This research investigated participation rates in 3 modes of active commuting (AC) and their sociodemographic and physical environmental correlates in rural America. Methods. The 2000 Census supplemented with other datasets were used to analyze AC rates in percentage of workers walking, bik... | | 2014-01-01 |

Von Arnim, Rudiger Lennart | Rebalancing through expenditure and price changes | This paper puts forth a Neo-Kaleckian open economy model of two countries in order to investigate adjustment of US-China external imbalances. First, a stylized fixed mark-up model is presented, and discussed based on graphical analysis. Second, we present estimates of bilateral income and price elas... | | 2012-12-01 |

Forster, Richard R. | Explaining the presence of perennial liquid water bodies in the firn of the Greenland Ice Sheet | Recent observations have shown that the firn layer on the Greenland Ice Sheet features subsurface bodies of liquid water at the end of the winter season. Using a model with basic firn hydrology, thermodynamics, and compaction in one dimension, we find that a combination of moderate to strong surface... | | 2014-01-01 |

Rogers, Alan R. | The molecular clock | The molecular clock uses evolutionary changes in proteins and DNA to measure the passage of time. Yet molecular evolution is clocklike only to a first approximation. Uncertainties arise because of variation in rates of molecular evolution, because of difficulty in calibrating clocks, and because we ... | | 2013-01-01 |

Brown, Barbara B. | Physical activity mediates the relationship between perceived crime safety and obesity | Objective. The current cross-sectional study tests whether low perceived crime safety is associated with body mass index (BMI) and obesity risk and whether less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) accounts for part of this relationship. Method. Adults (n=864) from a relatively low-income a... | | 2014-01-01 |

Li, Minqi | Chinas grain production: a decade of consecutive growth or stagnation? | Some progressive writers have argued that while China's agricultural privatization achieved short-term gains, it did so by undermining longterm production facilities such as the infrastructure and public services built in the socialist era.1 Environmental scholars have questioned the sustainability ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Genetic relatedness to sisters children has been underestimated | Males of many species help in the care and provisioning of offspring, and these investments often correlate with genetic relatedness. For example, many human males invest in the children of sisters, and this is especially so where men are less likely to share genes with children of wives. Although t... | | 2013-01-01 |

Fowles, Richard | Understanding the cell phone effect on vehicle fatalities: a Bayesian view | This article examines the potential effect of various factors on motor vehicle fatality rates using a rich set of panel data and classical regression analysis combined with Bayesian Extreme Bounds Analysis, Bayesian Model Averaging and Stochastic Search Variable Selection procedures. The variables e... | | 2012-01-01 |

Forster, Richard R. | Summer melt regulates winter glacier flow speeds throughout Alaska | Predicting how climate change will affect glacier and ice sheet flow speeds remains a large hurdle toward accurate sea level rise forecasting. Increases in surface melt rates are known to accelerate glacier flow in summer, whereas in winter, flow speeds are believed to be relatively invariant. Here ... | | 2013-01-01 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Measuring the effect of Bi-directional migration remittances on poverty and inequality in Nicaragua | This paper examines the impact of migrants' remittances on poverty and income distribution in Nicaragua. Nicaraguan emigrants are fairly evenly distributed between the United States and Costa Rica. Poorer migrants overwhelmingly migrate to Costa Rica; richer migrants favor the United States. This bi... | | 2011-01-01 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Occupation and fertility on the frontier: Evidence from the state of Utah | BACKGROUND Most of what we know about fertility decline in the United States comes from aggregate (often state or county level) data sources. It is difficult to identify variation in fertility change across socio-economic classes in such data, although understanding such variation would provide deep... | | 2014-01-01 |

Wen, Ming | Physical activity and mortality among middle-aged and older adults in the United States | Background-Physical activity (PA) has been routinely linked to lower all-cause mortality, yet extant research in the United States is primarily based on non-representative samples. Evidence is scant on the relative and independent merits of leisure-time (LTPA) versus non-leisure-time (NLTPA) activit... | | 2014-01-01 |

Von Arnim, Rudiger Lennart | Redistribution in a neo-Kaleckian two-country model | We investigate the interaction between demand-driven growth and income distribution in open economies, by combining expenditure-switching and demand spillover effects in a neo-Kaleckian two country model. First, we specify elasticities of wage share and real exchange rate to the money wage relative ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Utz, Rebecca L. | Grief, depressive symptoms, and physical health among recently bereaved spouses | Purpose of Study: Widowhood is among the most distressing of all life events, resulting in both mental and physical health declines. This paper explores the dynamic relationship between physical health and psychological well-being among recently bereaved spouses. Design and Method: Using a sample of... | | 2012-01-01 |

Utz, Rebecca L. | Walking the dog: the effect of pet ownership on human health and health behaviors | This analysis explores whether pet owners have better physical health outcomes, and if so, whether the positive physical health benefits are explained by better health behaviors that result from having to take care of the pet's physical needs. Data come from the National Health and Nutrition Examina... | | 2014-01-01 |

Wen, Ming | Neighborhood socioeconomic status and BMI differences by immigrant and legal status: Evidence from Utah | We build on recent work examining the BMI patterns of immigrants in the US by distinguishing between legal and undocumented immigrants. We find that undocumented women have relative odds of obesity that are about 10 percentage points higher than for legal immigrant women, and their relative odds of ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Smith, Timothy W. | Cellular aging and restorative processes: Subjective sleep quality and duration moderate the association between age and telomere length in a sample of middle-aged and older adults | Study Objectives: To examine whether subjective sleep quality and sleep duration moderate the association between age and telomere length (TL). Design: Participants completed a demographic and sleep quality questionnaire, followed by a blood draw. Setting: Social Neuroscience Laboratory. Participant... | | 2014-01-01 |

Wen, Ming | Correlates of leisure-time physical activity participation among Latino children and adolescents with acanthosis nigricans | Childhood obesity has become a serious public health concern in the United States. The prevalence rates of childhood obesity largely increased in the 1980s and 1990s and remained persistently high between 1999-2000 and 2007-2008 in the United States [20]. The highest extreme obesity prevalence rate,... | | 2014-01-01 |

Zick, Cathleen D. | Family, frailty, and fatal futures? Own-health and family-health predictors of subjective life expectancy | Subjective life expectancy is a powerful predictor of a variety of health and economic behaviors. This research expands upon the life expectancy literature by examining the influence of familial health histories. Using a genetic/environmental model, we hypothesize that individuals' assessments of th... | | 2014-01-01 |

Harpending, Henry C. | Paternal age and genetic load | The incidence of base substitutions in humans increases with the age of the father, which shows up as an increased incidence of mutational disorders in the children of older fathers. There is a less obvious implication: an extended period of high average paternal age in a population will lead to inc... | | 2013-01-01 |
