101 Mallon, RonaldInnateness as closed process invarianceAlthough we are enthusiastic about a Darwinian approach to culture, we argue that the overview presented in the target article does not sufficiently emphasize the crucial explanatory role that psychology plays in the study of culture. We use a number of examples to illustrate the variety of ways by...2006
102 McDaniel, SusanInnovation in human/social guiseIn this chapter, innovation is viewed from a step further back, as an astronaut might see the earth from space. It is not seen as something analysed as a linear, technical process, whether incremental or radical. Nor is it seen as a process in which social context adds to the mix of other factors to...Innovation; Social process2006
103 Zhdanov, Michael S.Integral equation method for 3D modeling of electromagnetic fields in complex structures with inhomogeneous background conductivityWe present a new formulation of the integral equation (IE) method for three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic (EM) modeling in complex structures with inhomogeneous background conductivity (IBC). This method overcomes the standard limitation of the conventional IE method related to the use of a horiz...3-D modeling; Integral equation method; Marine controlled-source electromagnetic data; MCSEM; Gemini Prospect; Gulf of Mexico2006
104 Freire, JulianaIntegrated scientific workflow management for the Emulab network testbedThe main forces that shaped current network testbeds were the needs for realism and scale. Now that several testbeds support large and complex experiments, management of experimentation processes and results has become more difficult and a barrier to high-quality systems research. The popularity o...Workflow management; Data exploration; Emulab; Network testbeds2006
105 Furse, Cynthia M.; Farhang, Behrouz; Richardson, StephanieIntegrated system-level design in electrical engineeringThis paper describes an NSF-sponsored department level curriculum reform project in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Utah.

107 Sperry, John S.Inter-tracheid pitting and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood: the role of tracheid allometry and cavitation protectionPlant xylem must balance efficient delivery of water to the canopy against protection from air entry into the conduits via air-seeding. We investigated the relationship between tracheid allometry, end wall pitting, safety from air-seeding, and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood in order to bet...Allometry; Araucariaceae; cavitation2006
108 Balasubramonian, RajeevInterconnect-aware coherence protocols for chip multiprocessorsImprovements in semiconductor technology have made it possible to include multiple processor cores on a single die. Chip Multi-Processors (CMP) are an attractive choice for future billion transistor architectures due to their low design complexity, high clock frequency, and high throughput. In a...Interconnects; Chip multiprocessors; Coherence2006
109 Warner, Judith E. A.Intermittent reversal of Complete Ptosis-EganWarnerCASE REPORT: Ptosis secondary to dense oculomotor pareses generally improves over several months, but intermittent elevation of the eyelid has not been reported.

110 Diamond, LisaIntimate same-sex relationshps of sexual minoritiesThis chapter provides an overview of current research on same-sex intimate relationships, emphasizing the most central and well-researched domains: relationship initiation, maintenance, satisfaction, and dissolution, gender-related dynamics, sexuality and sexual exclusivity, and violence and ab...Same-sex relationships; Partnering; Sexual minorities; Domestic relationships2006
111 Liu, FengIntrinsic current-voltage properties of nanowires with four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy: a conductance transition of ZnO nanowireWe report intrinsic current-voltage properties of ZnO nanowire measured by a four-tip scanning tunneling microscopy (F-STM). It is found that after bending the nanowire with the F-STM the conductance is reduced by about five orders of magnitude. The cathodoluminescent spectra indicate that the ZnO n...ZnO nanowire; Four-probe; Four-tip; F-STM; Conductance transition2006
112 Clayton, Dale H.; Bush, Sarah ElizabethIs melanin a defense against feather-feeding lice?The adaptive basis of plumage color has received much attention, including the finding that color can reveal information about parasite loads to potential mates. A related possibility, that color may be a direct defense against parasites, has received less attention.Columba livia; Columbiformes; Ectoparasites; Columbicola columbae; Campanulotes compare; Plumage color; Eumelanin; Preening2006
113 Hansen, Charles D.Knowledge-based out-of-core algorithms for data management in visualizationData management is the very first issue in handling very large datasets. Many existing out-of-core algorithms used in visualization are closely coupled with application-specific logic. This paper presents two knowledgebased out-of-core prefetching algorithms that do not use hard-coded rendering-re...2006
114 Kestle, John R. W.Late rapid deterioration after endoscopic third ventriculostomy: additional cases and review of the literatureObject. Late rapid deterioration after endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) is a rare complication. The authors previously reported three deaths from three centers. Three other deaths and a patient who experienced rapid deterioration have also been reported. Following the death at the University ...Endoscopic third ventriculostomy; ETV; Pediatric neurosurgery; Adverse outcome2006

116 Riloff, Ellen M.Learning domain-specific information extraction patterns from the webMany information extraction (IE) systems rely on manually annotated training data to learn patterns or rules for extracting information about events. Manually annotating data is expensive, however, and a new data set must be annotated for each domain. So most IE training sets are relatively small. C...Information extraction; Domain-specific; Annotated training sets; MUC-42006
117 Myers, Chris J.Learning genetic regulatory network connectivity from time series dataAbstract. Recent experimental advances facilitate the collection of time series data that indicate which genes in a cell are expressed. This paper proposes an efficient method to generate the genetic regulatory network inferred from time series data. Our method fi_x000C_rst encodes the data into le...2006
118 Poulter, Charles DaleLethal mutations in the isoprenoid pathway of salmonella entericaEssential isoprenoid compounds are synthesized using the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway in many gram-negative bacteria, some gram-positive bacteria, some apicomplexan parasites, and plant chloroplasts. The alternative mevalonate pathway is found in archaea and eukaryotes, includin...Isoprenoids; Mutation; Bacteria; Antimicrobials2006
119 Balasubramonian, RajeevLeveraging bloom filters for smart search within NUCA cachesOn-chip wire delays are becoming increasingly problematic in modern microprocessors. To alleviate the negative effect of wire delays, architects have considered splitting up large L2/L3 caches into several banks, with each bank having a different access latency depending on its physical proximit...Bloom filters; Smart search; NUCA caches; Wire delays; On-chip2006
120 Shapiro, Michael D.Limb diversity and digit reduction in reptilian evolutionThe study of morphological rules, or trends, offered classical biologists the opportunity to address the mechanisms underlying the evolution of anatomical designs. Regularities in evolution suggested that common functional or developmental rules governed the transformation of structures. Parallelism...Digit loss; Morphology; Adaptation2006
121 Shultz, Barry B.Lumbar segmental mobility disorders: comparison of two methods of defining abnormal displacement kinematics in a cohort of patients with non-specific mechanical low back painBackground: Lumbar segmental rigidity (LSR) and lumbar segmental instability (LSI) are believed to be associated with low back pain (LBP), and identification of these disorders is believed to be useful for directing intervention choices. Previous studies have focussed on lumbar segmental rotation an...2006
