How To Pay For Education Finance Reform, John Yinger Oct 2005

How To Pay For Education Finance Reform, John Yinger

Center for Policy Research

It’s Elementary is a series of essays on topics in education and education policy. The main focus is on education finance in New York State, but general research findings in education and education policy issues in several other states are also discussed. John Yinger, Professor of Economics and Public Administration at the Maxwell School, Syracuse University is the author of most of these essays, although a few are written by or co-authored with other scholars.


Ranking Inequality: Applications Of Multivariate Subset Selection, William C. Horrace, Joseph T. Marchand, Timothy M. Smeeding Oct 2005

Ranking Inequality: Applications Of Multivariate Subset Selection, William C. Horrace, Joseph T. Marchand, Timothy M. Smeeding

Center for Policy Research

Inequality measures are often presented in the form of a rank ordering to highlight their relative magnitudes. However, a rank ordering may produce misleading inference, because the inequality measures themselves are statistical estimators with different standard errors, and because a rank ordering necessarily implies multiple comparisons across all measures. Within this setting, if differences between several inequality measures are simultaneously and statistically insignificant, the interpretation of the ranking is changed. This study uses a multivariate subset selection procedure to make simultaneous distinctions across inequality measures at a pre-specified confidence level. Three applications of this procedure are explored using country-level data …


Correlates Of Soy Food Consumption In Women At Increased Risk For Breast Cancer, Carolyn Y. Fang, Marilyn Tseng, Mary B. Daly Oct 2005

Correlates Of Soy Food Consumption In Women At Increased Risk For Breast Cancer, Carolyn Y. Fang, Marilyn Tseng, Mary B. Daly

Kinesiology and Public Health

Objectives The objectives of the present study were to examine sociodemographic correlates of soy food consumption among women at increased risk of breast cancer, describe factors influencing soy food consumption or nonconsumption, and identify women’s sources of information about soy foods. Design A cross-sectional, self-report survey was used to assess frequency of and factors influencing soy food consumption. Soy food intake was reported for the past year. Subjects/setting Participants were 452 women with family histories of breast cancer who were enrolled in a cancer risk assessment program. Statistical analyses performed Comparisons between consumers and nonconsumers of soy foods were performed …

Climatology Of The Low-Level Jet At The Southern Great Plains Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments Site, Jie Song, Ke Liao, Richard L. Coulter, Barry M. Lesht Oct 2005

Climatology Of The Low-Level Jet At The Southern Great Plains Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments Site, Jie Song, Ke Liao, Richard L. Coulter, Barry M. Lesht

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

A unique dataset obtained with combinations of minisodars and 915-MHz wind profilers at the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Experiments (ABLE) facility in Kansas was used to examine the detailed characteristics of the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ). In contrast to instruments used in earlier studies, the ABLE instruments provide hourly, high-resolution vertical profiles of wind velocity from just above the surface to approximately 2 km above ground level (AGL). Furthermore, the 6-yr span of the dataset allowed the examination of interannual variability in jet properties with improved statistical reliability. It was found that LLJs occurred during 63% of the nighttime periods sampled. …


Arge-Encoded N-Acetyl-L-Ornithine Deacetylase From Escherichia Coli Contains A Dinuclear Metalloactive Site, Wade C. Mcgregor, Sabina I. Swierczek, Brian Bennett, Richard C. Holz Oct 2005

Arge-Encoded N-Acetyl-L-Ornithine Deacetylase From Escherichia Coli Contains A Dinuclear Metalloactive Site, Wade C. Mcgregor, Sabina I. Swierczek, Brian Bennett, Richard C. Holz

Physics Faculty Research and Publications

The catalytic and structural properties of the argE-encoded N-acetyl-l-ornithine deacetylase (ArgE) from Escherichia coli were investigated. On the basis of kinetic and ITC (isothermal titration calorimetry) data, Zn(II) binds to ArgE with Kd values that differ by ∼20 times. Moreover, ArgE exhibits ∼90% of its full catalytic activity upon addition of one metal ion. Therefore, ArgE behaves similarly to the aminopeptidase from Aeromonas proteolytica (AAP) in that one metal ion is the catalytic metal ion while the second likely plays a structural role. The N-acetyl-l-ornithine (NAO) deacetylase activity of ArgE showed a linear temperature dependence from …

A recently developed standard-model extension (SME) formalism for neutrino oscillations that includes Lorentz and CPT violation is used to analyze the sidereal time variation of the neutrino event excess measured by the liquid scintillator neutrino detector (LSND) experiment. The LSND experiment, performed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, observed an excess, consistent with neutrino oscillations, of ν̄e in a beam of ν̄μ. It is determined that the LSND oscillation signal is consistent with no sidereal variation. However, there are several combinations of SME coefficients that describe the LSND data; both with and without sidereal variations. The scale of Lorentz and CPT …

Directional transport of the phytohormone auxin is required for the establishment and maintenance of plant polarity, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Plant homologs of human multiple drug resistance/P-glycoproteins (MDR/PGPs) have been implicated in auxin transport, as defects in MDR1 (AtPGP19) and AtPGP1 result in reductions of growth and auxin transport in Arabidopsis (atpgp1, atpgp19), maize (brachytic2) and sorghum (dwarf3). Here we examine the localization, activity, substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity of AtPGP1. AtPGP1 exhibits non-polar plasma membrane localization at the shoot and root apices, as well as polar localization above the root apex. Protoplasts from …

Intruder Level And Deformation In The Sd-Pair Shell Model, Yan A.N. Luo, Chairul Bahri, Feng Pan, V. G. Gueorguiev, Jerry P. Draayer Oct 2005

Intruder Level And Deformation In The Sd-Pair Shell Model, Yan A.N. Luo, Chairul Bahri, Feng Pan, V. G. Gueorguiev, Jerry P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

The influence of the intruder level on nuclear deformation is studied within the framework of the nucleon-pair shell model, truncated to an SD-pair subspace. The results suggest that the intruder level has a tendency to reduce the deformation for nuclei in lower and middle shells, and plays an important role in determining the onset of rotational behavior. © World Scientific Publishing Company.


Limitations On The Utility Of Exact Master Equations, G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell Oct 2005

Limitations On The Utility Of Exact Master Equations, G. W. Ford, R. F. O'Connell

Faculty Publications

The low temperature solution of the exact master equation for an oscillator coupled to a linear passive heat bath is known to give rise to serious divergences. We now show that, even in the high temperature regime, problems also exist, notably the fact that the density matrix is not necessarily positive. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
