A Fragile Hold on Consumption: Consumption and the New Middle Class in Colombia
(CCSE, 2019-08-16)This paper explores consumption patterns, access to banking services, attitudes to government and aspirations of the growing and vulnerable middle class in the global South. Data comes from a population survey conducted ... -
Overweight and Obese Have Similar Burden of Hip Fracture as Normal Weight Older Adults
(Springer US, 2019-07-19)The association between body weight and fracture risk is a significant public health concern as the majority of older adults are overweight or obese and have low mineral density. Osteoporotic fractures are projected to ... -
Hybrid Causality Analysis of ENSO’s Global Impacts on Climate Variables Based on Data-Driven Analytics and Climate Model Simulation
(Frontiers, 2019-09-18)Numerous studies have indicated that El Niño and the southern oscillation (ENSO) could have determinant impacts on remote weather and climate using the conventional correlation-based methods, which however, cannot identify ... -
Design and Modeling of the Off-Axis Parabolic Deformable (OPD) Mirror Laboratory
(SPIE, 2019-08-12)Coronagraph-equipped direct imaging missions need an active wavefront control system to cancel out the optical aberrations that degrade the performance of the coronagraphs. A fast steering mirror is used to control ... -
Solar Radiation Pressure Effects on the Orbital Motion at SEL2 for the James Webb Space Telescope
(NASA Technical Reports Server, 2019-08-11)Due to James Webb Space Telescope’s large sunshield, which will always be facing the Sun to protect the observatory’s instruments, Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP) has an important effect on its orbital motion around SEL2. ... -
Cluster-Based Join for Geographically Distributed Big RDF Data
(IEEE, 2019-08-29)Federated RDF systems allow users to retrieve data from multiple independent sources without needing to have all the data in the same triple store. The performance of these systems can be poor for large and geographically ... -
Visual Deficits and Dysfunctions Associated with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(American Academy of Optometry, 2019-05-04)SIGNIFICANCE This study reports prevalence data combined independently for accommodative dysfunction, convergence insufficiency, visual field loss, and visual acuity loss in patients with traumatic brain injury in the ... -
Neurological Manifestation of Incretin-Based Therapies in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
(Aging and Disease, 2019-03-03)As a new class of antidiabetic drug, incretin-based therapies, which include dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4Is) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), have raised concerns about symptoms of ... -
CAFE: a new, improved non-resonant laser-induced fluorescence instrument for airborne in situ measurement of formaldehyde

Thermoelectric properties enhancement of p-type composite films using wood-based binder and mechanical pressing
(Springer Nature Limited, 2019-05-27)Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) fabricated using additive manufacturing methods are attractive because they offer the advantages of scalability, lower cost, and potentially higher power density than conventional TEGs. ... -
Disparities in Diffuse Cortical White Matter Integrity Between Socioeconomic Groups
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-06-12)There is a growing literature demonstrating a link between lower socioeconomic status (SES) and poorer neuroanatomical health, such as smaller total and regional gray and white matter volumes, as well as greater white ... -
Artificial Intelligence Based Cloud Distributor (AI-CD): Probing Low Cloud Distribution with a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network
(2019-05-21)Here we introduce the artificial intelligence-based cloud distributor (AI-CD) approach to generate two-dimensional (2D) marine low cloud reflectance fields. AI-CD uses a conditional generative adversarial net (cGAN) ... -
On the transition to secondary Kerr combs in whispering-gallery mode resonators
(Optical Society of America, 2019)We demonstrate that extended dissipative structures in Kerr-nonlinear whispering-gallery mode resonators undergo a spatiotemporal instability, as the pumping parameters are varied. We show that the dynamics of the patterns ... -
