1751 Hannon, James C.Determination of step rate thresholds corresponding to physical activity intensity classifications in adultsBackground: Current recommendations call for adults to be physically active at moderate and/or vigorous intensities. Given the popularity of walking and running, the use of step rates may provide a practical and inexpensive means to evaluate ambulatory intensity. Thus, the purpose of this study wa...2011
1752 Liu, FengDetermination of the Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier in epitaxial growth of thin filmsWe demonstrate an approach for determining the "effective" Ehrlich-Schwoebel (ES) step-edge barrier, an important kinetic constant to control the interlayer mass transport in epitaxial growth of thin films. The approach exploits the rate difference between the growth and/or decay of an adatom and a...Ehrlich-Schwoebel barrier; Epitaxial growth; Step-edge barrier; Adatoms2006-11
1753 Scarpulla, MichaelDetermination of the infrared complex magnetoconductivity tensor in itinerant ferromagnets from Faraday and Kerr measurementsWe present measurement and analysis techniques that allow the complete complex magnetoconductivity tensor to be determined from midinfrared (11-1.6 μm; 100-800 meV) measurements of the complex Faraday (θF) and Kerr (θK) angles. Since this approach involves measurement of the geometry (orientati...Magnetoconductivity tensor; Ferromagnets2007-06
1754 Rogachev, AndreyDetermination of the superconductor-insulator phase diagram for one-dimensional wiresWe establish the superconductor-insulator phase diagram for quasi-one-dimensional wires by measuring a large set of MoGe nanowires. This diagram is roughly consistent with the Chakravarty-Schmid-Bulgadaev phase boundary, namely, with the critical resistance being equal to RQ ¼ h=4e2. Deviations fr...One-dimensional wires; Superconductor-insulator phase diagram; MoGe; Chakravarty-Schmid-Bulgadaev; Phase boundary2008-11
1755 Liu, FengDetermining the adsorptive and catalytic properties of strained metal surfaces using adsorption-induced stressWe demonstrate a model for determining the adsorptive and catalytic properties of strained metal surfaces based on linear elastic theory, using first-principles calculations of CO adsorption on Au and K surfaces and CO dissociation on Ru surface. The model involves a single calculation of the adsorp...Strained metal surfaces; Adsorption-induced stress; Adsorptive properties; Catalytic properties2004
1756 Kestle, John R. W.Determining the best cerebrospinal fluid shunt valve design: the pediatric valve design trialMyriad cerebrospinal fluid shunt valve designs are available (17, IS). None has ever been shown to be superior to another, although claims by neurosurgeons and shunt manufacturers of the merits of particular designs are numerous. Such is the case with two recent shunt valve designs, the Orbis-Sigm...Pediatric valve design; Shunt valves1996
1757 Reichler, Thomas J.Determining the tropopause height from gridded dataA method is presented to determine tropopause height from gridded temperature data with coarse vertical resolution. The algorithm uses a thermal definition of the tropopause, which is based on the concept of a threshold lapse-rate. Interpolation is performed to identify the pressure at which this th...Meteorology and Atmospheric Dynamics: Stratosphere/troposphere interactions; Numerical modeling and data assimilation; Meteorology; Atmospheric Dynamics: General circulation2003
1758 Johnston, Susan S.Developing an initial communicative repertoire: applications and issues for persons with severe disabilitiesResearchers and practitioners are increasingly aware of the extent of communicative relationships very early in development. Advances in understanding how communication develops and how it can be taught have made earlier communication intervention a viable undertaking for infants and toddlers who ex...Intervention; Context; Communicative functions1993
1759 Allyson MowerDeveloping an institutional repository: an insider's look at the University of Utah IR. Library Student Journal, November 2006.2006-11-01
1760 Fogel, Alan DaleDeveloping through relationships origins of communication, self, and cultureI began to consider the study of relationships as an intellectual vocation in 1970, the result of two years of college teaching that was part of my work as a United States Peace Corps volunteer in Bogota, Colombia. After another year I began my doctoral training in the Department of Education at th...1993
1761 Miller, Jan D.Development and application of centrifugal flotation systems in wastewater treatmentFlotation as a wastewater treatment technique is designed to remove all particles generally encountered as very fine emulsions, suspended solids, and colloids from wastewater. Historically, Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) has been used to achieve this removal. More recently, other flotation techniques...Wastewater treatment; Centrifugal flotation; Liquid cyclone mixing; Hybrid centrifugal dissolved-air flotation; ASH; BAF; GEM; FF2007
1762 Drews, Frank; Westenskow, Dwayne R.; Agutter, James A.; Strayer, David LeeDevelopment and evaluation of a anesthesia drug displayBACKGROUND: Usable real-time displays of intravenous anesthetic concentrations and effects could significantly enhance intraoperative clinical decision-making. Pharmacokinetic models are available to estimate past, present, and future drug effect-site concentrations, and pharmacodynamic models are a...Blood Pressure; Computer Graphics; Patient Simulation2002-03
1763 Drews, Frank; Strayer, David LeeDevelopment and evaluation of a high-fidelity simulator training program for snowplow operatorsThe safe operation of a snowplow requires a high level of expertise. Drivers often operate in very stressful situations, maneuvering 30 tons of equipment in tight quarters in blizzard conditions. Drivers often work long shifts, negotiate their vehicle in heavy traffic, on slippery roads with very li...Snowplow operators; Simulators; Accidents2004

1773 Dibble, Leland E.Development of a scale to assess avoidance behavior due to a fear of falling: the fear of falling avoidance behavior questionnaireBackground. A history of falls or imbalance may lead to a fear of falling, which may lead to self-imposed avoidance of activity; this avoidance may stimulate a vicious cycle of deconditioning and subsequent falls. Objective. The purpose of this study was to develop a questionnaire that would quanti...2011
