DIFFERENCES IN COUNTY-LEVEL CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE MORTALITY RATES DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY HURRICANE MATTHEW AND THE MODERATING EFFECT OF SOCIAL CAPITAL: A NATURAL EXPERIMENT

Differences in county-level cardiovascular disease mortality rates due to damage caused by hurricane Matthew and the moderating effect of social capital: a natural experiment

Abstract Background As the climate continues to warm, hurricanes will continue to increase in both severity and frequency.Hurricane damage is associated with cardiovascular events, but social capital may moderate this relationship.Social capital is a multidimensional concept with a rich theoretical tradition.Simply put, social capital refers to the

Mapping bound plasmon propagation on a nanoscale stripe waveguide using quantum dots: influence of spacer layer thickness

In this paper we Bathroom Safety image the highly confined long range plasmons of a nanoscale metal stripe waveguide using quantum emitters.Plasmons were excited using a highly focused 633 nm laser beam and a specially designed grating structure to provide stronger incoupling to the desired mode.A homogeneous thin layer of quantum dots was used to
