Closing the Black-White Gap in Birth Outcomes: A Life-course Approach

Year: 2010

description: In the United States, Black infants have significantly worse birth outcomes than White infants. Over the past decades, public health efforts to address these disparities have focused primarily on increasing access to prenatal care, however, this has not led to closing the gap in birth outcomes. We propose a 12-point plan to reduce Black-White disparities in birth outcomes using a life-course approach. The first four points (increase access to interconception care, preconception care, quality prenatal care, and healthcare throughout the life course) address the needs of African American women for quality healthcare across the lifespan. The next four points (strengthen father involvement, systems integration, reproductive social capital, and community building) go beyond individual-level interventions to address enhancing family and community systems that may influence the health of pregnant women, families, and communities. The last four points (close the education gap, reduce poverty, support working mothers, and undo racism) move beyond the biomedical model to address the social and economic inequities that underlie much of health disparities. Closing the Black-White gap in birth outcomes requires a life course approach which addresses both early life disadvantages and cumulative allostatic load over the life course.

description: Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have emerged as a promising wireless technology for the dynamic configuration and control of electromagnetic waves, thus creating a smart (programmable) radio environment. In this context, we study a multi-IRS assisted two-way communication system consisting of two users that employ full-duplex (FD) technology. More specifically, we deal with the joint IRS location and size (i.e., the number of reflecting elements) optimization in order to minimize an upper bound of system outage probability under various constraints: minimum and maximum number of reflecting elements per IRS, maximum number of installed IRSs, maximum total number of reflecting elements (implicit bound on the signaling overhead) as well as maximum total IRS installation cost. First, the problem is formulated as a discrete optimization problem and, then, a theoretical proof of its NP-hardness is given. Moreover, we provide a lower bound on the optimum value by solving a linear-programming relaxation (LPR) problem. Subsequently, we design two polynomial-time algorithms, a deterministic greedy algorithm and a randomized approximation algorithm, based on the LPR solution. The former is a heuristic method that always computes a feasible solution for which (a posteriori) performance guarantee can be provided. The latter achieves an approximate solution, using randomized rounding, with provable (a priori) probabilistic guarantees on the performance. Furthermore, extensive numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms compared to the baseline schemes. Finally, useful conclusions regarding the comparison between FD and conventional half-duplex (HD) systems are also drawn.

description: The manner in which gas accretes and orbits within circumnuclear rings has direct implications for the star formation process. In particular, gas may be compressed and shocked at the inflow points, resulting in bursts of star formation at these locations. Afterwards the gas and young stars move together through the ring. In addition, star formation may occur throughout the ring, if and when the gas reaches sufficient density to collapse under gravity. These two scenarios for star formation in rings are often referred to as the `pearls on a string' and `popcorn' paradigms. In this paper, we use new Herschel PACS observations, obtained as part of the KINGFISH Open Time Key Program, along with archival Spitzer and ground-based observations from the SINGS Legacy project, to investigate the heating and cooling of the interstellar medium in the nearby star-forming ring galaxy, NGC4736. By comparing spatially resolved estimates of the stellar FUV flux available for heating, with the gas and dust cooling derived from the FIR continuum and line emission, we show that while star formation is indeed dominant at the inflow points in NGC 4736, additional star formation is needed to balance the gas heating and cooling throughout the ring. This additional component most likely arises from the general increase in gas density in the ring over its lifetime. Our data provide strong evidence, therefore, for a combination of the two paradigms for star formation in the ring in NGC4736.

description: Abdominal fat deposition has been shown to be related to hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes. Studies have shown a correlation between cortisol (a stress hormone) and abdominal fat deposition. Low socioeconomic position (SEP) has also been shown to be related to abdominal fat deposition. It is hypothesized that chronic stress associated with low SEP leads to high cortisol levels which in turn lead to abdominal fat deposition. Previous research in this area has included mainly European subjects. The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence for the SEP-chronic stress-cortisol-abdominal fat hypothesis in a sample of African American and White American women.

description: The nutritional value of lipids depends not only on their energy equivalent, but also on the metabolism, structure, composition and changes that occur during the technological processing of the product. The characteristic of unsaturated lipids determines their ability to react with molecular oxygen. As a result, the accumulation of oxidation products is detrimental to health. The nature and amount of oxidation products are closely related to temperature and thermal effects, the presence of water, salts, hemoglobin and myoglobin, amino acids, free fatty acids.

description: During the past two decades, there has been an increased use of community-based participatory research in public health activities, especially as part of efforts to understand health disparities affecting communities of color. This article describes the history and lessons learned of a long-standing community participatory project, Healthy African American Families (HAAF), in Los Angeles, California. HAAF evolved from a partnership formed by a community advisory board, university, and federal health agency to an independent, incorporated community organization that facilitates and brokers research and health promotion activities within its community. HAAF created mechanisms for community education and networks of community relationships and reciprocity through which mutual support, research, and interventions are integrated. These sustained, institutionalized relationships unite resources and both community and scientific expertise in a community-partnered participatory research model to address multiple health problems in the community, including preterm birth, HIV, asthma, depression, and diabetes. The HAAF participatory process builds on existing community resiliency and resources and on centuries of self-help, problem-solving, cooperative action, and community activism within the African American community. HAAF demonstrates how community-partnered participatory research can be a mechanism for directing power, collective action, system change, and social justice in the process of addressing health disparities at the community level.
A conjectural connection between R^*(C_g^n) and R^*(M_{g,n}^rt)

description: Let M_{g,n}^rt be the moduli space of stable n-pointed curves of genus g>1 with rational tails. We also consider the space C_g^n classifying smooth curves of genus g with not necessarily distinct n ordered points. There is a natural proper map from M_{g,n}^rt to C_g^n which contracts all rational components. Tautological classes on these spaces are natural algebraic cycles reflecting the geometry of curves. In this short note we study the connection between tautological classes on M_{g,n}^rt and C_g^n. We show that there is a natural filtration on the tautological ring of M_{g,n}^rt consisting of g-2+n steps. A conjectural dictionary between tautological relations on M_{g,n}^rt and C_g^n is presented. Our conjecture predicts that the space of relations in R^*(M_{g,n}^rt) is generated by relations in R^*(C_g^n) together with a class of relations obtained from the geometry of blow-ups. This conjecture is equivalent to the the independence of certain tautological classes in Chow. We prove the analogue version of our conjecture for the Gorenstein quotients of tautological rings.

description: We calculate a nondissipative spin current and show that it can flow with or without a charge current. We consider a two-band model which can be applied to the description of Fe-based pnictides in coexistence regime of superconductivity and spin-density wave. Using quasiclassical Green's functions approach and tunneling Hamiltonian method we show that there exists a possibility to switch off the Josephson current while leaving the spin current finite. Moreover, it is possible to have the critical Josephson current and the critical spin current being proportional to each other, thus giving a possibility to measure the spin current via the Josephson current. The underlying mechanism is the interfering hopping of electron--hole pairs between different bands of the superconductors composing the junction. This is an intrinsic property of the system and provides a unique and natural way to utilize junctions made solely of pnictides in promising applications in spintronics devices.

description: We exhibit the geometric structure of the convex cone in the linear space of the Wilson coefficients for the dimension-8 operators involving the left-handed lepton doublet $L$ and the Higgs doublet $H$ in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT). The boundary of the convex cone gives rise to the positivity bounds on the Wilson coefficients, while the extremal ray corresponds to the unique particle state in the theory of ultra-violet completion. Among three types of canonical seesaw models for neutrino masses, we discover that only right-handed neutrinos in the type-I seesaw model show up as one of extremal rays, whereas the heavy particles in the type-II and type-III seesaw models live inside the cone. The experimental determination of the relevant Wilson coefficients close to the extremal ray of type-I seesaw model will unambiguously pin down or rule out the latter as the origin of neutrino masses. This discovery offers a novel way to distinguish the most popular seesaw model from others, and also strengthens the SMEFT as an especially powerful tool to probe new physics beyond the Standard Model.

description: Biodiversity varies predictably with environmental energy around the globe, but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The evolutionary speed hypothesis predicts that environmental energy shapes variation in speciation rates through temperature- or life history-dependent rates of evolution. To test whether variation in evolutionary speed can explain the relationship between energy and biodiversity in birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles, we simulated diversification over 65 million years of geological and climatic change with a spatially explicit eco-evolutionary simulation model. We modeled four distinct evolutionary scenarios in which speciation-completion rates were dependent on temperature (M1), life history (M2), temperature and life history (M3), or were independent of temperature and life-history (M0). To assess the agreement between simulated and empirical data, we performed model selection by fitting supervised machine learning models to multidimensional biodiversity patterns. We show that a model with temperature-dependent rates of speciation (M1) consistently had the strongest support. In contrast to statistical inferences, which showed no general relationships between temperature and speciation rates in tetrapods, we demonstrate how process-based modeling can disentangle the causes behind empirical biodiversity patterns. Our study highlights how environmental energy has played a fundamental role in the evolution of biodiversity over deep time.

description: These data were generated to investigate the role of temperature- and body size-dependent rates of speciation on global biodiversity patterns in tetrapods (birds, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles). Using large, published datasets of spatial, phylogenetic, and body size data, we estimated 54 metrics that summarise different kinds of biodiversity patterns. We used a spatially-explicit simulation model to generate spatial, phylogenetic, and body size data under four alternative models of diversification in which speciation-completion rates were dependent on temperature (M1), life history (M2), temperature and life history (M3), or were independent of temperature and life-history (M0). The simulation model used published paleo-reconstructions of temperature and aridity over the past 200 Ma as input. From the simulated spatial, phylogenetic, and body size data, we estimated the same set of 54 biodiversity metrics. To assess the agreement between simulated and empirical data, we performed model selection by fitting supervised machine learning models to multidimensional biodiversity patterns.

description: The uncertainty principle is one of the fundamental features of quantum mechanics and plays a vital role in quantum information processing. We study uncertainty relations based on metric-adjusted skew information for finite quantum observables. Motivated by the paper [Physical Review A 104, 052414 (2021)], we establish tighter uncertainty relations in terms of different norm inequalities. Naturally, we generalize the method to uncertainty relations of metric-adjusted skew information for quantum channels and unitary operators. As both the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew information and the quantum Fisher information are the special cases of the metric-adjusted skew information corresponding to different Morozova-Chentsov functions, our results generalize some existing uncertainty relations. Detailed examples are given to illustrate the advantages of our methods.

description: Before 1870, Britain had been able to rely on naval and financial strength to protect her empire where necessary until such time as the expected separation of the settlement colonies into independent polities occurred. However, a series of changes in geopolitics, and in naval technology had undermined this security and had resulted in an increased awareness in military, naval, colonial and imperial circles - among those characterised as "Jingoes" - of the dangers to which the empire was exposed. Spurred on by the Balkan crisis of 1876-78, a far more active approach was taken to war planning, which resulted in a more integrated approach to imperial defence under Lord Carnarvon. It is also posited that Gladstone's Bulgarian agitation and the struggle between Disraeli, Derby and Salisbury over the correct response to the Balkan crisis destroyed the confidence of many colonial, imperial, naval and military figures in elected politicians and thus encouraged the disobedience of Lytton and Frere. Disasters at Isandlwana and Kabul however discredited the defence establishment and allowed a programme of anti-imperialist reaction to emerge, under the leadership of Gladstone. The subsequent working out of this policy caused such disquiet that Gladstone's cabinet was to break up over imperial defence issues and resulted in the commitment of Britain to a more positive espousal of imperial virtue and a determination to see the empire as an asset and defend it accordingly. Thus, within the period 1870- 1885, Britain underwent a revolution in Imperial policy, from a rejection of empire, to a virtuous acceptance of it.
A Semi-Analytical Line Transfer (SALT) model to interpret the spectra of galaxy outflows

description: We present a Semi-Analytical Line Transfer model, SALT, to study the absorption and re-emission line profiles from expanding galactic envelopes. The envelopes are described as a superposition of shells with density and velocity varying with the distance from the center. We adopt the Sobolev approximation to describe the interaction between the photons escaping from each shell and the remaining of the envelope. We include the effect of multiple scatterings within each shell, properly accounting for the atomic structure of the scattering ions. We also account for the effect of a finite circular aperture on actual observations. For equal geometries and density distributions, our models reproduce the main features of the profiles generated with more complicated transfer codes. Also, our SALT line profiles nicely reproduce the typical asymmetric resonant absorption line profiles observed in star-forming/starburst galaxies whereas these absorption profiles cannot be reproduced with thin shells moving at a fixed outflow velocity. We show that scattered resonant emission fills in the resonant absorption profiles, with a strength that is different for each transition. Observationally, the effect of resonant filling depends on both the outflow geometry and the size of the outflow relative to the spectroscopic aperture. Neglecting these effects will lead to incorrect values of gas covering fraction and column density. When a fluorescent channel is available, the resonant profiles alone cannot be used to infer the presence of scattered re-emission. Conversely, the presence of emission lines of fluorescent transitions reveals that emission filling cannot be neglected.

description: The death of massive stars is believed to involve aspheric explosions initiated by the collapse of an iron core. The specifics of how these catastrophic explosions proceed remain uncertain due, in part, to limited observational constraints on various processes that can introduce asymmetries deep inside the star. Here we present near-infrared observations of the young Milky Way supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, descendant of a type IIb core-collapse explosion, and a three-dimensional map of its interior, unshocked ejecta. The remnant's interior has a bubble-like morphology that smoothly connects to and helps explain the multi-ringed structures seen in the remnant's bright reverse shocked main shell of expanding debris. This internal structure may have originated from turbulent mixing processes that encouraged the development of outwardly expanding plumes of radioactive 56Ni-rich ejecta. If this is true, substantial amounts of its decay product, 56Fe, may still reside in these interior cavities.

description: We present results for the steady-state nonlinear response of a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconducting film connected to normal-metal reservoirs under voltage bias, allowing for a subdominant $s$-wave component appearing near the interfaces. Our investigation is based on a current-conserving theory that self-consistently includes the non-equilibrium distribution functions, charge imbalance, and the voltage-dependencies of order parameters and scalar impurity self-energies. For a pure $d$-wave superconductor with [110] orientation of the interfaces to the contacts, the conductance contains a zero-bias peak reflecting the large density of zero-energy interface Andreev bound states. Including a subdominant $s$-wave pairing channel, it is in equilibrium energetically favorable for an $s$-wave order parameter component $Δ_\mathrm{s}$ to appear near the interfaces in the time-reversal symmetry breaking combination $d+is$. The Andreev states then shift to finite energies in the density of states. Under voltage bias, we find that the non-equilibrium distribution in the contact area causes a rapid suppression of the $s$-wave component to zero as the voltage $eV\rightarrowΔ_\mathrm{s}$. The resulting spectral rearrangements and voltage-dependent scattering amplitudes lead to a pronounced non-thermally broadened split of the zero-bias conductance peak that is not seen in a non-selfconsistent Landauer-Büttiker scattering approach.

description: The hexagonal superconductor SrPtAs exhibits time-reversal-symmetry breaking below $T_c$, hinting at an unconventional pairing state. Therefore, the symmetry of the underlying crystal is important for the classification of possible gap structures and their mixing. Here, we use the generating point group D$_{6h}$ of SrPtAs for a comprehensive classification of the gap functions and to construct a tight-binding model. Our work clarifies questions of symmetry and topology in this non-symmorphic material and allows for better comparison with other hexagonal systems.

Despite this known fast variability, X-ray observations have generally not revealed variability in blazars with rate doubling or halving timescales less than approximately 15 min. Since its launch, the Swift X-ray Telescope has obtained 0.2-10 keV X-ray data on 143 AGNs, including blazars, through intense target of opportunity observations that can be analyzed in a multiwavelength context and used to model jet parameters, particularly during flare states. We have analyzed this broad Swift data set in a search for short timescale variability in blazars that could limit the size of the emission region in the blazar jet. While we do find several low-significance possible flares with potential indications of rapid variability, we find no strong evidence for rapid ($

description: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) Sociocultural Ancillary Study aims to examine associations between sociocultural and psychosocial factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic syndrome prevalence in Hispanics/Latinos. The conceptual framework is based on the Reserve Capacity and Lifespan Biopsychosocial Models, which emphasize multiple risk and protective pathways underlying socioeconomic and ethnic influences in health. This study describes the rationale, participants, and procedures for the HCHS/SOL Sociocultural Ancillary Study.

description: Momentum space entanglement entropy probes quantum correlations in interacting fermionic phases. It is very sensitive to interactions, obeying volume-law scaling in general, while vanishing in the Fermi gas. We show that the Rényi entropy in momentum space has a systematic expansion in terms of the phase space volume of the partition, which holds at all orders in perturbation theory. This permits, for example, the controlled computation of the entropy of thin shells near the Fermi wavevector in isotropic Fermi liquids and BCS superconductors. In the Fermi liquid, the thin shell entropy is a universal function of the quasiparticle residue. In the superconductor, it reflects the formation of Cooper pairs. Momentum space Rényi entropies are accessible in cold atomic and molecular gas experiments through a time-of-flight generalization of previously implemented measurement protocols.

description: The propagation of TeV gamma rays can be strongly modified by B-field induced conversion to axionlike particles (ALPs). We show that, at such high energies, photon dispersion is dominated by background photons - the only example where photon-photon dispersion is of practical relevance. We determine the refractive index for all energies and find that, for fixed energy density, background photons below the pair-production threshold dominate. The cosmic microwave background alone provides an "effective photon mass" of (m_gamma)^2 = -(1.01 neV * E/TeV)^2 for E < 1000 TeV. The extragalactic background light is subdominant, but local radiation fields in the galaxy or the source regions provide significant contributions. Photon-photon dispersion is small enough to leave typical scenarios of photon-ALP oscillations unscathed, but big enough to worry about it case by case.

description: It is well established that African Americans (AA) experience greater pain associated with a variety of clinical conditions, and greater pain sensitivity to experimental pain tasks relative to non-Hispanic Whites (W). Notably, African Americans do not show the same relationships involving endogenous pain regulatory mechanisms and pain sensitivity documented in Caucasians, including positive associations between blood pressure, norepinephrine, cortisol and greater pain tolerance.

description: Latinos are the fastest-growing immigrant group in the USA. Yet, little is known about the emotional well-being of this population, such as the links among family, neighbourhood context and Latino immigrant youth mental health. Understanding this link will help determine which contexts negatively impact Latino immigrant youth mental health.

description: One of the main quests in quantum metrology is to attain the ultimate precision limit with given resources, where the resources are not only of the number of queries, but more importantly of the allowed strategies. With the same number of queries, the restrictions on the strategies constrain the achievable precision. In this work, we establish a systematic framework to identify the ultimate precision limit of different families of strategies, including the parallel, the sequential, and the indefinite-causal-order strategies, and provide an efficient algorithm that determines an optimal strategy within the family of strategies under consideration. With our framework, we show there exists a strict hierarchy of the precision limits for different families of strategies.

Eupenifeldin Triggers Cell Death in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

description: High-grade serous ovarian cancer is the most common and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. There is an urgent need to develop novel drugs that could improve patient outcomes. Eupenifeldin was recently produced in large yields by the Oberlies lab, which allowed for extensive biological characterization. In three high-grade serous ovarian cancer cell lines (OVCAR3, OVCAR5, OVCAR8), eupenifeldin was found to have an IC50 of ~10 nM, with a therapeutic index 10X lower in fallopian tube secretory epithelial cell lines (FTSEC), indicating that there may be a specificity for tumor cells. In a clonogenic assay, incubation of 10 nM eupenifeldin for 8 hours was found to significantly hinder the ability of these cells to undergo expansion 5-fold suggesting cytotoxicity. To evaluate if cell death occurred by apoptosis, the annexin-V/propidium iodide assay was performed. It was found that eupenifeldin induced early apoptotic events in OVCAR3 and OVCAR8. These findings were confirmed in a western blot by evaluating cleaved PARP in OVCAR3. Cell-cycle arrest assay determined that treatment with eupenifeldin in OVCAR5 and OVCAR8 cell lines induced cell cycle arrest at 50 nM. A decrease in phosphorylated retinoblastoma confirms this via immunoblot. Eupenifeldin was found to act as a weak autophagy activator in HeLa cells. Natural products with nM activity that induce apoptosis may provide new therapies for ovarian cancer.

description: We combine optical and near-infrared AO-assisted integral field observations of the merging ULIRG IRAS F17207-0014 from the Wide-Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) and Keck/OSIRIS. The optical emission line ratios [N II]/H$α$, [S II]/H$α$, and [O I]/H$α$ reveal a mixing sequence of shocks present throughout the galaxy, with the strongest contributions coming from large radii (up to 100% at $\sim$5 kpc in some directions), suggesting galactic-scale winds. The near-infrared observations, which have approximately 30 times higher spatial resolution, show that two sorts of shocks are present in the vicinity of the merging nuclei: low-level shocks distributed throughout our field-of-view evidenced by an H$_{2}$/Br$γ$ line ratio of $\sim$0.6-4, and strong collimated shocks with a high H$_{2}$/Br$γ$ line ratio of $\sim$4-8, extending south from the two nuclear disks approximately 400 pc ($\sim$0.5 arcsec). Our data suggest that the diffuse shocks are caused by the collision of the interstellar media associated with the two progenitor galaxies and the strong shocks trace the base of a collimated outflow coming from the nucleus of one of the two disks.
