Johnston, Susan S. | Beginning augmentative communication systems | To be unable to produce communicative behavior that can be understood by others represents one of the most frustrating experiences imaginable. Communicating through a communication board or with gestures lessens this frustration but does not eliminate it. Since 1975, remarkable advances have been ma... | Intervention; Challenging behavior; Symbols | 1992 |

Miller, Jan D. | The behavior of arsenic trioxide in non-ferrous extractive metallurgical processing | Study of the acid bake-leach process has shown potential advantages for the treatment of enargite (Cu3AsS4) concentrates. Among the most important advantages of the process is the transformation of enargite to water-soluble copper sulfate and highly soluble arsenic trioxide (arsenolite). Because ars... | 2014-01-01 | |

Codding, Brian | Behavioral ecology and the future of archaeological science | The future of archaeological science relies as much (if not more) on theoretical as on methodological developments. As with anything in biology, explaining past human behavior will require the application of evolutionary theory. As with anything in archaeology, theory is useless without clear ties t... | 2015-01-01 | |

Yaffe, Joanne | Behaviorism, social learning, and exchange theory | Behaviorism focuses on learning and the way in which behavior is shaped by its antecedent conditions and consequences. In rejecting mentalistic constructs such as mind, consciousness, and other internal processes, behaviorism stresses the importance of studying observable behavior rather than pheno... | 2006 | |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Below-gap excitation of ∏-conjugated polymer-fullerene blends: implications for bulk organic heterojunction solar cells | We used a variety of optoelectronic techniques such as broadband fs transient and cw photomodulation spectroscopies, electroabsorption, and short-circuit photocurrent in bulk heterojunctions organic solar cells for studying the photophysics in ∏-conjugated polymer-fullerene blends with below-gap... | pi-conjugated polymers; Fullerene blends; Below-gap excitations; Bulk heterojunctions; Bulk organic heterojunction solar cells; Photophysics | 2008-07 |

Miller, Jan D. | Bench scale flotation of alunite ore with oleic acid | Alunite [KA13(SO4)2(OH)6] is a promising non-bauxitic aluminum resource, the domestic reserves of which are estimated to be 800 x 106 tons at 35 percent alunite. The major gangue mineral associated with alunite is quartz. The thermochemical process that has been developed for treatment of this ore... | Mesh; Separation; Liberation | 1980 |

Miller, Jan D. | Bench scale flotation of sedimentary phosphate rock with hydroxamic acid collectors | It has been discovered that water insoluble alcoholic solutions of alkyl hydroxamic acids serve as selective collectors for the flotation of phosphate mineral resources. The effectiveness of the new collector chemistry has been demonstrated by the results from single stage bench scale flotation exp... | Flotation; Insoluble collectors; Hydroxamic acid; Alcohol; Phosphate rock; High solids conditioning; Particle size | 2002 |

Liu, Feng | Bending of nanoscale thin Si film induced by growth of Ge islands: hut vs. dome | We perform atomistic simulations to compute bending of freestanding nanoscale thin Si film induced by strained Ge islands. We show that a larger Ge dome island can induce smaller bending than a smaller hut island and explain the surprising experimental observation for growth of Ge islands on pattern... | Bending; Nanoscale thin Si film; Ge islands; Hut islands; Dome islands; Atomistic simulations | 2004 |

Liu, Feng | Bending of nanoscale ultrathin substrates by growth of strained thin films and islands | Mechanical bending is ubiquitous in heteroepitaxial growth of thin films where the strained growing film applies effectively an "external" stress to bend the substrate. Conventionally, when the deposited film is much thinner than the substrate, the bending increases linearly with increasing film th... | Nanoscale ultrathin substrates; Strained thin films; Islands; Heteroepitaxial growth; Si substrate; Ge film | 2005-08 |

Goldberg, Robert A. | Beneath the hood and robe: a socioeconomic analysis of Ku Klux Klan membership in Denver, Colorado, 1921-1925 | The Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was in numbers and political influence the most powerful social movement of the 1920s and probably the most significant crusade of the American right-wing. Unlike its predecessor of the Reconstruction period or its descendant of today, this Kla... | 1980 | |

Coley, Phyllis D. | Beneficios y costos de defensa en un arbusto del neotrópico | LOS beneficios y costos son de importancia capital para las teorfas de optimization de las defensas de las plantas.

Hobson-Rohrer, Wendy L. | Benefits and Barriers of Interprofessional Education Beyond the Classroom | Medical schools need to include interprofessional education (IPE) in their curricula not only to meet accreditation standards but to optimize students' readiness to practice in today's team-based heathcare environment. This is most often accomplished in classroom settings. | Interprofessional Education; Team-Based Patient Cre; Collaboration | 2020 |

Coley, Phyllis D. | Benefits and costs of defense in a neotropical shrub | Benefits and costs are central to optimality theories of plant defense. Benefit is the gain in fitness to reducing herbivory and cost is the loss in fitness to committing resources to defense. We evaluate the benefits and costs of defense in a neotropical shrub, Psychotria horizontalis. Plants were ... | Cost of defense; Growth-defense trade-off; Exclosures; Field experiment; Herbivory; Panama; Psychotria horizontalis; Rubiaceae; Tannins; Toughness; Tropics | 1995 |

Chachas, Mary | Better resolution | There's hardly anyone around today who is not familiar with the ultrasound image of a baby in the uterus.
