The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA), signed into law by President Donald Trump in December 2017, is one of the most significant policy reforms passed by Congress in recent times. Following this tax reform, individuals, families, and communities across the country have been reaping the benefits of bigger paychecks, lower taxes, and more economic opportunities. In this study, we model the effect of the TCJA on every state and congressional district in the country.

A substantial proportion of the adult US population with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are undiagnosed, calling into question the comprehensiveness of current screening practices, which primarily rely on age, family history, and body mass index (BMI). We hypothesized that a polygenic score (PGS) may serve as a complementary tool to identify high-risk individuals. The T2D PGS maintained predictive utility after adjusting for family history and combining genetics with family history led to even more improved disease risk prediction. We observed that the PGS was meaningfully related to age of onset with ...

"The flood of new imagery capabilities is overwhelming. Data driven technologies like artificial intelligence are essential," Gen. Richard Clarke, head of Special Operations Command, told the annual GEOINT conference today.

Abstract Soft actuators are versatile and can readily perform various functions and interact safely with humans and the environment owing to their deformability. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have advantages of high power-to-weight ratio, silent operation, and high response speed, which make them suitable for fabricating soft, compact, and muscle-like soft actuators with various transformation capabilities. However, it is challenging to precisely control SMA-based soft actuators and robots because of the lack of explicit dynamics-based control method. In this study, a linear phase transition mod...

Toggle open close In March, the White House announced the American Jobs Plan—a proposal to spend $2 trillion on infrastructure and other projects—paid for by an increase in the corporate income tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent.REF As lawmakers consider the merits of the proposal, it is helpful to review important aspects of how corporate taxation affects economic activity and to give an estimate of the effects of the higher tax rate. The estimate presented here uses a simple set of elasticities to give lawmakers an idea of the effect that a seven-percentage-point increase in the cor...
