This paper analyzes the determinants of the journey-to-work commute patterns for male teenage workers within a single local labor market: the Oakland Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area. Controlling for the intervening opportunities and the intervening labor supply between a given origin and destination reduces the estimated negative effect of distance on the inter-zonal flow of labor by near...

High elevation montane areas are called "sky islands" when they occur as a series of high mountains separated by lowland valleys. Different climatic conditions at high elevations makes sky islands a specialized type of habitat, rendering them naturally fragmented compared to more continuous habitat at lower elevations. Species in sky islands face unsuitable climate in the intervening valleys wh...

In three experiments, we investigated the role of transfer-appropriate processing and elaborative processing in the testing effect In Experiment 1, we examined whether the magnitude of the testing effect reflects the match between intervening and final tests by factorially manipulating the type of intervening and final tests. Retention was not enhanced for matching, relative to mismatching, int...

Human sound localization relies on implicit head-centered acoustic cues. However, to create a stable and accurate representation of sounds despite intervening head movements, the acoustic input should be continuously combined with feedback signals about changes in head orientation. Alternatively, the auditory target coordinates could be updated in advance by using either the preprogrammed gaze-...

The ambient sound field contains information about the processes generating the sound and the intervening media modifying the sound. This research seeks to demonstrate measurement of useful ocean surface processes using passive measurements of the high frequency underwater ambient sound field. This will allow passive monitoring of environmental conditions from simple and robust sensors, namely ...

Familial aggregations of nephrolithiasis were already noted in the early 19th century and over the intervening years there has been gradual progression in classifying the familial forms of nephrolithiasis. To date, there are at least 10 different monogenic conditions where those affected have a predisposition to nephrolithiasis. However, all of these rare conditions probably account for less th...

A technique obtaining a precise mapping of interactive effects in the pitch memory store is described. Subjects were required to compare two tones for pitch when these were separated by a 5-second interval during which six other tones were played. In the second serial position of the intervening sequence there was placed a tone whose pitch bore a critical relationship to the pitch of the first ...

The large intervening sequences (IVSB) of three human fetal globin genes contain tracts of alternating purine-pyrimidine sequences approximately 40-60 base pairs in length which adopt left-handed Z DNA helices under the influence of negative supercoiling. The amount of negative supercoiling (-0.045) required for the rightto left-handed transitions is within the physiological range. The structur...

involved, as the valuable role of historical analysis in the 2001 foot and mouth epidemic showed. Scally and Womack’s paper recalls the role of history teaching of public health professionals by Sidney Chave. They mention the history study unit we run at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Nevertheless history struggles to find a role in the increasingly crowded training curricu...
