Social segregation is a ubiquitous feature of human life. People segregate along the lines of income, religion, ethnicity, language, race, and other characteristics. This study provides the first experimental examination of decentralized matching with search frictions and institutionalized segregation. The findings indicate that, without a segregation institution, high types over-segregate rela...

Residential segregation is defined in a variety of ways to address a common concern: to what extent do social groups reside in separate or distinct places. The spatial pattern of segregation varies widely across cities, and distinct spatial patterns can be generated by different mechanisms and have different consequences for residents and their communities. However, the methods commonly employe...

The range distributions of low-energy nitrogen and oxygen (2-3 keV) ions is silicon are measured and compared with these available in theories. The nitrogen distribution is very close to a Gaussian distribution as predicted by theory. The oxygen profile however, indicates a surface localized peak along with a shoulder and a long tail into the sample. The surface peak is beleived to he the resul...

The relationship between social segregation and workplace segregation had been traditionally studied as a one-way causal relationship mediated by referral hiring. In this paper we introduce an alternative framework which describes the dynamic relationships between social segregation, workplace segregation, individuals’ homophily levels, and referral hiring. An agent-based simulation model was d...

Since the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, researchers and policymakers have paid close attention to trends in school segregation. Here we review the evidence regarding these trends and their consequences. In general, the evidence regarding trends in segregation suggests that the most significant declines in school segregation occurred at the end of the 1960s and the s...

Two conceptual and methodological foundations of segregation studies are that (i) segregation involves more than one group, and (ii) segregation measures need to quantify how different population groups are distributed across space. Therefore, percentage of population belonging to a group is not an appropriate measure of segregation because it does not describe how populations are spread across...

The ability to distinguish a figure from its background is crucial for visual perception. To date, it remains unresolved where and how in the visual system different stages of figure-ground segregation emerge. Neural correlates of figure border detection have consistently been found in early visual cortex (V1/V2). However, areas V1/V2 have also been frequently associated with later stages of fi...

background: this study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (apd). methods: the participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed apd (age, 9–11 years) according t...

For decades, racial residential segregation has been observed to vary with health outcomes for African Americans, although only recently has interest increased in the public health literature. Utilizing a systematic review of the health and social science literature, the authors consider the segregation-health association through the lens of 4 questions of interest to epidemiologists: How is se...
