An investigation of quantitative methods for assessing intersectionality in health research: A systematic review

Intersectionality is a theoretical framework that investigates how interlocking systems of power and oppression at the societal level influence the lived experiences of historically and socially marginalized groups.Currently, there are no consistent or widely adopted quantitative methods to investigate research questions informed by intersectionali

Pattern analysis in a benthic bacteria-nutrient system

We study steady states in a reaction-diffusion system for a benthic bacteria-nutrient model in a marine sediment over 1D and 2D domains by using Landau reductions and numerical path following methods.We point out how the system reacts to changes of the strength of food supply and ingestion.We find that the Pants system has a stable homogeneous stea

Cortically-controlled population stochastic facilitation as a plausible substrate for guiding sensory transfer across the thalamic gateway.

The thalamus is the primary Rectangle - Acrylic Block LED Night Light gateway that relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex.While a single recipient cortical cell receives the convergence of many principal relay cells of the thalamus, each thalamic cell in turn integrates a dense and distributed synaptic feedback from the cortex.During sen

Technical Note: A simple procedure for removing temporal discontinuities in ERA-Interim upper stratospheric temperatures for use in nudged chemistry-climate model simulations

This note describes a simple procedure for removing unphysical temporal discontinuities in ERA-Interim upper stratospheric global mean temperatures in March 1985 and August 1998 that have arisen due to changes in satellite radiance data used in the assimilation.The derived temperature adjustments (offsets) are suitable for use in stratosphere-resol
