they did not prescribe overestimating the likelihood of those events.

description: BACKGROUND: The impact of dust storms on human health has been studied in the context of Asian, Saharan, Arabian, and Australian storms, but there has been no recent population-level epidemiological research on the dust storms in North America. The relevance of dust storms to public health is likely to increase as extreme weather events are predicted to become more frequent with anticipated changes in climate through the 21st century.

OBJECTIVES: We examined the association between dust storms and county-level non-accidental mortality in the United States from 1993 through 2005.

METHODS: Dust storm incidence data, including date and approximate location, are taken from the U.S. National Weather Service storm database. County-level mortality data for the years 1993-2005 were acquired from the National Center for Health Statistics. Distributed lag conditional logistic regression models under a time-stratified case-crossover design were used to study the relationship between dust storms and daily mortality counts over the whole United States and in Arizona and California specifically. End points included total non-accidental mortality and three mortality subgroups (cardiovascular, respiratory, and other non-accidental).

RESULTS: We estimated that for the United States as a whole, total non-accidental mortality increased by 7.4% (95% CI: 1.6, 13.5; p = 0.011) and 6.7% (95% CI: 1.1, 12.6; p = 0.018) at 2- and 3-day lags, respectively, and by an average of 2.7% (95% CI: 0.4, 5.1; p = 0.023) over lags 0-5 compared with referent days. Significant associations with non-accidental mortality were estimated for California (lag 2 and 0-5 day) and Arizona (lag 3), for cardiovascular mortality in the United States (lag 2) and Arizona (lag 3), and for other non-accidental mortality in California (lags 1-3 and 0-5).

CONCLUSIONS: Dust storms are associated with increases in lagged non-accidental and cardiovascular mortality. Citation: Crooks JL, Cascio WE, Percy MS, Reyes J, Neas LM, Hilborn ED. 2016.

Hypothesis 3

description: Hypothesis aim 3. It is expected that both gratitude journal conditions, compared to the no-intervention control, will lead to improvements in affect and self-esteem, based on prior findings of improved wellbeing after gratitude journaling (Wood et al., 2010). However, it is hypothesized that the IM FAB program will lead to improved state body image satisfaction, body appreciation, and self-esteem, and decreased self-objectification, and disordered eating compared to the non-body-focused gratitude condition, due to the specific body-appreciation focus of the ME and gratitude prompts (Brooks & Walker, manuscript in preparation; Tylka & Wood-Barcalow, 2015).

description: We report the discovery of transient radio emission from the nearby optically-discovered TDE ASASSN-14li (distance of 90 Mpc), making it the first typical TDE detected in the radio, and unambiguously pointing to the formation of a non-relativistic outflow with a kinetic energy of $\approx (4-10)\times10^{47}$ erg, a velocity of $\approx 12,000-36,000$ km s$^{-1}$, and a mass of $\approx 3\times10^{-5}-7\times10^{-4}$ M$_{\odot}$. We show that the outflow was ejected on 2014 August 11--25, in agreement with an independent estimate of the timing of super-Eddington accretion based on the optical, UV, and X-ray observations, and that the ejected mass corresponds to about $1-10\%$ of the mass accreted in the super-Eddington phase. The temporal evolution of the radio emission also uncovers the circumnuclear density profile, $ρ(R)\propto R^{-2.5}$ on a scale of about 0.01 pc, a scale that cannot be probed via direct measurements even in the nearest SMBHs. Our discovery of radio emission from the nearest well-studied TDE to date, with a radio luminosity lower than all previous limits, indicates that non-relativistic outflows are ubiquitous in TDEs, and that future, more sensitive, radio surveys will uncover similar events.

The model includes self-gravity, non-equilibrium cooling, shielding from an interstellar radiation field, the chemistry of H$_2$ formation, H$_2$-independent star formation, supernova feedback and metal enrichment. We find that the H$_2$ mass fraction is sensitive to the adopted dust-to-gas ratio and the strength of the interstellar radiation field, while the star formation rate is not. Star formation is regulated by stellar feedback, keeping the gas out of thermal equilibrium for densities $n

The Impact of Individual Anthropogenic Emissions Sectors on the Global Burden of Human Mortality due to Ambient Air Pollution

description: BACKGROUND: Exposure to ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) can cause adverse health effects, including premature mortality due to cardiopulmonary diseases and lung cancer. Recent studies quantify global air pollution mortality but not the contribution of different emissions sectors, or they focus on a specific sector.

OBJECTIVES: We estimated the global mortality burden of anthropogenic ozone and PM2.5, and the impact of five emissions sectors, using a global chemical transport model at a finer horizontal resolution (0.67° × 0.5°) than previous studies.

METHODS: We performed simulations for 2005 using the Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers, version 4 (MOZART-4), zeroing out all anthropogenic emissions and emissions from specific sectors (All Transportation, Land Transportation, Energy, Industry, and Residential and Commercial). We estimated premature mortality using a log-linear concentration-response function for ozone and an integrated exposure-response model for PM2.5.

RESULTS: We estimated 2.23 (95% CI: 1.04, 3.33) million deaths/year related to anthropogenic PM2.5, with the highest mortality in East Asia (48%). The Residential and Commercial sector had the greatest impact globally-675 (95% CI: 428, 899) thousand deaths/year-and in most regions. Land Transportation dominated in North America (32% of total anthropogenic PM2.5 mortality), and it had nearly the same impact (24%) as Residential and Commercial (27%) in Europe. Anthropogenic ozone was associated with 493 (95% CI: 122, 989) thousand deaths/year, with the Land Transportation sector having the greatest impact globally (16%).

CONCLUSIONS: The contributions of emissions sectors to ambient air pollution-related mortality differ among regions, suggesting region-specific air pollution control strategies. Global sector-specific actions targeting Land Transportation (ozone) and Residential and Commercial (PM2.5) sectors would particularly benefit human health.

description: We study the problem of selecting the best sampling set for bandlimited reconstruction of signals on graphs. A frequency domain representation for graph signals can be defined using the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of variation operators that take into account the underlying graph connectivity. Smoothly varying signals defined on the nodes are of particular interest in various applications, and tend to be approximately bandlimited in the frequency basis. Sampling theory for graph signals deals with the problem of choosing the best subset of nodes for reconstructing a bandlimited signal from its samples. Most approaches to this problem require a computation of the frequency basis (i.e., the eigenvectors of the variation operator), followed by a search procedure using the basis elements. This can be impractical, in terms of storage and time complexity, for real datasets involving very large graphs. We circumvent this issue in our formulation by introducing quantities called graph spectral proxies, defined using the powers of the variation operator, in order to approximate the spectral content of graph signals. This allows us to formulate a direct sampling set selection approach that does not require the computation and storage of the basis elements. We show that our approach also provides stable reconstruction when the samples are noisy or when the original signal is only approximately bandlimited. Furthermore, the proposed approach is valid for any choice of the variation operator, thereby covering a wide range of graphs and applications. We demonstrate its effectiveness through various numerical experiments.

description: Given the scope for improvement in guidance and the lack of appropriate incentives, we have every reason to suspect there will be issues in MAs investigating treatments for ADHD. Alternatively, given the risk of harm of misleading or unreliable MA findings, one might assume that MAs are properly reported and are appreciably reproducible. To our knowledge, neither conclusion has been systematically tested. Thus, in this project, we aim to conduct a feasibility study assessing adherence to PRISMA reporting guidelines and the reproducibility of results of MAs that investigate treatments for ADHD.
The Water Quality in Rio Highlights the Global Public Health Concern Over Untreated Sewage

description: Water quality issues in Rio have been widely publicized because of the 2016 Olympics. Recent concerns about polluted waters that athletes may be exposed to highlights the conditions that more than a billion people globally are exposed to daily. Despite these unhealthy conditions, much is unknown about the risks and exposure pathways associated with bathing in or drinking untreated or partially treated sewage. Beyond acute illness, we are learning more about the chronic sequelae that arise from repeated exposure to pathogens found in sewage. Additionally, we do not know enough about how to measure water quality, especially in developing countries. A consequence of these knowledge gaps is that data from developed countries are used to guide public health approaches in low- and middle-income settings. More data that are locally specific are needed to inform guidelines for improving sanitation and water quality in Rio and other cities in developing countries.

description: We perform a systematic study of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the Husimi lattice using numerical tensor-network methods based on Projected Entangled Simplex States (PESS). The nature of the ground state varies strongly with the spin quantum number, $S$. For $S = 1/2$, it is an algebraic (gapless) quantum spin liquid. For $S = 1$, it is a gapped, non-magnetic state with spontaneous breaking of triangle symmetry (a trimerized simplex-solid state). For $S = 2$, it is a simplex-solid state with a spin gap and no symmetry-breaking; both integer-spin simplex-solid states are characterized by specific degeneracies in the entanglement spectrum. For $S = 3/2$, and indeed for all spin values $S \ge 5/2$, the ground states have $120$-degree antiferromagnetic order. In a finite magnetic field, we find that, irrespective of the value of $S$, there is always a plateau in the magnetization at $m = 1/3$.

description: Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder associated with poor outcomes and complications, including falls, fractures, physical disability, and death. The aim of this review is to assess the possible influence on outcomes of sarcopenia in patients who underwent knee or hip replacement. A systematic review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL and CENTRAL bibliographic databases were searched. General study characteristics extracted were: primary author and country, year of publication, type of study, level of evidence (LOE), sample size, mean age, sex, follow up, type of surgery, diagnosis, outcomes. At the final screening, 5 articles met the selection criteria and were included in the review. It seems to be the case that sarcopenia influences the Barthel index (BI) which is significantly lower compared to normal patients, which indicates that the patient is subjected to a worsening of this condition that can influence their normal life, since they will become dependent on someone else. No according about mortality rate was found between the studies. This systematic review addressed the possible role sarcopenia in patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. Despite the lack of high-quality literature on this topic, a general trend in considering sarcopenia as a negative factor for quality of life in joint replacement patients was reported. However, the lack of significant results makes not possible to report useful conclusions.

description: In accordance with the EU Energy Efficiency Directive all Member States have to develop a comprehensive assessment of the potential for high-efficient CHP and efficient district heating and cooling by the end of 2015. This paper describes the approach and methodology used to determine the district heating potentials for Austria. In a first step actual and future heating and cooling demand in the building sector is evaluated using the techno-economic bottom-up model Invert/EE-Lab. Relevant infrastructure probably existing in 2025 is investigated and included into the analysis. Technical potentials for efficient technologies are calculated. After a classification of relevant regions into main and secondary regions a country-level cost-benefit-analysis is performed. The results indicate that there is a reasonable additional potential for district heating by the year 2025 under our central scenario assumptions and within sensitivity scenarios. Only in scenarios with high CO2-price or low gas price, CHP is an economically efficient solution to supply district heat.

description: BACKGROUND: Metabolism of inorganic arsenic (iAs) is subject to inter-individual variability, which is explained partly by genetic determinants.

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association of genetic variants with arsenic species and principal components of arsenic species in the Strong Heart Family Study (SHFS).

METHODS: We examined variants previously associated with cardiometabolic traits (~ 200,000 from Illumina Cardio MetaboChip) or arsenic metabolism and toxicity (670) among 2,428 American Indian participants in the SHFS. Urine arsenic species were measured by high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS), and percent arsenic species [iAs, monomethylarsonate (MMA), and dimethylarsinate (DMA), divided by their sum × 100] were logit transformed. We created two orthogonal principal components that summarized iAs, MMA, and DMA and were also phenotypes for genetic analyses. Linear regression was performed for each phenotype, dependent on allele dosage of the variant. Models accounted for familial relatedness and were adjusted for age, sex, total arsenic levels, and population stratification. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associations were stratified by study site and were meta-analyzed. Bonferroni correction was used to account for multiple testing.

RESULTS: Variants at 10q24 were statistically significant for all percent arsenic species and principal components of arsenic species. The index SNP for iAs%, MMA%, and DMA% (rs12768205) and for the principal components (rs3740394, rs3740393) were located near AS3MT, whose gene product catalyzes methylation of iAs to MMA and DMA. Among the candidate arsenic variant associations, functional SNPs in AS3MT and 10q24 were most significant (p < 9.33 × 10-5).

CONCLUSIONS: This hypothesis-driven association study supports the role of common variants in arsenic metabolism, particularly AS3MT and 10q24.

description: How can an individual's decisions under uncertainty be altered so that the individual not only considers personal but also the social effects of the available alternatives? During the COVID19 pandemic the decision of parents to keep sick children at home, even with mild symptoms, is an example of a decision with personal and public effects. Parents have to consider the cost of taking a sick day and the social benefit of preventing possible infections. When facing this decision parents might not consider the negative social effect and therefore maximize personal outcomes. This poses the question which interventions alter decisions under uncertainty in order to maximize social welfare. Two general ways to increase the salience of effects on others can be distinguished: a focus on a specific individual or a focus on general social costs. The objective of the proposed project is to investigate the effectiveness of three interventions (general information about COVID-19, empathy induction through the focus on an individual and mental simulation of costs for others) to increase the likelihood that parents keep sick children at home (Phome).

description: This study is part of project that contains two key studies – Study 1 included an online survey querying the researchers about their practice of knowledge of OLS assumptions. Study 2 includes an online analysis exercise where researchers are asked to analyse two datasets and make notes of their analytic process as they are completing the task. This preregistration contains information about Study 2. Pre-data analysis preregistration for Study 1 will be linked to the main project repository in due course (expected April 2021). The data collection began in January 2021. At the time of writing, over 150 responses have been submitted for Study 2. As the data for both studies are being stored into the same Qualtrics dataset, data for Study will not be downloaded and checked for completeness until the preregistration for Study 1 is also submitted (expected early April 2021). The present study will require post-hoc coding of analytic practice, which is why we are submitting an open-ended preregistration. Although we do have a list of items that we want to code for each submission (attached to this preregistration), we are unable to fully predict all the possible data analytic behaviours that may be of interest. It is expected that the attached list will be expanded as the coding progresses.

description: Assessing cumulative effects of the multiple environmental factors influencing mortality remains a challenging task. This study aimed to examine the associations between cumulative environmental quality and all-cause and leading cause-specific (heart disease, cancer, and stroke) mortality rates. We used the overall Environmental Quality Index (EQI) and its five domain indices (air, water, land, built, and sociodemographic) to represent environmental exposure. Associations between the EQI and mortality rates (CDC WONDER) for counties in the contiguous United States (n = 3,109) were investigated using multiple linear regression models and random intercept and random slope hierarchical models. Urbanicity, climate, and a combination of the two were used to explore the spatial patterns in the associations. We found 1 standard deviation increase in the overall EQI (worse environment) was associated with a mean 3.22% (95% CI: 2.80%, 3.64%) increase in all-cause mortality, a 0.54% (95% CI: –0.17%, 1.25%) increase in heart disease mortality, a 2.71% (95% CI: 2.21%, 3.22%) increase in cancer mortality, and a 2.25% (95% CI: 1.11%, 3.39%) increase in stroke mortality. Among the environmental domains, the associations ranged from –1.27% (95% CI: –1.70%, –0.84%) to 3.37% (95% CI: 2.90%, 3.84%) for all-cause mortality, –2.62% (95% CI: –3.52%, –1.73%) to 4.50% (95% CI: 3.73%, 5.27%) for heart disease mortality, –0.88% (95% CI: –2.12%, 0.36%) to 3.72% (95% CI: 2.38%, 5.06%) for stroke mortality, and –0.68% (95% CI: –1.19%, –0.18%) to 3.01% (95% CI: 2.46%, 3.56%) for cancer mortality. Air had the largest associations with all-cause, heart disease, and cancer mortality, whereas the sociodemographic index had the largest association with stroke mortality. Across the urbanicity gradient, no consistent trend was found. Across climate regions, the associations ranged from 2.29% (95% CI: 1.87%, 2.72%) to 5.30% (95% CI: 4.30%, 6.30%) for overall EQI, and larger associations were generally found in dry areas for both overall EQI and domain indices. These results suggest that poor environmental quality, particularly poor air quality, was associated with increased mortality and that associations vary by urbanicity and climate region.

description: Magnetic helicity has the remarkable property of being a conserved quantity of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Therefore, it could be used as an effective tracer of the magnetic field evolution of magnetized plasmas. Theoretical estimations indicate that magnetic helicity is also essentially conserved with non-ideal MHD processes, e.g. magnetic reconnection. This conjecture has however been barely tested, either experimentally or numerically. Thanks to recent advances in magnetic helicity estimation methods, it is now possible to test numerically its dissipation level in general three-dimensional datasets. We first revisit the general formulation of the temporal variation of relative magnetic helicity on a fully bounded volume when no hypothesis on the gauge are made. We introduce a method to precisely estimate its dissipation independently of the type of non-ideal MHD processes occurring. In a solar-like eruptive event simulation, using different gauges, we compare its estimation in a finite volume with its time-integrated flux through the boundaries, hence testing the conservation and dissipation of helicity. We provide an upper bound of the real dissipation of magnetic helicity: It is quasi-null during the quasi-ideal MHD phase. Even when magnetic reconnection is acting the relative dissipation of magnetic helicity is also very small (<2.2%), in particular compared to the relative dissipation of magnetic energy (>30 times larger). We finally illustrate how the helicity-flux terms involving velocity components are gauge dependent, hence limiting their physical meaning.

description: Most design optimisation studies for district heating systems have focused on the optimal sizing of network assets and on the location of production units. However, the strategic value of the flexibility in phasing of the inherently modular heat networks, which is an important aspect in many feasibility studies for district heating schemes in the UK, is almost always neglected in the scientific literature. This paper considers the sequential problem faced by a decision-maker in the phasing of long-term investments into district heating networks and their expansions. The problem is formulated as a multi-stage stochastic programme to determine the annual capital expenditure that maximises the expected net present value of the project. The optimisation approach is illustrated by applying it to the hypothetical case of the UK’s Marston Vale eco town. It was found that the approach is capable of simulating the optimal growth of a network, from both a single heat source or separate islands of growth, as well as the optimal marginal expansion of an existing district heating network. The proposed approach can be used by decision makers as a framework to determine both the optimal phasing and extension of district heating networks and can be adapted simply to various, more complex real-life situations by introducing additional constraints and parameters. The versatility of the base formulation also makes it a powerful approach regardless of the size of the network and also potentially applicable to cooling networks.

description: Following the advice of the editor and the referees, we designed an additional survey for the project “COVID-19 and pro-sociality: the effect of pandemic severity and increased pandemic awareness on charitable giving.” The main aim of this survey is to better understand the mechanism behind the results of our main experiment, where we found higher giving in the treatment with the COVID-19 framing compared to the control treatment without the COVID-19 framing. In addition, the survey aims at informing us about a potential experimenter demand effect arising in the main experiment. See the attached document for all details.

description: BACKGROUND: Remote sensing (RS) is increasingly used for exposure assessment in epidemiological and burden of disease studies, including those investigating whether chronic exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with mortality.

OBJECTIVES: We compared relative risk estimates of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system for PM2.5 modeled from RS with that for PM2.5 modeled using ground-level information.

METHODS: We geocoded the baseline residence of 668,629 American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS-II) cohort participants followed from 1982 to 2004 and assigned PM2.5 levels to all participants using seven different exposure models. Most of the exposure models were averaged for the years 2002-2004, and one RS estimate was for a longer, contemporaneous period. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate relative risks (RRs) for the association of PM2.5 with circulatory mortality and ischemic heart disease.

RESULTS: Estimates of mortality risk differed among exposure models. The smallest relative risk was observed for the RS estimates that excluded ground-based monitors for circulatory deaths [RR = 1.02, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00, 1.04 per 10 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5]. The largest relative risk was observed for the land-use regression model that included traffic information (RR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.17 per 10 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5).

CONCLUSIONS: We found significant associations between PM2.5 and mortality in every model; however, relative risks estimated from exposure models using ground-based information were generally larger than those estimated using RS alone.
