Let F be a finite extension of Qp. Using the mod p Satake transform, we define what it means for an irreducible admissible smooth representation of an F -split p-adic reductive group over Fp to be supersingular. We then give the classification of irreducible admissible smooth GLn(F )-representations over Fp in terms of supersingular representations. As a consequence we deduce that supersingular...

Let F be a local/global field. Let E and K be quadratic semisimple F–algebras. Let φ and λ be characters/grössencharacters of E× and K×. We define a local/global symbol ( φ λ ) to be essentially the root number of the representation BCK/F (AIE/F (φ))⊗ λ−1. In the spirit of quadratic reciprocity, we prove that ( φ λ )( λ φ ) = φ(−1)λ(−1). We then derive some consequences of this reciprocity for ...

Objective .- Determine if the addition of hemoglobin testing improves risk prediction for life insurance applicants. Method .- Hemoglobin results for insurance applicants tested from 1993 to 2007, with vital status determined by Social Security Death Master File follow-up in 2011, were analyzed by age and sex with and without accounting for the contribution of other test results. Results .- Hem...

We examined the association between 5 processing speed measures and general cognitive ability in a large (>900) sample of relatively healthy men and women at age 70. The processing speed tests were the Wechsler Digit Symbol-Coding and Symbol Search, simple reaction time, 4-choice reaction time, and inspection time. To inquire whether the processing speed tasks might be biomarkers of cognitive a...

We estimate cross-sectional associations of neighborhood-level disorder, socioeconomic characteristics and social capital with individual-level systemic inflammation, measured as high C-reactive protein (CRP), using Boston Metropolitan Immigrant Health & Legal Status Survey (BM-IHLSS) data-a sample of relatively young, healthy foreign-born Brazilian adults. Logistic regression analyses suggest ...
