Family, school, and behavioral antecedents to early adolescent involvement with antisocial peers.
This study focuses on the prediction of early adolescent involvement with antisocial peers from boys' experiences in school, family, and behavior at age 10. Two hundred and six ...
A face(book) in the crowd
Large numbers of college students have become avid Facebook users in a short period of time. In this paper, we explore whether these students are using Facebook to find new peop...
Charge separation and photovoltaic conversion in polymer composites with internal donor/acceptor heterojunctions
The photosensitivity of semiconducting polymers can be enhanced by blending donor and acceptor polymers to optimize photoinduced charge separation. We describe a novel phase-sep...
Annual Report to the Nation on the Status of Cancer, 1975–2005, Featuring Trends in Lung Cancer, Tobacco Use, and Tobacco Control
Although the decrease in overall cancer incidence and death rates is encouraging, large state and regional differences in lung cancer trends among women underscore the need to m...
The Electronic Structure of Semiconductor Nanocrystals
▪ Abstract We review the rapid progress made in our understanding of the crystal properties of semiconductors and nanocrystals focussing on theoretical results obtained within t...
Graphene Oxidation: Thickness-Dependent Etching and Strong Chemical Doping
Patterned graphene shows substantial potential for applications in future molecular-scale integrated electronics. Environmental effects are a critical issue in a single-layer ma...
Survey Questions: Handcrafting the Standardized Questionnaire
This book reviews the experimental literature on how survey questions behave as well as the lore of professional experience and culls from them those guiding principles and spec...
Tris(2-(1<i>H</i>-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine)cobalt(III) as p-Type Dopant for Organic Semiconductors and Its Application in Highly Efficient Solid-State Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Chemical doping is an important strategy to alter the charge-transport properties of both molecular and polymeric organic semiconductors that find widespread application in orga...
