Multiplex DNA Typing of Short-Tandem-Repeat Loci on the Y Chromosome
(De Gruyter, 1997-08)To facilitate evolutionary and forensic studies of DNA polymorphisms on the Y chromosome, we devised a multiplex amplification procedure for short-tandemrepeat (STR) loci. Four tetranucleotide STR loci (DYS19, DYS390, ... -
Infant Mortality Patterns in Åland, Finland
(Wayne State University Press, 1983-02)Infant mortality in Åland, Finland, from 1751 to 1935 is examined. The 18th and early 19th century rates in Åland were more characteristic of Eastern European populations than Western Europe or England. A steady decline ... -
Temporal Trends in Migration in the Åland Islands: Effects of Population Size and Geographic Distance
(Wayne State University Press, 1994-06)Using a model developed by Relethford (1992), we assess temporal trends (1750-1949) in marital migration in the Aland Islands, Finland, in relation to both geographic distance and population size. The 200-year time period ... -

PTC Taste Threshold Distributions and Age in Mennonite Populations
(Wayne State University Press, 1982-09)A number of studies report an impairment of the genetically inherited ability to taste PTC as a function of age, but ignore the cumulative effect of smoking on taste deterioration. This study examines the effect of aging ... -
Neuromuscular Performance in a Kansas Mennonite Community: Age and Sex Effects in Performance
