Data on selection against BALB/c strain cells in mouse chimaeras
No full textThe data are numerical data used to produce Figs. 2, 3 & 4 and Supplementary Tables S1, S2 & S3 in a manuscript entitled "Selection against BALB/c strain cells in mouse chimaeras" by Tang P-C, Mackay GE, Flockhart JH, Keighren MA, Kopakaki A and West JD.
The study seeks to explain why BALB/c strain embryos tend to contribute poorly to mouse aggregation chimaeras. BALB/c cells were not preferentially allocated to any extraembryonic lineages in chimaeras but their contribution decreased between E4.5 and E8.5. The development of BALB/c strain preimplantation embryos lagged behind embryos from some other strains and the contribution that BALB/c and other embryos made to chimaeras correlated with their developmental stage at E2.5. This relationship suggests that the poor contribution of BALB/c embryos to aggregation chimaeras is at least partly a consequence of generalised selection related to slow or delayed preimplantation development
Estimating recent fertility from data on own children : West Malaysia, 1958-67
No full textFor more about the East-West Center, see http://www.eastwestcenter.org/Vital registration, hence knowledge of fertility, remains notoriously deficient in many nations of the world. However, most nations conduct population censuses and surveys which collect information on young children. The paper presents fairly straightforward but not widely used procedures for utilizing such data for estimating recent fertility. The method is illustrated through estimates of fertility from 1958 through 1967 for West Malaysia. The Malaysian vital statistics appear to be complete on the basis of independent checks, and thus provide useful data for comparison with the fertility estimates based on surveys. The data on own children were obtained from the Socio-Economic Survey conducted by the Malaysian Department of Statistics in 1967-68 based on a sample of 20,000 households. The fertility estimates derived from the survey agree closely with those based on vital statistics. When the total fertility rate is taken as a summary measure, the difference between the two kinds of estimates is very small, never exceeding four percent.The own children method of estimating recent fertility can be a powerful technique in countries where (a) the census or survey data on children's ages are reasonably accurate; (b) most of the young children live with their mothers, and their relationships to the head of the family or household are clear; and (c) recent mortality is relatively low. The own children procedures, if carefully employed, will not only generate good estimates of recent fertility trends but also facilitate studies of differential fertility

Franklin C. West Collection. 1909-1997
No full textThis collection holds the research papers of the historian Franklin C. West. The primary subject of this collection is the writing of Emil Ludwig. The collection largely consists of notes and copies of articles relating to Emil Ludwig's writing and works. Other papers found here include correspondence, copies of Emil Ludwig's writing, articles relating to popular biographies, and copies of archival material relating to Emil Ludwig.Franklin C. West is an American scholar whose research is focused on modern German history. He was born in 1934 in Portland, Oregon and is a professor emeritus in the department of history at Portland State University.Emil Ludwig was born in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) in 1881. In the 1920s, he became well-known for his biographies, which combined fact, fiction and psychological analysis; these works earned him international fame, with his novels translated into twenty-five languages. His books were among those burned by the Nazis on May 10, 1933. In 1940, Emil Ludwig immigrated to the United States, where he continued to write. He died in Moscio, Italy in 1948.digitize
