Decomposition of gendered income-related inequalities in multiple biological cardiovascular risk factors in a middle-aged population

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2018
Background Socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular disease seem to widen or endure in Sweden. However, research on inequalities in antecedent cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), and particularly what underpins them, is scarce.

Versatile Magneto‐Dielectric Response of Epitaxial Thin Films of the High Entropy Oxide Perovskite Nd(Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2)O3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The magnetic high entropy oxide perovskite Nd(Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2)O3 exhibits a substantially large dielectric constant (εr) at room temperature, which shows distinct anionic and cationic contributions in the form of zero and finite bias peaks, respectively, down to its magnetic transition temperature (Tmag).

A method for measuring spatial effects on socioeconomic inequalities using the concentration index

International Journal for Equity in Health, 2020
Background Although spatial effects contribute to inequalities in health care service utilisation and other health outcomes in low and middle income countries, there have been no attempts to incorporate the impact of neighbourhood effects into equity ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Chronic Hypoxia Disrupts Spermatogenesis Through ASXL2–EZH2–Mediated Microtubule Destabilization

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the mechanism by which chronic hypoxia impairs spermatogenesis via the ASXL2–EZH2 axis, hindering the transition of spermatids from round to elongated forms. Key findings reveal that under hypoxic conditions, downregulated ASXL2 expression reduces EZH2 binding to the CEP162 promoter, leading to decreased H3K27me3 modification and ...

Second-order matrix concentration inequalities

Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis, 2018
Matrix concentration inequalities give bounds for the spectral-norm deviation of a random matrix from its expected value. These results have a weak dimensional dependence that is sometimes, but not always, necessary. This paper identifies one of the sources of the dimensional term and exploits this insight to develop sharper matrix concentration ...

An Increasing Misalignment Between Crop Distribution and Environmental Resources Under Climate Change in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change reshapes the spatial alignment between crop production and environmental resources. Using multi‐source data and a crop model, integrated climatic, water, and soil endowments for maize and wheat are quantified and compared with harvest distributions.

Concentration Inequalities for Nonlinear Matroid Intersection [PDF]

Proceedings of the Twenty-Third Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, 2012
Summary: In this work we propose new randomized rounding algorithms for matroid intersection and matroid base polytopes. We prove concentration inequalities for polynomial objective functions and constraints that has numerous applications and can be used in approximation algorithms for Minimum quadratic spanning tree, unrelated parallel machines ...
