1426 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Hillyard, David R.ConotoxinsMany successful animal and plant families have developed distinctive biochemical strategies; one of the more unusual examples is found in a group of marine gastropods, the cone snails (Conus) (1). These animals have evolved a specialized biochemistry of small constrained peptides, the conotoxins. Th...Conotoxins1991
1427 Potts, Wayne K.Consequences of self and foreign superantigen interaction with specific VB elements of the murine TCR aBThe aB T-cell receptor (TCRaB) recognizes a ligand composed of an antigen fragment complexed with a product of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The repertoire of receptors is limited both by the germ line of receptor variable elements and by selective events that take place during T-cell ...Toxins; Repertoire; Expression1989
1428 Codding, BrianConservation or co-evolution? Intermediate levels of aboriginal burning and hunting have positive effects on kangaroo populations in Western AustraliaStudies of conservation in small scale societies typically portray indigenous peoples as either sustainably managing resources, or forsaking long-term sustainability for short-term gains. To explain this variability, we propose an alternative framework derived from a co-evolutionary perspective. In ...2014-01-01
1429 Beckerle, Mary C.; Clark, Kathleen A.Conserved LIM protein that affects muscular adherens junction integrity and mechanosensory function in Caenorhabditis elegansWe describe here the molecular and functional characterization of the Caenorhabditis elegans unc-97 gene, whose gene product constitutes a novel component of muscular adherens junctions. UNC-97 and homologues from several other species define the PINCH family, a family of LIM proteins whose modula...LIM domains; Caenorhabditis elegans; UNC-97; Adherens junction; Touch neuron; Muscle development1999
1430 Hartmann, Donald P.Considerations in the choice of interobserver reliability estimatesTwo types of interobserver reliability values may be needed in treatment studies in which observers constitute the primary data-acquisition system: trial reilability and the reliability of the composite unit or score which is subsequently analyzed, e.g., daily or weekly session totals. Two approache...Observational technology; Reliability; Validity; Statistics; Recording and measurement techniques; Cohen's kappa; Generalizability theory; Measurement theory; Spearman-Brown prophesy formula; Correlational measures1977
1431 Johnston, Susan S.Considering response efficiency as a strategy to prevent assistive technology abandonmentOften, specialists in the field of Assistive Technology (AT) are presented with the challenge of teaching learners to utilize AT in order to increase, maintain, or improve their capabilities. Despite best efforts, rates of AT abandonment are alarmingly high. Understanding the factors that may infl...Assistive technology; Training; Disabled people2005
1432 Lindstrom, Gary E.CONSIM: a converstional simulation language implemented through interpretive control self-modelingThis paper describes an implementation technique termed interpretive control self-modeling (ICSM) and outlines its application in the implementation of CONSIM, a prototype conversational simulation language. ICSM may be defined as the use of a higher-level programming language (HLL) to specify its o...CONSIM; Converstional simulation language; Interpretive control self-modeling; ICSM1977
1433 Lindstrom, Gary E.Consistency and currency in functional databasesWe consider a hybrid model of databases, in which a functional component T is defined as an extension to an imperative component B. T. is loosely coupled to B through a highly parallel function network N. which provides a simple failsafe test of whether an existing assignment of values to a given vi...Functional databases1982
1434 Dong, JiaweiConsolidation and permeability of flocculated kaolinite sedimentVast oil sand resources are located in the province of Alberta, Canada, where water-based oil sands extraction operations are found including extraction and separation of the bitumen from the clay, sand, and water. The production of each barrel of synthetic crude oil (SCO) requires 2 m3 of processe...consolidation; flocculation; kaolinite; permeability2017
1435 Landesman, Margaret M.Consortia vs reform: creating congruenceThe inability of research libraries to offer the collections their users desire has become more pronounced each year. In response, libraries have moved in two directions: the rapidly growing consortial movement and the movement to advocate and support reforms in scholarly communication. However, if ...2000
1436 Cohen, ElaineConstant scallop height tool path generationAn approach for the automatic generation of constant scallop height tool paths is presented. An example is shown generated from a B-spline model, although it can be used with many types of sculptured surfaces. The approach utilizes surface subdivision techniques and a new algorithm for tool path gen...Scallop height; Tool path generation; B-spline model1989
1437 Mallat, ChibliThe Constitutional Crisis in Iraq: What Can the Federal Supreme Court Do?Contemplate the ongoing deadlock in Iraq following French historian Fernand Braudel's classification of two spans of time, two durées. One is the longue durée: how does the Federal Supreme Court (FSC), and the Iraqi judiciary in general, shape the rule of law for the Iraqi citizen, and for the bod...2010-09-02
1438 Flynn, John J.Constitutional difficulties of Utah's executive branch and the need for reformUtah's constitution of 1896 has been aptly described as a "horse and buggy" constitution. Like most of her sister states, Utah adopted a constitution designed to accommodate a society accustomed to the nineteenth century pace of a horse and buggy at the very time that the industrial revolution was l...Utah, Constitution; Executive branch1966
1439 Gerig, GuidoConstrained data decomposition and regression for analyzing healthy aging from fiber tract diffusion propertiesIt has been shown that brain structures in normal aging undergo significant changes attributed to neurodevelopmental and neurodegeneration processes as a lifelong, dynamic process. Modeling changes in healthy aging will be necessary to explain differences to neurodegenerative patterns observed in m...2009-01-01
1440 Hansen, Charles D.Constrained inverse volume rendering for planetary nebulaeDetermining the three-dimensional structure of distant astronomical objects is a challenging task, given that terrestrial observations provide only one viewpoint. For this task, bipolar planetary nebulae are interesting objects of study because of their pronounced axial symmetry due to fundamental p...Volume rendering; Axial symmetry2004
1441 Nelson, DonaldConstraint Jacobians for constant-time inverse kinematics and assembly optimizationAn algorithm for the constant-time solution of systems of geometric constraint equations is presented in this work. constraint equations and their Jacobians may be used in conjunction with other numerical methods to solve for a variety of kinematics, dynamics, and assembly optimization problems. The...Constant-time; Inverse kinematics; Constraint Jacobians1998

1450 Francis, LeslieConsumer expectations and access to health careAmericans-some of them at least-enjoy a remarkable range of expectations about their health care. They have come to rely on free choice of physicians, on autonomy and the doctrine of informed consent to care, on the belief that they can get the best care money can buy, on the assumption that resourc...Consumer expectations1992
