The absent presence of disability in British higher education
Rates of disability disclosure are steadily increasing in British higher education (HE), with 18% of the student population having a known disability in 2023/24. It might be assumed that progress is being made with increased representation, rights and support for disabled students. However, drawing on interviews with staff who lead disability support services across a range of British HE institutions (HEIs), we find that disability remains an ‘ab…

High‐tech industry encompasses technology‐driven manufacturing and services, playing a critical role in global/regional economic restructuring and producing distinct geographical patterns. Over time, these industries have acted as catalysts for job creation and regional growth in the era of globalization. They have, however, also been associated with labor market polarization, inequality, and insecurity of low‐wage jobs within neoliberal economic…

No Differences in Wound Healing and Scar Formation Were Observed in Patients With Different Covid-19 Vaccination Intervals
Background: Safety concerns are one of the most common reasons for COVID-19 vaccination refusal. In the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, whether COVID-19 vaccination influences wound healing and scar formation is worthy of special attention. Methods: In this study, patients with adult trauma with subcutaneous sutures placed by a single plastic surgeon in a single center were included. The vaccination interval was defined as the interv…

Speech Rate Adjustments in Conversations With an Amazon Alexa Socialbot
This paper investigates users’ speech rate adjustments during conversations with an Amazon Alexa socialbot in response to situational (in-lab vs. at-home) and communicative (ASR comprehension errors) factors. We collected user interaction studies and measured speech rate at each turn in the conversation and in baseline productions (collected prior to the interaction). Overall, we find that users slow their speech rate when talking to the bot, rel…

Language processing in normal aging: Contributions of information-universal and information-specific factors
Language is a complex lifelong faculty supported by the general cognitive system as well as the dynamic interactions between comprehension and production processes within the language system. Studies reported that while normal aging impairs important aspects of language production, most core processes of comprehension are robust. However, accumulating evidence suggests a decline in comprehension when comparing older adults with young ones. Thus i…
Syntactic structure and verb overlap influence the syntactic priming effect in Mandarin spoken sentence production
In sentence production, syntactic priming effect refers to a phenomenon that speakers or writers tend to reuse syntactic structures that they have recently processed, and the repeated syntactic structures elicit shorter sentence production latencies than the novel ones. Different theories have been proposed to account for the syntactic priming effect. Among them, both the Residual Activation Theory and the Implicit Learning Theory aim to address …

Amenity, accessibility and housing values in metropolitan USA: A study of Salt Lake County, Utah
Immigrant Housing in the U nited S tates
In the United States, immigrants, or the foreign‐born, are a large driver of US population growth and vital to the housing market. Many declining cities need newcomers to sustain the population and the housing market. Baby Boomers are retiring and will eventually need newcomers to replace them in the housing market. Recent immigrants, mostly from Asia and Latin America, are socioeconomically diverse and demographically different from US‐born resi…
Caught in the Housing Bubble: Immigrants’ Housing Outcomes in Traditional Gateways and Newly Emerging Destinations
Research has documented that immigrants have moved in large numbers to almost every metropolitan area and select rural areas in the US. In the midst of these demographic shifts, the country has experienced a profound recession. To date, there has been little research on the impact of the recession on immigrants across the US. Using 2006 and 2009 American Community Survey microdata, the paper assesses how the recent economic crisis has affected La…
Cohort progress toward household formation and homeownership: Young immigrant cohorts in Los Angeles and Toronto compared
As immigrants adapt to their new country, they experience both increased access to homeownership and an increase in independent household formation. This paper examines residential assimilation, as measured by homeownership and household formation, among five young immigrant cohorts in Los Angeles and Toronto over a five-year period in the early 2000s. Results show that while differences between groups are evident already at the beginning of the …
Immigrants and Housing Markets in Mid-Size Metropolitan Areas
The recent trend of immigrants arriving in mid-size metropolitan areas has received growing attention in the literature. This study examines the success of immigrants in the housing markets of a sample of 60 metropolitan areas using Census microdata in both 2000 and 2005. The results suggest that immigrants are less successful in achieving homeownership and more likely to live in overcrowded conditions than native-born whites of non-Hispanic orig…
Heterogeneity in Asian American Home-ownership: The Impact of Household Endowments and Immigrant Status
Recently, research has begun to investigate the reasons for differences in homeownership rates between Asians and Whites. This paper extends this research by examining the heterogeneity that exists across Asian groups in the US. We find that there are important differences across geographical area, across time and across groups in the importance of various factors that influence the likelihood of owning a home. After controlling for household mob…

A Different Path to Homeownership: The Case of Taiwanese Immigrants in Los Angeles
Taiwanese immigrants in Los Angeles stand in contrast to the well-documented homeownership deficit among immigrants. Despite the tremendous growth in Taiwanese immigrants during the 1980s, the Taiwanese homeownership rate was not only among the highest of all ethnic groups in 1990, but also recorded a phenomenal increase of 16 percentage points between 1980 and 1990. This paper examines this trend and assesses the contributing factors. It reveals…
