Examining discrimination in home improvement financing (Home Mortgage Disclosure Act 2012–2016) and neighborhood health in the United States by Davis, Brigette A., Arcaya, Mariana C., Williams, David R., Metzger, Molly, Krieger, Nancy

“…We find non-Hispanic Black applicants are significantly more likely to be denied loans (OR: 2.28 p < 0.01), and that loans for areas with a high proportion of non-Hispanic Black residents (OR: 1.09, p < 0.01) are most likely to be denied, while applications in tracts with the highest proportion of non-Hispanic white residents (OR: 0.90, p < 0.01) are least likely to be denied. We find that white (r = 0.203), but not Black (r = 0.02) home improvement applications are correlated with the proportion of Black residents currently residing in the census tract. …”

Artificial Intelligence and the US-China Balance of Power by Chang, Benjamin Angel

“…I find that control over the production of advanced AI chips by the United States and allies almost certainly means the United States would better exploit such weapons, if they emerged as decisive in modern warfare, within at least the next ten years. Potential Chinese policy responses, such as cannibalizing its civilian sector or substituting with older chips, would likely fail for technical reasons.…”

Deep proteomic profiling of human carotid atherosclerotic plaques using multidimensional LC-MS/MS by Sze, Siu Kwan, Hao, Piliang, Ren, Yan, Pasterkamp, Gerard, Moll, Frans L., de Kleijn, Dominique P. V.

“…Results: A total of 4702 proteins were identified from atherosclerotic plaques at a false discovery rate (FDR) of 1%, of which 3846 were identified with at least 2 unique peptides. Many pathways related to the development and progression of atherosclerosis were identified, such as atherosclerosis signaling, toll receptor signaling pathway and inhibition of matrix metalloproteases. …”

Two millennia of tropical cyclone-induced mud layers in a northern Yucatán stalagmite : multiple overlapping climatic hazards during the Maya Terminal Classic “megadroughts” by Frappier, Amy Benoit, Pyburn, James, Pinkey-Drobnis, Aurora D., Wang, Xianfeng, Corbett, D. Reide, Dahlin, Bruce H.

“…This new conservative proxy for paleotempestology recorded cave flooding events with a recurrence interval of 8.3 years during the twentieth century, with the greatest frequency during the twentieth century and the least frequent during the seventeenth century. Tropical cyclone (TC) events are unlikely to flood the cave during drought when the water table is depressed. …”

Reconciling Bayesian and perimeter regularization for binary inversion by Dunbar, Oliver R. A., Dunlop, Matthew M., Elliott, Charles M., Hoang, Viet Ha, Stuart, Andrew M.

“…In this paper two links are studied: (i) the maximum a posteriori objective function of a suitably chosen Bayesian phase-field approach is shown to be closely related to a least squares plus perimeter regularization objective; (ii) sample paths of a suitably chosen Bayesian level set formulation are shown to possess a finite perimeter and to have the ability to learn about the true perimeter.…”

HLO : half-kernel laplacian operator for surface smoothing by Pan, Wei, Lu, Xuequan, Gong, Yuanhao, Tang, Wenming, Liu, Jun, He, Ying, Qiu, Guoping

“…Given a vertex v, HLO first finds all pairs of its neighboring vertices and divides each pair into two subsets (called half windows); then computes the uniform Laplacians of all such subsets and subsequently projects the computed Laplacians to the full-window uniform Laplacian to alleviate flipping and degeneration. The half window with least regularization energy is then chosen for v. …”
