Socioeconomic status across the early life course predicts gene expression signatures of disease and senescence
BACKGROUND: Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with many chronic diseases, indicators of senescence and mortality. However, the changing salience of SES in the prediction of adult health is not well understood. Using mRNA-seq abundance data from wave V of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), we examine the extent to which SES across the early life course is related to gene expression-based signatures f…
Use of X-Ray Fluorescence Microscopy for Studies on Research Models of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Introduction: TheraSphere ® microspheres containing yttrium 90 Y are among many radioembolization agents used clinically to reduce liver tumor burden, and their effects on cancer volume reduction are well-established. At the same time, concerns about off target tissue injury often limit their use. Deeper investigation into tissue distribution and long-term impact of these microspheres could inform us about additional ways to use them in practice.…

The personae of the spiritual child
What does the spiritual child look like? The spiritual child begins life exploring the world, learning through sensory experiences and new discoveries. A protagonist and a collaborator, the spiritual child is a communicator who engages in social interactions, constructing his or her own learning, curious about the world. The purpose of this article is to explore several personae the spiritual child typically assumes, including the dramatist, natu…
Schools as Moderators of Genetic Associations with Life Course Attainments
Genetic variants identified in genome-wide association studies of educational attainment have been linked with a range of positive life course development outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether school environments may moderate these genetic associations. We analyze data from two biosocial surveys that contain both genetic data and follow students from secondary school through mid- to late life. We test if the magnitudes of the associations…
The reliability of in-home measures of height and weight in large cohort studies
BACKGROUND: With the emergence of obesity as a global health issue an increasing number of major demographic surveys are collecting measured anthropometric data. Yet little is known about the characteristics and reliability of these data. OBJECTIVES: We evaluate the accuracy and reliability of anthropometric data collected in the home during Wave IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), compare our estimat…
Teacher, I had a dream
Children’s dreams have the potential to awaken feelings, question attitudes and inspire new learning experiences to deepen awareness of spiritual development. Both guidance and spiritual environments created by nurturing educators and parents foster dreams that captivate and motivate children to increase their spiritual self-awareness, leading them to ask open-ended questions about what is real and what is make-believe. This paper offers a discus…
The Evolution of a University/Inner-City School Partnership
The factors that hindered and facilitated the development of a collaborative partnership between a university and inner-city public school are described using ethinographic and interview data sources. The main deterrents to the partnership's success included differences in the perception of project goals by university and school staff and the many unscheduled changes at the school site and with project participants. At the end of the first school…
Goethe Studies 1947-77
`Man hat ihn nun in Eis gelegt, um ihn bis Montag fruh zu erhalten,' Eckermann wrote on 23 March 1832 to Marianne von Willemer upon Goethe's death (Marianne und Johann Jakob Willemer. Briefwechsel mit Goethe, ed. Hans-J. Weitz [Frankfurt : Insel, 1965], p. 476) . Since that time scholars have developed their own means of `preserving' him. This report will accordingly concentrate on the result of their efforts over the past thirty years. It is ded…
