Two thirds of US households hold bank type credit cards, and most of them revolve high-interest card debt. Standard models cannot account for the observed co-existence of such debt with (i) substantial asset accumulation by retirement age, and (ii) substantial holdings of low-rate liquid assets. Hyperbolic discounting can resolve the former but not the second puzzle (Laibson, et al., 2000). Ber...

Recently, Cu2-δS and Cu2-δSe were reported to have an ultralow thermal conductivity and high thermoelectric figure of merit zT. Thus, as a member of the copper chalcogenide group, Cu2-δTe is expected to possess superior zTs because Te is less ionic and heavy. However, the zT value is low in the Cu2Te sintered using spark plasma sintering, which is typically used to fabricate high-density bulk s...

1 Women are exposed to estrogen in several forms such as oral contraceptive pills and 2 hormone replacement therapy. Although estrogen was believed to be cardioprotective, 3 lately, its beneficial effects are being questioned. Recent studies indicate that oxidative 4 stress in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) may play a role in the development of 5 hypertension. Therefore, we hypothesiz...

BACKGROUND: Screen time, especially television viewing, is associated with risk of overweight and obesity in children.

OBJECTIVE: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions targeting a reduction in children’s screen time. METHODS: E...

Group A rotaviruses are the main cause of acute gastroenteritis in children throughout the world. The two outer capsid proteins, VP4 and VP7, define the P and G genotypes, respectively. Rotaviruses with P[8]G1, P[4]G2, P[8]G3 and P[8]G4 genotypes are predominant in infecting humans and the G9 genotype is emerging in most continents as the fifth most common G type worldwide. The inner capsid pro...
