We examine the impact of population distribution on fertility in a nationally representative sample. We exploit detailed life-history data to conduct an event-history analysis of transition to first birth, examining mechanisms that might link migration and fertility: socialization, adaptation, selection, and disruption. Our multivariate analysis examines various socio-demographic traits, the pl...

We present mid-infrared imaging at 11.7 μm for the quadruple lens systems, PG1115+080 and B1422+231, using the cooled mid-infrared camera and spectrometer (COMICS) attached on the Subaru telescope. These lensed QSOs are characterized by their anomalous optical and radio flux ratios as obtained for (A1, A2) images of PG1115+080 and (A, B, C) images of B1422+231, respectively, i.e., such flux rat...

The quadruple system PG 1115+080 is the second gravitational lens with a reported measurement of the Hubble constant. In addition to the primary lens, three nearby galaxies are believed to contribute significantly to the lensing potential. In this letter we report accurate redshifts for all four galaxies and show that they belong to a single group at zd = 0.311. This group has very similar prop...

BACKGROUND We previously reported that administration of elastase inhibitors reverses fatal pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in rats by inducing smooth muscle cell (SMC) apoptosis. We showed in pulmonary artery (PA) organ culture that the mechanism by which elastase inhibitors induce SMC apoptosis involves repression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity and subsequent signaling throu...

We correct a minor point in section 3.2 of “Relaxion Fluctuations (Self-stopping Relaxion) and Overview Relaxion Stopping Mechanisms”, JHEP 05 (2020) 080. Furthermore, we clarify the origin equation (4.25). Finally, add some plots that are interest.

We employ Schwarzschild’s method of orbit modeling to constrain the mass profiles of the central lens galaxies in 0957+561 and PG 1115+080. We combine the measured central projected stellar velocity dispersions of these galaxies with the self-similar radial profiles of the rms velocity and of the Gauss-Hermite moment h4 observed in nearby galaxies for 0 <∼ R <∼ 2Reff . For 0957+561, we find a 1...
