Wolfinger, Nicholas H. | Thanks for nothing: changes in income and labor force participation for never-married mothers since 1982 | This study examines whether the changing social and economic characteristics of women who give birth out of wedlock have led to higher family incomes. Using Current Population Survey data collected between 1982 and 2002, we find that never-married mothers remain poor. They have made modest econom... | Motherhood; Single Mothers; Income; Population surveys | 2006-07-26 |

Berg, Cynthia A. | An interpersonal analysis of subjective social status and psychosocial risk | Subjective social status (SSS) predicts health independently of traditional measures of socio-economic status (SES; Adler et al., 2008; Cohen et al., 2008). Although interpersonal variables are known to be related to both SES and health (Gallo, Smith, & Cox, 2006) and might contribute to their assoc... | 2011-01-01 | |

Bastiani, Michael | Loss of axons in the cat optic nerve following fetal unilateral enucleation: an electron microscopic analysis | Between the 48th day of gestation (E-48) and maturity, the number of axons in the cat optic nerve is reduced by approximately 50%. On the basis of an electron microscopic assay, the axon population of the E-48 nerve was estimated to be 328,000. In contrast, estimates from two normal adults were 159,... | Ganglion cell death; Retinofugal projection; Retinal ganglion cell axons | 1983 |

Camp, Nicola J. | Genome-wide linkage analysis for aggressive prostate cancer in Utah high risk pedigrees | Research has consistently shown that genetics plays a critical role in prostate cancer (CaP) development, but the identification of CaP genes has proven to be very difficult. Hereditary prostate cancer is a complex disease involving numerous genes and variable phenotypic expression. This heterogene... | Linkage analysis; Aggressive prostate cancer; CaP genes; ICPCG; Utah; Trapeze Interactive Poster | 2009 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Evolution of time preference by natural selection | This paper entertains the hypothesis that human time preferences are in evolutionary equilibrium (i.e. that no mutation changing time preferences could be favored by natural selection). This hypothesis implies that the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) holding Darwinian fitness constant must equal... | Capitalism; Econometric models; Equilibrium | 1994-06 |

LaStayo, Paul C. | Resistance exercise with older fallers: Its impact on intermuscular adipose tissue | Objective. Greater skeletal muscle fat infiltration occurs with age and contributes to numerous negative health outcomes. The primary purpose was to determine whether intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) can be influenced by an exercise intervention and if a greater reduction in IMAT occurs with ecce... | 2014-01-01 | |

Smith, Ken R.; Zick, Cathleen D. | Risk of mortality following widowhood: age and sex differences by mode of death | This study examines how spouses' deaths from sudden or lengthy illnesses differentially affect the mortality risks of surviving widows and widowers by age. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find the mortality risk differs by gender, age, and type of widowhood. For nonelderly ( < 65) wido... | Risk of mortality; Widowhood; Sex differences; Role theory | 1996 |
