OBJECTIVE Assessing the discrimination-health disparities hypothesis requires psychometrically sound, multidimensional measures of discrimination. Among the available discrimination measures, few are multidimensional and none have adequate psychometric testing in a large, African American sample. We report the development and psychometric testing of the multidimensional Jackson Heart Study Disc...

Multidimensional poverty measures have become a standard feature in assessments. A large and growing body of work uses endogenous (data driven) weights to compute multidimensional poverty. We demonstrate that broad classes violate key properties indices such as monotonicity subgroup consistency, without which evaluation policy targeting are seriously compromised. Using data from Ecuador Uganda ...

Multidimensional lossless networks are of special interest for use as reference structures for multidimensional wave digital filters [1]-[3]. The starting point of the presented synthesis procedure for two-dimensional representatives of the networks mentioned is a scattering matrix description of the desired multiport. This given matrix is assumed to have those properties which have turned out ...

BACKGROUND The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) is a short instrument, developed to assess perceived social support. The original English version has been widely used. The original scale has demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties in different settings, but no validated Swedish version has been available. The aim was therefore to translate, adapt and psychome...

The multidimensional Manhattan street networks constitute a family of digraphs with many interesting properties, such as vertex symmetry (in fact they are Cayley digraphs), easy routing, Hamiltonicity, and modular structure. From the known structural properties of these digraphs, we determine their spectra, which always contain the spectra of hypercubes. In particular, in the standard (two-dime...

Comparison between multidimensional persistent Betti numbers is often based on the multidimensional matching distance. While this metric is rather simple to define and compute by considering a suitable family of filtering functions associated with lines having a positive slope, it has two main drawbacks. First, it forgets the natural link between the homological properties of filtrations associ...

We consider the General Purpose Analog Computer (GPAC), introduced by Claude Shannon in 1941 as a mathematical model of Differential Analysers, that is to say as a model of continuous-time analog (mechanical, and later one electronic) machines of that time. We extend the model properly to a model of computation not restricted to univariate functions (i.e. functions f : R → R) but also to the mu...

When discretizing equations with second-order derivatives, like the Navier-Stokes equations, the boundary and interior penalties play a critical role in terms of the conservation, consistency, energy stability, and adjoint consistency of summation-by-parts (SBP) methods. While interior penalties for tensor-product SBP operators have been studied, they have not been investigated in the context o...
