Smith, Ken R.; Mineau, Geraldine Page; Kerber, Richard A. | Effects of childhood and middle-adulthood family conditions on later-life mortality: evidence from the Utah population database, 1850-2002 | How do parents affect the health and longevity of their children? Parents can affect their children's life chances by transmitting a genetic endowment (or liability) for a long life while also providing resources and an environment that enhances (or limits) their children's longevity. Recently, m... | Growth; Death; Adolescence; Geriatrics | 2005-01-05 |

Liu, Feng | Self-organization of steps in growth of strained films on vicinal substrates | Computer simulations show that if stress is present, steps on a vicinal surface can self-organize into a regular array of step bunches. Such self-organization can provide templates for subsequent fabrication of "quantum wire" nanostructures. The size and spacing of the bunches can be controlled inde... | Self-organization; Strained films; Growth; Vicinal substrates; Step bunches | 1998-02 |

Liu, Feng | Theory of equilibrium shape of an anisotropically strained island: thermodynamic limits for growth of nanowires | Using continuum elastic theory, we show that strain anisotropy removes the shape instability existing for an isotropically strained island. An anistropically strained island has always an anisotropic shape, elongating along the less-strained direction and adopting a narrow width in the more-strain... | Strained islands; Equilibrium shape; Growth; Thermodynamic limits | 2004-11 |
