What is the Economic Cost of Overweight Children?
Childhood overweight is now considered the most common health problem for children in the U.S. An important question is whether parents and policymakers will see rising medical expenditures for these children while they are still young. We estimate the overweight attributable fraction (OAF) of childrenâs medical expenditures, controlling for other factors that may cause expenditures to differ. We find that medical expenditures for overweight children are on average $12.09 higher per year (OAF = 0.5 percent), but confidence intervals are large and include zero. We also find little difference in the types of principal diagnoses per visit reported by weight status.

Resolution of Li deposition vs. intercalation of graphite anodes in lithium ion batteries - an in situ electron paramagnetic resonance study
In situ electrochemical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is used to understand the mixed lithiation/deposition behavior on graphite anodes during the charging process. The conductivity, degree of lithiation, and the deposition process of the graphite are reflected by the EPR spectroscopic quality factor, the spin density, and the EPR spectral change, respectively. Classical overâcharging (normally associated with potentials â€0â
V vs. Li(+)/Li) are not required for Li metal deposition onto the graphite anode: Li deposition initiates at ca. +0.04â
V (vs. Li(+)/Li) when the scan rate is lowered to 0.04â
mVâs(â1). The inhibition of Li deposition by vinylene carbonate (VC) additive is highlighted by the EPR results during cycling, attributed to a more mechanically flexible and polymeric SEI layer with higher ionic conductivity. A safe cutâoff potential limit of +0.05â
V for the anode is suggested for high rate cycling, confirmed by the EPR response over prolonged cycling
