Theoretical landscape in condensed matter nuclear science consistent with phonon theory
(University of Missouri, 2013)
Since the initial report of anomalies in PdD by Fleischmann and Pons back in 1989, a variety of anomalies have been seen in experiments of all kinds over the years. Although there is not agreement within our field as to ...
Radiation coupling : nuclear protons to deep-orbit-electrons, then to the lattice
(University of Missouri, 2013)
The deep-Dirac level (DDL) electron orbits have been proposed, and rejected, for over 50 years. The rejections have been based on mathematical considerations resulting from the singular Coulomb potential used in the Dirac ...
Anomalous heat induced by deuterium flux in a bunch of long-thin palladium tubes using PID method for calorimetry
(University of Missouri, 2013)
In 15-year continuous experiments, gas-loading deuterium-palladium system has evolved from a long-thin palladium wire to a bunch of long-thin palladium tubes. Calorimetric analysis has evolved from high precision Seebeck ...
The possible reasons of external X-ray radiation of LENR installations
(University of Missouri, 2013)
In numerous experimental LENR-related works were presented the results of investigation of hard electromagnetic radiation emitted from working chamber when palladium or nickel samples were exposed to deuterium and hydrogen. ...
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 ...
Obesity prevention and control strategies in Latin American and United States Latino populations [Abstract]

Abstract of a paper presented at the International Conference and Exhibition on Obesity & Weight Management, 2012: Latinos are the largest and fastest growing ethnically diverse group in the U.S.; they are also the most ...
Effect of information technology and informatics on the treatment and control of type 2 diabetes [Abstract]
(2017)
Abstract of a paper presented at the 16th Global Diabetes Conference & Medicare Expo, 2017: Diabetes is the fourth cause of death in the United States. Both IT and HI have been applied in the management of diabetes but ...
Web-based applications for prioritizing health : a case study of 27 capital cities in Brazil 2006-2012 [Abstract]
(2015)
Abstract of a paper presented at the 2nd Health International Conference on Health Informatics and Technology, 2015: Introduction: Because public health funds are limited, programs need to be prioritized. We developed two ...
Biotechnology and demand concerns : the case of genetically modified US sugar beets
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2020)
While genetically modified (GM) crops have provided significant agricultural productivity gains in recent years, some consumers oppose GM products as being unsafe. We use the case of GM sugar beets and their recent adoption ...
An economic account of innovation policy in Canada : a comparison of canola, wheat, and pulses
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2020)
There is significant evidence that investments in agricultural research generate gains to farmers and the economy as a whole. The objective of this paper is to provide an assessment of the biotech industry in Canada including ...
Glyphosate use in Asia and implications of possible restrictions on its use
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2020)
