This study leverages human capital theory to identify the correlates of expected returns on investment in higher education at the level of institutions.We leverage estimates of average ROI in post-secondary education among more than 400 baccalaureate degree conferring colleges and universities to understand the correlates of a relatively new metric

The node-based smoothed finite element method (NS-FEM) is shortly presented for calculations of the static and seismic bearing capacities ardell soft touch 150 of shallow strip footings.A series of computations has been performed to assess variations in seismic bearing capacity factors with both horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations.Numeric

Introduction: Kansas is a predominantly rural state that had 9853 rural births in 2018.The Kansas Rural Obstetrical Access Task Force was formed to study and address factors affecting these births.One of these factors is the distance between mothers and the location of maternity services.Poor access leading to increased travel times between mothers

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is an age-related cause of vision loss, and the most common repeat expansion-mediated disease in humans characterised to date.Up to 80% of European FECD cases have been attributed to expansion of a non-coding CTG repeat element (termed CTG18.1) located within the ubiquitously expressed transcription factor
