Lower subjective socioeconomic status (SSS) and higher personal relative deprivation (PRD) relate to poorer health. Both constructs concern people's perceived relative social position, but they differ in their emphasis on the reference groups people use to determine their comparative disadvantage (national population vs. similar others) and the importance of resentment that may arise from such ...

OBJECTIVE Eliminating health disparities, including those that are a result of socioeconomic status (SES), is one of the overarching goals of Healthy People 2010. This article reports on the development of a new, adolescent-specific measure of subjective social status (SSS) and on initial exploratory analyses of the relationship of SSS to adolescents' physical and psychological health. METHOD...

There is a strong positive relationship between objective measures of socio-economic status (OSS) and general health. However, there is an increasing interest in the relationship between health and subjective socio-economic status (SSS), which describes one's perceived rank in relation to the rest of the society, based on factors such as income, occupation and education. While the relationship ...

Background: Modern MEG devices include 102 sensor triplets containing one 14 magnetometer and two planar gradiometers. The first processing step is often a signal space 15 separation (SSS), which provides a powerful noise reduction. A question commonly raised by 16 researchers and reviewers is which data should be employed in source reconstruction: (1) 17 magnetometers only, (2) gradiometers on...

The UK Stop Smoking Services (SSS) are a source of information and advice on e-cigarettes for smokers and thus it is important to understand the knowledge of, and attitudes towards, e-cigarettes held by stop smoking practitioners. The datasets were English SSS quarterly monitoring returns (n = 207,883) and an online survey of English SSS practitioners, managers, and commissioners between 26th N...

BACKGROUND Current, invasive cerebral oxygenation monitors require either retrograde jugular venous bulb cannulation or intraparenchymal probe insertion. There is no accurate, noninvasive, continuous monitor of cerebral blood oxygenation. METHODS The authors designed, built, and tested novel optoacoustic instrumentation that continuously measures blood oxygenation in the superior sagittal sin...

Abstract Small signal stability (SSS) deals with the problem of state evolution with time when power system is subjected to small signal disturbances .Conventional SSS model for power system is a kind of linear control system by using Taylor's formula at equilibrium point without considering time delay influence. However, time delay, existing in transmission of data from the measurement locatio...

We present a method of secure scalable streaming (SSS) that enables low-complexity and high-quality transcoding to be performed at intermediate, possibly untrusted, network nodes without compromising the end-to-end security of the system. SSS encodes video into secure scalable packets using jointly designed scalable coding and progressive encryption techniques. This combination allows downstrea...

This paper revisits the work of (Kuncham et al., 2015) which developed a statistical sandhi splitter (SSS) for agglutinative languages that was tested for Telugu and Malayalam languages. Handling compound words is a major challenge for Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications for agglutinative languages. Hence, in this paper we concentrate on testing the effect of SSS on the NLP applicati...

Microwave Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) measurements can be performed by isolating the emissivity response to salinity changes from numerous geophysical effects, including surface temperature and wind waves. At L-band frequencies (1 to 2 GHz), the sensitivity to SSS is sufficient but it falls off quickly as frequency is increased. Nevertheless, methods using higher microwave frequencies with much ...
