Battin, Margaret P. | Cases for kids: using puzzles to teach aesthetics to children | Nothing stupefies kids (I have in mind young people, though the same is true of many adults) as quickly as long-winded, jargon-filled, highly abstract theoretical discourse, especially when it seems to have no immediate utility. Kids like fun. They like play; they like games; they like challenges an... | Aesthetics; Education; Children; Puzzles | 1994 |

Horch, Kenneth W. | Classification of action potentials in multi unit intrafascicular recordings using neural network pattern recognition techniques | Neural network pattern-recognition techniques were applied to the problem of identifying the sources of action potentials in multi-unit neural recordings made from intrafascicular electrodes implanted in cats. The network was a three-layer connectionist machine that used digitized action potenti... | Intrafascicular electrodes; Multi-unit neural activity; Artificial neural networks | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Comment on: Chronic brain inflammation and persistent herpes simplex virus 1 thymidine kinase expression in survivors of syngeneic glioma treated by adenovirus-mediated gene therapy: implications for clinical trials | The long-term consequences of adenovirus-mediated conditional cytotoxic gene therapy for gliomas remain uncharacterized. We report here detection of active brain inflammation 3 months after successful inhibition of syngeneic glioma growth. The inflammatory infiltrate consisted of activated macrophag... | Brain inflammation; Herpes simplex virus-1; Thymidine kinase; Syngeneic glioma; Adenovirus-mediated gene therapy | 1994 |

Thalos, Mariam G. | Common need for classical epistemological foundations: against a feminist alternative | The difficulties of justifying a recipe for scientific inquiry that calls for sensory experience and logic as sole ingredients can hardly be overestimated. Resolving the riddles of induction, steadily mounting against empiricism since Hume, has come to seem like an exercise in making bricks without... | Epistomology; Feminism; Sensory experience; Logic; Inductive inference | 1994 |

Kessler, Robert R. | Compiling distributed C++ | Distributed C++ (DC++) is a language for writing parallel applications on loosely coupled distributed systems in C++. Its key idea is to extend the C++ class into 3 categories: gateway classes which act as communication and synchronization entry points between abstract processors, classes whose... | Distributed C++; DC++; Parallel applications | 1994 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Conodipine-M, a novel phospholipase A2 isolated from the venom of the marine snail Conus magus | We describe the purification and first biochemical characterization of an enzymatic activity in venom from the marine snail Conus magus. This enzyme, named conodipine-M, is a novel phospholipase A2 with a molecular mass of 13.6 ĸDa and is comprised of two polypeptide chains linked by one or more di... | Conotoxins; Conodipine-M; Conus magus | 1994 |

Johnson, Christopher R. | Construction of a human torso model from magnetic resonance images for problems in computational electrocardiography | Applying mathematical models to real situations often requires the use of discrete geometrical models of the solution domain. In some cases destructive measurement of the objects under examination is acceptable, but in biomedical applications the measurements come from imaging techniques such as X-r... | Human torso model; MRI | 1994 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Construction of multidimensional clustered patterns | Ecological processes often depend upon the patterning, as well as the absolute density, of resources. In this paper, we develop methods for describing pattern from the perspective of the organism encountering and exploiting the resources, and for reconstructing pattern from the description. | Algorithms; clustered resources; foraging | 1994 |

Horch, Kenneth W. | Control of ankle position using neural feedback | This paper describes a closed loop control system that uses afferent neural activity from muscle spindle fibers as feedback for controlling ankle position. The gastrocnemius muscle was stimulated through a dual channel intrafascicular electrode implanted in a fascicle of the tibial nerve. Dual cha... | Neuromuscular stimulation; Peripheral nerve; Joint angle | 1994 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Control of ordering in Ga0.5In0.5P using growth temperature | The kinetic processes leading to ordering in Gas,, In o.4P8 have been studied by observing the effects of substrate misorientation (O-9), growth rate (0.1-0.5), and substrate temperature (570- 670 "C) during growth. The ordered structure and degree of ordering are determined using transmission elec... | Ordering Structure; Growth Temprature; Growth Rate | 1994 |

Kriesel, John D.; Baringer, J R; Spruance, Spotswood L. | Correlation between detection of herpes simplex virus in oral secretions by PCR and susceptibility to experimental UV radiation-induced herpes labialis. | We examined the oral secretions of 25 patients for herpes simplex virus (HSV) at the time of and following experimental UV radiation (UVR). HSV was detected in one or more oral secretion specimens in 5 of 12 (42%) cases by cell culture and in 8 of 12 (67%) cases by PCR. On the day of UVR, HSV was de... | Polymerase Chain Reaction; Ultraviolet Rays; Simplexvirus | 1994 |

Couldwell, William T. | Cranioplasty with the Medpor porous polyethylene Flexblock implant | The authors describe the use of a porous polyethylene Flexblock implant for cosmetic cranioplasty. The implant may be used to cover any small- or medium-sized (< 8 cm) cranial defect, offering similar cosmetic results to standard alloplast cranioplasty while decreasing operation time. The porous i... | Cranioplasty; Medpor; Alloplast; Polyethylene; Skull defect | 1994 |

Bohs, Lynn A. | Cyphomandra (Solanaceae) | Unusual ecological aspects of Cyphomandra include its pollination syndrome and herbivore relationships. Male euglossine bees may be important pollinators of Cyphomandra flowers, and the primary attractants may not be pollen, but odor substances secreted by the anther connectives. Specialized herbi... | Cyphomandra; Latin America | 1994 |

Battin, Margaret P. | Death ethics: religious and cultural values in prolonging and ending life | In this sequel to his earlier Birth Ethics, Kenneth Vaux again uses what he calls a 'multiphasic ethical scheme," incorporating naturalistic, humanistic, and theistic values to explore the issues of suicide, euthanasia, letting die, genocide, withdrawing life supports, and other end-of-life issues. | | 1994 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Defended fortresses or moving targets? Another model of inducible defenses inspired by military metaphors | We use a common framework to compare three models of plant strategies to confront herbivory: constitutive defense, optimal inducible defense, and the "moving target." Plants with constitutive defenses retain a fixed defensive phenotype. Plants with optimal inducible defenses respond to attack by inc... | Constitutive defense; optimal inducible defense; phenotype | 1994 |

Newman, Lex | Descartes on unknown faculties and our knowledge of the external world | Descartes introduces his skeptical arguments, in the First Meditation, in an order of increasing strength. First, the narrator-meditator notices that judgments concerning the nature of small and distant objects are unreliable; later, that even sensory judgments about large and close objects are in d... | Corporeal existence; Skeptical argument | 1994 |
