Data set of extensive information on the changing circumstances of aged and disabled beneficiaries - Living, noninstitutionalized population of the continental United States from the Social Security Administration''''s Master Benefit Record who were new recipients of Social Security benefits (first payment in mid-1980 through mid-1981) or who had established entitlement to Medicare and were eligible for, but had not received, Social Security benefits as of July 1982. Based initially on a national cross-sectional survey of new beneficiaries in 1982, the original data base was expanded with information from administrative records and a second round of interviews in 1991. Variables measured in the original New Beneficiary Survey (NBS) include demographic characteristics; employment, marital, and childbearing histories; household composition; health; income and assets; program knowledge; and information about the spouses of married respondents. The 1991 New Beneficiary Follow-up (NBF) updated marital status, household composition, and the economic profile and contains additional sections on family contacts, postretirement employment, effects of widowhood and divorce, major reasons for changes in economic status, a more extensive section on health, and information on household moves and reasons for moving. Disabled-worker beneficiaries were also asked about their efforts to return to work, experiences with rehabilitation services, and knowledge of SSA work incentive provisions. The NBDS also links to administrative files of yearly covered earnings from 1951 to 1992, Medicare expenditures from 1984 to 1999, whether an SSI application has ever been made and payment status at five points in time, and dates of death as of spring 2001. For studies of health, the Medicare expenditure variables include inpatient hospital costs, outpatient hospital costs, home health care costs, and physicians'''' charges. The survey data cover functional capacity including ADLs and IADLs. For studies of work in retirement, the survey includes yearly information on extent of work, characteristics of the current or last job, and reasons for working or not working. No other data set has such detailed baseline survey data of a population immediately after retirement or disability, enhanced with subsequent measures over an extended period of time. The data are publicly available through NACDA and the Social Security Administration Website. * Dates of Study: 1982-1991 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: ** 18,136 (NBS 1981) ** 12,677 (NBF 1991) Links: * 1982 (ICPSR): http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/08510 * 1991 (ICPSR): http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06118

The goal of this follow-up study of mothers who participated in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (HAPO) study is to determine the levels of blood sugar during pregnancy that are linked to increased body fat in the child, as well as to determine the chances of a mother developing diabetes 8-12 years after the pregnancy. The original study examined 23,316 mother-child pairs, and researchers determined that the hyperglycemia of a mother was linked to newborn birth weight and body fat. HAPO-FUS will enroll 7,000 or the original HAPO mother-child pairs for one follow-up visit to assess body composition, blucose metabolism, medical history, and other metabolic parameters.

Since its inception in 1951, the fermentation facility''s goal has been to provide affordable fermentation services to a highly diverse client base. Completely renovated in 2011 the fermentation facility, which meets BL2-LS containment requirements, is comprised of four contiguous operation units: -Material Preparation Laboratory -Fermentation In-Process -Computer Control -Product Recovery Room Bio-reactor working capacities range from 10 to 800 liters. All systems are computer controlled with algorithm-based cascade-capable PID programming. In the recovery room, downstream processing includes: -Centrifugation -Filtration -Micro and Ultra-filtration -Cell Disruption With the advantage of having the world''s pharmaceutical industry in its backyard, a productive climate of industrial liaison has been the historical legacy of the facility. Many former facility students and graduates hold positions within the industry. www.waksman.rutgers.edu/fermentation/home

http://www.census.gov/population/international/data/idb/informationGateway.php

A computerized data set of demographic, economic and social data for 227 countries of the world. Information presented includes population, health, nutrition, mortality, fertility, family planning and contraceptive use, literacy, housing, and economic activity data. Tabular data are broken down by such variables as age, sex, and urban/rural residence. Data are organized as a series of statistical tables identified by country and table number. Each record consists of the data values associated with a single row of a given table. There are 105 tables with data for 208 countries. The second file is a note file, containing text of notes associated with various tables. These notes provide information such as definitions of categories (i.e. urban/rural) and how various values were calculated. The IDB was created in the U.S. Census Bureau''s International Programs Center (IPC) to help IPC staff meet the needs of organizations that sponsor IPC research. The IDB provides quick access to specialized information, with emphasis on demographic measures, for individual countries or groups of countries. The IDB combines data from country sources (typically censuses and surveys) with IPC estimates and projections to provide information dating back as far as 1950 and as far ahead as 2050. Because the IDB is maintained as a research tool for IPC sponsor requirements, the amount of information available may vary by country. As funding and research activity permit, the IPC updates and expands the data base content. Types of data include: * Population by age and sex * Vital rates, infant mortality, and life tables * Fertility and child survivorship * Migration * Marital status * Family planning Data characteristics: * Temporal: Selected years, 1950present, projected demographic data to 2050. * Spatial: 227 countries and areas. * Resolution: National population, selected data by urban/rural * residence, selected data by age and sex. Sources of data include: * U.S. Census Bureau * International projects (e.g., the Demographic and Health Survey) * United Nations agencies Links: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/08490
