High-School Exit Examinations and the Schooling Decisions of Teenagers: Evidence From Regression-Discontinuity Approaches.

Journal of research on educational effectiveness

Papay JP, Murnane RJ, Willett JB.
PMID: 25606065
J Res Educ Eff. 2014;7(1):1-27. doi: 10.1080/19345747.2013.819398.

We examine whether barely failing one or more state-mandated high school exit examinations in Massachusetts affects the probability that students enroll in college. We extend the exit examination literature in two ways. First, we explore longer term effects of...

Anti-aging dilemma: to restore the hardware or to reinstall the software?.

Body mass index, waist circumference, and risk of coronary heart disease: A prospective study among men and women.

Obesity research & clinical practice

Flint AJ, Rexrode KM, Hu FB, Glynn RJ, Caspard H, Manson JE, Willett WC, Rimm EB.
PMID: 24345660
Obes Res Clin Pract. 2010 Jul-Sep;4(3):e163-246. doi: 10.1016/j.orcp.2010.01.001.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to assess the risk of CHD associated with excess weight measured by BMI and waist circumference (WC) in two large cohorts of men and women.DESIGN, SETTING, SUBJECTS: Participants in two prospective cohort...

Use of direct oral anticoagulants for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease in patients with reduced renal function: a short review of the clinical evidence.

Therapeutics and clinical risk management

Willett KC, Morrill AM.
PMID: 28435279
Ther Clin Risk Manag. 2017 Apr 06;13:447-454. doi: 10.2147/TCRM.S88911. eCollection 2017.

BACKGROUND: The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is restricted by the limitations of clinical trials guiding therapy for patients with renal impairment, as many of these trials excluded patients with severe renal impairment. There are currently four agents...

Concurrence in the ability for lipid synthesis between life stages in insects.

Royal Society open science

Visser B, Willett DS, Harvey JA, Alborn HT.
PMID: 28405368
R Soc Open Sci. 2017 Mar 22;4(3):160815. doi: 10.1098/rsos.160815. eCollection 2017 Mar.

The ability to synthesize lipids is critical for an organism's fitness; hence, metabolic pathways, underlying lipid synthesis, tend to be highly conserved. Surprisingly, the majority of parasitoids deviate from this general metabolic model by lacking the ability to convert...

Exploring the Placement and Design of Word-Scale Visualizations.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics

Goffin P, Willett W, Fekete JD, Isenberg P.
PMID: 26356943
IEEE Trans Vis Comput Graph. 2014 Dec;20(12):2291-300. doi: 10.1109/TVCG.2014.2346435.

We present an exploration and a design space that characterize the usage and placement of word-scale visualizations within text documents. Word-scale visualizations are a more general version of sparklines--small, word-sized data graphics that allow meta-information to be visually presented...

Dietary selenium in humans toenails as an indicator.

Biological trace element research

Steven Morris J, Stampfer MJ, Willett W.
PMID: 24263672
Biol Trace Elem Res. 1983 Dec;5(6):529-37. doi: 10.1007/BF02988944.

Mounting laboratory and epidemiologic evidence suggests that selenium may be important in the etiology of both cancer and heart disease. We explored the use of hair and nails as indicators of selenium intake by measuring their selenium levels using...

Incidence and prognostic impact of high-risk HPV tumor infection in cervical esophageal carcinoma.

Journal of gastrointestinal oncology

Ludmir EB, Palta M, Zhang X, Wu Y, Willett CG, Czito BG.
PMID: 25436117
J Gastrointest Oncol. 2014 Dec;5(6):401-7. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2078-6891.2014.053.

BACKGROUND: Cervical esophageal carcinoma (CEC) is an uncommon malignancy. Limited data supports the use of definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) as primary treatment. Furthermore, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) tumor infection in CEC remains unknown. This study retrospectively analyzes both...

Wiggler-field effects on the space-charge waves of a Raman free-electron laser.

Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics

Maraghechi B, Farrokhi B, Willett JE, Bolon B, Mehdian H.
PMID: 11970021
Phys Rev E Stat Phys Plasmas Fluids Relat Interdiscip Topics. 1999 Aug;60(2):2264-71. doi: 10.1103/physreve.60.2264.

An analysis of the propagation of a space-charge wave through the wiggler and axial magnetic fields of a free-electron laser is presented. The relativistic electron beam is contained within and only partially fills a cylindrical metallic waveguide. A theory...
