 | Adler, Frederick R. | Alternating host cell tropism shapes the persistence, evolution and coexistence of Epstein-Barr virus infections in human | Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects and can persist in a majority of people worldwide. Within an infected host, EBV targets two major cell types, B cells and epithelial cells, and viruses emerging from one cell type preferentially infect the other. We use mathematical models to understand why EBV infec... | | 2010 |

 | Adler, Frederick R. | Effects of intraspecific density-dependence on species richness and species abundance distributions | Abstract Species richness and patterns of abundance result from the interplay between niche differences, realized as intraspecific density-dependence (IDD), and so-called neutral processes that arise when species fitnesses are similar. This paper presents an extension of neutral models that incorpo... | | 2010 |

 | Hillman, Nicholas W | Preparing for the silver tsunami: the demand for higher education among older adults | (Over the next decade, Baby Boomers will be reaching retirement age in large numbers and the U.S. will be undergoing one of the most significant demographic shifts in its history. This demographic shift has important implications for the role of higher education as a provider of lifelong learning an... | | 2010 |

 | Hillman, Nicholas W | Tuition discounting for revenue management | Over the past decade, institutionally-funded financial aid (or "tuition discounts") have been the fastest-growing item within most public four-year college and university operating budgets. One explanation for this trend is due to the changing structure of public colleges' revenue streams, as tuitio... | | 2010 |

 | Battin, Margaret P. | Irony of supporting physician-assisted suicide: a personal account | Under other circumstances, I would have written an academic paper rehearsing the arguments for and against legalization of physician-assisted suicide: autonomy and the avoidance of pain and suffering on the pro side, the wrongness of killing, the integrity of the medical profession, and the risk of... | | 2010-08 |

 | Gerig, Guido | Image registration driven by combined probabilistic and geometric descriptors | Deformable image registration in the presence of considerable contrast dierences and large-scale size and shape changes represents a signicant challenge for image registration. A representative driving application is the study of early brain development in neuroimaging, which requires co-registratio... | | 2010-01-01 |
