TL;DR: Prufrock as mentioned in this paper unpacked our differences by unpacking the toolbox and finding out the benefits of diversity in the context of building from tools and preferences, as well as the causes of cognitive diversity.

28 Oct 1985TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study changes in racial attitudes in the United States and identify the sources of change in white racial attitudes and theoretical interpretation of white trends. But they do not identify the root causes of these changes.

TL;DR: A device was developed that uses microfabricated fluidic channels, heaters, temperature sensors, and fluorescence detectors to analyze nanoliter-size DNA samples to facilitate the use of DNA analysis in applications such as rapid medical diagnostics and point-of-use agricultural testing.
Abstract: A device was developed that uses microfabricated fluidic channels, heaters, temperature sensors, and fluorescence detectors to analyze nanoliter-size DNA samples. The device is capable of measuring aqueous reagent and DNA-containing solutions, mixing the solutions together, amplifying or digesting the DNA to form discrete products, and separating and detecting those products. No external lenses, heaters, or mechanical pumps are necessary for complete sample processing and analysis. Because all of the components are made using conventional photolithographic production techniques, they operate as a single closed system. The components have the potential for assembly into complex, low-power, integrated analysis systems at low unit cost. The availability of portable, reliable instruments may facilitate the use of DNA analysis in applications such as rapid medical diagnostics and point-of-use agricultural testing.

TL;DR: This article investigated several alternative explanations of these wage structure phenomena, including shifts in the structure of product demand, skilled-labor saving technological change, and changes in the incidence and level of rents received by lower skilled workers.
Abstract: Between 1979 and 1987 there were three significant changes in the wage structure in the United States. the pecuniary returns to schooling increased by about a third; the wages of older relative to younger workers with relatively low education increased to some extent; and the wages of women relative to men rose by almost ten percent. It is important for policy purposes to know why these changes occurred and whether they are temporary or permanent. The paper investigates several alternative explanations of these wage structure phenomena, including the most popular ones that their principal causes were shifts in the structure of product demand, skilled-labor saving technological change, and changes in the incidence and level of rents received by lower skilled workers. our reading of the evidence suggests that the major cause of the dramatic movements in the wage structure during the 1980's may have been some combination of changes in both production technology and the average relative nonobserved quality of different labor groups.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aging is characterized by marked reductions in normally present functional correlations within two higher-order brain systems, and correlation reductions were severe in older adults free from Alzheimer's disease pathology as determined by amyloid imaging.
