As a result of the government's commitment to developing the covered bond market, banks in th...

[...] advances in reproductive technology have made it possible for many infertile coupies to conceive and bear children.16 In these cases, surrogacy has become a more traditional method.17 There are three types of surrogacy arrangements: traditional surrogacy, gestational surrogacy, and donor surrogacy.18 Traditional surrogacy is an arrangement where a surrogate mother is artificially inseminated with the sperm of the husband or partner of the infertile woman.19 The surrogate carries the fetus to term and then relinquishes parental rights to the natural father and intended mother.20 In traditional surrogacy, the intended mother has no genetic connection with the child.21 As the second type of surrogacy arrangement, gestational surrogacy involves retrieving the intended mother's egg and...

Time-space sampling has been used to generate representative samples of both hard-to-reach and location-based populations. Because of its emphasis on multitiered randomization (i.e., time, space, and individual), some have questioned the feasibility of time-space sampling as a cost-effective strategy. In an effort to better understand issues related to drug use among club-going young adults (ages 18 to 29) in the New York City nightlife scene, two variations of time-space sampling methods were utilized and compared (Version 1: randomized venue, day, and individuals within venues: Version 2: randomized venue and day). A list of nightlife venues were randomized and survey teams approached potential participants as they entered or exited venues to conduct brief anonymous surveys. Over the ...
