A better understanding of work aggravated asthma (WAA), as well as work related new onset asthma (NOA), is needed to aid in prevention efforts. METHODS WAA and NOA in the United States were compared using cases reported to the National Instit...

In this paper we study the properties of systems of bounded arithmetic capturing small complexity classes and state conditions sufficient for such systems to capture the corresponding complexity class tightly. Our class of systems of bounded arithmetic is the class of secondorder systems with comprehension axiom for a syntactically restricted class of formulas Φ ⊂ Σ 1 based on a logic in the de...

We describe our development and use of DescriptiveEnvironment (DE). This is a program to aid researchers in Finite Model Theory and students of logic to automatically generate examples, counterexamples of conjectures, reductions between problems, and visualizations of structures and queries. DescriptiveEnvironment is available for free use under an ISC license at http://www.cs.umass.edu/∼immerm...
