51 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinion) - academic libraries and the "Arming America" problem: a response to Steve McKinzieMcKinzie is careful in his recommendations: although he is deeply concerned about the "host of unwary readers" who may find in the stacks "a terribly misleading book that bases its arguments on fabricated data and deliberately misconstrued research," he emphasizes at the same time that he is not su...2009
52 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion) Is the library collection too risky?Like many (maybe even most) of my colleagues, I've been thinking a lot lately about low to allocate a suddenly diminished materials budget. Only a year ago our biggest worry was how to deal with serials inflation in an environment that offered insufficient budget increases.2009
53 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): the journal issue and the record album: two fundamentally irrational information productsOver the past few years I've become more and more convinced that the scholarly information world has a lot to learn from the music industry. Not so much from what the latter is doing either right or wrong, but from what has happened to it over the past 100 years, how it has happened, and why. From ...2009
54 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinon): What's your problem? (and what's mine?)Academic libraries are in a tough situation, there's no question about it. We're beset on two sides, and it's almost as if the two sides had coordinated their attacks. From one side, attacking us with a gentle smile and a two-edged sword, is Google, which wasn't satisfied with being the single easi...2009
55 Yu, ZhouImmigrants and housing markets in mid-size metropolitan areasThe recent trend of immigrants arriving in mid-size metropolitan areas has received growing attention in the literature. This study examines the success of immigrants in the housing markets of a sample 60 metropolitan areas using Census microdata in both 2000 and 2005. The results suggest that immig...2009
56 Kestle, John R. W.; Simon, Tamara DanielleInfection rates following initial cerebrospinal fluid shunt placement across pediatric hospitals in the United StatesObject. Reported rates of CSF shunt infection vary widely across studies. The study objective was to determine the CSF shunt infection rates after initial shunt placement at multiple US pediatric hospitals. The authors hypothesized that infection rates between hospitals would vary widely even after ...Shunt placement; Pediatric neurosurgery2009
57 Henderson, Thomas C.; Cohen, ElaineInnate theories as a basis for autonomous mental developmentSloman (in robotics), Chomsky and Pinker (in natural language), and others, e.g., Rosenberg (in human cooperative behavior) have proposed that some abstract theories relevant to cognitive activity are encoded genetically in humans. The biological advantages of this are (1) to reduce the learning ...Autonomous mental development2009
58 Mitchell, Joyce A.Integrating genetic information resources with an EHRThe integration between the electronic health record (HER) and on0line information resources, using tools such as "infobuttons", is considered a promising solution to fulfill clinicians' information needs at the point-of-care. This article describes the implementation of "infobutton" links from a...Electronic health record; HER; Infobutton links; Genetics Home Reference; GHR; GeneTests; Genetic information resources; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
59 Balasubramonian, RajeevInterference aware cache designs for operating system executionLarge-scale chip multiprocessors will likely be heterogeneous. It has been suggested by several groups that it may be worthwhile to implement some cores that are specially tuned to execute common code patterns. One such common application that will execute on all future processors is of course the ...Interference aware; Cache designs; Off-loading2009
60 Freire, JulianaIntroducing the VisTrails Provenance Explorer Plugin for ParaViewIn order to analyze and validate various hypotheses, it is necessary to create insightful visualizations of both the simulated processes and observed phenomena, using powerful data analysis and visualization tools like ParaView. But to explore data through visualization, scientists need to go thro...VisTrails; Provenance; ParaView2009
61 Mallat, ChibliIntroduction a la pensee de Robert FossaertCette introduction est surtout un appel, pour paraphraser Althusser sur Marx (<< II faut lire Le Capital, et se mettre au travail) a un bon usage de Fossaert : II faut lire La Societe, et se mettre au travail . Le lecteur trouvera une lucarne de l'universalisme de Fossaert dans la section du b...2009
62 Christensen, Douglas A.Introduction to biomedical engineering: biomechanics and bioelectricity - part IIntended as an introduction to the field of biomedical engineering, this book covers the topics of biomechanics (Part I) and bioelectricity (Part II). Each chapter emphasizes a fundamental principle or law, such as Darcy's Law, Poiseuille's Law, Hooke's Law, Starling's law, levers and work in the a...Biological membranes; Poiseuille's law; Hooke's law; Starling's law of the heart; Matlab2009

66 Zhou, XuesongLagrangian relaxation based approach for finding the most reliable path with and without link travel time correlationThis presentation proposes a new method for finding the most reliable path with and without link travel time correlation.Shortest path; Travel time reliability; Link travel time correlation; Lagrangian relaxation2009
67 Riloff, Ellen M.Learning and evaluating the content and structure of a term taxonomyIn this paper, we describe a weakly supervised bootstrapping algorithm that reads Web texts and learns taxonomy terms. The bootstrapping algorithm starts with two seed words (a seed hypernym (Root concept) and a seed hyponym) that are inserted into a doubly anchored hyponym pattern. In alternatin...Weakly supervised; Bootstrapping algorithm; Seed hypernym; Seed hyponym; Root concept; Term taxonomy; Learning by reading systems2009
68 Millgram, ElijahLiberty, the higher pleasures, and Mill's missing science of ethnic jokesThe intended contribution to his moral theory of John Stuart Mill's famous distinction between higher and lower pleasures has occasioned long-standing puzzlement on the part of his more alert interpreters. I am going to explain how the distinction was meant, among other things, to allow Mill to demo...Higher pleasures; Lower pleasures; Ethnic jokes2009

71 Dailey, Andrew T.Magnesium efficacy in a rat spinal cord injury modelObject. Magnesium has been shown to have neuroprotective properties in short-term spinal cord injury (SCI) studies. The authors evaluated the efficacy of magnesium, methylprednisolone, and magnesium plus methylprednisolone in a rat SCI model. Methods. A moderate-to-severe SCI was produced at T9-10 ...Methylprednisolone; Spinal cord injury; Rat model2009
72 Jalili, ThunderMammalian target of rapamycin Is a critical regulator of cardiac hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive ratsEvidence exists that protein kinase C and the mammalian target of rapamycin are important regulators of cardiac hypertrophy. We examined the contribution of these signaling kinases to cardiac growth in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Systolic blood pressure was increased (P<0.001) at 10 wee...2009

74 Yu, ZhouMisleading comparisons of homeownership rates between groups and over time: the effects of variable household formationDespite ominous signs of housing market stress, the homeownership rate reached an all time high in 2006. We seek to understand whether the conventional definition of homeownership, which is based on the share of households and ignores the effects of variable household formation, has confounded the a...2009
75 Ogburn, Joyce L.Moderately risky business challenging librarians to assume more risk in an era of opportunityOne may not readily associate risk with librarianship; however, librarians deal with risk every day and in all parts of the profession. Acquisition functions, for example, include the risks associated with managing budgets and processes, producing appropriate audit trails, predicting and acting on p...2009
