Freakonomics And The Tax Gap: An Applied Perspective, Leslie Book Jul 2007

Freakonomics And The Tax Gap: An Applied Perspective, Leslie Book

Working Paper Series

Over the past thirty years, a significant amount of research from a variety of social science disciplines has considered tax compliance. Economists, psychologists, and sociologists have contributed to the discussion, offering research and, at times, conflicting explanations regarding whether a person is likely to comply with his obligation to file an accurate tax return. The unifying theme among this research is a search for explanatory reasons which are the factors that lead to non-compliance. In broad terms, the economic models of tax compliance assume rational behavior, and that people will coldly consider compliance from the perspective as to whether the …

Infertility And Life Satisfaction Among Women, Julia Mcquillan, Roselie Torres Stone, Arthur L. Greil Jul 2007

Infertility And Life Satisfaction Among Women, Julia Mcquillan, Roselie Torres Stone, Arthur L. Greil

Bureau of Sociological Research: Faculty Publications

Using data from a random sample of 580 midwestern women, the authors explore the association between lifetime infertility and life satisfaction. Past research shows lower life satisfaction among those seeking help for infertility. The authors find no direct effects of lifetime infertility, regardless of perception of a problem, on life satisfaction; however, there are several conditional effects. Among women who have ever met the criteria for infertility and perceive a fertility problem, life satisfaction is significantly lower for non-mothers and those with higher internal medical locus of control, and the association is weaker for employed women. For women with infertility …

Global-Change Scenarios: Their Development And Use, Edward Parson, Virginia Burkett, Karen Fisher-Vanden, David Keith, Linda Mearns, Hugh Pitcher, Cynthia Rosenzweig, Mort Webster Jul 2007

Global-Change Scenarios: Their Development And Use, Edward Parson, Virginia Burkett, Karen Fisher-Vanden, David Keith, Linda Mearns, Hugh Pitcher, Cynthia Rosenzweig, Mort Webster

United States Department of Energy: Publications

A scenario is a description of potential future conditions produced to inform decision-making under uncertainty. Scenarios can help inform decisions that involve high stakes and poorly characterized uncertainty, which may thwart other, conventional forms of analysis or decision support. Originally developed to study military and security problems, scenarios are now widely used for strategic planning and assessment in businesses and other organizations, and increasingly to inform planning, analysis, and decision-making for environmental issues, including climate change.
Scenarios can serve many purposes. They can help inform specific decisions, or can provide inputs to assessments, models, or other decision-support activities when these …

Scenarios Of Greenhouse Gas Emissions And Atmospheric Concentrations, Leon Clarke, James Edmonds, Henry Jacoby, Hugh Pitcher, John Reilly, Richard Richels Jul 2007

Scenarios Of Greenhouse Gas Emissions And Atmospheric Concentrations, Leon Clarke, James Edmonds, Henry Jacoby, Hugh Pitcher, John Reilly, Richard Richels

United States Department of Energy: Publications

This and a companion report constitute one of twenty-one Synthesis and Assessment Products called for in the Strategic Plan for the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. These studies are structured to provide high-level, integrated research results on important science issues with a particular focus on questions raised by decision-makers on dimensions of climate change directly relevant to the U.S. One element of the CCSP’s strategic vision is to provide decision support tools for differentiating and evaluating response strategies. Scenario-based analysis is one such tool. The scenarios in this report explore the implications of alternative stabilization levels of anthropogenic greenhouse …

Scientific Reports Of Soviet Whaling Expeditions In The North Pacific, 1955-1978, Y. V. Ivashchenko, P. J. Clapham, R. L. Brownell Jr. Jul 2007

Scientific Reports Of Soviet Whaling Expeditions In The North Pacific, 1955-1978, Y. V. Ivashchenko, P. J. Clapham, R. L. Brownell Jr.

United States Department of Commerce: Staff Publications

The translated and annotated materials in this volume constitute a collection of 18 formerly secret internal reports written by Soviet scientists working aboard whaling factory ships in the North Pacific. The reports cover the period from 1955 to 1978. During most of this time, the USSR was engaged in a massive campaign of illegal whaling worldwide; these illegal catches continued until introduction of the International Whaling Commission’s International Observer Scheme in 1972. The reports were copied from the archives of the Pacific Research and Fisheries Center (TINRO) in Vladivostok by Alfred A. Berzin, the former director of TINRO’s marine mammal …

A Finite Difference Method For Studying Thermal Deformation In A Three-Dimensional Microsphere Exposed To Ultrashort-Pulsed Lasers, Xudong Du Jul 2007

A Finite Difference Method For Studying Thermal Deformation In A Three-Dimensional Microsphere Exposed To Ultrashort-Pulsed Lasers, Xudong Du

Doctoral Dissertations

Ultrashort-pulsed lasers with pulse durations on the order of sub-picoseconds to femtoseconds possess the capabilities in limiting the undesirable spread of the thermal process zone in a heated sample which have been attracting worldwide interest in science and engineering. Success of ultrashort-pulsed lasers in real application relies on: (1) well characterized pulse width, intensity and experimental techniques; (2) reliable microscale heat transfer models; and (3) prevention of thermal damage. Laser damage by ultrashort-pulsed lasers occurs after the heating pulse is over since the pulse duration time is extremely short and the heat flux is essentially limited to the region within …

Fabrication And Application Of Conducting Polymer Micro- And Nano-Patterns, Anirban Chakraborty Jul 2007

Fabrication And Application Of Conducting Polymer Micro- And Nano-Patterns, Anirban Chakraborty

Doctoral Dissertations

Conducting polymers, since their discovery, have attracted significant attention due to their promise of replacing silicon and metals in building devices. They have been shown to have wide applications for biological and chemical sensing as well as for electronic devices. Previous and current efforts have concentrated on building devices of a specific function. When multiple micropatterns of different conducting polymers are fabricated on a common substrate, a versatile microsystem can be envisioned. The existing conducting polymer patterning techniques present some technical challenges of degradation, low throughput, low resolution, depth of field, and residual layer in producing conducting polymer microstructures. To …

Ginger Facilitates Cholinergic Activity Possibly Due To Blockade Of Muscarinic Autoreceptors In Rat Stomach Fundus, Muhammad N. Ghayur, Adil H. Khan, Anwarul H. Gilani Jul 2007

Ginger Facilitates Cholinergic Activity Possibly Due To Blockade Of Muscarinic Autoreceptors In Rat Stomach Fundus, Muhammad N. Ghayur, Adil H. Khan, Anwarul H. Gilani

Department of Biological & Biomedical Sciences

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a universally known food plant reputed for its medicinal use in gastrointestinal disorders as a prokinetic and laxative. We recently showed that 70% aqueous-methanolic extract of ginger (Zo.Cr) exhibits prokinetic activity in rats via activation of post-synaptic muscarinic M3 receptor in rat stomach fundus. In view of the physiological significance of pre-synaptic muscarinic M1 and M2 autoreceptors, this study was undertaken to further look into the possible mode of action of the prokinetic effect of ginger through inhibition of pre-synaptic muscarinic receptors. Isolated tissue bath experiments were performed with Sprague-Dawley rat stomach fundus strip preparations immersed …
