This paper investigates the slowdown in earnings assimilation of recent immigrants to the U.S. I find that recent immigrant cohorts have experienced slower assimilation in terms of their occupational task requirements compared to past cohorts. This occupational task assimilation slowdown can explain a large portion of the slowdown in earnings assimilation. Furthermore, accounting for changing r...

background: stroke is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in the united states. numerous studies have shown that dietary carbohydrates play an important role in stroke incident. therefore, this study aimed to assess the association between dietary intake of carbohydrate and its types and stroke incidence among iranian adults. methods: a case‑control study was performed among ...

about a decade ago, carbohydrate mouth rinsing was shown to enhance endurance exercise performance. this improvement was more pronounced in a fasted compared to a fed state, suggesting that the ergogenic effect of carbohydrate mouth rinse is dependent on endogenous carbohydrate storage. hence, indirectly highlights the potential use of carbohydrate mouth rinse as a potential strategy to mitigat...

This paper investigates the dynamics of immigrants’ employment assimilation in comparison with the standard static assimilation model. When the effect of past employment experience on current employment possibilities differs between immigrants and natives, then the static assimilation model might produce biased and unrealistic predictions of the relative employment probabilities of immigrants. ...

This manuscript is devoted to the attempts on the design of new nonlinear data assimilation schemes. The variational and sequential assimilation methods are reviewed with emphasis on their performances on dealing with nonlinearity and high dimension of the environmental dynamical systems. The nonlinear data assimilation is based on Bayesian formulation and its approximate solutions. Sequential ...

Many of the talks and posters during this year’s conference will discuss how both ensemble forecasting and atmospheric data assimilation can work synergistically together. We detail provide a brief description of the underlying theoretical basis for this research. The unifying idea is that the chaotic nature of the atmosphere can actually be put to use to improve data assimilation. Ensemble for...

We describe a sequential assimilation approach useful for assimilating tracer measurements into a threedimensional chemical transport model (CTM) of the stratosphere. The numerical code, developed largely according to Khattatov et al. (2000), uses parameterizations and simplifications allowing assimilation of sparse observations and the simultaneous evaluation of analysis errors, with reasonabl...

Modelling of terrestrial systems is continuously moving towards more integrated modelling approaches, where different terrestrial compartment models are combined in order to realise a more sophisticated physical description of water, energy and carbon fluxes across compartment boundaries and to provide a more integrated view on terrestrial processes. While such models can effectively reduce cer...
