- Description:
- The optical properties of spherical gold nanoparticles are calculated using classical electrodynamics. The wavelength corresponding to maximum extinction shifts to longer wavelengths as the size of the nanoparticle is increased. The influence of higher-order multipoles is evident for large nanoparticles, making the spectra more complex. When the shell thickness of...

- Transmission and reflection diffraction gratings were fabricated by micropatterning polymers on transparent substrates and drop-coating polymers onto etched silicon wafers. Exposure of these gratings to three nerve toxin mimics at very low concentrations resulted in mimic sorption by the polymers, changing the polymer’s refractive index. As a result, the grating’s...

- Feedback-controlled lithography (FCL) enables atomically precise patterning of individual molecules on the technologically significant Si(100)-2 x 1:H surface. However, because it is performed in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) environment, FCL has thus far been restricted to surface chemistries that can be delivered in the gas phase. The present research attempts...

- Description:
- The diverse circuits and functional contributions of the basal ganglia, coupled with known differences in dopaminergic function in patients with schizophrenia, suggest they may be an important contributor to the etiology of the hallmark symptoms and cognitive dysfunction experienced by these patients. Using activation-likelihood-estimation meta-analysis of functional imaging research, we...

- Description:
- Many preventable behaviors contribute to adolescent mortality and morbidity. Non-adherence to preventive measures represents a challenge and has been associated with worse health outcomes in this population. The widespread use of electronic communication technologies by adolescents, particularly the use of text messaging (short message service, SMS) and mobile phones, presents...

- Description:
- Metabolic syndrome has become a major public health challenge worldwide. The association between metabolic syndrome and DNA methylation is of great research interest. We constructed a binomial model to investigate the association between a metabolic syndrome index and DNA methylation in the Normative Aging Study. We applied the Iterative Sure...

- Description:
- The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has expanded health coverage for thousands of Illinois residents. Expanded coverage, however, does not guarantee appropriate health care. Diabetes and its ocular complications serve as an example of how providers in underserved urban areas may not be able to keep up with new demand for...

- Description:
- When making serial predictions in a binary decision task, there is a clear tendency to assume that after a series of the same external outcome (e.g., heads in a coin flip), the next outcome will be the opposing one (e.g., tails), even when the outcomes are independent of one another....

- Description:
- Electronic and vibrational correlations report on the dynamics and structure of molecular species, yet revealing these correlations experimentally has proved extremely challenging. Here, we demonstrate a method that probes correlations between states within the vibrational and electronic manifold with quantum coherence selectivity. Specifically, we measure a fully coherent four-dimensional spectrum...

- In the United States, African-Americans’ (AAs) HIV infection rates are higher than any other racial group, and AA men who have sex with women (MSW) are a significant proportion of new cases. There is little research into AA MSW HIV/AIDS knowledge, barriers, and facilitators of HIV testing in Chicago. We...
