Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public hospital(s). Main source(s): Rigshospitalet Introduction Familial predisposition to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death among patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), is sparsely described in current literature. A higher rate events first-degree relatives might imply an increased risk future could provide vital imp...

This paper examines the long-term impacts of early childhood exposure to air pollution on adult outcomes using U.S. administrative data. We exploit changes in air pollution driven by the 1970 Clean Air Act to analyze the difference in outcomes between cohorts born in counties before and after large improvements in air pollution relative to those same cohorts born in counties that had no improve...

We investigate the long-term effect of cash assistance for beneficiaries and their children by following up, after four decades, with participants in the Seattle-Denver Income Maintenance Experiment. Treated families in this randomized experiment received thousands of dollars per year in extra government benefits for three or five years in the 1970s. Using administrative data from the Social Se...

A once widely used nematicide that is now banned, 1,2dibromokhloropropane (DBCP), persists in groundwaters and is a significant pOlluUnt in some water supplier. A study was conducted to determine whether a means for the biodegradation of this persistent compound could be devised. DBCP was not converted to organic products, halide, or CO, in unamended samples of soil, subsoil materiel, or ground...

Let A be the arrangement of hyperplanes consisting of the re ecting hyperplanes for the root system An 1. Let B = B(q) be the Varchenko matrix for this arrangement with all hyperplane parameters equal to q. We show that B is the matri x with rows and columns indexed by permutations with ; entry equal to qi( 1) where i( ) is the number of inversions of . Equivalently B is the matrix for left mul...
