Predicting inorganic dimensionality in templated metal oxides.

Amine-templated metal oxides are a class of hybrid organic-inorganic compounds with great structural diversity; by varying the compositions, 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D inorganic dimensionalities can be achieved. In this work, we created a dataset of 3725 amine-templated metal oxides (including some metalloid oxides), their composition, amine identity, and dimensionality, extracted from the Cambridge Structure Database (CSD), which spans 71 elements, 25 main group building units, and 349 amines. We characterize the diversity of this dataset over reactants and in time.

Correlates of everyday choice and support-related choice for 8,892 randomly sampled adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in 19 states.

This article examines everyday choices made by 8,892 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and support-related choices made by 6,179 adults with IDD receiving services from 19 state developmental disabilities program agencies that participated in the 2008-2009 National Core Indicators Project. Controlling for physical and sensory impairment, age, behavioral support, communication, and state, people in residential settings with 16 or more people had less everyday choice than those in other living arrangements. People with mild and moderate IDD had more control over everyday choices when living in their own homes, whereas people with severe and profound IDD had more control when living in agency homes of 3 or fewer residents.

Place of residence and preventive health care for intellectual and developmental disabilities services recipients in 20 states.

Objective: We identified trends in the receipt of preventive health care by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by type of residential setting.

Methods: We used data from the 2008-2009 collection round of the National Core Indicators (NCI) program. Participating states drew random samples of adults receiving developmental disabilities services.

Demographic characteristics, health conditions, and residential service use in adults with Down syndrome in 25 U.S. states.

This study describes service users with Down syndrome (N = 1,199) and a comparative sample with intellectual and developmental disabilities but not Down syndrome (N = 11,182), drawn from National Core Indicator surveys of adult service users in 25 U.S. states.

Overweight and obesity among adults with intellectual disabilities who use intellectual disability/developmental disability services in 20 U.S. States.

The authors compare the prevalence of obesity for National Core Indicators (NCI) survey participants with intellectual disability and the general U.S. adult population.

Individuals with Intellectual disabilities and augmentative and alternative communication: Analysis of survey data on uptake of aided AAC, and loneliness experiences.

This study describes uptake of augmentative and alternative communication systems by adults with intellectual disabilities; their ability to self-report at interview; differences in self-reported loneliness experiences by communication mode; and predictors of loneliness. We analyzed National Core Indicators data from 26 US states involving over 13,000 service users grouped by primary means of expression: natural speech, gestures/body language, manual signs, or communication aid/device (aided AAC). Uptake of aided AAC was low; only 0.
