"Asset Poverty in The United States: Its Persistence in an Expansionary Economy"
No full textFrom this paper's Preface, by Dr. Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, President: Economic growth and a rising stock market in the 1990s gave the impression that everyone was accumulating wealth and asset poverty rates were declining. The impression was supported by the official, income-based poverty measure, which exhibited a sharp decline. According to Senior Scholar Edward N. Wolff and Research Scholar Asena Caner, poverty measures should include wealth as well as income. Their study of asset poverty in the United States between 1984 and 1999 focuses on the lower end of the wealth distribution and shows that asset poverty rates did not decline during the period studied, and that the severity of poverty increased. It also shows that asset poverty is much more persistent than income poverty.

Waidner-Wolff Shunt Box
No full textEach of the four independent circuits in this shunt box consisted of a Waidner-Wolff 10-step adjustable element or decade. The Waidner-Wolff resistance element was devised at the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) by Charles W. Waidner and Frank A. Wolff in 1902. It consisted of a small fixed resistance shunted by a much larger resistance that was variable by means of a dial switch in 10 unequal steps, selected so that the resultant parallel combination was varied in 10 equal steps. The shunt resistance was infinite for the highest step. This arrangement eliminated the effect of switch-contact resistances from the decade, and permitted construction of decades with steps as small as 1 micro-ohm or as large as 0.1 ohm. Another advantage of the arrangement was the suppression of unnecessary thermal emfs in the circuit. The instrument was purchased from Otto Wolff of Berlin in 1903. It seems likely that in an early application its four circuits were shunted around four graded resistors in one ratio arm of a bridge circuit.[H] 24.5 cm [W] 16 cm [L] 41 cmB.S. 146

The origins of bioengineering and the research challenges in bio-medical engineering today by Emeritus Professor Heinz Wolff
No full textLength: 35 minutes, 44 secondsTuesday 25 April – Brunel Institute for Bioengineering
Founded in 1983 by Professor Heinz Wolff, BIB specialises in
science and engineering for space, health care and contract
work for industry. The institute has developed an international
reputation for its research and innovative developments and
has incubated a number of spin-out companies that are taking
the fruits of its research into the market place.
Professor Heinz Wolff is a German-British scientist, and television and radio presenter. He is best known for his television and radio work, including the TV series The Great Egg Race.
He was born in Berlin, and moved to Britain with his family at the age of ten, arriving on the day World War II broke out. After school, he worked at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford and at the Pneumoconiosis Research Unit near Cardiff, before going to University College London, where he gained a first class honours degree in Physiology and Physics.
He spent much of his early career in bioengineering, a term which he himself coined in 1954 to take account of recent advances in physiology. He became an honorary member of the European Space Agency in 1975, and in 1983 he founded the Brunel Institute for Bioengineering, which is involved in biological research during weightless spaceflight. Wolff was the scientific director and co-founder of Project Juno, the private British-Soviet joint venture which sent Helen Sharman to the Mir space station.
He is now Emeritus Professor of Bioengineering at Brunel University
