Likelihood-based inference of population history from low-coverage de novo genome assemblies

TL;DR: A bioinformatic pipeline for generating outgroup‐rooted alignments of orthologous sequence blocks from de novo low‐coverage short‐read data for a small number of genomes, and it is shown how such sequence blocks can be used to fit explicit models of population divergence and admixture in a likelihood framework.

Stories of Change in Nutrition: A Tool Pool

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the various concepts, methods, and tools that SoC researchers are considering to measure nutrition-relevant change in their respective countries, which are to some extent sequential within policy/programming cycles.

Equilibrium structures of three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-membered unsaturated N-containing heterocycles.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to use the CCSD(T) electronic structure method with the relatively small w CVTZ basis set, with all electrons correlated, and the effect of further basis set enlargement, wCVTZ → wCVQZ, computed at the MP2 level, to obtain reliable equilibrium structures for the semirigid molecules investigated.

Ground state of octahedral platinum hexafluoride

TL;DR: In this article, the four-component Dirac molecular Hartree-Fock and density functional theory (DFT) and the two-component zeroth-order regular approach (ZORA) including spin-orbit interaction calculations predict a diamagnetic octahedral molecule with a closed-shell ground state, which is in accordance with the observation of the high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and its undisturbed ir and Raman spectra.

An evaluation of the impact of progresa on pre-school child height

TL;DR: One of the major components of the PROGRESA program has been directed toward improving the nutritional status of small children in poor rural communities in Mexico as mentioned in this paper, which has been shown to have a substantial effect on lifetime productivities and earnings of currently small children.

Progressing through progresa: an impact assessment of a school subsidy experiment

TL;DR: The authors used a Markov schooling transition model applied to the experimental data to assess the impact of the educational subsidy program along several dimensions, including effects on initial ages of school entry, dropout rates, grade repetition rates, and school reentry rates.

A New Approach to Social Assistance: Latin America’s Experience with Conditional Cash Transfer Programs

TL;DR: Conditional cash transfer as discussed by the authors is a departure from more traditional approaches to social assistance, that represents an innovative, and increasingly popular channel for the delivery of social services that represents a demand-side complement to the supply of health, and education services.
