151 Mamalis, Nick; Nilson, Christian D.Outbreak of toxic anterior segment syndrome following cataract surgery associated with impurities in autoclave steam moisture.BACKGROUND: Toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS), a complication of cataract surgery, is a sterile inflammation of the anterior chamber of the eye. An outbreak of TASS was recognized at an outpatient surgical center and its affiliated hospital in December 2002.

152 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeOutcomes after decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury in childrenObject. Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often accompanied by early death due to transtentorial herniation. Decompressive craniectomy, performed alone or in conjunction with evacuation of the mass lesion, can reduce the incidence of raised intracranial pressure (ICP). In this paper the authors...Traumatic brain injury; Decompressive craniectomy; Pediatric neurosurgery2006

155 Bohs, Lynn A.Phylogenetic relationships among the "spiny solanums" (Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum, Solanaceae)Species of Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum comprise almost one third of the genus and are distributed worldwide. Members of this group are defined by their sharp epidermal prickles; thus, they are commonly referred to as the ˜spiny solanums." This subgenus includes a number of economically important...Granule-bound starch synthase gene; GBSSI; Heterandry; ITS; Leptostemonum; Solanum; trnS-trnG; Waxy2006
156 Bohs, Lynn A.Phylogeny and biogeography of the Canarian Solanum vespertilio and S. lidii (Solanaceae)The endemic and rare Solanum vespertilio and S. lidii from the Canary Islands are notable in being andromonoecious, self compatible, highly heterandrous (with short >reward= anthers and one very long >pollination= anther), and bearing strongly zygomorphic corollas. Solanum vespertilio flowers are a...Solanum vespertilio; Solanum lidii; Leptostemonum; tnT-F region; granule-bound starch synthase gene; GBSSI; Andromonoecy; Hererandry; Enantiostyly2006
157 Gondolo, PaoloPhysics of the very early universe: what can we learn from cosmological observations?Cosmological observations are starting to probe the evolution of the Universe before nucleosynthesis. The observed fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background and in the distribution of matter can be traced back to their origin during inflation, and the inflaton potential has begun to be unrave...Neutralinos; Inflatons; Moduli fields2006
158 Miller, Jan D.Pilot-plant evaluation of a water insoluble hydroxamic acid collector for single stage flotation of Florida phosphate rockRecent laboratory results have demonstrated that selective flotation of phosphate rock can be achieved in a single stage with improved separation efficiency when compared to the standard double float process. The new reagent chemistry is based on the use of a water insoluble alcoholic solution of ...Phosphate rock; Flotation; Double float; Separation2006
159 Harrison, Reid R.Polymer based thin film coils as a power module of wireless neural interfacesFor the conventional Utah Electrode Array (UEA) to be able to function without transcutaneous wire connections, a kind of power source is needed in an integrated form with the UEA. To develop such wireless neural interfaces, inductive coupling between two coils was used to deliver power to the integ...Wireless; Neural interfaces; Thin film coils; Utah Electrode Array2006
160 Couldwell, William T.Posterior fossa brain tumors and arterial hypertensionHypertension caused by arterial compression of the rostral ventrolateral medulla is well described. Much less information is available on the association between neurogenic hypertension and posterior fossa brain tumors. To date, multiple reports have supported the impression that a small subpopulat...Posterior fossa tumors; Brain stem; Arterial hypertension; Essential hypertension; EHTN2006
161 Balasubramonian, RajeevPower efficient resource scaling in partitioned architectures through dynamic heterogeneityThe ever increasing demand for high clock speeds and the desire to exploit abundant transistor budgets have resulted in alarming increases in processor power dissipation. Partitioned (or clustered) architectures have been proposed in recent years to address scalability concerns in future billion-tr...Partitioned architectures; Clustered architectures; Energy × Delay2, Temperature; Dynamic frequency scaling; Thermal emergency2006
162 Harrison, Reid R.Power minimization of a 433-MHz LC VCO for an implantable neural recording systemThis paper presents a new random-search based integrated inductor optimization algorithm. The algorithm provides the designer with valuable information about design tradeoffs. it is used to design an inductor to minimize power dissopation in an LC VCO. The measured results show that a 53:1 power sav...2006
163 Harrison, Reid R.Power, clock, and data recovery in a wireless neural recording deviceFor many medical applications, neural recording systems should be fully implantable. Transcutaneous wires must be compleley eliminated, and this necessitates the wireless transfer of power, clock and configuration data to the device. We have developed, fabricated, and tested cirucits that recover po...2006
164 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshPredicate abstraction for MurphiPredicate abstraction is a technique used to prove properties in a finite or infinite state system. It employs decision procedures to abstract a concrete state system into a finite state abstraction system, which will then be model checked and refined. In this paper, we present an approach for im...Predicate abstraction; Murphi2006
165 Sung, Younghoon; Renshaw, Perry FranklinPrefrontal grey-matter changes in short-term and long-term abstinent methamphetamine abusersAuthor's explored grey-matter density in 29 methamphetamine abusers and 20 healthy comparison subjects using voxel-based morphometry. Grey-matter density changes and performances on the Wisconsin Card Sorting test (WCST) were also compared between 11 short-term (<6 months) and 18 long-term (o6 mon...2006
166 Sanchez, Thomas W.; Nelson, Arthur C.Problems of containment and the promise of planningWhen the expansion of cities is constrained either by natural barriers, such as New Orleans, or by policy efforts to limit urban sprawl, development pressures in hazardous areas can markedly increase. As floodplains, steep slopes, earthquake fault zones, and other hazardous locations are converted ...Disaster mitigation; Land use; Floodplains2006
167 Hansen, Charles D.Proxy chain method and its application to scientific visualizationWe present a method for combining multiple point-based constraints in haptic programming environments. Instead of using a single proxy point for haptic feedback, the method maintains a separate proxy for each constraint. The reaction force is computed by linking the proxies in a chain. Constraints a...2006
168 Symons, John David; Jalili, Thunder; Litwin, Sheldon E.Quercetin-supplemented diets lower blood pressure and attenuate cardiac hypertrophy in rats with aortic constrictionQuercetin (Q), a flavonoid found in berries and onions, can reduce blood pressure in hypertensive animals and inhibit signal transduction pathways in vitro that regulate cardiac hypertrophy. We hypothesized that quercetin could prevent cardiovascular complications in rats with abdominal aortic con...2006
