Christensen, Douglas A.; Herron, James N. | Rapid single nucleotide polymorphism detection for personalized medicine applications using planar waveguide fluorescence sensors | Personalized medicine is an emerging field in which clinical diagnostics information about a patient's genotype or phenotype is used to optimize his/her pharmacotherapy. This article evaluates whether planar waveguide fluorescent sensors are suitable for determining such information from patient tes... | Personalized medicine; Planar waveguides; Fluorescence sensors; Evanescent excitation; Fluorescence; Hybridization; Molecular diagnostics; Peptide nucleic acid; Point of care; Single base extension; Single nucleotide polymorphism | 2006 |

Balasubramonian, Rajeev | Re-visiting the performance impact of microarchitectural floorplanning | The placement of microarchitectural blocks on a die can significantly impact operating temperature. A floorplan that is optimized for low temperature can negatively impact performance by introducing wire delays between critical pipeline stages. In this paper, we identify subsets of wire delays tha... | Microarchitectural floorplanning; Wire delays; Floorplanning algorithms; Microprocessor operating temperature; Critical loops; Pipelines | 2006 |

Sanchez, Thomas W. | Residential location, transportation, and welfare-to-work in the United States: a case study of Milwaukee | This article addresses two questions about spatial barriers to welfare-to-work transition in the United States. First, what residential and transportation adjustments do welfare recipients tend to make as they try to become economically self-sufficient? Second, do these adjustments actually incre... | Employment issues; Neighborhood; Transportation | 2006 |

Dailey, Andrew T. | Risk factors for respiratory failure following operative stabilization of thoracic and lumbar spine fractures | Background: Respiratory failure is a serious complication that can adversely affect the hospital course and survival of multiply injured patients. Some studies have suggested that delayed surgical stabilization of spine fractures may increase the incidence of respiratory complications. However, the... | Respiratory failure; Operative stabilization; Thoracic spine; Lumbar spine | 2006 |

Mallon, Ronald | Role of psychology in the study of culture | Although 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 |

Furse, Cynthia M. | Selection criteria of test signals for correlation-based wire fault analysis (preprint) | This paper compares reflectometry signals for location of intermittent faults on live electrical cables. STDR, SSTDR, linear chirp, quadratic chirp, concave-up chirp, convex-down chirp and all frequency randomized phase noise signals were tested. The SSTDR was observed to be the most effective sig... | | 2006 |

McDaniel, Susan | Seniors and portrayals of intra-generational and inter-generational inequality in the Globe and Mail | In this article, we examine how seniors are portrayed in the Globe and Mail. Thirty articles published in 2004 were selected and thematically analysed. Seniors were discussed in six different contexts, including family, work/retirement, community networks, scientific studies of population, social a... | | 2006 |

Kestle, John R. W. | Shunt insertion in the summer: is it safe? | Object. The potential for increased complications related to the arrival of new residents in July each year has not previously been demonstrated in the neurosurgical literature. The authors investigated this phenomenon in children undergoing cerebrospinal fluid shunt surgery. Methods.

Sperry, John S. | Size and function in conifer tracheids and angiosperm vessels | The wide size range of conifer tracheids and angiosperm vessels has important consequences for function. In both conduit types, bigger is better for conducting efficiency. The gain in efficiency with size is maximized by the control of conduit shape, which balances end-wall and lumen resistances. | Ecological wood anatomy; vascular structure and function; water transport | 2006 |

Couldwell, William T.; Harnsberger, H. Ric | Spontaneous regression of a cystic cavum septum pellucidum | A persistent cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) is present in ~0.73% of adults, although its incidence ranges from 0.14 to 18.9% depending on the detection method. Cystic CSP is even rarer. A cyst causing mass within the CSP can obstruct the intraventricular foramen, leading to blockage of CSF flow and p... | Cavum septum pellucidum; Cyst; Spontaneous regression; Decompression | 2006 |
