O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Ascertainment bias for non-twin relatives in twin proband studies | When families are ascertained through affected twins, as for example when twin probands are selected from a registry and their non-twin relatives studied, a correction for ascertainment bias is needed. It is shown that probandwise counting (where relatives of doubly ascertained twin pairs are counte... | Genetic; Transmission; Models | 1982 |

Drews, Frank; Bermudez, Julio Cesar; Agutter, James A.; Foresti, Stefano A.; Westenskow, Dwayne R.; Syroid, Noah Daniel; Tashjian, Elizabeth | Between art, science and technology: data representation architecture | As our civilization continues to dive deeper into the information age, making sense of complex data becomes critical. This work takes on this challenge by means of a novel method based on complete interdisciplinarity, design process and built-in evaluations. The result is the design, construction, ... | Data representation; Visualization design; Data environments | 2005 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Refutation of the general single locus model for the etiology of schizophrenia | All published studies on the familial incidence of schizophrenia appropriate for testing the applicability of the general single-locus two-allele model are examined under the assumption of a unitary etiology for all schizophrenia. We show that the single major locus model is inadequate to predict th... | Genetics; Diseases in Twins; Chromosome Mapping | 1982 |

Jones, Bryan W.; Jones, Christopher R.; Czajkowski, Laura | Familial advanced sleep-phase syndrome: a short-period circadian rhythmvariant in humans | Biological circadian clocks oscillate with an approximately 24-hour period, are ubiquitous, and presumably confer a selective advantage by anticipating the transitions between day and night. The circadian rhythms of sleep, melatonin secretion and body core temperature are thought to be generated by ... | Activity Cycles; Matched-Pair Analysis; Polysomnography | 1999 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Patterns of genetic variation in native America | Allele frequencies from seven polymorphic red cell antigen loci (ABO, Rh, MN, S, P, Duffy, and Diego) were examined in 144 Native American populations. Mean genetic distances (Nei's D) and the fixation index FST are approximately equal for the North and South American samples but are reduced in the... | Gene frequencies; Amerinds; Genetic Distance | 1992 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Ascertainment bias in estimates of average heterozygosity | Population geneticists work with a nonrandom sample of the human genome. Conventional practice ensures that unusually variable loci are most likely to be discovered and thus included in the sample of loci. Consequently, estimates of average heterozygosity are biased upward. In what follows we descri... | Bias (Epidemiology); Biometry; Heterozygote | 1996-05 |

O'Rourke, Dennis H. | Biochemical heterozygosity and morphologic variation in a colony of papio hamadryas hamadryas baboons | This analysis examines the association between genetic heterozygosity and individual morphologic variation in a captive population of Papio hamadryas hamadryas consisting of 403 juveniles and adults. The population structure of the colony was artificially generated and maintained and is thus rigoro... | Population genetics; Polygenic; Inbreeding | 1994 |

Florsheim, Paul W.; Ngu, Le | Differential outcomes among adolescent fathers: understanding fatherhood as a transformative process | In response to the rising numbers of mother headed households, there is a great debate about whether to encourage young unwed parents to marry. Policies designed to pursue and/or punish fathers who do not meet their legal and financial responsibilities and to promote marriage, carte blanche, are ref... | Parenting; Gender; Matrimony | 2003-10-18 |

Francis, Leslie | Penn Central Transportation Company v. New York City: easy taking-clause cases make uncertain Law. | In Penn Central Transportation Company v. New York City, the Supreme Court held that New York City's Landmarks Preservation Law as applied to Grand Central Terminal was not a "taking" of property for which compensation is constitutionally required. The decision has been hailed as a major victory for... | Law; Compensation; Property Rights; Landmarks Preservation Law; Supreme Court Rulings | 2006-06-16 |

Waitzman, Norman J. | Half-life of cost-of-illness estimates: the case of Spina Bifida | Neural tube defects, which include spina bifida, are one of the most frequent and important categories of birth defects. Accordingly, there has been considerable interest in studying the impact of spina bifida as a public health problem. This impact can be measured in various ways, including dise... | Spinal cord; Birth defect; Healthcare costs | 2004-10-12 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Origins and affinities of modern humans: a comparison of mitochondrial and nuclear genetic data | To test hypotheses about the origin of modern humans, we analyzed mtDNA sequences, 30 nuclear restriction-site polymorphisms (RSPs), and 30 tetranucleotide short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms in 243 Africans, Asians, and Europeans. An evolutionary tree based on mtDNA displays deep African branch... | Base Sequence; Variation (Genetics); Base Sequence | 1995 |

Caserta, Michael; Lund, Dale A. | Toward the development of an inventory of daily widowed life (IDWL): guided by the duel process model of coping with bereavement | The Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement (Stroebe & Schut, 1999) suggests that the most effective adaptation involves oscillaton between two coping processes: loss-orientation (LO) and restoration-orientation (RO). A 22-item Inventory of Daily Widowed Life (IDWL) was developed to measure t... | Bereavement; Grief reaction; Widowhood; Psychological orientation; Adaptation, Psychological | 2007-07 |

Francis, Leslie | Roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients | This article is about the roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients. It argues that complex moral reasons call for the participation of families in decision making for incompetents. However, these moral reasons do not support a single model of the family's role for... | Family; Health Care Decisions; Patients; Family Rights | 2006-06-16 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic variation at the MCIR Locus and the time since loss of human body hair | The melanocortin I receptor (MCIR) locus makes a protein that affects the color of skin and hair.

Francis, Leslie | Justice through trust: disability and the Outlier problem in Social Contract Theory | The article focuses on the flaws of the social contract theory. It explores how hostile the social contract as a bargaining process has been thought to distance disabled people from contract-based justice.

Francis, Leslie | Eminent domain compensation in the Western states: a critique of the fair market value model | Both the United States Constitution and the constitutions of the states of the intermountain west and the Pacific Coast prohibit the state from taking property without paying just compensation. Thus, there are two basic issues in any eminent domain case. First, has governmental interference with pro... | Eminent domain; Compensation; Governmental interference; Fair Market Value | 2006-06-16 |
