A household-level decomposition of the white–black homeownership gap
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
This paper uses a semiparametric homeownership model to estimate and to decompose the household-level
white–black homeownership gap into an endowment component and a residual component across the
distribution of homeownership ...
Changes in the white–black house value distribution gap from 1997 to 2005
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
This paper examines the white–black house value gap across the entire value distribution. Instead of using standard
conditional mean analysis and decomposition methods (via OLS regression), we estimate and decompose
the ...
Implementation and evaluation of a patient safety course in a problem-based learning program
(2017 , Article)
Background: Since the development of the WHO patient safety curriculum guide, there has been insufficient reporting regarding the implementation and evaluation of patient safety courses in undergraduate problem-based ...
Detection of paracetamol as substrate of the gut microbiome
(
Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
Gut microbiome, a new organ; represent targets to alter pharmacokinetics of orally administered drugs. Recently, in vitro trials endorsed the idea that orally administered drugs interact and some of their quantity may be ...
Encapsulation of tung oil for self-healing coatings in corrosion applications
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2015 , Article)
Encapsulation of tung oil for use in self-healing applications using urea-formaldehyde as the shell was performed via in-situ polymerization. Microcapsules ranging from 100 to 250 μm with a shell wall thickness of 1.7–2.6 ...
Zero-bias photocurrents in highly-disordered networks of Ge and Si nanowires
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
Semiconducting nanowire (NW) devices have garnered attention in self-powered electronic and optoelectronic applications. This work explores and exhibits, for the first time for visible light, clear evidence of the zero-biased ...
Photoresponse of silicon with asymmetric area contacts
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
We report on high performance metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photosensors based on asymmetric metal pad areas. The reported devices require a single-step metal deposition, and exhibit large photo response even under ...
Macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing soil-solid interface friction under low effective normal stresses
(
ASTM International
, 2014 , Article)
The paper describes a new macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing the largedisplacement soil/solid interface drained shear strength at low effective normal stresses. The testing method arises from a need to ...
Shear strength of geosynthetic composite systems for design of landfill liner and cover slopes
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Torsional ring shear tests were performed on composite specimens that simulate the field alignment of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill liner and cover system components. Simultaneous shearing was provided to each test ...
Settlement of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in rock - analytical and experimental study
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Finite element analysis was performed to study the settlement behaviour of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in nonhomogenous rock. The elastic modulus of the rock mass was taken to increase linearly along the pile ...
