    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

    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

    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 80μ\muJ, 5fs, CEP-stable (0.3rad RMS) pulses with excellent spectral and temporal qualit

    Comparing the counter-beaming and temperature anisotropy driven aperiodic electron firehose instabilities in collisionless plasma environments

    Full text link
    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 (UU), not exceeding the thermal speed (α\alpha), 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 U/α>1U/\alpha > 1, 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 Astrophysical Journa

    Carrier-envelope phase stability of hollow-fibers used for high-energy, few-cycle pulse generation

    Full text link
    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
