A comparison of short-term and long-term air pollution exposure associations with mortality in two cohorts in Scotland
Air pollution–mortality risk estimates are generally larger at longer-term, compared with short-term, exposure time scales. We compared associations between short-term exposure to black smoke (BS) and mortality with long-term exposure–mortality associations in cohort participants and with short-term exposure–mortality associations in the general population from which the cohorts were selected. We assessed short-to-medium–term exposure–mortality associations in the Renfrew–Paisley and Collaborative cohorts (using nested case–control data sets), and compared them with long-term exposure–mortality associations (using a multilevel spatiotemporal exposure model and survival analyses) and short-to-medium–term exposure–mortality associations in the general population (using time-series analyses). For the Renfrew–Paisley cohort (15,331 participants), BS exposure–mortality associations were observed in nested case–control analyses that accounted for spatial variations in pollution exposure and individual-level risk factors. These cohort-based associations were consistently greater than associations estimated in time-series analyses using a single monitoring site to represent general population exposure {e.g., 1.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.1, 3.4%] vs. 0.2% (95% CI: 0.0, 0.4%) increases in mortality associated with 10-μg/m3 increases in 3-day lag BS, respectively}. Exposure–mortality associations were of larger magnitude for longer exposure periods [e.g., 3.4% (95% CI: –0.7, 7.7%) and 0.9% (95% CI: 0.3, 1.5%) increases in all-cause mortality associated with 10-μg/m3 increases in 31-day BS in case–control and time-series analyses, respectively; and 10% (95% CI: 4, 17%) increase in all-cause mortality associated with a 10-μg/m3 increase in geometic mean BS for 1970–1979, in survival analysis]. After adjusting for individual-level exposure and potential confounders, short-term exposure–mortality associations in cohort participants were of greater magnitude than in comparable general population time-series study analyses. However, short-term exposure–mortality associations were substantially lower than equivalent long-term associations, which is consistent with the possibility of larger, more persistent cumulative effects from long-term exposures
Self-trapped bidirectional waveguides in a saturable photorefractive medium
We introduce a time-dependent model for the generation of joint solitary
waveguides by counter-propagating light beams in a photorefractive crystal.
Depending on initial conditions, beams form stable steady-state structures or
display periodic and irregular temporal dynamics. The steady-state solutions
are non-uniform in the direction of propagation and represent a general class
of self-trapped waveguides, including counterpropagating spatial vector
solitons as a particular case.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Holographic Dark Energy Scenario and Variable Modified Chaplygin Gas
In this letter, we have considered that the universe is filled with normal
matter and variable modified Chaplygin gas. Also we have considered the
interaction between normal matter and variable modified Chaplygin gas in FRW
universe. Then we have considered a correspondence between the holographic dark
energy density and interacting variable modified Chaplygin gas energy density.
Then we have reconstructed the potential of the scalar field which describes
the variable modified Chaplygin cosmology.Comment: 4 latex pages, no figures, RevTeX styl
