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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 effect of gender and marital status on financial risk tolerance [abstract]
(2004)
Abstract only. Abstract: This study investigates the effects of marital status and gender on financial risk tolerance and provides implications for financial advice and education. Ho, Milevsky, and Robinson (1994) suggested ...
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). ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development and characterization of fluorescent dye-doped nanoparticles with enhanced fluorescence intensity and photostability [abstract]
(2010)
We report the development of fluorescent dye doped organosilicate nanoparticles (DOSNPs) synthesized from poly-methylsilsesquioxane(PMSSQ), resulting in high fluorescence intensity and excellent photostability. The surface ...
Multifunctional contrast agenst for molecular imaging of prostate cancer [abstract]
(2010-03)
Development of efficacious receptor-targeting contrast agents is particularly important for early detection of prostate cancers. When using non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for molecular imaging, sensitivity ...
Next generation tyrosine-mutant AAV8 shows high mouse corneal endothelial transduction in vivo [abstract]
(2010-03)
Purpose: Recently, point mutations in surface-exposed tyrosine residues have been shown to increase AAV transduction significantly. We examined the efficacy of conventional AAV8 and next generation tyrosine-mutant AAV8 ...
Longevity perceptions in patients who have had their kidney transplant for 25 years or longer [abstract]
(2010-03)
Survival of a renal transplant beyond 25 years is a relatively rare event with median length of graft survival 11 years. Numerous outcomes, but no studies have described longevity perceptions of individuals who have had ...
