104 Sikorski, Christopher; Pardyjak, Eric R.Source characterization of atmospheric releases using quasi-random sampling and regularized gradient optimizationIn the present work, an inversion technique to solve the atmospheric source characterization problem is described. The inverse problem comprises characterizing the source (x, y and z coordinates and the source strength) and the meteorological conditions (wind speed and wind direction) at the sourc...Source characterization; Gaussian plume model; Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC); Regularization; Newton?s method; Line-search; Tikhonov stabilizing functional; Adaptive regularization2009
105 Wever Pinzon, Omar EnriqueSudden cardiac death in young competitive athletes due to genetic cardiac abnormalitiesSudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes is generally caused by inherited cardiac disorders. While these events are relatively few compared to other cardiac deaths, they are tragic in that death occurs in a young, otherwise healthy person. The genetic abnormalities most associated with SCD are h...2009
106 Camp, Nicola J.SumLINK statistic for linkage analysis: application to the ICPCG pooled linkage resourceWe propose a novel, genome-wide, linkagebased statistic, "sumLINK," for identification of disease susceptibility loci. Our approach focuses primarily on "linked" pedigrees (those with pedigree-specific LOD ? 0.588; equivalent to unadjusted p ? 0.05) to identify regions of extreme consistency across ...SumLINK; Linkage analysis; ICPCG; Disease susceptibility loci; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
107 Camp, Nicola J.Survey of excess familiality in prostate cancerProstate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men, and has long been recognized to occur in familial clusters. However, identification of genes predisposing individuals to prostate cancer has been difficult. Putative PCa predisposition loci identified by genetic linkage have been...Prostate cancer; Utah Population Database; Linkage analysis; Familial compotent; Excess familiality; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
108 Henderson, Thomas C.; Cohen, ElaineSymmetry as an organizational principle in cognitive sensor networksCognitive sensor networks are able to perceive, learn, reason and act by means of a distributed, sensor/actuator, computation and communication system. In animals, cognitive capabilities do not arise from a tabula rasa, but are due in large part to the intrinsic architecture (genetics) of the ani...Cognitive sensor networks2009
109 Thalos, Mariam G.SystemsDynamical-systems analysis is nowadays ubiquitous. From engineering (its point of origin and natural home) to physiology, and from psychology to ecology, it enjoys surprisingly wide application. Sometimes the analysis rings decisively false-as, for example, when adopted in certain treatments of hist...2009

111 Dailey, Andrew T.Thoracolumbar spine trauma classification: the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score system and case examplesObject. The aim of this study was to review the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS) and to demonstrate its application through a series of spine trauma cases. Methods. The Spine Trauma Study Group collaborated to create and report the TLICS system. The TLICS system is re...Thoracolumbar spine trauma; Classification; Thoracolumbar injury; TLICS; Spine Trauma Study Group; Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score2009
112 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Nahata, AjayTHz anomalous transmission in plasmonic lattices; incidence angle dependenceThe phenomenon of anomalous transmission through subwavelength aperture arrays in metallic films (plasmonic lattices) is thought to be mediated by surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) on the film surfaces. Using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy we systematically studied the anomalous transmission spec...THz anomalous transmission; Plasmonic lattices; Incidence angle dependence; THz radiation; Light polarization; Effective dielectric response; Notch filter2009
113 Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S.Timing and influence of MRI on the management of patients with cervical facet dislocations remains highly variable: a survey of members of the Spine Trauma Study GroupBackground: Traumatic cervical facet dislocations are potentially devastating injuries. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent means of assessing ligamentous disruption, disk herniation, and compression of the neural elements. However, despite an improved understanding of these facet dislo...Cervical facet dislocations; MRI; Spine Trauma Study Group2009
114 Brown, Francis HaroldTiming of volcanism and evolution of the northern Kenya RiftThe northern Kenya Rift is bounded on the west by uplands of Turkana which comprise horst-like blocks that include metamorphic basement rocks, locally overlain unconformably by the Cretaceous Lubur Sandstone, in turn overlain by predominantly volcanic sequences in which relatively thin sedimentary p...2009
115 Riloff, Ellen M.Toward completeness in concept extraction and classificationMany algorithms extract terms from text together with some kind of taxonomic classification (is-a) link. However, the general approaches used today, and specifically the methods of evaluating results, exhibit serious shortcomings. Harvesting without focusing on a specific conceptual area may deliv...Concept extraction; Concept classification2009
116 Tasdizen, Tolga; Jones, Bryan W.; Whitaker, Ross T.; Marc, Robert E.Ultrastructural mapping of neural circuitry: a computational frameworkComplete mapping of neuronal networks requires data acquisition at synaptic resolution with canonical coverage of tissues and robust neuronal classification. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) remains the optimal tool for network mapping. However, capturing high resolution, large, serial sectio...2009
117 DuVall, Scott L.Understanding the profile of errors that cause duplicate entries in a patient registryDuplicate records are detrimental to the cost-effective and efficient delivery of health care. Manually identifying and resolving duplicates can cost $60 per case. Patterns have been found in the types of errors that occur in patient registries, suggesting that undetected duplicate records may be ...Duplicate records; Duplicate patient records; Profile of errors; Enterprise Data Warehouse; EDW; Utah Population Database; UPDB; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
118 Riloff, Ellen M.Unified model of phrasal and sentential evidence for information extractionInformation Extraction (IE) systems that extract role fillers for events typically look at the local context surrounding a phrase when deciding whether to extract it. Often, however, role fillers occur in clauses that are not directly linked to an event word. We present a new model for event extract...Information extraction; Phrasal evidence; Sentential evidence; Role fillers; Event extraction; Sentential event recognizer; Plausible roll-filler recognizer2009
119 Morrow, Anne; Mower, AllysonUniversity scholarly knowledge inventory system: a workflow system for institutional repositoriesThe University Scholarly Knowledge Inventory System (U-SKIS) provides workspace for institutional repository staff. U-SKIS tracks files, communications, and publishers' archiving policies to determine what may be added to a repository.

120 Dolcourt, John L.; Hales, Joseph W.Use of internet searches for physician learningINTRODUCTION In 2005 the American Medical Association (AMA) approved the structure for awarding continuing medial education (CME) credit to physicians searching the Internet for answers to point-of-care related questions. Previous investigations of how physicians use the Intenet have relied on...Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
121 Tasdizen, Tolga; Terry, Christi M.; Cheung, Alfred K.; Kirby, Robert Michael IIUsing the stochastic collocation method for the uncertainty quantification of drug concentration due to depot shape variabilityNumerical simulations entail modeling assumptions that impact outcomes. Therefore, characterizing, in a probabilistic sense, the relationship between the variability of model selection and the variability of outcomes is important. Under certain assumptions, the stochastic collocation method offers ...2009
