    • Information Asymmetries in Consumer Credit Markets 
      Skiba, Paige Marta; Dobbie, Will (American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2013)
      This paper tests for incentive and selection effects in a subprime consumer credit market. We estimate the incentive effect of loan size on default using sharp discontinuities in loan eligibility rules. This allows us to ...
    • Information Context in Geocollaborative Interfaces 
      Hooten, Eli Raward (2014-04-14)
      Department: Computer Science
      Information context places individual observations into the context of an environment and provides additional meaning to disjoint information. Information context is used to form an overall awareness from independent ...
    • Information Retrieval in Clinical Chart Reviews 
      Ye, Cheng (2019-03-26)
      Department: Computer Science
      Medical researchers rely on chart reviews, in which a user manually goes through a large number of electronic medical records (EMRs), to search for evidence to answer a specific medical question. Unfortunately, scrolling ...
    • Information Spillover and Economic Development 
      Jiang, Nien-Huei (Vanderbilt University, 2000)
      This paper explores a new aspect of the relationship between backwardness and growth, "information spillover". If solving problems is a source of economic growth, then knowing which problems have been solved is per se ...
    • Information technology implementation: what works and what does not 
      Statnikova, Kristina N (2005-04-27)
      Department: Management of Technology
      This research explores the process of information system (IS) failure to understand how various organizational, users, technology, and implementation factors influence IS acceptance. The topic of IS implementation is ...
    • Informational Regulation of Consumer Health Risks: An Empirical Evaluation of Hazard Warnings 
      Viscusi, W. Kip; Magat, Wesley A.; Huber, Joel (The RAND Journal of Economics, 1986)
      On the basis of data from a survey of almost 400 consumers, this article assesses whether consumer behavior is responsive to information about product hazards that is provided in response to regulation. We find that the ...
    • Infrared neural stimulation of Aplysia californica 
      Gault, Melanie Ann (2011-08-08)
      Department: Biomedical Engineering
      Infrared neural stimulation (INS) has been shown to induce neural activity with spatial selectivity without inducing a stimulation artifact or necessitating tissue contact. Most experiments with this technology have been ...
    • Infrared neural stimulation of thalamocortical brain slices in vitro 
      Cayce, Jonathan Matthew (2008-05-05)
      Department: Biomedical Engineering
      Neural stimulation using infrared light has recently been characterized as a novel method to stimulate peripheral nerves without touching, causing damage, or inducing an electrical stimulation artifact. Infrared neural ...
    • Ingrid Betancourt talks about FARC 
      Betancourt, Ingrid, 1961- (Vanderbilt University, 2010-11-29)
    • Inherited Behaviour in Wilkie Collins's The Legacy of Cain: Victorian Studies and Twenty-First-Century Science Policy 
      Clayton, Jay, 1951- (19 Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century, 2008-10)
      The Legacy of Cain (1888), the last novel Wilkie Collins published before his death, is structured as a case study of the respective influences of nature and nurture. The central question is whether the daughter of a ...
    • Inhibition and monitoring of saccadic eye movements in schizophrenia 
      Thakkar, Katharine Natasha (2012-07-19)
      Department: Psychology
      Cognitive dysfunction is a core feature of schizophrenia, but the precise nature of these deficits has yet to be delineated. The goal of the following series of experiments was to advance our understanding of two particular ...
    • Inhibition of Diacylglycerol Lipase Impairs Fear Extinction in Mice

    • Inhibition of GABA Initiates Retina Regeneration in the Zebrafish 
      Rao, Mahesh Badeti (2016-07-27)
      Department: Biological Sciences
      Retina damage or disease in humans often leads to reactive gliosis, preventing the formation of new cells and resulting in visual impairment or blindness. Currently, treatments are being developed to stimulate repair or ...
    • Inhibition of LSD1 as a Therapeutic Strategy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia 
      Johnston, Gretchen Dawn; 0000-0001-5626-1689 (2020-07-20)
