This paper explores the impact of demographic changes on the housing market in the US, 1st by reviewing the facts about the Baby Boom, 2nd by linking age and housing demand using census data for 1970 and 1980, 3rd by computing the effect of demand on price of housing and on the quantity of residential capital, and last by constructing a theoretical model to plot the predictability of the jump i...

BACKGROUND Baby walkers (BWs) are frequent causes of infant injuries. Little research is reported from the Middle East and few population-based studies anywhere. METHODS Using multistage random sampling in a city of the United Arab Emirates, 4 of 8 female Arab government high schools and 3 final-year classes each from science and arts tracks were selected. Structured self-administered questio...

Baby boomers will begin entering old age in 2011. They will be the largest and most diverse cohort ever to experience this life-course transition. The sheer number of baby boomers has challenged institutions time after time (Dychtwald, 1990). Despite extensive speculation regarding the political, economic, and social impact that the aging of baby boomers will have on American society, no one ha...

We argue that the giant graviton configurations known from the literature have a complementary, microscopical description in terms of multiple gravitational waves undergoing a dielectric (or magnetic moment) effect. We present a non-Abelian effective action for these gravitational waves with dielectric couplings and show that stable dielectric solutions exist. These solutions agree in the large...

The type specimens of five species of Eleodes described by Francis Walker from British Columbia, Canada, were studied in order to establish their true identity. The synonymy of Eleodes convexicollis Walker and E. conjunctus Walker with E. obscurus (Say); that of Eleodes latiusculus Walker with E. humeralis LeConte;  and that of Eleodes binotatus Walker with  Eleodes hispilabris (Say) is confirm...

apart from the breast milk, infant formula and baby weaning food have a special role in infant diet. infants and young children are very susceptible to amount of trace elements. copper and zinc are two elements that add in infant food. lead and cadmium are heavy metals that enter to food chain unavoidably. dpasv is a benefit and applicable method for measurement of trace elements in food produc...

A reformulation of Walker’s theorem on the cancellation of Z says that any two homomorphisms from an abelian group B onto Z have isomorphic kernels. It does not have a constructive proof, even for B a subgroup of Z3. In this paper we give a constructive proof of Walker’s theorem for B a direct sum, over any discrete index set, of groups of the following two kinds: finite-rank torsion-free group...
