Our aim is to confirm the nature of the long period radial velocity measurements for β Gem first found by Hatzes & Cochran (1993). We present precise stellar radial velocity measurements for the K giant star β Gem spanning over 25 years. An examination of the Ca II K emission, spectral line shapes from high resolution data (R = 210,000), and Hipparcos photometry was also made to discern the tru...

The National Institute of Health’s (NIH) Revitalization Act of 1993 mandated the inclusion of women and ethnic minorities in NIH clinical research studies. By 1994, NIH had developed a set of guidelines that stated that women and members of minority groups and their subpopulations were to be included in all NIH-supported biomedical and behavioral research projects that involve human participant...

Following ideas of A. C. Cochran, we give a suitable definition of a saturated uniformly A-convex algebra. In the m-convex case, such algebra is a uniform topological one.

Cochran, Orr and Teichner introduced L–eta–invariants to detect highly non–trivial examples of non slice knots. Using a recent theorem by Lück and Schick we show that their metabelian L–eta–invariants can be viewed as the limit of finite dimensional unitary representations. We recall a ribbon obstruction theorem proved by the author using finite dimensional unitary eta–invariants. We show that ...

We investigated efficient case-control association analysis using family data. The outcome of interest was coronary heart disease. We employed existing and new methods that take into account the correlations among related individuals to obtain the proper type I error rates. The methods considered for autosomal single-nucleotide polymorphisms were: 1) generalized estimating equations-based metho...
