Lindstrom, Gary E. | The schema coercion problem | Over the past decade, the ability to incorporate data from a wide variety of sources has become increasingly important to database users. To meet this need, significant effort has been expended in automatic database schema manipulation. However, to date this effort has focused on two aspects of this... | Schema coercion; Database schema manipulation; Schema integration | 1997 |

Firmage, Edwin B. | Seeing the stranger as enemy: coming out | In March 1996 the Utah state legislature banned gay / straight student support groups in all Utah public high schools. This act, along with the rhetoric of several legislators attacking gay and lesbian students, precipitated a rally of some 2,000 people at Salt Lake City's Wallace F. Bennett federal... | Utah; Legislature; Gay/straight alliance; Public high school; Protest marches | 1997 |

Barusch, Amanda | Self-concepts of low-income older women: not old or poor, but fortunate and blessed | This article examines the extent to which low-income older women define themselves in stigmatizing terms, then explores the strategies they use to preserve a positive sense of self. Instead of considering themselves "old" or "poor," the sixty-two women interviewed defined themselves as "fortunate" a... | Low-income older women; Stigmatizing terms; Positive thinking | 1997 |

Battin, Margaret P. | Sex & consequences: world population growth vs. reproductive rights | Conflict between concern over global population growth (still rising precipitously, even though growth rates have slowed) and concern for reproductive rights is intense.

Bohs, Lynn A. | Solanum maternum (Solanaceae), a new Bolivian relative of the tree tomato | A new species endemic to Bolivia, Solanum maternum, is described. Solanum maternum belongs to a group of taxa formerly recognized as the genus Cyphomandra.

Landesman, Margaret M. | Something old, something new: the evolution of the out-of-print book business: | This well-thought-out panel produced an outstanding afternoon, despite its being after lunch in a warm, filled-to-capacity room (producing some lapses in reporting coverage and a plea to ALA for a bigger room next time). Discussion focused on the ways in which automated applications have transformed... | Amazon.com; Pricing mechanism; OP dealers | 1997 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Spin and spectral signatures of polaron pairs in π-conjugated polymers | We have studied polaron pair photoexcitations in a variety of π-conjugated polymer films by photoinduced absorption (PA) and optically-detected magnetic resonance (ODMR).

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Spin dependent photoinduced absorption in a-Si:H | We have studied photoexcitation dynamics in undoped a-Si:H from 80 K to 300 K by the techniques of photoluminescence (PL), photoinduced absorption (PA) and their respective versions of optically detected magnetic resonance, namely PLDMR and PADMR.

Miller, Jan D. | Surface chemistry of pulping and flotation for mixed office wastepaper | The effect of pulping reagents on the de-inking flotation of laser printed wastepaper was investigated with regard to the removal efficiency of toner and mineral filler particles at different pH values. These results show that caustic pulping causes the toner to be released from the fibers as larg... | Pulping reagents; Deinking; Toner; Mineral fillers | 1997 |

Beazley, David. M. | SWIG users manual (version 1.1) | SWIG is a tool for solving problems. More specifically, SWIG is a simple tool for building interactive C, C++, or Objective-C programs with common scripting languages such as Tel, Perl, and Python. Of course, more importantly, SWIG is a tool for making C programming more enjoyable and promoting lazi... | SWIG; C programs; C++ programs; Objective-C programs; User manual; Interactive programs | 1997 |

Myers, Chris J. | Synthesis of timed circuits using BDDs* | This paper presents a tool which synthesizes timed circuits from reduced state graphs. Using timing information to reduce state graphs can lead to significantly smaller and faster circuits. The tool uses implicit techniques (binary decision diagrams) to represent these graphs. This allows us to synt... | 1997 | |

Freire, Juliana | Taking I/O seriously: resolution reconsidered for disk | Modern compilation techniques can give Prolog programs, in the best cases, a speed comparable to C. However, Prolog has proven to be unacceptable for data-oriented queries for two major reasons: its poor termination and complexity properties for Datalog, and its tuple-at-a-time strategy. A number of... | Tabling; SLG-WAM; Prolog; XSB; Datalog | 1997 |

Myers, Chris J. | Timed event/level structures | This paper presents timed event/level(TEL) structures, an extension to timed event-rule structures, which allows the general use of signal levels and timing in the specification of an asynchronous circuit. TEL structures can express true OR causality, as well as language constructs that are very dif... | 1997 | |
