Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mobile money—a digital financial service—has proliferated in many developing countries. Owing to its ability to reduce transaction costs and allow even the poor to be financially included, it has been widely adopted. While a growing body of literature has examined its welfare effects, its effects on diet quality of households and individuals ...

Probing wrong-sign Yukawa couplings at the LHC and a future linear collider
, 2014 We consider the two-Higgs-doublet model as a framework in which to evaluate the viability of scenarios in which the sign of the coupling of the observed Higgs boson to down-type fermions (in particular, $b$-quark pairs) is opposite to that of the ...

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.Abstract Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and alcohol use frequently co‐occur and are mutually reinforcing. Few studies have examined how changes in PTSD severity influence subsequent changes in alcohol use, particularly in the context of comorbidity treatments. This secondary analysis utilized data from a clinical trial comparing 12 weeks

Congruence properties of Borcherds product exponents
, 2013 In his striking 1995 paper, Borcherds found an infinite product expansion for certain modular forms with CM divisors. In particular, this applies to the Hilbert class polynomial of discriminant $-d$ evaluated at the modular $j$-function.

Sudden change of geometric quantum discord in finite temperature reservoirs
, 2015 We investigate sudden change (SC) behaviors of the distance-based measures of geometric quantum discords (GQDs) for two non-interacting qubits subject to the two-sided and the one-sided thermal reservoirs.
