Zimmer, Zachary | Reciprocal effects of health and economic well-being among older adults in Taiwan and Beijing | The objectives of this study are threefold: 1) to examine whether socioeconomic status disparities in health are found in non-Western settings; 2) to assess whether socioeconomic status gradients in health endure into older ages; and 3) to evaluate the direction of causality between health and soci... | Well-being; Health | 2005 |

Yu, Zhou | Regional disparities in homeownership trajectories: impacts of affordability, new construction, and immigration | In contrast to the 1980s, we find substantial increases in the homeownership rates of young adults in the 1990s. Focusing on the younger half of the baby boom generation, aged 35 to 44 in 2000, we explore the factors that caused steeper trajectories into homeownership in some ... | Demographics; Homeownership; Immigration | 2005 |

Potts, Wayne K. | Relationship of virulence factor expression to evolved virulence in mouse-passaged Cryptococcus neoformans lines | Serial passage of Cryptococcus neoformans in mice increases virulence relative to the nonpassaged line. Postpassaged lines showed no difference in the expression of most known virulence factors, with the exception that the more virulent lines had smaller capsules in vitro. These data imply that othe... | Capsule; Death; Passage | 2005 |

Caserta, Michael; Lund, Dale A.; Wright, Scott D. | Respite services: enhancing the quality of daily life for caregivers and persons with dementia | Many family caregivers are going far beyond their abilities and circumstances trying to be the best possible caregivers. This is a very commendable goal. Unfortunately, many of these caregivers are risking their own personal well-being and sometimes their family life in the process. Many caregivers... | 2005 | |

Baehr, Wolfgang | Retinoid absorption and storage is impaired in mice lacking lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) | Lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) is believed to be the predominant if not the sole enzyme in the body responsible for the physiologic esterification of retinol. We have studied Lrat-deficient (Lrat-/-) mice to gain a better understanding of how these mice take up and store dietary retinoids a... | Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Mice, Transgenic; Tissue Distribution | 2005 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Review: Race, liberalism, and economics | Choose any two of these three topics: race, liberalism, and economics. Now trace the connections between the two that you have chosen over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, incorporating both fundamental philosophical concepts and policy implications. Doing this could easily prod... | Racism; Classical liberalism; Paternalism | 2005 |

Li, Minqi | Rise of China and the demise of the capitalist world-economy: exploring the historical possibilities in the 21st century | China's rising importance in the capitalist world economy raises questions of world-historic significance. How is China's internal social structure likely to evolve as China assumes different positions in the existing world system? Will China's current regime of accumulation survive the potential pr... | World economy; China; Economic development | 2005 |

Baehr, Wolfgang | Role of photoreceptor-specific retinol dehyrogenase (prRDH) in the retinoid cycle in vivo | The retinoid cycle is a recycling system that replenishes the 11-cis-retinal chromophore of rhodopsin and cone pigments. Photoreceptor-specific retinol dehydrogenase (prRDH) catalyzes reduction of all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol and is thought to be a key enzyme in the retinoid cycle. We d... | Rhodopsin, Photoreceptors; prRDH (RDH8); All-trans-RDH; A2E; Retinoid cycle; Dark adaptation | 2005 |

Brunvand, Erik L. | Self-timed circuits using DCVSL semi-bundled delay wrappers | We present a technique for generating robust self-timed completion signals for general dynamic datapath circuits. The wrapper circuit is based on our previous domino semi-bundled delay (SBD) circuits, but uses DCVSL circuits in the wrapper for higher performance. We describe the basic SBD-DCVSL... | 2005 | |

Miller, Jan D. | Significance of electrokinetic characterization for interpreting interfacial phenomena at planar, macroscopic interfaces | Streaming potential measurements provide valuable information for the validation and interpretation of interfacial phenomena that occur at flat macroscopic surfaces. Planar substrates have been extensively used for the interpretation of events, which occur at particulate surfaces; however, these fla... | Interfacial phenomena; Surface charge | 2005 |

Williams, Clayton C. | Single-electron manipulation to and from a SiO2 surface by electrostatic force microscopy | Occupation of individual electron states near the surface of a SiO2 film is controlled by reversible single-electron tunneling to or from a metallic electrostatic force microscope probe. By switching the polarity of an applied dc bias between the probe and the sample to adjust the Fermi energy of ... | 2005 | |

Smith, Philip J. | Soot in combustion simulations | Soot is the dominant source of radiative heat transfer from most practical flames. A review is presented of historical, empirical modelling approaches for estimating heat flux from fires and flames. These historical methods have drawn on empiricism to address the role of soot while seeking methods f... | Large eddy simulation; LES; Combustion simulation; Radiative heat transfer; Pool fires | 2005 |

Normann, Richard A. | Statistical encoding model for a primary motor cortical brain-computer interface | A number of studies of the motor system suggest that the majority of primary motor cortical neurons represent simple movement-related kinematic and dynamic quantities in their time-varying activity patterns.
