Goller, Franz | Nonlinear model predicts diverse respiratory patterns of birdsong | A central aspect of the motor control of birdsong production is the capacity to generate diverse respiratory rhythms, which determine the coarse temporal pattern of song. The neural mechanisms that underlie this diversity of respiratory gestures and the resulting acoustic syllables are largely unkn... | Sound; Syllables; Song | 2006 |

Zhdanov, Michael S. | Novel approach to the model appraisal and resolution analysis of regularized geophysical inversion | The existing techniques for appraisal of geophysical inverse images are based on calculating the model resolution and the model covariance matrices. In some applications, however, it becomes desirable to evaluate the upper bounds of the variations in the solution of the inverse problem. It is possib... | Geophysical inversion; Electromagnetic modeling; Cauchy inequality; Resolution analysis; Lanczos decomposition method; SLDM; Voisey's Bay; 3-D modeling | 2006 |

Beckerle, Mary C. | Opposing roles of zyxin/LPP ACTA repeats and the LIM domain region in cell-cell adhesion | Cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion by linking cell junctions to actin networks. Although several actin regulatory systems have been implicated in cell-cell adhesion, it remains unclear how such systems drive cadherin-actin network formation and how they are regulated to coincide with initiation o... | Zyxin; Actin; Cadherin; LIM domains; VASP | 2006 |

Nicoll, Kathleen | OSL chronologies for Aeolian activity in the context of lake-level fluctuations, drainage reorganization and glacial retreat, North-Central Minnesota | Dunes and stratified eolian sedi-ments are a significant component of the postglacial landscape across the mid-continent. During the 1970s, a benchmark study in north-central Minne-sota inferred a period of eolian activity 8,000 ? 5,000 years ago (i.e., the Altithermal Hypsithermal periods), based u... | | 2006 |

Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Outcomes after decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury in children | Object. 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 neurosurgery | 2006 |

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; Waxy | 2006 |

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; Enantiostyly | 2006 |

Gondolo, Paolo | Physics 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 fields | 2006 |

Harrison, Reid R. | Polymer based thin film coils as a power module of wireless neural interfaces | For 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 Array | 2006 |

Hansen, Charles D. | Proxy chain method and its application to scientific visualization | We 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.
