description: This letter studies the throughput and the outage probability of spectrum sharing networks utilizing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. We focus on the repetition time diversity and the incremental redundancy HARQ protocols where the results are obtained for both continuous and bursting communication models. The channel data transmission efficiency is investigated in the presence of both secondary user peak transmission power and primary user received interference power constraints. Finally, we evaluate the effect of secondary-primary channel state information imperfection on the performance of the secondary channel. Simulation results show that, while the throughput is not necessarily increased by HARQ, substantial outage probability reduction is achieved in all conditions.

description: A variety of modern applications including soft robotics, prosthetics, and health monitoring devices that cover electronic skins (e-skins), wearables as well as implants have been developed within the last two decades to bridge the gap between artificial and biological systems. During this development, high-density integration of various sensing modalities into flexible electronic devices becomes vitally important to improve the perception and interaction of the human bodies and robotic appliances with external environment. As a key component in flexible electronics, the flexible thin-film transistors (TFTs) have seen significant advances, allowing for building flexible active matrices. The flexible active matrices have been integrated with distributed arrays of sensing elements, enabling the detection of signals over a large area. The integration of sensors within pixels of flexible active matrices has brought the application scenarios to a higher level of sophistication with many advanced functionalities. Herein, recent progress in the active matrix flexible sensory systems is reviewed. The materials used to construct the semiconductor channels, the dielectric layers, and the flexible substrates for the active matrices are summarized. The pixel designs and fabrication strategies for the active matrix flexible sensory systems are briefly discussed. The applications of the flexible sensory systems are exemplified by reviewing pressure sensors, temperature sensors, photodetectors, magnetic sensors, and biosignal sensors. At the end, the recent development is summarized and the vision on the further advances of flexible active matrix sensory systems is provided.

description: The growth of large-scale structure, as revealed in the anisotropic of clustering of galaxies in the low redshift Universe, provides a stringent test of our cosmological model. The strongest current constraints come from the BOSS and eBOSS surveys, with uncertainties on the amplitude of clustering of less than 10 per cent. A number of different approaches have been taken to fitting this signal, leading to apparently discrepant conclusions about the amplitude of fluctuations at late times. We compare in some detail two of the leading approaches, one based on a fitting a template cosmology whose amplitude and length scales are allowed to float with one based on a more traditional forward modeling approach, when fitting to the BOSS DR12 data. Holding the input data, scale cuts, window functions and modeling framework fixed we are able to isolate the cause of the differences and discuss the implications for future surveys.

We consider a minimal setup consisting of a bundle of four tunnel coupled nanowires hosting spinless electrons that interact strongly with each other. The hallmark of our setup is that it relies only on simple one-dimensional wires, uniform magnetic fields, and strong interactions, but does not require the presence of superconductivity or exotic quantum Hall phases.

description: Beam asymmetries for the reactions gamma p -> p pi0 and gamma p -> n pi+ have been measured with the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) and a tagged, linearly polarized photon beam with energies from 1.102 to 1.862 GeV. A Fourier moment technique for extracting beam asymmetries from experimental data is described. The results reported here possess greater precision and finer energy resolution than previous measurements. Our data for both pion reactions appear to favor the SAID and Bonn-Gatchina scattering analyses over the older Mainz MAID predictions. After incorporating the present set of beam asymmetries into the world database, exploratory fits made with the SAID analysis indicate that the largest changes from previous fits are for properties of the Delta(1700) 3/2- and Delta(1905) 5/2+ states.

Federal Regulatory Barriers to Grid-Deployed Energy Storage

description: The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC” or “the Commission”) regulates the rates, terms, and conditions of interstate transmission and interstate wholesale energy transactions. While states regulate local distribution facilities and retail sales, substantially all electricity ultimately delivered to consumers in the United States passes through FERC’s jurisdiction. Depending on the circumstance, an energy storage device might behave like any of the traditional grid classifications: generation, transmission, distribution, and even load. These multifaceted operational characteristics, which make energy storage so useful, also confound regulatory rules and categories tailored to the more rigid operational characteristics of legacy technologies. Consequently, storage cannot compete on a level playing field with traditional resources in FERC-jurisdictional markets. This federal regulatory lag impedes the commercialization of technologies that the federal government itself supports with billions of dollars in funding, while obstructing the success of state policies promoting storage and renewable energy resources. Laudably, FERC has proactively addressed some particular barriers to storage, which this Article will discuss, but many significant barriers remain. Part I introduces energy storage, particularly its history, its operational uses, and its benefits. Part II introduces federal electricity regulation, and analyzes various FERC-jurisdictional opportunities and barriers to energy storage. It also highlights recent FERC actions that proactively address or incidentally impact energy storage resources. Finally, Part III proposes actions FERC should take to remedy identified barriers. In particular, it argues that FERC is required under the Federal Power Act (“FPA”) to eliminate unjust, unreasonable, and unduly discriminatory barriers to energy storage in organized wholesale markets and resource adequacy planning processes. It then argues that the Commission should clarify its policies for classifying storage devices, without arbitrarily limiting storage resources from maximally benefiting the grid by performing multiple functions. Finally, it argues that energy storage resources should be considered comparably alongside traditional resources in transmission planning processes.

description: The protective and growth-promoting activities of Colletrotrichum and Diaporthe endophytes on tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) are underexplored. We screened 40 endophytic fungi associated with Mexican shrimp plant (Justicia brandegeana) using an in vitro dual culture assay for Fusarium oxysporum, one of the most important phytopathogens of tomato plants. The three best antagonists, Colletotrichum siamense (JB224.g1), C. siamense (JB252.g1), and Diaporthe masirevicii (JB270), were identified based on multilocus sequence analysis. They were assessed in vitro for their inhibition of F. oxysporum and phosphate solubilisation capacity, and for the production of indole acetic acid. Greenhouse experiments verified the growth-promoting effects of these endophytes and the suppression of F. oxysporum symptoms in tomato plants. Under greenhouse conditions, the JB252.g1 and JB270 isolates showed positive results for seedling emergence speed. The radicular system depth of plants inoculated with JB270 was greater than that in uninoculated plants (27.21 vs 21.95 cm). The soil plant analysis development chlorophyll metre (SPAD) index showed statistically significant results, especially for the endophyte JB224.g1 (36.99) compared to the control plants (30.90) and plants infected solely with F. oxysporum (33.64).
title: Parental Conflict in the Context of Multiethnoracial Relationships
Creators: name: Rowley, Christina A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: The percent of families with parents from different racial or ethnic backgrounds has risen exponentially in the last decades. Approximately 14% of children were born into multiethnoracial (MER) families in the United States in 2015, more than double the rate from 1980 (Bialik, 2017). Studies show that MER couples are more likely to separate or divorce than their monoethnoracial (MoER) counterparts, perhaps due to greater conflict stemming from differing values, coping strategies, and conflict management styles and decreased access to family and community support (Fu, Tora, & Kendall, 2001; Zhang & Van Hook, 2009). With the growing rates of MER couples, there has been increased interest and research addressing the unique benefits and challenges of being in a MER relationship. It is likely that the challenges that arise in MER families peak across the transition to parenthood when couples must negotiate how to merge their respective values, behaviors, and beliefs into a new family unit. The proposed study examines how the ethnoracial composition of couples (i.e., same versus different racial/ethnic backgrounds) predicts levels and increases in coparental conflict across early parenthood; and, in addition, the role of familial support as both a mediator and moderator of this relationship. Identifying the processes linking couples’ ethnoracial composition to the quality of family relationships could help inform parent interventions to better support MER parents across the transition to parenthood.

description: Predictive services nowadays play an important role across all business sectors. However, deployed machine learning models are challenged by changing data streams over time which is described as concept drift. Prediction quality of models can be largely influenced by this phenomenon. Therefore, concept drift is usually handled by retraining of the model. However, current research lacks a recommendation which data should be selected for the retraining of the machine learning model. Therefore, we systematically analyze different data selection strategies in this work. Subsequently, we instantiate our findings on a use case in process mining which is strongly affected by concept drift. We can show that we can improve accuracy from 0.5400 to 0.7010 with concept drift handling. Furthermore, we depict the effects of the different data selection strategies.

description: The magnetic moment of the ρ-meson is calculated in the framework of a low-energy effective field theory of the strong interactions. We find that the complex-valued strong interaction corrections to the gyromagnetic ratio are small leading to a value close to the real leading tree level result, g_ρ= 2. This is in a reasonably good agreement with the available lattice QCD calculations for this quantity.

description: Measuring security controls across multiple layers of defense requires realistic data sets and repeatable experiments. However, data sets that are collected from real users often cannot be freely exchanged due to privacy and regulatory concerns. Synthetic datasets, which can be shared, have in the past had critical flaws or at best been one time collections of data focusing on a single layer or type of data. We present a framework for generating synthetic datasets with normal and attack data for web applications across multiple layers simultaneously. The framework is modular and designed for data to be easily recreated in order to vary parameters and allow for inline testing. We build a prototype data generator using the framework to generate nine datasets with data logged on four layers: network, file accesses, system calls, and database simultaneously. We then test nineteen security controls spanning all four layers to determine their sensitivity to dataset changes, compare performance even across layers, compare synthetic data to real production data, and calculate combined defense in depth performance of sets of controls.

title: Finite Element Analysis of Impact and Cohesion of Cold Sprayed Particles onto Non-Planar Surfaces
Creators: name: Liu, Zhongkui
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

description: Compared to traditional thermal spray, cold spray as a new emerging surface treatment eliminates or substantially reduces phase transformation of deposited material and reduces coating porosity. Therefore, the appearance of this new type of surface treatment and additive manufacturing process has attracted considerable attention from researchers. In this research, three-dimensional modeling of Al6061-T6 particle impact and cohesion process was simulated by utilizing commercial finite element analysis (FEA) software ABAQUS/Explicit. To guarantee that a stable bonding phenomenon can be realized in the scope of physical validity, a built-in cohesive contact behavior model was implemented in the simulation to understand the bonding phenomenon. A non-planar surface was introduced to replace the usual planar impacted surface to mimic micron-scale curvature of the sprayed target in the real condition. Simulation models of spraying particles impact on positions with spray angle corresponding to 90°, 80°, 70° were created to investigate the effect generated by the curvature for the residual stress after bonding. Curvature function was exploited to describe the non-planar surface wavy condition derived from optimized impacting angle for achieving bonding phenomenon. This numerical simulation work can provide further insights for the residual stress evolution status in the condition of realized cohesion between impactor and non-planar surface after a kinetic peening process. Beneficial suggestions toward cold spray technology utilization in additive manufacturing areas are concluded from the results of the numerical simulation.

description: The electronic and thermoelectric properties of one to four monolayers of MoS$_{2}$, MoSe$_{2}$, WS$_{2}$, and WSe$_{2}$ are calculated. For few layer thicknesses,the near degeneracies of the conduction band $K$ and $Σ$ valleys and the valence band $Γ$ and $K$ valleys enhance the n-type and p-type thermoelectric performance. The interlayer hybridization and energy level splitting determine how the number of modes within $k_BT$ of a valley minimum changes with layer thickness. In all cases, the maximum ZT coincides with the greatest near-degeneracy within $k_BT$ of the band edge that results in the sharpest turn-on of the density of modes. The thickness at which this maximum occurs is, in general, not a monolayer. The transition from few layers to bulk is discussed. Effective masses, energy gaps, power-factors, and ZT values are tabulated for all materials and layer thicknesses.

title: An analysis of the mitochondrial fission factor Drp1 along with mitochondrial protection genes in drosophila models of Parkinson disease
Creators: name: Hasan, Azra
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder and is strongly associated with the accumulation of Lewy bodies and loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra of brain. The pathophysiology includes bradykinesia, tremors, motor, autonomic and cognitive disorders. Mitochondrial dysfunction induced cellular stress and cell death is implicated as the cause of PD. Mitochondrial dysfunction causes unregulated mitochondrial dynamics (biogenesis to degradation), impaired metabolic functions, oxidative stress, loss of proteostasis and abnormal cell death. Drp1 is crucial in mitochondrial dynamics and other functions, including apoptosis and mitophagy. To analyze the implication of altering the protein which affects mitochondrial health, I altered the expression of mitochondrial fission gene, Drp1; the transcription regulator, Rbf; mitophagy regulators Pink1 and parkin, Bcl-2 family genes Buffy and Debcl, Insulin receptor signalling genes foxo and trbl and increased disease risk gene α- synuclein; in DA neurons of Drosophila. I found that the altered expression of these key genes can have a beneficial, intermediate, and detrimental effect on the health of DA neurons as determined by lifespan and locomotor functions. Furthermore, I found that the overexpression and inhibition of Drp1, which encodes a mitochondrial fission protein, could suppress various PD like phenotypes in Drosophila.

description: The lowest two Mellin moments of hadronic Generalized Parton Distributions are explored within a model that allows investigation of the inter-related quark and gluon contributions. For light quarks their dynamical connection is strong due to quark dressing. Our principal focus is the angular momentum $J$ of the nucleon. This work employs and extends dynamical insights obtained from our recent model results for quark and gluon momentum fractions $\langle x \rangle_{\rm q/g}$ in both pion and nucleon. The employed model is based on the Rainbow-Ladder truncation of the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. The special case of a 1-loop treatment of a single hadronic quark is used to motivate several insights and obtain initial estimates such as the Wilson line correction to the established Landau gauge model ($ -7\%$ for both $J_{\rm q}$ and $\langle x \rangle_{\rm q}$), and the "binding gluon" contribution to $\langle x \rangle_{\rm g}$ ($\leq 10\%$). We obtain the proton $J$ within 1\% after inclusion of the pion cloud mechanism to produce the sea. The gluon second Mellin moments of the proton reflect similar dynamics; ($\langle x \rangle_{\rm g}$, $J_{\rm g}$) are (26\% , 24\%) at model scale, and (40\%, 38\%) at $2$ GeV. We also find that $J_{\rm tot}$ is shared almost equally between the total orbital and total intrinsic spin contributions.

description: What, is truly "environmental" about environmental law? This Article is the first attempt to answer this question by integrating Law and Literature scholarship with the study of environmental law. I argue that competing narratives of nature and culture common to the American environmental imagination play a more significant role in environmental law and litigation than previously acknowledged. These competing narratives, communicated through a known set of environmental stories and tropes, are used by attorneys to establish, frame, narrate and argue their cases, and they are absorbed, reimagined, reframed and retold by judges in their written opinions, making environmental law a kind of expressive, literary event. To illustrate this process, the Article examines two important and highly visible case studies: the reintroduction of gray wolves into the Northern Rocky Mountains and the public nuisance climate change lawsuit that culminated in the Supreme Court's decision in Connecticut v. American Electric Power. A close reading of the pleadings, legal briefs and judicial opinions in these case studies demonstrates that courts respond to and reinforce traditional environmental stories, such as wilderness tales and the environmental apocalyptic, but evince a strong preference for a less well-known story, which I call the Progressive Management Machine. The Progressive Management Machine promises reconciliation of competing environmental narratives through administrative process and science-driven decision making, but, in so doing, masks its own contravention of those same narratives. The approach developed here launches a larger project exploring the dynamic relationship between environmental law, literature and narrative. This Article, like the larger project, seeks to elucidate not only various litigators' and judges' rhetorical strategies but also the purposes, content and significance of environmental law.

description: We have computed the even-$N$ moments $N\leq 20$ of the pure-singlet quark splitting function $P_{\,\rm ps}$ at the fourth order of perturbative QCD via the anomalous dimensions of off-shell flavour-singlet operator matrix elements. Our results, derived analytically for a general gauge group, agree with all results obtained for this function so far, in particular with the lowest six even moments obtained via physical cross sections. Using these results and all available endpoint constraints, we construct approximations for $P_{\rm ps}$ at four loops that should be sufficient for most collider-physics applications. Together with the known results for the non-singlet splitting function $P_{\rm ns}^{\,+}$ at this order, this effectively completes the quark-quark contribution for the evolution of parton distribution at N$^{\:\!3}$LO accuracy. Our new results thus provide a major step towards fully consistent N$^{\:\!3}$LO calculations at the LHC and the reduction of the residual uncertainty in the parton evolution to the percent level.

description: Within the well-established human rights system, there exist at least three ways to promote environmental ends (each of which is discussed further in Section III below): (1) mobilizing existing rights to achieve environmental ends; (2) reinterpreting existing rights to include environmental concerns; and (3) creating new rights, such as the right to a clean environment.' To justify engaging in any one of these processes, an advocate must recognize both their moral legitimacy and legal utility. As one author has argued, "the justification for rights is to be found in the way in which they enable us to address a key issue, namely, the realization of individual and group autonomy, which we could not do using other concepts and which gives them a unique place in moral and legal argument." Parsing out the above statement reveals several central presuppositions of this paper. First, the pragmatism that underlies any discussion of creating a new right to a clean environment, lawyering for the recognition of such a right under existing regimes, or advocating for the inclusion of protections within existing rights, must be balanced with the more philosophical underpinnings of the rights-based discourse. In this paper, I limit the discussion primarily to what little concrete has been poured to build a foundation for environmental rights, rather than analyzing the more abstract designs of eco-rhetoric. Second, the utility of such advocacy approaches is to be found in contrast to the failure of other methods and regimes -- domestic and international -- to adequately address certain existing problems. Finally, there is an important distinction to be drawn between (1) the justifications for creating a new right to a healthy environment; and (2) the act of litigating under existing conventions for recognition or inclusion of environmental rights.

description: As retail market becomes extensively competitive, the ability to optimize on serving businessprocesses while satisfying customer expectations has never been more important. Therefore, managingand channelizing data to work towards customer delight as well as generate healthy profits is crucial tosurvive prosperously. In the case of big retail players internationally as well as in India, data or ratherbig data analytics is now being applied at every stage of the retail process - tracking emerging popularproducts, forecasting sales and future demand through predictive simulation, optimising productplacements and offers via customer heat-mapping and many more. Alongside this, identifying thecustomers likely to be interested in particular product types based on their previous purchasebehaviours, working out the best way to approach them through targeted marketing efforts and finallyworking out what to sell them next is what forms the core of data analytics. This article is the outcomeof a descriptive research on the past, present and future of retail industry and the application ofbusiness analytics in shaping appropriate marketing strategies.

description: The e-Commerce industry or e-tailing in the country has seen unprecedented growth in the last decade and is likely to be worth USD 38 billion by 2016, a quantum leap over the USD 3.8 billion revenues for 2009, as per industry body Assocham. Increasing internet and mobile penetration, growing acceptability of online payments and favourable demographics has provided e-tailing in India the unique opportunity for companies to connect with their customers. While the growth in this sector excites entrepreneurs and financial investors alike, some serious challenges are beginning to weigh down on the sector. While a few well-funded players, like Flipkart, Snapdeal and Amazon have succeeded in establishing brands and conquering large parts of the market, none of these major players have shown a profit, and few have even shown enough revenues to cover overhead after the cost of goods and deliveries. Problems with supply chain infrastructure, payment gateways and management of payment costs, tax related issues and intense competition have created an environment in which companies are struggling to survive. As a result, investors are holding their money close, creating a funding drought just as the industry hits major growing pains. As one of the fastest growing sectors in India in recent years, the megatrends that will shape the e-tailing sector and the emerging challenges faced by the market leader and followers in e-tailing industry is a significant area for research. The present study is a conceptual survey with a descriptive nature. It attempts to explain the concept of e-tailing, business models for e-commerce, various trends in e-tailing, challenges before the sector in India and the practices followed by the market leader with respect to a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) business context. A framework has also been adopted to compare the market leader‘s performance with its nearest competitor.

description: Main sequence stars, like the Sun, are often found to be orbited by circumstellar material that can be categorized into two groups, planets and debris. The latter is made up of asteroids and comets, as well as the dust and gas derived from them, which makes debris disks observable in thermal emission or scattered light. These disks may persist over Gyrs through steady-state evolution and/or may also experience sporadic stirring and major collisional breakups, rendering them atypically bright for brief periods of time. Most interestingly, they provide direct evidence that the physical processes (whatever they may be) that act to build large oligarchs from micron-sized dust grains in protoplanetary disks have been successful in a given system, at least to the extent of building up a significant planetesimal population comparable to that seen in the Solar System's asteroid and Kuiper belts. Such systems are prime candidates to host even larger planetary bodies as well. The recent growth in interest in debris disks has been driven by observational work that has provided statistics, resolved images, detection of gas in debris disks, and discoveries of new classes of objects. The interpretation of this vast and expanding dataset has necessitated significant advances in debris disk theory, notably in the physics of dust produced in collisional cascades and in the interaction of debris with planets. Application of this theory has led to the realization that such observations provide a powerful diagnostic that can be used not only to refine our understanding of debris disk physics, but also to challenge our understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve.

description: Silkworm (Bombyx mori) pupae is a by-product from the silk industry which is rich in protein. Hydrolysates from silkworm pupae generated using Alcalase®, Prolyve®, Flavourzyme® and Brewers Clarex® proteolytic prepa?rations were characterised. The antioxidant activity of the hydrolysates was investigated using in vitro antioxi?dant assays and an in situ assay for reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduction using hepatic HepG2. Overall, Alcalase and Prolyve hydrolysates had highest scavenging activities, however, Flavourzyme and Brewers Clarex hydrolysates had enhanced ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) activity compared to the other samples. Furthermore, the Flavourzyme hydrolysate significantly reduced ROS by 40% compared to untreated control HepG2 cells. Peptides identified by LC-MS/MS were synthetised and then tested for their in vitro and in situ antioxidant activity. Peptides SWFVTPF and NDVLFF showed highest antioxidant activity (ROS reduction, su?peroxide dismutase (SOD) expression and glutathione (GSH) production activity) in HepG2 cells, and therefore may have potential as natural antioxidants.

description: This Symposium Essay examines and elucidates the ways in which the narrative constructions that constitute the “imaginary Arctic” factor into litigation surrounding Shell Oil’s highly controversial attempts to drill for oil and gas in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas off Alaska’s North Slope. Judges, lawyers and litigants involved in the Shell litigation have deployed a number of well-established storylines against each other: the Arctic as Classical Frontier, the Arctic as Spiritualized Frontier, the Arctic as Ancestral Homeland, the Arctic as Developing World, and the Arctic as Neutral Space. The litigation literature produced by this “battle for the Arctic” offers an opportunity to observe how conflicting narratives about nature figure into the rhetorical strategies of lawyers and judges -- and thus how they factor into the law. In addition, the role of Inupiat narratives in the litigation and underlying administrative proceedings illustrates that -- accepting the bargain struck in the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act as a given -- the layered United States system of administrative permitting and judicial review does not violate indigenous peoples’ rights under relevant provisions of international law.

description: We present results of atomistic simulations of a new model of a magnetic amorphous solid subjected to external mechanical strains and magnetic fields. The model employed offers new perspectives on important effects like Barkhausen noise and magnetostriction. It is shown that the plastic response in such systems exhibit singularities characterized by unexpected exponents requiring careful theoretical reasoning. The spatial structure of the plastic events requires a new coarse grained elasto-magnetic theory which is provided here.

description: U.S. state governments have implemented numerous policies to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. While there is strong biological evidence supporting the wearing of face masks or coverings in public spaces, the impact of public masking policies remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate how early versus delayed implementation of state-level public masking orders impacted subsequent COVID-19 growth rates. We defined “early” implementation as having a state-level mandate in place before September 1, 2020, the approximate start of the school-year. We defined COVID-19 growth rates as the relative increase in confirmed cases 7, 14, 21, 30, 45, 60-days after September 1. Primary analyses used targeted maximum likelihood estimation (TMLE) with Super Learner and considered a wide range of potential confounders to account for differences between states. In secondary analyses, we took an unadjusted approach and calculated the average COVID-19 growth rate among early-implementing states divided by the average COVID-19 growth rate among late-implementing states. At a national level, the expected growth rate after 14-days was 4%lower with early vs. delayed implementation (aRR: 0.96; 95%CI: 0.95-0.98). Associations did not plateau over time, but instead grew linearly. After 60-days, the expected growth rate was 16% lower with early vs. delayed implementation (aRR:0.84; 95%CI: 0.78-0.91). Unadjusted estimates were exaggerated (e.g. 60-day RR:0.72; 95%CI: 0.60-0.84). Sensitivity analyses varying the timing of the masking order yielded similar results. In both the short and long term, state-level public masking mandates were associated with lower COVID-19 growth rates. Given their low-cost and minimal (if any) impact on the economy, masking policies are promising public health strategies to mitigate further spread of COVID-19.
