Health Econometric:Uncovering the Anthropometric Behavior on Women's Labor Market
Exploring current literature that assess relations between cognitive ability and height, obesity, and its productivity-employability effect on women's labor market we appraised the Argentine case to find these social-physical relations which involve anthropometric and traditional economic variables. Adapting an anthropometric Mincer approach by using probabilistic and censured econometric models which were developed for it. Subtle evidence of discriminative behavior on obese women, and a good performance of height variable as unobserved cognitive ability approximate measure to explain feminine productivity has been found.
Self-modulation of nonlinear Alfven waves in a strongly magnetized relativistic electron-positron plasma
We study the self-modulation of a circularly polarized Alfven wave in a strongly magnetized relativistic electron-positron plasma with finite temperature. This nonlinear wave corresponds to an exact solution of the equations, with a dispersion relation that has two branches. For a large magnetic field, the Alfven branch has two different zones, which we call the normal dispersion zone (where d omega/dk > 0) and the anomalous dispersion zone (where d omega/dk < 0). A nonlinear Schrodinger equation is derived in the normal dispersion zone of the Alfven wave, where the wave envelope can evolve as a periodic wave train or as a solitary wave, depending on the initial condition. The maximum growth rate of the modulational instability decreases as the temperature is increased. We also study the Alfven wave propagation in the anomalous dispersion zone, where a nonlinear wave equation is obtained. However, in this zone the wave envelope can evolve only as a periodic wave train.CONICyT 21100839 74110049FONDECyT 1110135 1110729 1080658 1121144CNPqEuropean Commission for a Marie Curie International Incoming FellowshipInstitute for Fusion Studie
Notas sobre Descomposiciones Microeconométricas: Un Análisis Antropométrico
This essay presents a theoretic approximation on the microeconometric decompositions analysis by incorporating anthropometric variables, and apprainsing theirs presumable effects on the income distribution. A new body-mass-index based equivalent scale is proposed toward more accurate individual income's representativeness. By assuming an hypothetical empiric case, interesting interpretations would be arriving on the possible interactions among anthropometry and inequality which were accounted through a set of parameter's interpretations on whose meaning could be useful at the time by developing policies to cope with eventual not desired anthropometric effects on income distribution
Health Econometric: Uncovering the Anthropometric Behavior on the Women's Labor Market
Exploring current literature which assess relations between
cognitive ability and height, obesity, and its productivity-employability effect on women's labor market, we appraised the Argentine case to quantify for social-physical interactions which involve anthropometric and traditional economic variables. Hence, an anthropometric Mincer approach has been adapted by using probabilistic and censured econometric models which were developed for it. There has been found evidence that could be understood as the existence of discriminative behavior on the obese women to market entrance; besides, a good performance of women height as an unobserved approximation of the cognitive ability measure to explain feminine productivity

High-contrast Ultrabroadband Frontend Source for High Intensity Few-Cycle Lasers
An ultrabroadband seed source for high-power, high-contrast OPCPA systems at
800 nm is presented. The source is based on post compression in a hollow-core
fiber followed by crossed polarized waves (XPW) filtering and is capable of
delivering 80J, 5fs, CEP-stable (0.3rad RMS) pulses with excellent

Comparing the counter-beaming and temperature anisotropy driven aperiodic electron firehose instabilities in collisionless plasma environments
The electron firehose instabilities are among the most studied kinetic
instabilities, especially in the context of space plasmas, whose dynamics is
mainly controlled by collisionless wave-particle interactions. This paper
undertakes a comparative analysis of the aperiodic electron firehose
instabilities excited either by the anisotropic temperature or by the electron
counter-beaming populations. Two symmetric counter-beams provide an effective
kinetic anisotropy similar to the temperature anisotropy of a single
(non-drifting) population, with temperature along the magnetic field direction
larger than that in perpendicular direction. Therefore, the counter-beaming
plasma is susceptible to firehose-like instabilities (FIs), parallel and
oblique branches. Here we focus on the oblique beaming FI, which is also
aperiodic when the free energy is provided by symmetric counter-beams. Our
results show that, for relative small drifts or beaming speeds (), not
exceeding the thermal speed (), the aperiodic FIs exist in the same
interval of wave-numbers and the same range of oblique angles (with respect to
the magnetic field direction), but the growth rates of counter-beaming FI
(CBFI) are always higher than those of temperature anisotropy FI (TAFI). For
, however, another electrostatic two-stream instability (ETSI) is
also predicted, which may have growth rates higher than those of CBFI, and may
dominate in that case the dynamics.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures, 2 tables, accepted for publication in The

Carrier-envelope phase stability of hollow-fibers used for high-energy, few-cycle pulse generation
We investigated the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stability of a hollow-fiber
setup used for high-energy, few-cycle pulse generation. Saturation of the
output pulse energy is observed at 0.6 mJ for a 260 um inner-diameter, 1 m long
fiber, statically filled with neon, with the pressure adjusted to achieve an
output spectrum capable of supporting sub-4fs pulses. The maximum output pulse
energy can be increased to 0.8mJ by using either differential pumping, or
circularly polarized input pulses. We observe the onset of an
ionization-induced CEP instability, which does not increase beyond an input
pulse energy of 1.25 mJ due to losses in the fiber caused by ionization. There
is no significant difference in the CEP stability with differential pumping
compared to static-fill, demonstrating that gas flow in differentially pumped
fibers does not degrade the CEP stabilization.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
