Conditional Likelihood Methods For Haplotype-Based Association Analysis Using Matched Case-Control Data, Jinbo Chen, Carmen Rodriguez
Conditional Likelihood Methods For Haplotype-Based Association Analysis Using Matched Case-Control Data, Jinbo Chen, Carmen Rodriguez
UPenn Biostatistics Working Papers
Genetic epidemiologists routinely assess disease susceptibility in relation to haplotypes, i.e., combinations of alleles on a single chromosome. We study statistical methods for inferring haplotype-related disease risk using SNP genotype data from matched case-control studies, where controls are individually matched to cases on some selected factors. Assuming a logistic regression model for haplotype-disease association, we propose two conditional likelihood approaches that address the issue that haplotypes cannot be inferred with certainty from SNP genotype data (phase ambiquity). One approach is based on the likelihood of disease status conditioned on the total number of cases, genotypes, and other covariates within each …

Did Nepa Drown New Orleans? The Levees, The Blame Game, And The Hazards Of Hindsight, Thomas O. Mcgarity, Douglas A. Kysar
Did Nepa Drown New Orleans? The Levees, The Blame Game, And The Hazards Of Hindsight, Thomas O. Mcgarity, Douglas A. Kysar
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This Article highlights the hazards of hindsight analysis of the causes of catastrophic events, focusing on theories of why the New Orleans levees failed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and particularly on the theory that the levee failures were "caused" by a 1977 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) lawsuit that resulted in a temporary injunction against the Army Corps of Engineers' hurricane protection project for New Orleans. The Article provides a detailed historical reconstruction of the decision process that eventuated in the New Orleans storm surge protection system, focusing both on the political and legal factors involved and on the …

Sar Imaging And Hydrodynamic Analysis Of Ocean Bottom Topographic Waves, Quanan Zheng, Li Li, Xiaogang Guo, Yong Ge, Dayong Zhu, Chunyan Li
Sar Imaging And Hydrodynamic Analysis Of Ocean Bottom Topographic Waves, Quanan Zheng, Li Li, Xiaogang Guo, Yong Ge, Dayong Zhu, Chunyan Li
Faculty Publications
The satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images display wave-like patterns of the ocean bottom topographic features at the south outlet of Taiwan Strait (TS). Field measurements indicate that the most TS water body is vertically stratified. However, SAR imaging models available were developed for homogeneous waters. Hence explaining SAR imaging mechanisms of bottom features in a stratified ocean is beyond the scope of those models. In order to explore these mechanisms and to determine the quantitative relations between the SAR imagery and the bottom features, a two-dimensional, three-layer ocean model with sinusoidal bottom topographic features is developed. Analytical solutions and …

Absorption Properties Of A Porous Organic Crystalline Apohost Formed By A Self-Assembled Bis-Urea Macrocycle, Mahender B. Dewal, Michael W. Lufaso, Andrew D. Hughes, Stevan A. Samuel, Perry J. Pellechia, Linda S. Shimizu
Faculty Publications
We report herein the characterization and binding properties of a microporous crystalline host formed by the self assembly of a bis-urea macrocycle 1. Bis-urea macrocycle 1 has been designed to crystallize into stacked hollow columns. The self-assembly process is guided primarily by hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking interactions that yield crystals of filled host 1âacetic acid (AcOH). The AcOH guests are bound in the cylindrical cavities of the crystal. The guest AcOH can be removed by heating to form a stable crystalline apohost 1. Apohost 1 displays a type I gas adsorption isotherm with CO2 that is consistent with …

A Sub 1v Bandgap Reference Circuit, Ashish Digvadekar
A Sub 1v Bandgap Reference Circuit, Ashish Digvadekar
Theses
This thesis proposes a novel technique for a low supply voltage temperature-independent reference voltage. With the scaling of supply voltages, the threshold voltages don’t scale proportionally and thus low supply reference circuits have replaced the conventional bandgap reference circuit. The first chapter of this work discusses the conventional bandgap references (The Widlar and Brokaw references). The terminology used in the bandgap world is introduced here. The second chapter investigates the existing low supply voltage reference circuits with their advantages and the limitations. A table discussing all the investigated circuits is provided towards the end of the chapter as a summary. …

Novel Mesoscale Defect Structure On Nio(1 0 0) Surfaces By Atomic Force Microscopy, S. C. Petitto, Cindy L. Berrie, Marjorie Langell
Novel Mesoscale Defect Structure On Nio(1 0 0) Surfaces By Atomic Force Microscopy, S. C. Petitto, Cindy L. Berrie, Marjorie Langell
Marjorie A. Langell Publications
Cleaved NiO(1 0 0) surfaces were imaged with atomic force microscopy (AFM) to determine defect concentrations and morphology. Random (0 1 0) and (0 0 1) oriented steps, which have been previously characterized, were the most common defect observed on the cleaved surface and formed with step heights in multiples of 2.1 Å, the Ni–O nearest-neighbor distance, and terrace widths in the range of 25–100 nm. In addition, the surface showed novel mesoscale (~0.5–2 μm) square pyramidal defects with the pyramid base oriented along (1 0 0) symmetry related directions. Upon etching, the pyramidal defects converted to more stable cubic …
Legal Construct Validation: Expanding Empirical Legal Scholarship To Unobservable Concepts, David S. Goldman
Legal Construct Validation: Expanding Empirical Legal Scholarship To Unobservable Concepts, David S. Goldman
ExpressO
This article contends that many of the fundamental concepts of law (such as justice, incentives, and deterrence) are not directly measurable, and have, therefore, been largely ignored by empirical legal scholarship. Fortunately, other social sciences have confronted this same obstacle and have developed methods with which to empirically assess these intangible concepts. I propose that the concept of construct validation, which has been developed in the psychology subfield of psychometrics, can be adapted to law to measure these unobservable traits. To adapt construct validation to law, empirical legal scholars must 1) develop generalized theories, 2) infer multiple hypotheses from these …
Predatory Structured Finance, Christopher L. Peterson
Predatory Structured Finance, Christopher L. Peterson
ExpressO
Predatory lending is a real, pervasive, and destructive problem as demonstrated by record settlements, jury awards, media exposes, and a large body of empirical scholarship. Currently the national debate over predatory mortgage lending is shifting to the controversial question of who should bear liability for predatory lending practices. In today’s subprime mortgage market, originators and brokers quickly assign home loans through a complex and opaque series of transactions involving as many as a dozen different strategically organized companies. Loans are typically transferred into large pools, and then income from those loans is “structured” to appeal to different types of investors. …
Generalized Confidence Intervals For The Ratio Or Difference Of Two Means For Lognormal Populations With Zeros, Yea-Hung Chen, Xiao-Hua Zhou
Generalized Confidence Intervals For The Ratio Or Difference Of Two Means For Lognormal Populations With Zeros, Yea-Hung Chen, Xiao-Hua Zhou
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
We discuss in this article methods for analyzing lognormal data that may include zeros. Specifically, we are interested in interval estimation for the ratio or difference of the population means. We propose here two generalized pivotal (GP) approaches: a ``true'' GP method and an ``approximate'' GP method. Additionally, we propose two likelihood-based approaches: a signed log-likelihood ratio (SLLR) method and a modified SLLR method. Our simulation studies suggest that the approximate generalized pivotal approach outperforms all other known methods; it results in highly accurate coverage frequencies and fairly low bias, even in small sample settings.

Multiple Imputation - Review Of Theory, Implementation And Software, Ofer Harel, Xiao-Hua Zhou
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Missing data is a common complication in data analysis. In many medical settings missing data can cause difficulties in estimation, precision and inference. Multiple imputation (MI) \cite{Rubin87} is a simulation based approach to deal with incomplete data. Although there are many different methods to deal with incomplete data, MI has become one of the leading methods. Since the late 80's we observed a constant increase in the use and publication of MI related research. This tutorial does not attempt to cover all the material concerning MI, but rather provides an overview and combines together the theory behind MI, the implementation …
Multiple Imputation For The Comparison Of Two Screening Tests In Two-Phase Alzheimer Studies, Ofer Harel, Xiao-Hua Zhou
Multiple Imputation For The Comparison Of Two Screening Tests In Two-Phase Alzheimer Studies, Ofer Harel, Xiao-Hua Zhou
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Two-phase designs are common in epidemiological studies of dementia, and especially in Alzheimer research. In the first phase, all subjects are screened using a common screening test(s), while in the second phase, only a subset of these subjects is tested using a more definitive verification assessment, i.e. golden standard test. When comparing the accuracy of two screening tests in a two-phase study of dementia, inferences are commonly made using only the verified sample. It is well documented that in that case, there is a risk for bias, called verification bias. When the two screening tests have only two values (e.g. …

Design And Fabrication Of Rotationally Tristable Compliant Mechanisms, Tyler M. Pendleton
Design And Fabrication Of Rotationally Tristable Compliant Mechanisms, Tyler M. Pendleton
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research is to develop the tools necessary to create tristable compliant mechanisms; the work presents the creation of models and concepts for design and a demonstration of the feasibility of the designs through the fabrication of tristable compliant mechanism prototypes on the macro scale. Prior methods to achieve tristable mechanisms rely on detents, friction, or power input; disadvantages to these methods include a high number of parts, the necessity for lubrication, and wear. A compliant tristable mechanism accomplishes tristability through strain energy storage. These mechanisms would be preferable because of increased performance and cost savings due …

The entanglement of two qubits, each defined as an effective two-level, spin 1/2 system, is investigated for the case that the qubits interact via a Heisenberg XY interaction and are subject to decoherence due to population relaxation and thermal effects. For zero temperature, the time dependent concurrence is studied analytically and numerically for some typical initial states, including a separable (unentangled) initial state. An analytical formula for non-zero steady state concurrence is found for any initial state, and optimal parameter values for maximizing steady state concurrence are given. The steady state concurrence is found analytically to remain non-zero for low, …
When Should Judges Appoint Experts?: A Law And Economics Perspective, Jonathan T. Tomlin, David Cooper
When Should Judges Appoint Experts?: A Law And Economics Perspective, Jonathan T. Tomlin, David Cooper
ExpressO
The Supreme Court’s decision in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals placed federal judges in the role of “gatekeepers” empowered to evaluate the reliability of often complex expert testimony. Many judges, commentators, and legal scholars have argued that court-appointed experts can assist judges in appropriately carrying out their gatekeeping role. However, previous literature has not evaluated the role of court-appointed experts in a rigorous framework that considers the complex interaction of the incentives of expert witnesses, the impact of expert witnesses on the decision-making of the fact finder, and the knowledge of the judge. In this article, we provide such a …
