2 Miller, Joel Steven[Cyanil]2 2- dimers possess long, two-electron ten-center (2e-/10c) multicenter bondingA long, two-electron ten-center (2e-/10c) [8 carbon plus 2 oxygen] bond in diamagnetic dimers of radical-anion tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinoneide (cyanil, [Q]2 2-, is described by B2LYP and CASSCF92,2)/MCQDPT calculations.Carbon bonds; Cyanil2008
3 Carter, JohnA collective approach to harness idle resourcesWe propose a collective approach for harnessing the idle resources (cpu, storage, and bandwidth) of nodes (e.g., home desktops) distributed across the Internet. Instead of a purely peer-to-peer (P2P) approach, we organize participating nodes to act collectively using collective managers (CMs). Pa...Idle resources; Computer nodes2008

6 Mathews, V. John; Nilsson, MichaelAdaptive gain processing to improve feedback cancellation in digital hearing aidsAdaptive filters are commonly used to cancel acoustic feedback in hearing aids. The sound quality of hearing aids deteriorates as the hearing aid gain is increased. This paper presents a method to alter the gain function in digital hearing aids to provide additional amplification and better output ...2008
7 Paiva, Marie Clare P.Adventures in an Ethiopian libraryDuring my sabbatical time from mid-September 2007 to mid-March 2008, I worked as a volunteer librarian at Addis Ababa University (AAU) in the Institute of Ethiopian Studies Library (IESL) on a collection development project in Ethiopia.University libraries; Collection development; Ethiopian studies2008
8 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshAn interface aware guided search method for error-trace justification in large protocolsMany complex concurrent protocols that cannot be formally verified due to state explosion can often be formally verified by initially creating a collection of abstractions (overapproximations), and subsequently refining the overapproximated protocol in response to spurious counterexample traces. ...Concurrent protocols; Verification; Error-trace justification2008

11 Krensky, BethArts-based service-learning: a state of the fieldOver the past two decades, there has been significant academic and public discourse in the United States regarding matters of civic engagement, with particular interest in the behavioral trends demonstrated by young people. Research shows that in the US, young people demonstrated the lowest voti...2008
12 Tasdizen, Tolga; Foster, Norman L.Automatic classification of alzheimer's desease vs. frontotemporal dementia: a spatial decision tree aprroach with FDG-PETWe introduce a novel approach for the automatic classification of FDG-PET scans of subjects with Alzheimers Disease (AD) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Unlike previous work in the literature which focuses on principal component analysis and predefined regions of interest, we propose the combined...2008
13 Freire, JulianaAutomatically extracting form labelsWe describe a machine-learning-based approach for extracting attribute labels from Web form interfaces. Having these labels is a requirement for several techniques that attempt to retrieve and integrate data that reside in online databases and that are hidden behind form interfaces, including schema...Learning classifiers2008
14 Davis, AlAutomating the design of embedded domain specific acceleratorsDomain specific architecture (DSA) design currently involves a lengthy process that requires significant designer knowledge, experience, and time in arriving at a suitable code generator and architecture for the target application suite. Given the stringent time to market constraints and the dyna...Domain specific architecture; Stall cycle analysis; SCA; Domain specific accelerators2008
15 Tiwari, AshutoshBand-gap engineering of Zn1-xGaxO nanopowders: synthesis, structural and optical characterizationsWe report the preparation and detailed structural and optical characterizations of single phase gallium doped ZnO nanopowders. A low temperature solution-based technique was developed to synthesize high-purity Zn1−xGaxO (x:0-0.05) nanopowders. Structural and optical characterization experiments we...Zinc gallium oxide; ZnGaO; Nanopowders; Band-gap engineering2008
16 Kraus, Peter L.Boys from the Brooklyn Museum venture to ZionThe Brooklyn Museum is the second largest museum in New York City, and one of the largest in the United States. Although now known primarily as an art museum, prior to the Second World War, the Museum pursued an aggressive acquisition policy in the field of Natural History and Archeology. Various me...Naturalist; Engelhard, George P.; Entomology2008
17 Agarwal, NiveditaBrain function monitoring during off-pump cardiac surgery: a case reportBackground: Early postoperative stroke is an adverse syndrome after coronary bypass surgery. This report focuses on overcoming of cerebral ischemia as a result of haemodynamic instability during heart enucleation in off-pump procedure. Case presentation: A 67 year old male patient, Caucasian race, ...2008
18 Battin, Margaret P.C. G. Prado, choosing to die: elective death and multiculturalismThe central practical issue that this thorough, stimulating, and important book addresses is whether suicide can be rational in the context of terminal illness. Answers to this issue can be readily formulated in the familiar context of western political thought, with its liberal paradigm of autonomy...2008
19 Stevens, KennethCapacitive ionic current measurement in a polymer-electrolyte transistorOrganic transistors that use dissolved ions to conduct current are able to reproduce the current-voltage characteristics of semiconductor transistors. The polymer-electrolyte transistor (PET) consists of a three-source acid-base reaction system, where a polymer gel separates the three source electro...2008
20 Jorgensen, Erik; Schuske, Kimberly R.CAPS and syntaxin dock dense core vesicles to the plasma membrane in neuronsDocking to the plasma membrane prepares vesicles for rapid release. Here, we describe a mechanism for dense core vesicle docking in neurons. In Caenorhabditis elegons motor neurons, dense core vesicles dock at the plasma membrane but are excluded from active zones at synapses.2008
21 Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S.Cervical end of an occipitocervical fusion: a biomechanical evaluation of 3 constructsObject. Stabilization with rigid screw/rod fixation is the treatment of choice for craniocervical disorders requiring operative stabilization. The authors compare the relative immediate stiffness for occipital plate fixation in concordance with transarticular screw fixation (TASF), C-1 lateral mass...Harms technique; Occipitocervical fusion; Transarticular screw; Translaminar screw; Craniocervical instability2008
22 Adler, Robert W.Changing the Law-Science Paradigm for Colorado River RestorationLegal mandates and scientific realities conflict when existing legal principles do not match the realities and limits of current science. Those conflicts can be addressed if scientists communicate the limits of existing scientific capabilities and if the legal system responds accordingly2008
23 Clayton, Dale H.; Bush, Sarah ElizabethComparative transmission dynamics of competing parasite speciesCompetition-colonization trade-off models explain the coexistence of competing species in terms of a trade-off between competitive ability and the ability to colonize competitor-free patches of habitat. A simple prediction of these models is that inferior competitors will be superior dispersers.

24 Couldwell, William T.; Gillespie, David L.; Jensen, Randy L.Comparison of the cell lines used in meningoma researchBackground: Immortal cell lines and cell lines derived from operative specimens transplanted into animal models are used in meningioma research. We address two criticisms of the mouse xenograft flank tumor model: Why are tumor induction rates derived from operative specimens low and inconsistent? Ar...CH-157 MN; IOMM-Lee; Meningioma; Xenograft Mouse Model; Flank tumors2008
25 Harpending, Henry C.; Jorde, Lynn B.Culture creates genetic structure in the Caucasus: autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-chromosomal variation in DaghestanNear the junction of three major continents, the Caucasus region has been an important thoroughfare for human migration.
