Predictive implications of Gompertz's law

Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: Gompertz's law tells us that for humans above the age of 35 the death rate increases exponentially with a doubling time of about 10 years. Here, we show that the same law continues to hold even for ages over 100. Beyond 106 there is so far no statistical evidence available because the number of survivors is too small even in the largest nations. However assuming that Gompertz's law continues to hold beyond 106, we conclude that the mortality rate becomes equal to 1 at age 120 (meaning that there are 1,000 deaths in a population of one thousand). In other words, the upper bound of human life is near 120. The existence of this fixed-point has interesting implications. It allows us to predict the form of the relationship between death rates at age 35 and the doubling time of Gompertz's law. In order to test this prediction, we first carry out a transversal analysis for a sample of countries comprising both industrialized and developing nations. As further confirmation, we also develop a longitudinal analysis using historical data over a time period of almost two centuries. Another prediction arising from this fixed-point model, is that, above a given population threshold, the lifespan of the oldest person is independent of the size of her national community. This prediction is supported by available empirical evidence.

Motivations behind financial philanthropy from former athletes to the University of North Carolina
Creators: name: Jones, Ryan Heath
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the financial contributions of former student-athletes at the University of North Carolina, and the factors that affect or may affect contributions. Development information on giving history to academics and athletics since 2000 of all 7,537 living former athletes was gathered. Additionally, 1,236 former student-athletes participated in an e-mailed survey for a response rate of 27.6%. Empirical analysis indicated that academics received a substantially higher amount of funds than athletics, despite perceptions of the opposite. A chi-square test of association showed that former athletes that donate to athletics are more likely to donate a higher amount to athletics, and have a stronger likelihood to contribute more to athletics by joining an association specifically for student-athletes if certain benefits were available. Participants were more satisfied with their academic experience as a whole, and their giving was most affected by satisfaction with experience as a student-athlete at the University of North Carolina.

description: Πρόωση είναι το σύστημα με τα οποίο δημιουργείται ώθηση για να κινηθεί ένα πλοίο. Η ανάπτυξη της τεχνολογίας εισήγαγε νέους μηχανισμούς πρόωσης, επηρεάζοντας και πλάθοντας την κοινωνία όπως την ξέρουμε σήμερα.
Τα κουπιά και τα πανιά ήταν από τα πρώτα εργαλεία που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για πρόωση. Η ναυτική ατμομηχανή έκανε την εμφάνισή της στις αρχές του 19ου αιώνα. Κατά τη διάρκεια του 20ου αιώνα, αντικαταστάθηκε από ατμοστροβίλους οι οποίοι έδωσαν τη θέση τους σε δίχρονους ή τετράχρονους κινητήρες ντίζελ. Οι θαλάσσιοι πυρηνικοί αντιδραστήρες, εμφανίστηκαν τη δεκαετία του 1950. Με τον ατμό που παράγουν, προωθούν τα πολεμικά πλοία και τα παγοθραυστικά. Τα τελευταία χρόνια υπάρχει μία αυξημένη τάση κατασκευής πλοίων με ηλεκτροπρόωση. Σε αυτά, γεννήτριες κινούμενες από μηχανές εσωτερικής καύσης παράγουν ηλεκτρική ενέργεια για τη πρόωση και τις γενικές ανάγκες του πλοίου.
Τέλος, λόγω των ολοένα αυξανόμενων περιβαλλοντολογικών απαιτήσεων υπάρχουν και εφαρμογές στις οποίες ηλεκτρική ενέργεια μπορεί να παράγεται μέσω της οξείδωσης υγροποιημένου φυσικού αερίου (LNG) ή υδρογόνου σε κυψέλες καυσίμου ή συνδυασμό άλλων μεθόδων. Πειραματικές τεχνολογίες που προσπαθούν να βελτιώσουν το ενεργειακό αποτύπωμα πλοίων, καταναλώνουν ενέργεια με ηλιακά πάνελ. Η ανάπτυξη υβριδικών πλοίων κερδίζει διαρκώς έδαφος, με τo πλεονεκτήματα χαμηλών εκπομπών.

description: Propulsion is the system which creates the lift of a ship. Technological advancement has introduced new propulsion mechanisms, influencing and shaping our society as we know it today.
Oars and sails were the first tools used for propulsion. The marine steam engine made its appearance at the start of the 19th century. During the 20th century, it was replaced by steam-turbines which gave their place to two and four-stroke engines. Naval nuclear reactors made their appearance during the 1950s. The generated steam is used to produce power for the propulsion of warships and icebreakers. Lately, more and more ships are built with electrical propulsion. Generators, powered by internal combustion engines, produce electrical power used for propulsion and other general uses.
Lastly, because of the increasing environmental requirements, there exists new applications where electrical power is generated from liquefied natural gas (LNG) or hydrogen fuel cells, or a combination of other methods. Experimental technologies that try to help reduce the energy footprint, produce power with solar panels. The advancements of hybrid ships gains ground, having the advantages of low emission.

First-passage-time statistics of a Brownian particle driven by an arbitrary unidimensional potential with a superimposed exponential time-dependent drift
Creators: name: Urdapilleta, Eugenio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In one-dimensional systems, the dynamics of a Brownian particle are governed by the force derived from a potential as well as by diffusion properties. In this work, we obtain the first-passage-time statistics of a Brownian particle driven by an arbitrary potential with an exponential temporally decaying superimposed field up to a prescribed threshold. The general system analyzed here describes the sub-threshold signal integration of integrate-and-fire neuron models, of any kind, supplemented by an adaptation-like current, whereas the first-passage-time corresponds to the declaration of a spike. Following our previous studies, we base our analysis on the backward Fokker Planck equation and study the survival probability and the first-passage-time density function in the space of the initial condition. By proposing a series solution we obtain a system of recurrence equations, which given the specific structure of the exponential time-dependent drift, easily admit a simpler Laplace representation. Naturally, the present general derivation agrees with the explicit solution we found previously for the Wiener process in (2012 JPhysA 45 185001). However, to demonstrate the generality of the approach, we further explicitly evaluate the first-passage-time statistics of the underlying Ornstein Uhlenbeck process. To test the validity of the series solution, we extensively compare theoretical expressions with the data obtained from numerical simulations in different regimes. As shown, agreement is precise whenever the series is truncated at an appropriate order. Beyond the fact that both the Wiener and Ornstein Uhlenbeck processes have a direct interpretation in the context of neuronal models, given their ubiquity in different fields, our present results will be of interest in other settings where an additive state-independent temporal relaxation process is being developed as the particle diffuses.

description: This paper investigates the power of polynomial-time quantum computation in which only a very limited number of qubits are initially clean in the |0> state, and all the remaining qubits are initially in the totally mixed state. No initializations of qubits are allowed during the computation, nor intermediate measurements. The main results of this paper are unexpectedly strong error-reducible properties of such quantum computations. It is proved that any problem solvable by a polynomial-time quantum computation with one-sided bounded error that uses logarithmically many clean qubits can also be solvable with exponentially small one-sided error using just two clean qubits, and with polynomially small one-sided error using just one clean qubit. It is further proved in the case of two-sided bounded error that any problem solvable by such a computation with a constant gap between completeness and soundness using logarithmically many clean qubits can also be solvable with exponentially small two-sided error using just two clean qubits. If only one clean qubit is available, the problem is again still solvable with exponentially small error in one of the completeness and soundness and polynomially small error in the other. As an immediate consequence of the above result for the two-sided-error case, it follows that the TRACE ESTIMATION problem defined with fixed constant threshold parameters is complete for the classes of problems solvable by polynomial-time quantum computations with completeness 2/3 and soundness 1/3 using logarithmically many clean qubits and just one clean qubit. The techniques used for proving the error-reduction results may be of independent interest in themselves, and one of the technical tools can also be used to show the hardness of weak classical simulations of one-clean-qubit computations (i.e., DQC1 computations).

There were also children who were not orphans, but were sent by their families. When the families arrived in Palestine, structures called caring communities were perceived as the ideal institutions in which to raise children. The caring communities took the place of the family, in many cases.

description: Robust heteroclinic cycles in equivariant dynamical systems in R^4 have been a subject of intense scientific investigation because, unlike heteroclinic cycles in R^3, they can have an intricate geometric structure and complex asymptotic stability properties that are not yet completely understood. In a recent work, we have compiled an exhaustive list of finite subgroups of O(4) admitting the so-called simple heteroclinic cycles, and have identified a new class which we have called pseudo-simple heteroclinic cycles. By contrast with simple heteroclinic cycles, a pseudo-simple one has at least one equilibrium with an unstable manifold which has dimension 2 due to a symmetry. Here, we analyse the dynamics of nearby trajectories and asymptotic stability of pseudo-simple heteroclinic cycles in R^4.

Long-term evaluation of periapical healing following endodontic treatment of teeth with apical periodontitis
Creators: name: Conner, Deborah A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate long-term healing of teeth with apical periodontitis treated by dental students according to the protocol of UNC School of Dentistry, Department of Endodontics. A total of 49 patients returned for follow up (N= 55 teeth). Healing was assessed radiographically using two methods: the Periapical Index (PAI) and a Clinical Impression of Healing (CIH). Overall, favorable healing was found in 69% (PAI) and 90.3% (CIH) of teeth. Of the independent variables assessed, only patient history of tobacco use significantly affected healing in the presence of a preoperative periapical lesion (Chi Square=4.27; p=0.038) although clear differences in healing emerged based on patient diabetic status. Conclusion: Teeth with chronic apical periodontitis treated close to the radiographic apex, with adequate apical enlargement, and with calcium hydroxide as an interappointment, intra-canal medicament had a success rate comparable to outcomes reported in the endodontic literature.

description: Electron mobility, energy spectra and intrinsic carrier concentrations in the n-type Hg0.32Cd0.68Te / Hg1-xCdxTe / Hg0.32Cd0.68Te quantum well (QW) in semi-metallic state are numerically modeled. Energy spectra and wave functions were calculated in the framework of the 8-band k-p Hamiltonian. In our model, electron scattering on longitudinal optical phonons, charged impurities, and holes has been taken into account, and the mobility has been calculated by an iterative solution of the Boltzmann transport equation. Our results show that the increase of the electron concentration in the well enhances the screening of the 2D electron gas, decreases the hole concentration, and can ultimately lead to a high electron mobility at liquid nitrogen temperatures. The increase of the electron concentration in the QW could be achieved in situ by delta-doping of barriers or by applying the top-gate potential. Our modeling has shown that for low molar composition x the concentration of holes in the well is high in a wide range of electron concentrations; in this case, the purity of samples does not significantly influence the electron mobility. These results are important in the context of establishing optimal parameters for the fabrication of high-mobility Hg1-xCdxTe quantum wells able to operate at liquid nitrogen temperature and thus suitable for applications in terahertz detectors.

title: The 24/7 approach to improving outcomes for children affected by chronic trauma and dissociation
Creators: name: Cross, Richard
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2006

description: Perceptions of childhood have changed over time. In the nineteenth century, for example, children were seen as miniature adults (Aries, 1962). Now they are seen as distinct individuals with an inner world which is very different from the adults who care for them. The same could be said of our understanding of childhood trauma. Over time, various clinicians have theorised about psychological and emotional distress observed in children, but it is only in relatively recent times that they began to attribute some of the causes to early childhood experiences of neglect and trauma. Chronic trauma relates to recurrent exposure to major stressors over time, such as child abuse. Evidence now supports that chronic trauma increases the risk of dissociative disorders (Hart, Nijenius and Steele, 2006). Researchers are now beginning to postulate that dissociation is the key concept to understanding trauma.

description: A symmetry violation model is considered for a system that can spontaneously choose between identical states which differ from each other only in weak properties (R-L). Such mirror symmetry allows reproduction of observed qualitative properties of quark and lepton mixing matrices. The lepton mixing matrix evidences in this case in favor of the inverse mass spectrum and the Dirac nature of SM neutrino. Notwithstanding the Dirac properties of neutrino, an exchange of lepton numbers such as $e^{-}+μ^{+}\rightarrow e^{+}+μ^{-}$ is possible but with only leptons participating in the process.

description: The detection of five new fast radio bursts (FRBs) found in the High Time Resolution Universe high latitude survey is presented. The rate implied is 6$^{+4}_{-3}\times~10^3$ (95%) FRBs sky$^{-1}$ day$^{-1}$ above a fluence of between 0.13 and 5.9 Jy ms for FRBs between 0.128 and 262 ms in duration. One of these FRBs has a clear two-component profile, each component is similar to the known population of single component FRBs and are separated by 2.4(4) ms. All the FRB components appear to be unresolved following deconvolution with a scattering tail and accounting for intra-channel smearing. The two-component FRB also has the highest dispersion measure (1629 pc cm$^{-3}$) of any FRB to-date. Many of the proposed models to explain FRBs use a single high energy event involving compact objects (such as neutron star mergers) and therefore cannot easily explain a two-component FRB. Models that are based on extreme versions of flaring, pulsing or orbital events however could produce multiple component profiles. The compatibility of these models and the FRB rate implied by these detections is discussed.

Constitutional Reform and Congressional Closure in Contemporary Latin America
Creators: name: Stoyan, Alissandra T.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Over the past decade in Latin America, there have been several cases of attempted and successful closures of congress through the mechanisms of direct democracy and constitutional reform. This is qualitatively different than previous closures through military coups or autogolpes. When are presidents more likely to attempt to close congress by this means and what factors determine whether it will be successful? I argue that several factors make a president more likely to attempt this strategy: a radical agenda and a minority in congress (incentives), perceived chance of success in relation to alternative strategies, and diffusion effects. In turn, success is determined by the presence of two factors. One is mobilizational leverage, which I measure by examining the presence of an electoral mandate, high presidential approval, and the ability to rally large sectors of the electorate around the president's agenda. The second is institutional leverage, which I measure by examining party system weakness, and the neutralization of non-legislative institutions, such as the military, Supreme Court, and electoral council. I test this theory in four case studies: Venezuela, Ecuador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Visible actions on spherical nilpotent orbits in complex simple Lie algebras

description: This paper studies nilpotent orbits in complex simple Lie algebras from the viewpoint of strongly visible actions in the sense of T. Kobayashi. We prove that the action of a maximal compact group consisting of inner automorphisms on a nilpotent orbit is strongly visible if and only if it is spherical, namely, admitting an open orbit of a Borel subgroup. Further, we find a concrete description of a slice in the strongly visible action. As a corollary, we clarify a relationship among different notions of complex nilpotent orbits: actions of Borel subgroups (sphericity); multiplicity-free representations in regular functions; momentum maps; and actions of compact subgroups (strongly visible actions).

Analysis the role of Cdk1/Cyclin B and Bax in Mitotic Checkpoint-Induced Apoptosis
Creators: name: Alshehri, Eman
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: There has been extensive clinical usage of antimitotic drugs (spindle poisons), such as Taxol, which is a potent antineoplastic agent, but the manner in which they promote cell death is still unclear. Some antimitotic drugs target the microtubules directly while some agents such as Monastrol target microtubules-associated motor proteins. HeLa cells treated with antimitotic agents activate the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC also known as mitotic checkpoint) that results in prolonged mitotic arrest and activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. The signal that links activation of the SAC to activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway has remained unknown. A study conducted in our laboratory has indicated that the signal that links SAC activation to apoptosis is the complex of activated Cdk1and the pro-apoptotic protein Bax. Bax binds to and facilitates the translocation of active Cdk1 to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) to phosphorylate and inactivate B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and B-cell lymphoma-xl (Bcl-xL), both of which are anti-apoptotic proteins located in the OMM. Inactivation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins allows Bax/ Bak to form pores in the OMM leading to the release of cytochrome c and ultimately cell death. This study has found that the Cdk1 and Bax complex is essential for Taxol-induced apoptosis, and Bax/Bak-deficient cells display a reduction in the level of phosphorylation of Bcl 2, Bcl-xL and reactivation of cell death signalling. Furthermore, it has been shown that the re-introduction of GFP-Bax in to Bax/Bak-deficient cells restored the phosphorylation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL and cell death. We have also demonstrated that the Cdk1/Bax complex is formed and translocate from the cytosol to mitochondria when the SAC is activated with both microtubules-targeting and motor protein-targeting drugs. Although, we have found that Cdk 1 interacts with Bax directly in vitro, the exact molecular region of Cdk1 that binds to Bax is unknown. The results have shown that it is the C-terminus of Cdk1 binds to Bax in vitro.

description: The overall goal of this research is to investigate the daily associations between social media usage, social support (giving and receiving support), physical activity, and well-being (stress, affect, and loneliness) at both the between and within-person levels. It will also examine whether social support and physical activity influence (mediate or moderate) the relationship between social media usage and well-being using an eight-day daily diary dataset from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) Refresher study. Because theories suggest different models, and the literature has mixed findings, we will test alternative hypotheses. The different models will be compared to see which one is a better fit and which predicted paths are significant.

Spatial Information and Representations of Word Meaning: Accessing Semantic Size during Reading
Creators: name: Hoedemaker, Renske Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Theories of embodied cognition have proposed that language is understood through perceptual simulation of the sensorimotor characteristics of its meaning. This claim suggests the activation of sensorimotor representations is encoding-based. Participants in three eye-tracking experiments were presented with triplets of either numbers or object and animal names. When the task was to compare the referent size of the items, word and number decision times showed a symbolic distance effect, such that response time was inversely related to the size difference between the items. When semantic size was irrelevant to the task it had no effect on word encoding times. Number encoding times showed a distance priming effect: encoding time increased with numerical difference between items. Together these results suggest that while activation of numerical magnitude information is both encoding-based and goal-driven, size information associated with words is goal-driven and does not occur automatically during encoding.

Anderson localization of light in disordered superlattices containing graphene layers

description: We theoretically investigate light propagation and Anderson localization in one-dimensional disordered superlattices composed of dielectric stacks with graphene sheets in between. Disorder is introduced either on graphene material parameters ({\it e.g.} Fermi energy) or on the widths of the dielectric stacks. We derive an analytic expression for the localization length $ξ$, and compare it to numerical simulations using transfer matrix technique; a very good agreement is found. We demonstrate that the presence of graphene may strongly attenuate the anomalously delocalised Breswter modes, and is at the origin of a periodic dependence of $ξ$ on frequency, in contrast to the usual asymptotic decay, $ξ\propto ω^{-2}$. By unveiling the effects of graphene on Anderson localization of light, we pave the way for new applications of graphene-based, disordered photonic devices in the THz spectral range.
