How the Nonextensivity Parameter Affects Energy Fluctuations

In this article, the effect of the nonextensivity parameter on the energy fluctuations of nonextensive systems is studied in two different versions of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. Once a general expression has been reported for the energy fluctuations in the second version (Tsallis work in 1988), the energy fluctuations of an ideal gas and a harmonic oscillator are studied in the second a...

How IEQ Affects Health, Productivity

his article, a summary of Fisk,1,2 estimates the nationwide improvements in health and productivity potentially attainable by providing better indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in U.S. buildings. Estimates include the potential reductions in three categories of health effects, the associated economic benefits, and the potential direct improvements in productivity not mediated through health.

How childhood health affects poverty in adulthood

earnings. For example, a sibling study found that those with poor health in childhood had 24 percent lower earnings than their healthier siblings. Second, child health can affect schooling and cognitive achievement, which can in turn affect income. For example, a study of the effects of the eradication of hookworm disease in the American south in the early 1900s found large increases in educati...
