Who needs RDD? Combining directory listings with cell phone exchanges for an alternative telephone sampling frame
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Abstract
The traditional Random Digit Dialing method (list-assisted RDD using a frame of landline phone numbers) is clearly under threat. The difficulty and costs of completing telephone surveys have increased due to ...
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 ...
Clay-Polymer Nanocomposites
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Book)
Clay-Polymer Nanocomposites is a complete summary of the existing knowledge on this topic, from the basic concepts of synthesis and design to their applications in timely topics such as high-performance composites, ...
Towards commercialization of self-healing technology in epoxy coatings
(
National Assoc. of Corrosion Engineers International
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This work is focused on developing viable self-healing coatings especially considering the viability of the coating in a commercial context. With this in mind, finding low cost healing agents, with satisfactory healing and ...
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 ...
A comparison of the redox properties of vanadia-based mixed oxides
(
American Chemical Society (ACS)
, 2015 , Article)
The thermodynamics of oxidation and reduction were investigated for a series of vanadium-containing oxides, including CeVO4, LaVO 4, ZrV2O7, Mg3(VO4) 2, CrVO4, AlVO4, and V2O 5, in the temperature range between 873 and 973 ...
Effect of the length of silicon nano-dot/wire on band gap
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
We will report on the role of the length of silicon nanowire (SNW) in determining the band gap of a structure. We find that the band gap decreases with SNW length for the same diameter and approaches the band gap for an ...
