Summary: In this article, we propose a novel test based on an aggregation of the marginal cumulative covariances to accommodate heteroscedasticity and high dimensionality in high-dimensional data. Our proposed test statistic is scale-invariance, tuning-free, and easy to implement, with established asymptotic normality under the null hypothesis. We find that our proposed test is much more powerful than existing competitors for covariates with heterogeneous variances, even under high-dimensional linear models, while maintaining high efficiency for homoscedastic covariates.

Summary: This paper proposes new statistical inference procedures for high dimensional mediation models, where both the outcome model and the mediator model are linear with high dimensional mediators. Traditional procedures for mediation analysis cannot be used due to high-dimensionality of the mediators. The paper introduces estimation procedures, penalized Wald test, and F-type test for indirect and direct effects, and applies them to study the mediation effects of financial metrics on stock reaction to COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary: Motivated by an empirical analysis of stock reaction to COVID-19 pandemic, the study proposes a generalized mediation model with high-dimensional potential mediators to investigate the mediation effects of financial metrics that bridge company's sector and stock value. The estimation procedure for the direct effect is established using a partial penalized maximum likelihood method, and its theoretical properties are presented. Tests for the indirect and direct effects are developed, with the former having a chi 2 limiting null distribution and the latter asymptotically following a chi 2-distribution. Simulation studies and empirical analysis of stock reaction to COVID-19 pandemic are conducted to validate the proposed procedures and explore the underlying mechanism of the relationship between companies' sectors and their stock values.

Summary: Seawater-based soybean-induced carbonate precipitation (SSICP) method was used for sandy soil improvement. Comparative bio-cementation tests showed that SSICP had better sand improvement performance compared to deionized water-based soybean-induced carbonate precipitation (SICP). The compressive strength of bio-cemented Ottawa sand blocks using SSICP reached 401.67 kPa, twice the strength of SICP bio-cemented blocks (191.62 kPa). The improved sand strength in SSICP can be attributed to the mixture of calcium carbonate and calcite magnesium produced by the SSICP process, which is more effective than calcite produced by the SICP process. The performance of carbonate precipitation and bio-cementation was better on Ottawa sand than on sea sand.

Summary: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are a potentially lower-risk tobacco product that can help smokers quit cigarettes. This study examines the relationship between increased ENDS sales and reduced cigarette sales in the USA. The findings suggest that ENDS serve as a substitute for cigarettes, leading to a decline in cigarette consumption. This supports the idea that risk-proportionate tobacco regulation could reduce the tobacco-related health burden.

Summary: This article introduces a class of network models where the likelihood of connection is influenced by high-dimensional nodal covariates and node-specific popularity. A Bayesian method is proposed for feature selection, with implementation via Gibbs sampling. To address computational challenges in large sparse networks, a working model is developed for parameter updates based on dense sub-graphs. Model selection consistency is proven for both models, even when dimension grows exponentially. Monte Carlo studies and real world examples illustrate the performance of the proposed models and estimation procedures. Supplementary materials are available online.

Summary: The dynamic evolution behavior of subsonic streamers and their voltage polarity effects were investigated. The streamer development process can be divided into two stages: bottom-up period characterized by root spherical expansion and OH emission line, and top-down period characterized by head burst expansion and emission lines of H-beta, H-alpha, and O. The magnetic pinch effect on the internal plasma distribution determines the expansion mode of the streamer, while the low capture energy of the solvated electron and local space charge accumulation contribute to the faster propagation of positive streamers at low voltage levels.

Summary: Chemsex refers to the intentional use of substances in sexualized settings among men who have sex with men. It is a growing public health issue with estimated prevalence rates of 3% to 29% in this population. Chemsex poses risks such as HIV and STI exposure, addiction, cardiovascular problems, and mental health issues. However, there is a research gap in this area, and existing theoretical concepts and therapeutic strategies for addictions and risky sexual behaviors may not be applicable to chemsex due to its unique characteristics and impact on stigmatized minorities.
