description: Background: Heat is recognized as one of the deadliest weather-related phenomena. Although the impact of high temperatures on mortality has been a subject of extensive research, few previous studies have assessed the impact of population adaptation to heat.
Methods: We examined adaptation patterns by analyzing daily temperature and mortality data spanning more than a century in New York City. Using a distributed-lag nonlinear model, we analyzed the heat-mortality relation in adults age 15 years or older in New York City during 2 periods: 1900–1948 and 1973–2006, to quantify population adaptation to high temperatures over time.
Results: During the first half of the century, the decade-specific relative risk of mortality at 29°C vs. 22°C ranged from 1.30 (95% confidence interval [CI]= 1.25–1.36) in the 1910s to 1.43 (1.37–1.49) in the 1900s. Since the 1970s, however, there was a gradual and substantial decline in the relative risk, from 1.26 (1.22–1.29) in the 1970s to 1.09 (1.05–1.12) in the 2000s. Age-specific analyses indicated a greater risk for people age 65 years and older in the first part of the century, but there was less evidence for enhanced risk among this older age group in more recent decades.
Conclusion: The excess mortality with high temperatures observed between 1900 and 1948 was substantially reduced between 1973 and 2006, indicating population adaption to heat in recent decades. These findings may have implications for projecting future impacts of climate change on mortality.

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate whether the class of automaton semigroups is closed under certain semigroup constructions. We prove that the free product of two automaton semigroups that contain left identities is again an automaton semigroup. We also show that the class of automaton semigroups is closed under the combined operation of 'free product followed by adjoining an identity'. We present an example of a free product of finite semigroups that we conjecture is not an automaton semigroup. Turning to wreath products, we consider two slight generalizations of the concept of an automaton semigroup, and show that a wreath product of an automaton monoid and a finite monoid arises as a generalized automaton semigroup in both senses. We also suggest a potential counterexample that would show that a wreath product of an automaton monoid and a finite monoid is not a necessarily an automaton monoid in the usual sense.

description: Background: Recent investigations have reported a decline in the heat-related mortality risk during the last decades. However, these studies are frequently based on modeling approaches that do not fully characterize the complex temperature–mortality relationship, and are limited to single cities or countries.

Objectives: We assessed the temporal variation in heat–mortality associations in a multi-country data set using flexible modelling techniques.

Methods: We collected data for 272 locations in Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with a total 20,203,690 deaths occurring in summer months between 1985 and 2012. The analysis was based on two-stage time-series models. The temporal variation in heat–mortality relationships was estimated in each location with time-varying distributed lag nonlinear models, expressed through an interaction between the transformed temperature variables and time. The estimates were pooled by country through multivariate meta-analysis.

Results: Mortality risk due to heat appeared to decrease over time in several countries, with relative risks associated to high temperatures significantly lower in 2006 compared with 1993 in the United States, Japan, and Spain, and a nonsignificant decrease in Canada. Temporal changes are difficult to assess in Australia and South Korea due to low statistical power, and we found little evidence of variation in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the risk seems to be completely abated in 2006 for summer temperatures below their 99th percentile, but some significant excess persists for higher temperatures in all the countries.

Conclusions: We estimated a statistically significant decrease in the relative risk for heat-related mortality in 2006 compared with 1993 in the majority of countries included in the analysis.

description: Linguisten weisen seit Jahren mit zunehmender Dringlichkeit darauf hin, dass die Sprachen der Welt in einem Tempo aussterben, wie es die Welt nie zuvor erlebt hat. Auch in Südasien sind viele Sprachen kurz- oder langfristig vom Aussterben bedroht. Dieses Aussterben stellt einen großen Verlust nicht nur für Linguisten dar sondern für uns alle, denn mit jeder Sprache, die ausstirbt, verschwindet unwiederbringlich auch ein Stück von dem, was uns Menschen ausmacht: Sprache, Kultur, traditionelles Wissen und eine einmalige Weltanschauung. Eine der Regionen Südasiens, in denen die Sprachenvielfalt besonders groß ist, ist Jharkhand im östlichen Zentralindien, ein Gebiet, in dem viele sogenannte „tribal languages“ Seite an Seite mit Sprachen koexistieren, die Millionen von Sprechern haben. Aber auch wenn diese kleinen Sprachen kaum bekannt sind, so sind sie für Sprachwissenschaftler genauso wertvoll wie die großen.

description: In an era marked by political polarisation and a decline in public trust, the reliability of experts—scientists, researchers, and other professionals—stands in stark contrast to the often self-serving incentives of politicians. This article critically reflects on why individuals should trust experts over politicians by examining how experts risk their reputations and adhere to rigorous standards, whereas political figures tend to offer simplistic solutions, weaponize cynicism, and avoid accountability. Drawing on contemporary case studies such as the rise of Donald Trump and the Brexit referendum, the analysis highlights the importance of embracing complex, evidence-based approaches to address societal challenges.

Auf dem diesjährigen, dem fünften indischen Filmfestival Bollywood & Beyond 2008 Mitte Juli in Stuttgart drehten sich eine Reihe von Filmen um das Thema HIV/Aids. Im Mittelpunkt standen die Betroffenen und ihre emotionale Bewältigung der Infektion sowie der oft diskriminierende Umgang der Gesellschaft mit HIV-Infizierten. Die Filme sollten deutlich machen, wie wichtig die Aufklärungsarbeit in Indien ist – und das taten sie auch, zum Teil indem sie genau am aufklärerischen Anspruch scheiterten.

description: Background: This study quantifies the spatiotemporal risk of pedestrian and bicyclist injury in New York City at the census tract level over a recent 10-year period, identifies areas of increased risk, and evaluates the role of socioeconomic and traffic-related variables in injury risk.
Methods: Crash data on 140,835 pedestrian and bicyclist injuries in 1908 census tracts from 2001 to 2010 were obtained from the New York City Department of Transportation. We analyzed injury counts within census tracts with Bayesian hierarchical spatial models using integrated nested Laplace approximations. The model included variables for social fragmentation, median household income, and average vehicle speed and traffic density, as well as a spatially unstructured random effect term, a spatially structured conditional autoregression term, a first-order random walk-correlated time variable, and an interaction term for time and place. Incidence density ratios, credible intervals, and probability exceedances were calculated and mapped.
Results: The yearly rate of crashes involving injuries to “pedestrians” (including bicyclists) decreased 16.2% over the study period, from 23.7 per 10,000 population to 16.2 per 10,000. The temporal term in the spatiotemporal model indicated that much of the decrease over the study period occurred during the first 4 years of the study period. Despite an overall decrease, the model identified census tracts that were at persistently high risk of pedestrian injury throughout the study period, as well as areas that experienced sporadic annual increases in risk. Aggregate social, economic, and traffic-related measures were associated with pedestrian injury risk at the ecologic level. Every 1-unit increase in a standardized social fragmentation index was associated with a 19% increase in pedestrian injury risk (incidence density ratio = 1.19 [95% credible interval = 1.16 – 1.23]), and every 1 standardized unit increase in traffic density was associated with a 20% increase in pedestrian injury risk (1.20 [1.15 – 1.26]). Each 10-mile-per-hour increase in average traffic speed in a census tract was associated with a 24% decrease in pedestrian injury risk (0.76 [0.69 – 0.83]).
Conclusions: The risk of a pedestrian or bicyclist being struck by a motor vehicle in New York City decreased from 2001 to 2004 and held fairly steady thereafter. Some census tracts in the city did not benefit from overall reductions or experienced sporadic years of increased risk compared with the city as a whole. Injury risk at the census tract level was associated with social, economic, and traffic-related factors.

description: The latest data from the ACME Collaboration have put a stringent constraint on the electric dipole moment d_e of the electron. Nevertheless, the standard model (SM) prediction for d_e is many orders of magnitude below the new result, making this observable a powerful probe for physics beyond the SM. We carry out a model-independent study of d_e in the SM with right handed neutrinos and its extension with the neutrino seesaw mechanism under the framework of minimal flavor violation. We find that d_e crucially depends on whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles. In the Majorana case, d_e can reach its experimental bound, and it constrains the scale of minimal flavor violation to be above a few hundred GeV or more. We also explore extra CP-violating sources in the Yukawa couplings of the right-handed neutrinos. Such new sources can have important effects on d_e.

description: Recent experience from Hurricane Sandy and high temperature episodes has clearly demonstrated that the health of New Yorkers can be compromised by extreme coastal storms and heat events. Health impacts that can result from exposure to extreme weather events include direct loss of life, increases in respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and compromised mental health. Other related health stressors—such as air pollution, pollen, and vector-borne, water-borne, and food-borne diseases— can also be influenced by weather and climate. Although New York City is one of the best prepared and most climate-resilient cities in the world, there remain significant potential vulnerabilities related to climate variability and change. As part of the NPCC2 process, a team of local climate and health specialists was mobilized to assess current vulnerabilities and to identify strategies that could enhance the resilience of New York City to adverse health impacts from climate events. The goal was to highlight some of the important climate-related health challenges that New York City is currently facing or may face in the future due to climate variability and change, based on emerging scientific understanding.

description: The morphological phase transition between a sessile and lenticular shapes of a droplet placed in a nanochannel is observed upon increasing the droplet volume. The phase diagram for this system is discussed within the macro- and mesoscopic approaches. On the mesoscopic level, the van der Waals forces are taken into account via the effective interface potential acting between the channel walls and the droplet. We discuss the contact angle dependence on the droplet volume and the distance between the walls; this angle turns out to be smaller than the macroscopic Young's angle. The droplet presence induces the solvation force acting between the channel walls. It can be both attractive and repulsive, depending on the width of the channel.

description: Purpose

Safe Routes to School (SRTS) was a federally funded transportation program for facilitating physically active commuting to and from school in children through improvements of the built environment. There is evidence that SRTS programs increase walking and bicycling in school-age children, but their impact on pedestrian and bicyclist safety has not been adequately examined. We investigate the impact and effects of the SRTS program on school-age pedestrian and bicyclist injuries in a nationwide sample in the United States.

Methods

Data were crash records for school-age children (5–19 years) and adults (30–64 years), in 18 U.S. states for a 16-year period (1995–2010). Multilevel negative binomial models were used to examine the association between SRTS intervention and the risk of pedestrian and bicyclist injury in children aged 5–19 years.

Results

SRTS was associated with an approximately 23% reduction (incidence rate ratio = 0.77, 95% confidence interval = 0.65–0.92) in pedestrian/bicyclist injury risk and a 20% reduction in pedestrian/bicyclist fatality risk (incidence rate ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval = 0.68–0.94) in school-age children compared to adults aged 30–64 years.

Conclusions

Implementation of the SRTS program appears to have contributed to improving traffic safety for school-age children in the United States.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: These lecture notes present the capabilities of relativistic nuclear physics for the development of the physics of nuclear clusters. Nuclear track emulsion continues to be an effective technique for pilot studies that allows one, in particular, to study the cluster dissociation of a wide variety of light relativistic nuclei within a common approach. Despite the fact that the capabilities of the relativistic fragmentation for the study of nuclear clustering were recognized quite a long time ago, electronic experiments have not been able to come closer to an integrated analysis of ensembles of relativistic fragments. The continued pause in the investigation of the "fine" structure of relativistic fragmentation has led to resumption of regular exposures of nuclear emulsions in beams of light nuclei produced for the first time at the Nuclotron of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna). To date, an analysis of the peripheral interactions of relativistic isotopes of beryllium, boron, carbon and nitrogen, including radioactive ones, with nuclei of the emulsion composition, has been performed, which allows the clustering pattern to be presented for a whole family of light nuclei.

description: Changes to the nucleolus, the site of ribosome production, have long been linked to cancer, and mutations in several ribosomal proteins (RPs) have been associated with an increased risk for cancer in human diseases. Relevantly, a number of RPs have been shown to bind to MDM2 and inhibit MDM2 E3 ligase activity, leading to p53 stabilization and cell cycle arrest, thus revealing a RP-Mdm2-p53 signaling pathway that is critical for ribosome biogenesis surveillance. Here, we have identified RPL37, RPS15, and RPS20 as RPs that can also bind Mdm2 and activate p53. We found that each of the aforementioned RPs, when ectopically expressed, can stabilize both co-expressed Flag-tagged Mdm2 and HA-tagged p53 in p53-null cells as well as endogenous p53 in a p53-containing cell line. For each RP, the mechanism of Mdm2 and p53 stabilization appears to be through inhibiting the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of Mdm2. Interestingly, although they are each capable of inducing cell death and cell cycle arrest, these RPs differ in the p53 target genes that are regulated upon their respective introduction into cells. Furthermore, each RP can downregulate MdmX levels but in distinct ways. Thus, RPL37, RPS15 and RPS20 regulate the Mdm2-p53-MdmX network but employ different mechanisms to do so.
title: The economic implications of advanced manufacturing technologies of the industry 4.0 wave

Year: 2023

description: The present dissertation collects methodological and empirical works developed with the aim of moving forward the debate on the diffusion and the economic implications of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) of the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) wave. In line with current open research avenues in the literature, in the four Chapters we answer the following research questions: (i) How can we measure with precision both the adoption and the production – i.e. the overall diffusion – of AMTs across countries and over time? (ii) What is the relationship between the adoption of AMTs, total factor productivity (TFP) growth, and technological catch-up across manufacturing industries? (iii) Does the adoption of AMTs push or discourage manufacturing firms to restructure business activities through collective layoffs? (iv) What is the relationship between the growing diffusion of additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) innovations and employment across manufacturing industries? We address these questions with methodological and empirical rigour, providing novel insights on still underexplored research areas. On the one hand, our findings open up for further research across several streams of both the economics and management literature. On the other hand, they allow us to outline clear implications and potential suggestions for both institutional policymakers and managers, analysing the effectiveness of current policies targeting the I4.0 revolution and support managers in harnessing the benefits spurring from the adoption of AMTs.

description: Fungi regulate key nutrient cycling processes in many forest ecosystems, but their diversity and distribution within and across ecosystems are poorly understood. Here, we examine the spatial distribution of fungi across a boreal and tropical ecosystem, focusing on ectomycorrhizal fungi. We analyzed fungal community composition across litter (organic horizons) and underlying soil horizons (0–20 cm) using 454 pyrosequencing and clone library sequencing. In both forests, we found significant clustering of fungal communities by site and soil horizons with analogous patterns detected by both sequencing technologies. Free-living saprotrophic fungi dominated the recently-shed leaf litter and ectomycorrhizal fungi dominated the underlying soil horizons. This vertical pattern of fungal segregation has also been found in temperate and European boreal forests, suggesting that these results apply broadly to ectomycorrhizal-dominated systems, including tropical rain forests. Since ectomycorrhizal and free-living saprotrophic fungi have different influences on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics, information on the spatial distribution of these functional groups will improve our understanding of forest nutrient cycling.
Terrestrial Exoplanet Internal Structure Constraints Are Not Limited by Host Star Spectroscopic Analysis

description: Exoplanet mass and radius inferences, and therefore internal structure constraints, are based on host star mass and radius inferences. Accurate, precise, homogeneous, and self-consistent exoplanet internal structure constraints therefore demand accurate, precise, homogeneous, and self-consistent host star mass, radius, and elemental abundance inferences. Published terrestrial exoplanet internal structure constraints have often been based on host star mass, radius, and elemental abundance inferences that are not self-consistent. For 20 solar-type stars known to host terrestrial exoplanets, we use all available astrometric and photometric data plus high-resolution optical spectroscopy to infer accurate, precise, homogeneous, and self-consistent photospheric and fundamental stellar parameters as well as elemental abundances. We infer updated planetary masses and radii using these data plus Doppler and transit observables and then use our complete data set to derive the strongest possible constraints on the internal structures of these terrestrial planets. We repeat these same analyses using the high-quality catalogs of photospheric stellar parameters and elemental abundances from SDSS DR17 APOGEE and Brewer et al. (2016, 2018) to assess the impact of differing photospheric stellar parameters and elemental abundance inference approaches on terrestrial exoplanet internal structure modeling.

description: The present work describes the investigation of the navigation anomaly of Pioneer 10 and 11 probes which became known as the Pioneer Anomaly. It appeared as a linear drift in the Doppler data received by the spacecraft, which has been ascribed to an approximately constant sunward acceleration of about $8.5 \times 10^{-13} km/s^2$. Since then, the existence of the anomaly has been confirmed independently by several groups and a large effort was devoted to find its origin. The present study consists of two main parts: thermal modeling of the spacecraft throughout its trajectory, and orbit determination analysis. Based on existing documentation and published telemetry data we built a thermal finite element model of the spacecraft, whose complexity has been constrained to a degree allowing for sensitivity analysis, leading to the computation of its formal uncertainty. The trajectory analysis and orbit determination was carried out using NASA/JPL's ODP (Orbit Determination Program) and our results show that orbital solutions may be achieved that do not require the addition of any "unknown" acceleration other than the one of thermal origin.

description: Mit der Region Nuristan, die in den südlichen Hängen des Hindukusch im Nordosten Afghanistans liegt. verbinden sich viele Aspekte einer einzigartigen alten Kulturlandschaft. Bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war sie unter dem Namen „Kafiristan“ (Land der Kafiren), bekannt oder gar berüchtigt, Heimat der letzten Träger einer vorislamischen polytheistischen und animistischen Kultur, die einst - in vielen Varianten - weite Teile des Hindukusch und Karakorum beherrscht haben dürfte. Im Winter 1895 /95 von der afghanischen Armee erobert und zwangsislamisiert, wurde Kafiristan in „Nuristan“ (Land des Lichts), umbenannt. Geblieben sind natürlich die oft sehr pittoresken Siedlungen und die immer wieder „alpin“ anmutende Schönheit der Landschaft mit ihren Steineichen- und Nadelwäldern und den Hochalmen, wo Herden von Ziegen, Schafen und Kühen eine reiche, nur von Männern betriebene Milchwirtschaft ermöglichen.

description: Abstract

Greenhouse farming offers a sustainable crop production amidst climate variability. This study, conducted at DA-NMACLRC, Dalwangan, Malaybalay City, used a factorial in Completely Randomized Design to evaluate vegetative propagation and the effects of different growing media on growth, yield, and cost-efficiency on different varieties of cherry tomatoes. Results showed that Machyo Red had superior nursery performance, while M3 (50% garden soil, 30% compost, 20% sawdust) and M4 (30% garden soil, 30% compost, 40% rice hull) improved plant height and stem thickness. In the greenhouse, KT Red attained the highest yield, and M3 was identified as the most cost-effective growing medium.

description: Family Agoutidae Gray, 1821. London Med. Repos., 15:304. SYNONYMS: Cuniculidae. COMMENTS: The familial or subfamilial status of this taxon is debated; Husson (1978:472) and Cabrera (1961:593) placed in Agoutidae; Hall (1981:858) placed in Agoutinae of the Dasyproctidae; Starrett (1967:269) placed in Cuniculinae of the Dasyproctidae; and Ellerman (1940:221) in the Cuniculidae. As Cuniculus is unavailable (see comments under Agouti), Agoutidae is the proper familial name.

description: This work presents a general formalism to analyze a generic bulk scalar field in a multiple warped extra-dimensional model with arbitrary number of extra dimensions. The Kaluza-Klein mass modes along with the self-interaction couplings are determined and the possibility of having lowest lying KK mode masses near TeV scale are discussed. Also some numerical values for low-lying KK modes has been presented showing explicit localization around TeV scale. It is argued that the appearance of large number of closely spaced KK modes with enhanced coupling may prompt possible new signatures in collider physics.

description: We develop a framework which aims to simplify the analysis of quantum states and quantum operations by harnessing the potential of function programming paradigm. We show that the introduced framework allows a seamless manipulation of quantum channels, in particular to convert between different representations of quantum channels, and thus that the use of functional programming concepts facilitates the manipulation of abstract objects used in the language of quantum theory. For the purpose of our presentation we will use Mathematica computer algebra system. This choice is motivated twofold. First, it offers a rich programming language based on the functional paradigm. Second, this programming language is combined with powerful symbolic and numeric manipulation capabilities.

No one-loop gauge anomalies for a Lorentz-violating quantum electrodynamics: Evaluation of the three-photon vertex

description: Identification of the diagrams that can lead to gauge anomalies in the (minimal) Lorentz- and $CPT$-violating extension of quantum electrodynamics reveals these are the electron self-energy and vertex correction (related to the Ward-Takahashi identity), the photon self-energy (related to the vacuum polarization tensor transversality), and the three-photon vertex diagrams. All but the latter were explicitly verified to be free of anomalies to first order in loop expansion. Here we provide this remaining evaluation and verify the absence of anomalies in this process.
Lower bound of black hole hair in pure Lovelock theory of gravity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: As an alternative to the "no hair conjecture," the "no short hair conjecture" for hairy black holes was established earlier. This theorem stipulates that hair must be present above 3/2 of the event horizon radius for a hairy black hole. It is assumed that the nonlinear behavior of the matter field plays a key role in the presence of such hair. Subsequently, it was established that the hair must extend beyond the photon sphere of the corresponding black hole. We have investigated the validity of the "no short hair conjecture" in pure Lovelock gravity. Our analysis has shown that irrespective of dimensionality and Lovelock order, the hair of a static, spherically symmetric black hole extends at least up to the photon sphere.
