Walking in Old Age and Development of Metabolic Syndrome: The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study

Peterson, Matthew J.; Morey, Miriam C.; Pieper, Carl (MARY ANN LIEBERT INC, 2010)

Background: The specific health benefits of meeting physical activity guidelines are unclear in older adults. We examined the association between meeting, not meeting, or change in status of meeting physical activity ...

Water content of ambient aerosol during the Pittsburgh air quality study

Khlystov, A; Stanier, CO; Takahama, S; Pandis, SN (2005)

The aerosol water content and volumetric growth factors of fine particulate matter were measured during July-August 2001 and January-June 2002 in an urban park about 6 km from downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Most of the ...
Water exchange rates of water-soluble manganese(III) porphyrins of therapeutical potential

Batinic-Haberle, Ines (ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2010)

The activation parameters and the rate constants of the water-exchange reactions of (MnTE)-T-III-2-PyP5+ (meso-tetrakis(N-ethylpyridinium-2-yl) porphyrin) as cationic, Mn(III)TnHex-2-PyP5+ (meso-tetrakis(N-n-hexylpyridinium-2-yl) ...
Waveguide QED: Many-body bound-state effects in coherent and Fock-state scattering from a two-level system

Zheng, Huaixiu; Gauthier, Daniel J.; Baranger, Harold U. (Physical Review A, 2010-12-14)

Strong coupling between a two-level system (TLS) and bosonic modes produces dramatic quantum optics effects. We consider a one-dimensional continuum of bosons coupled to a single localized TLS, a system which may be realized ...
Weaker Criteria and Tests for Linear Restrictions in Regression

Wallace, Dudley (Econometrica, 1972)

The standard F test for linear restrictions in regression is relevant as a criterion but fails to capture the notion of tradeoff between bias and variance. Average squared distance criteria yield operational tests that are ...
Weaker MSE Criteria and Tests for Linear Restrictions in Regression Models with Nonspherical Disturbances

McElroy, Marjorie (Journal of Econometrics, 1977)

This paper extends, in an asymptotic sense, the strong and the weaker mean square error criteria and corresponding tests to linear models with non-spherical disturbances where the error covariance matrix is unknown but ...
Weave Tile Architecture Construction Strategy for DNA Nanotechnology

Rangnekar, Abhijit; Carter, Joshua; Labean, Thomas (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2010)

Architectural designs for DNA nanostructures typically fall within one of two broad categories: tile-based designs (assembled from chemically synthesized oligonucleotides) and origami designs (woven structures employing a ...
Weighted and Two-Stage Least Squares Estimation of Semiparametric Truncated Regression Models

Khan, Prof Shakeeb; Lewbel, Arthur (Econometric Theory, 2007)

This paper provides a root-n consistent, asymptotically normal weighted least squares estimator of the coefficients in a truncated regression model+ The distribution of the errors is unknown and permits general forms of ...
What Can Be (and What Has Been) Learned from General Equilibrium Simulation Models of School Finance?

Nechyba, Thomas (2003)

Synthesizes lessons from school finance research that employs computational structural models to investigate different policy proposals. Suggests that full equilibrium analysis may lead to outcomes that differ from those ...
Whatever Happened To "You"? - A Poetic Odyssey

Strandberg, Victor; Clark, William Bedford; Grimshaw, Jr., James A. (THE CENTER FOR ROBERT PENN WARREN STUDIES Western Kentucky University, 2001)
What Leads Indians to Participate in Clinical Trials? A Meta-Analysis of Qualitative Studies

Shah, Jatin; Rajgor, Dimple; Pradhan, Shreyasee; Pietrobon, Ricardo (PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2010)

Background: With the globalization of clinical trials, large developing nations have substantially increased their participation in multi-site studies. This participation has raised ethical concerns, among them the fear ...
What Makes Them Tick? Employee Motives and Firm Innovation

Cohen, Wesley (INFORMS, 2010)

Economists studying innovation and technological change have made significant progress toward understanding firms' profit incentives as drivers of innovation. However, innovative performance in firms should also depend ...
What's the big deal about oil? How we can get oil policy right

Newell, R (2007)
When 7 transmembrane receptors are not G protein–coupled receptors

Rajagopal, Keshava; Lefkowitz, Robert J.; Rockman, Howard Allan (American Society for Clinical Investigation, 2005-11)

Classically, 7 transmembrane receptors transduce extracellular signals by coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins, although recent in vitro studies have clearly demonstrated that they can also signal via G protein–independent ...
