description: We investigate simplified dark matter models where the dark matter candidate is a Dirac fermion charged only under a new gauge symmetry. In this context one can understand dynamically the stability of the dark matter candidate and the annihilation through the new gauge boson is not velocity suppressed. We present the simplest Dirac dark matter model charged under the local B-L gauge symmetry. We discuss in great detail the theoretical predictions for the annihilation into two photons, into the Standard Model Higgs and a photon, and into the Z gauge boson and a photon. Our analytical results can be used for any Dirac dark matter model charged under an Abelian gauge symmetry. The numerical results are shown in the B-L dark matter model. We discuss the correlation between the constraints on the model from collider searches and dark matter experiments.

description: Background: Factors that may contribute to the development of frailty in late life have not been widely investigated. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study cohort presents an opportunity to examine relationships of midlife risk factors with frailty in late life. However, we first present findings on the validation of an established frailty phenotype in this predominantly biracial population of older adults.

Methods: Among 6,080 participants, we defined frailty based upon the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) criteria incorporating measures of weight loss, exhaustion, slow walking speed, low physical activity, and low grip strength. Criterion and predictive validity of the frailty phenotype were estimated from associations between frailty status and participants' physical and mental health status, physiologic markers, and incident clinical outcomes.

Results: A total of 393 (6.5%) participants were classified as frail and 50.4% pre-frail, similar to CHS (6.9% frail, 46.6% pre-frail). In age-adjusted analyses, frailty was concurrently associated with depressive symptoms, low self-rated health, low medication adherence, and clinical biomarker levels (ie, cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and hemoglobin). During 1-year follow-up, frailty was associated with falls, low physical ability, fatigue, and mortality.

Conclusions: These findings support the validity of the CHS frailty phenotype in the ARIC Study cohort. Future studies in ARIC may elucidate early-life exposures that contribute to late-life frailty.

title: Fiscal Stimulus and Skill Accumulation over the Life Cycle
Creators: name: Simon, Laure
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada

description: Using micro data from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey and Current Population Survey,
I document that government spending shocks affect individuals differently over the life cycle.
Young households increase their consumption after an expansionary shock while prime-age
households reduce it, regardless of their level of income or debt. Productivity and wages
increase significantly for young workers. To rationalize these findings, I develop a parsimonious
New Keynesian life-cycle model where young agents accumulate skills on the job through a
learning-by-doing process. An increase in government spending raises hours worked, which
enhances skill accumulation, particularly among young workers who face a steep learning
curve. The ensuing increase in the relative labor demand for young workers boosts their wages,
thus stimulating their consumption.
description: À l’aide de microdonnées issues des enquêtes américaines Consumer Expenditure Survey et
Current Population Survey, je montre que les effets des chocs de dépenses publiques sur les
individus varient au cours du cycle de vie. Quel que soit leur niveau de revenu ou
d’endettement, les jeunes ménages accroissent leur consommation après un choc
expansionniste, tandis que les ménages dans la force de l’âge la réduisent. En outre, la
productivité et les salaires augmentent de manière significative chez les jeunes travailleurs.
Pour expliquer ces résultats, j’élabore un modèle de cycle de vie parcimonieux de type néokeynésien dans lequel les jeunes agents accumulent des compétences en milieu de travail grâce à l’apprentissage par l’expérience. Une hausse des dépenses gouvernementales accroît les
heures travaillées et favorise ainsi l’accumulation de compétences, en particulier chez les jeunes
travailleurs pour lesquels la courbe d’apprentissage est pentue. L’augmentation de la demande
relative de main-d’œuvre qui s’ensuit pour les jeunes travailleurs fait monter leurs salaires et
stimule leur consommation.

description: We study pure noncommutative U(1) gauge theory representing its one-loop effective action in terms of a phase space worldline path integral. We write the quadratic action using the background field method to keep explicit gauge invariance, and then employ the worldline formalism to write the one-loop effective action, singling out UV-divergent parts and finite (planar and non-planar) parts, and study renormalization properties of the theory. This amounts to employ worldline Feynman rules for the phase space path integral, that nicely incorporate the Fadeev-Popov ghost contribution and efficiently separate planar and non-planar contributions. We also show that the effective action calculation is independent of the choice of the worldline Green's function, that corresponds to a particular way of factoring out a particle zero-mode. This allows to employ homogeneous string-inspired Feynman rules that greatly simplify the computation.

A large Sommerfeld coefficient $γ$$_{n}$ ($\sim$77.90 mJ/mol$\cdot$K$^{-2}$), was obtained from the normal state electronic specific heat. However, the Kadowaki-Woods ratio of CsNi$_{2}$Se$_{2}$ was estimated to be about 0.041$\times$10$^{-5}$ $μΩ$$\cdot$cm(mol$\cdot$K/mJ)$^{2}$, indicating the absence of strong electron-electron correlations in this compound.

description: Background: Prior studies suggest being overweight may be protective against poor functional outcomes in older adults.

Methods: Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) was measured over 25 years across five visits (1987-2011) among Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study participants (baseline Visit 1 n = 15,720, aged 45-64 years). Gait speed was measured at Visit 5 ("late-life", aged ≥65 years, n = 6,229). BMI trajectories were examined using clinical cutpoints and continuous mixed models to estimate effects of patterns of BMI change on gait speed, adjusting for demographics and comorbidities.

Results: Mid-life BMI (baseline visit; 55% women; 27% black) was associated with late-life gait speed 25 years later; gait speeds were 94.3, 89.6, and 82.1 cm/s for participants with baseline normal BMI (<25), overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30), and obese (BMI ≥ 30) (p < .001). In longitudinal analyses, late-life gait speeds were 96.9, 88.8, and 81.3 cm/s for participants who maintained normal, overweight, and obese weight status, respectively, across 25 years (p < .01). Increasing BMI over 25 years was associated with poorer late-life gait speeds; a 1%/year BMI increase for a participant with a baseline BMI of 22.5 (final BMI 28.5) was associated with a 4.6-cm/s (95% confidence interval: -7.0, -1.8) slower late-life gait speed than a participant who maintained a baseline BMI of 22.5.

Conclusion: Being overweight in older age was not protective of mobility function. Maintaining a normal BMI in mid- and late-life may help preserve late-life mobility.

description: The exposure to sub lethally high temperature reduces reproductive performance in diverse organisms. Although this effect has been particularly emphasized for males or male reproductive functioning, it remains largely unknown whether the effect of heat on fertility is sex-specific. Here we examined the impact of sub lethally high temperature on male and female functions in a simultaneously hermaphroditic snail species, Lymnaea stagnalis. Examining hermaphrodites is useful to evaluate the sex-specific impacts of heat exposure, since they possess male and female functions within a single individual, sharing genetic and environmental factors. Moreover, previously developed sex allocation theory allows us to compare the differential performance of sex functions. In this study, we exposed snails to 20°C (control), 24°C and 28°C for 14 days and assessed their egg and sperm production, sperm transfer, mating behaviour and growth. Both types of gamete production were significantly reduced by higher temperature, leading to an overall reduction of reproductive investment. By quantifying sex allocation, we furthermore revealed that the heat-stressed snails reduced the relative investment in their male function. This study illustrates that examining simultaneous hermaphrodites can provide significant insights for the impact of heat, and the proximate mechanism, on reproduction in diverse organisms.

description: Stochastic wave equations appear in several models for evolutionary processes subject to random forces, such as the motion of a strand of DNA in a liquid or heat flow around a ring. Semilinear stochastic wave equations can typically not be solved explicitly, but the literature contains a number of results which show that numerical approximation processes converge with suitable rates of convergence to solutions of such equations. In the case of approximation results for strong convergence rates, semilinear stochastic wave equations with both additive or multiplicative noise have been considered in the literature. In contrast, the existing approximation results for weak convergence rates assume that the diffusion coefficient of the considered semilinear stochastic wave equation is constant, that is, it is assumed that the considered wave equation is driven by additive noise, and no approximation results for multiplicative noise are known. The purpose of this work is to close this gap and to establish sharp weak convergence rates for semilinear stochastic wave equations with multiplicative noise. In particular, our weak convergence result establishes as a special case essentially sharp weak convergence rates for the hyperbolic Anderson model. Our method of proof makes use of the Kolmogorov equation, the Hölder-inequality for Schatten norms, and the mild Itô formula.

description: Spatial and temporal variability in benthic flux denitrification efficiency occurs across Port Phillip Bay, Australia. Here, we assess the capacity for untargeted metatranscriptomics to resolve spatiotemporal differences in the microbial contribution to benthic nitrogen cycling. The most abundant sediment transcripts assembled were associated with the archaeal nitrifier Nitrosopumilus. In sediments close to external inputs of organic nitrogen, the dominant transcripts were associated with Nitrosopumilus nitric oxide nitrite reduction (nirK). The environmental conditions close to organic nitrogen inputs that select for increased transcription in Nitrosopumilus (amoCAB, nirK, nirS, nmo, hcp) additionally selected for increased transcription of bacterial nitrite reduction (nxrB) and transcripts associated with anammox (hzo) but not denitrification (bacterial nirS/nirk). In sediments that are more isolated from external inputs of organic nitrogen dominant transcripts were associated with nitrous oxide reduction (nosZ) and changes in nosZ transcript abundance were uncoupled from transcriptional profiles associated with archaeal nitrification. Coordinated transcription of coupled community-level nitrification–denitrification was not well supported by metatranscriptomics. In comparison, the abundance of archaeal nirK transcripts were site- and season-specific. This study indicates that the transcription of archaeal nirK in response to changing environmental conditions may be an important and overlooked feature of coastal sediment nitrogen cycling.

In condensed matter, these are candidate models for exotic strange metals without long-lived quasiparticles. We prove that the electrical conductivity is bounded from below by a universal minimal conductance: the quantum critical conductivity of a clean, charge-neutral plasma. Beyond non-perturbatively justifying mean-field approximations to disorder, our work demonstrates the practicality of new hydrodynamic insight into holographic transport.

description: OBJECTIVES: Prior studies associate hospice use with reduced hospitalization and spending at the end of life based on all Medicare hospice beneficiaries. In this study, we examine the impact of different lengths of hospice care and nursing home residency on hospital use and spending prior to death across 5 disease groups.

METHODS: We compared inpatient hospital days and Medicare spending during the last 6 months of life using hospice versus propensity matched non-hospice beneficiaries who died in 2010, were enrolled in fee for service Medicare throughout the last 2 years of life, and were in at least 1 of 5 disease groups. Comparisons were based on length of hospice use and whether the decedent was in a nursing home during the seventh month prior to death. We regressed a categorical measure of hospice days on outcomes, controlling for observed patient characteristics.

RESULTS: Hospice use over 2 weeks was associated with decreased hospital days (1-5 days overall, with greater decreases for longer hospice use) for all beneficiaries; spending was $900-$5,000 less for hospice use of 31-90 days for most beneficiaries not in nursing homes, except beneficiaries with Alzheimer's. Overall spending decreased with hospice use for beneficiaries in nursing homes with lung cancer only, with a $3,500 reduction.

DISCUSSION: The Medicare hospice benefit is associated with reduced hospital care at the end of life and reduced Medicare expenditures for most enrollees. Policies that encourage timely initiation of hospice and discourage extremely short stays could increase these successes while maintaining program goals.

description: We discuss the environmental instability of amorphous indium oxide (InOx)-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) in terms of the excess oxygen in the semiconductor films. A comparison between amorphous InOx doped with low and high concentrations of oxygen binder (SiO2) showed that out-diffusion of oxygen molecules causes drastic changes in the film conductivity and TFT turn-on voltages. Incorporation of sufficient SiO2 could suppress fluctuations in excess oxygen because of the high oxygen bond-dissociation energy and low Gibbs free energy. Consequently, the TFT operation became rather stable. The results would be useful for the design of reliable oxide TFTs with stable electrical properties.

Psychosocial Mechanisms Underlying Older Black Men’s Health

description: Objectives: To evaluate the psychosocial mechanisms underlying older Black men's self-rated health, we examined: (a) the individual, cumulative, and collective effects of stressors on health; (b) the direct effects of psychosocial resources on health; and (c) the stress-moderating effects of psychosocial resources.

Method: This study is based on a nationally representative sample of Black men aged 51-81 (N = 593) in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models of the psychosocial determinants of self-rated health draw on data from the HRS 2010 and 2012 Core datasets and Psychosocial Modules.

Results: Each of the six measures of stressors as well as a cumulative measure of stressors are predictive of worse self-rated health. However, when considered collectively, only two stressors (chronic strains and traumatic events) have statistically significant effects. Furthermore, two of the five psychosocial resources examined (mastery and optimism) have statistically significant protective effects, and prayer moderates the harmful effects of traumatic events on self-rated health.

Discussion: Conventional measures of stressors and coping resources-originally developed to account for variance in health outcomes among predominantly white samples-may not capture psychosocial factors most salient for older Black men's health. Future research should incorporate psychosocial measures that reflect their unique experiences.

Dissociative ionization of H$_2^+$: Few-cycle effect in the joint electron-ion energy spectrum

description: Joint electron-ion energy spectra for the dissociative ionization of a model H$_2^+$ in few-cycle, infrared laser pulses are calculated via the numerical ab initio solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. A strong, pulse-dependent modulation of the ionization probability for certain values of the protons' kinetic energy (but almost independent of the electron's energy) is observed. With the help of models with frozen ions, this feature---which mistakenly might be attributed to vibrational excitations---is traced back to the transient population of electronically excited states, followed by ionization. This assertion is further corroborated employing a two-level model incorporating strong-field ionization from the excited state.

description: Pharmaceuticals are consumed in high amounts and can enter as emerging organic compounds in surface waters as they are only partially retained in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Receiving pharmaceuticals may burden the aquatic environment, as they are designed to be bioactive even at low concentrations. Sediment biofilm populations were analyzed in river sediments due to the exposure of an inflow of WWTP effluents. Illumina MiSeq 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was performed of 108 sediment samples, which were taken from multiple cores within three sampling locations in the Panke River, with one sampling site located downstream of the inflow. Sequencing data were processed to infer microbial community structure in samples concerning the environmental variables, such as micropollutants and physicochemical parameters measured for each core. More than 25 different micropollutants were measured in pore water samples, in which bezafibrate, clofibric acid, carbamazepine, and diclofenac were detected at high concentrations. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene amplicons revealed Nitrospirae, Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Ignavibacteriae as the most abundant groups in the samples. Differences in microbial community composition were observed with respect to micropollutants. However, our findings revealed that the composition of the microbial community was not only governed by the effluent. The significant changes in the alpha- and beta-diversity were explained by phenobarbital and SO42−, which did not originate from the WWTP indicating that more unobserved factors are also likely to play a role in affecting the biofilm community’s composition.

description: In recent years, the high rates of higher education dropout have raised attention of education research and policy makers in Germany. However, due to data privacy legislation, it remains challenging to obtain information about the individual progress of students through higher education and the destinations of non-completers. With conventional administrative or cross-sectional data, it is not possible to distinguish non-completion from dropout, so that it mostly has to remain unclear if non-completers reach graduation elsewhere. This contribution uses the retrospective life course data of the NEPS starting cohort 6 to empirically disentangle non-completion and dropout of full-time students in higher education. We discuss the methodological challenges of conventional approaches and show how the advantages of retrospective life course data can be exploited for higher education research. We furthermore examine the destinations of non-completers and dropouts as well as the labour market returns of dropouts, using sequence data analyses and logistic regressions. Our results show that conventional designs possibly are prone to overestimate dropout rates. Longitudinal analyses of destinations after dropout reveal that the permeability between vocational training and higher education is not unidirectional. Vocational training is a relevant absorber of higher education dropouts, but at the same time, vocational qualifications that were gained prior to higher education work as safety-net that buffers labour market risks of dropouts.
The Interplay Between Instructional Pace, Skill Externalities, and Student Achievement: An Empirical Assessment

description: This article empirically validates a theoretical model from Kiss (B.E. J Econ Anal Policy 17:1–10, 2017) that addresses the transmission channels through which increases in peer achievement levels may affect other students’ achievement. In his model, a higher share of better students has two effects: first, weaker students benefit from skill externalities generated by their better classmates. At the same time, however, better students further induce teachers to instruct at a more demanding pace. Based on these two effects, I derive three hypotheses and test them on data on German secondary school students. Empirical findings are consistent with the model’s predictions: increases in the share of better classmates (a) are always beneficial for good students, (b) may hurt weak students, and (c) boost weak students’ achievement if the extent of interaction between better and weaker students is high. Taken together, these findings suggest that encouraging better and weaker students to interact more could be Pareto-improving.

description: In this paper, the previously designed and implemented spiderino robot-o, or a robot used to act in a swarm for educational purposes, is investigated regarding his energy-consuming properties. An experimental setup consists of a platform inside which the spiderino robot-o can freely move with a fixed random movement program. Furthermore, the robot-o feet were equipped with footwear made of materials with different friction coefficients, non-equipped or plastics, equipped with cork, equipped with rubber, and the underground was chosen to be stone, wood, plastics, and with regard to floor inclination for all variants flat and for the stone variant also inclined by 10%. The results show a characteristic curve in energy consumption according to a slightly different behaviour concerning the material combinations of footwear and floor, which adapts energy consumption physically due to the specific footwear-underground combination.

description: We report a scalable approach to synthesize a large-area (up to 4 mm) thin black phosphorus (BP) film on a flexible substrate. We first deposited a red phosphorus (RP) thin-film on a flexible polyester substrate, followed by its conversion to BP in a high-pressure multi-anvil cell at room temperature. Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements confirmed the formation of a nano-crystalline BP thin-film with a thickness of around 40 nm. Optical characterization indicates a bandgap of around 0.28 eV in the converted BP, similar to the bandgap measured in exfoliated thin-films. Thin-film BP transistors exhibit a field-effect mobility of around 0.5 cm2/Vs, which can probably be further enhanced by the optimization of the conversion process at elevated temperatures. Our work opens the avenue for the future demonstration of large-scale, high quality thin-film black phosphorus.

description: BACKGROUND: Impaired contractility is a feature of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. We assessed the pharmacokinetics and effects on cardiac function and structure of the cardiac myosin activator, omecamtiv mecarbil.

METHODS: In this randomised, double-blind study, done at 87 sites in 13 countries, we recruited patients with stable, symptomatic chronic heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction 40% or lower. Patients were randomly assigned equally, via an interactive web response system, to receive 25 mg oral omecamtiv mecarbil twice daily (fixed-dose group), 25 mg twice daily titrated to 50 mg twice daily guided by pharmacokinetics (pharmacokinetic-titration group), or placebo for 20 weeks. We assessed the maximum concentration of omecamtiv mecarbil in plasma (primary endpoint) and changes in cardiac function and ventricular diameters. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01786512.

FINDINGS: From March 17, 2014, to March 5, 2015, we enrolled 150 patients in the fixed-dose omecamtiv mecarbil group and 149 in the pharmacokinetic-titration and placebo groups. Mean maximum concentration of omecamtiv mecarbil at 12 weeks was 200 (SD 71) ng/mL in the fixed-dose group and 318 (129) ng/mL in the pharmacokinetic-titration group. For the pharmacokinetic-titration group versus placebo group at 20 weeks, least square mean differences were as follows: systolic ejection time 25 ms (95% CI 18-32, p<0·0001), stroke volume 3·6 mL (0·5-6·7, p=0·0217), left ventricular end-systolic diameter -1·8 mm (-2·9 to -0·6, p=0·0027), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter -1·3 mm, (-2·3 to 0·3, p=0·0128), heart rate -3·0 beats per min (-5·1 to -0·8, p=0·0070), and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide concentration in plasma -970 pg/mL (-1672 to -268, p=0·0069). The frequency of adverse clinical events did not differ between groups.

INTERPRETATION: Omecamtiv mecarbil dosing guided by pharmacokinetics achieved plasma concentrations associated with improved cardiac function and decreased ventricular diameter.
