What happens when the definition of disability changes? The case of obesity

open access: yes, 2016
This paper examines how Congress’s 2008 expansion of who is disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) impacts the labor market outcomes of newly covered individuals. Focusing on obese individuals, I exploit variation in coverage of obesity

Gender and occupational wage gaps in Romania: from planned equality to market inequality?

open access: yes, 2015
In Romania, the communist regime promoted an official policy of gender equality for more than 40 years, providing equal access to education and employment and restricting pay differentiation based on gender. After its fall in December 1989, the promotion

The Effect of Sociodemographic Factors on Female Educational Attainment: An Application of the Multipopulation Curie–Weiss Model

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
In recent times, there have been a lot of advocacies to encourage females of all ages to pursue education to the highest level. The Government of Ghana and its stakeholders have championed this to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 4 in this regard. However, progress has been on a snail’s pace. In this study, we employed the multipopulation Curie–

On analytical applications of stable homotopy (the Arnold conjecture, critical points)

open access: yes, 1998
We prove the Arnold conjecture for closed symplectic manifolds with $\pi_2(M)=0$ and $\cat M=\dim M$. Furthermore, we prove an analog of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann theorem for functions with ``generalized hyperbolicity'' property.Comment: AMSTEX, 12 ...

Scaling analysis of a model Hamiltonian for Ce$^{3+}$ impurity in a cubic metal

open access: yes, 1996
We introduce various exchange interactions in a model Hamiltonian for Ce$^{3+}$ ions in cubic symmetry with three configurations ($f^0$,$f^1$,$f^2$). With the impurity pseudo spin $S_I=1/2$, our Hamiltonian includes: (i) One-channel $S_c=1/2$ Anderson ...

A queueing theory approach for a multi-speed exclusion process. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
10 pages, 6 figuresInternational audienceWe consider a one-dimensional stochastic reaction-diffusion generalizing the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, and aiming at describing single lane roads with vehicles that can change speed.

Supersymmetric Godel Universes in String Theory

open access: yes, 2003
Supersymmetric backgrounds in string and M-theory of the Godel Universe type are studied. We find several new Godel Universes that preserve up to 20 supersymmetries.

Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations for isospin asymmetric nuclear matter based on improved approximation schemes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations for isospin asymmetric nuclear matter which are based on improved approximations schemes. The potential matrix elements have been adapted for isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in order to account for ...
