Defined contribution plan deferral : what are participants doing?
(2013)
Abstract only. Abstract: Using the 2004, 2007 and 2010 Survey of Consumer Finances, this study examines the trend of defined contribution (DC) retirement plan deferral over time. "Buy low and sell high" is an incredibly ...
Glass is a viable substrate for atomic force microscopy of membrane proteins : [abstract]
(2014)
Abstract in program book: Since its invention in the mid-1980s, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become an invaluable complementary tool for studying membrane proteins in near-native environments. Historically, mica ...
The impact of financial planning on portfolio performance
(2014)
Abstract only. Nowadays, individuals and households are increasingly responsible for their own wealth accumulation and preservation while the financial market are growing with complexity (Ho, Palacios, and Stoll 2012). ...
Debt holding and burden by family structure : patterns and trends in 1989-2007
(2011)
Abstract only. Abstract: Financial deregulation started in the 1980s provided families both economic opportunities and risks. Rapidly increased mortgage, credit card and other debts are out of control among many families ...
Glass is a viable substrate for atomic force microscopy of membrane proteins : abstract submitted for the PSF13 Meeting of the American Physical Society
(2013)
Abstract submitted for the PSF13 Meeting of The American Physical Society: Since its invention in the mid-1980s, the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become an invaluable complementary tool for studying membrane proteins ...
Glass : a multi-platform specimen supporting substrate for precision single molecule studies of membrane proteins : [abstract]
(2015)
Abstract in program book: High resolution (~ 1 nm lateral resolution) biological AFM imaging has been carried out almost exclusively using freshly cleaved mica as a specimen supporting surface, but mica suffers from a ...
Development and utility of the online priority health index [Abstract]
(2016)
Abstract of a paper presented at the 4th International Conference on Medical Informatics & Telehealth, 2016: Because public health funds are limited we created the priority health Indices (PHIs) for diseases (PHI-DZ) and ...
Buying high? : The house money effect on DC plan stock investment
(2016)
Abstract only. As more and more employees are eligible for defined contribution (DC) plans as versus defined benefit (DB) plans, they have to shoulder the responsibility to manage their plan assets in order to achieve the ...
The role of market returns in retirement decision-making
(2012)
Abstract only. Abstract: This study utilizes nine interview waves of the Health and Retirement Study and a multilevel discrete-time survival analysis to investigate the effect of market returns on individual elective ...
Does risk tolerance change in response to market changes?
(2010)
Abstract only. Abstract: This study used the 1992-2006 waves of the Health and Retirement Study to investigate changes in risk tolerance levels over time in response to stock market returns. Findings indicate that risk ...
Behavior perspectives on making investment mistakes
(2015)
Abstract only. Abstract: Classic economics theory assumes individual are completely informed and rational when making decisions. However, in reality, decision makers go through both a rational and an emotional process in ...
Heat generation from hydrogen/deuterium pressurization of nanoparticles : composition and temperature effect on heat output
(University of Missouri, 2013)
Research in support of small distributed LENR power units is reported. Findings will be discussed from studies of heat generation resulting from pressurization of various nanoparticles with either hydrogen or deuterium, ...
Empirical evidence for two distinct effects : low-level d-d fusion in metals and anomalous excess heat
(University of Missouri, 2013)
There are at least two distinct phenomena present in so-called cold-fusion experiments. First, there is a confirmed effect showing energetic products of d-d fusion (e.g., neutrons and tritons) in metals at low levels. This ...
Simulation of the formation of craters in LENR cathode materials
(University of Missouri, 2013)
Many electrochemical Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR) experiments have resulted in the observations of micro-craters in the surfaces of the cathode metals (Pd, Au and others). Such craters are not known to form in ...
Patenting cold fusion inventions before the US Patent and Trademark Office
(University of Missouri, 2013)
The United States Patent Office - US PTO has developed a reputation for refusing applications directed to "Cold Fusion" technology. Past practices of the US PTO, which will be reviewed based on a published employee grievance ...
Analysis of compressional mode excitation in an air capacitor configuration for a controlled Karabut experiment
(University of Missouri, 2013)
Karabut has reported the observation of collimated x-rays near 1.5 keV from an experiment done in a high-current glow discharge, which is a result that we consider to be one of the most important in the field of condensed ...
Born-Oppenheimer and fixed basis models for vibrations in a metal lattice and phonon fluctuations
(University of Missouri, 2013)
Last year we presented results on a model for Karabut's collimated x-rays which seemed to give good agreement with experiment. When writing up the model for publication, we found an error, which forced us to pursue a ...
The progress of Celani's experiment replication project in China
(University of Missouri, 2013)
Francesco Celani demonstrated his LENR device using H2 gas and a specially treated constantan wire during the NIWeek 2012 and ICCF-17, showing a peak excess heat power of about 20W at an input power of 48W. Since then, a ...
Theoretical study on the nuclear reactions in solids by calculating quantum states of the system including two species of charged bosons in ion traps
(University of Missouri, 2013)
[SEE DIACRITIC] We can estimate the nuclear reactions in solids by solving the problems of the charged bosons trapped in the crystal. They are approximately characterized by the harmonic potential around the trapped site ...
Quantum nucleodynamics (QND) : the theory underlying the lattice simulation of LENR transmutations
(University of Missouri, 2013)
In the first half of the 20th century, a quantitative explanation of atomic structure (quantum electrodynamics, (QED), was created based on the known Coulomb force and a wave-equation, where integral quantum numbers are ...
