Stringfellow, Gerald B. | Compositional modulation and ordering in semiconductors | The science of materials as a specific discipline is a relatively modern development. Within this rather modern field, the study of semiconductor materials is an even more recent development. Modern textbooks on materials science focus primarily on the properties of metals and second on the properti... | Materials scientists; Controlled ordering | 1997 |

Brown, Barbara B. | Post-occupancy evaluation of wayfinding in a pediatric hospital: research findings and implications for instruction | A post-occupancy evaluation (POE) of way finding in a new pediatric hospital pointed to a wide range of areas where wayfinding aids could be improved. After initial walk-through evaluation tours and meetings with administrators, five more systematic methods were used to assess problems: staff and vi... | Hospitals; Wayfinding; Signage | 1997 |

Silverman, Randall H. | Book repair in the U.S.A.: a library-wide approach to conservation | Abstract: Modern research library collections are a composite of both rare and non-rare books the majority of which are out of print and irreplaceable. Consequently, conservation treatment priorities cannot responsibly ignore non-rare material without shortchanging future scholarly needs. To address... | Preservation, books; Conservation, books | 1997 |

Wolfinger, Nicholas H. | Different voices of gender: social recognition | Many researchers have shown that men and women speak differently. In this paper we examine whether these differences extend to the interpretation of speech. Men and women were recorded as they described their participation in a common interpersonal dilemma. | Gender differences | 1997 |

Flynn, John J. | Flaws in higher education governance are putting the U of U at risk | The governance of colleges and universities has been an enduring source of controversy. At one time or another in the long history of higher education, paramount powers of governance have been claimed by students, faculty, clergy, administrators, boards of regents or trustees, and one or another b... | Institution; University; System | 1997 |

Ogburn, Joyce L. | On anthropology and the internet (discussion and criticism) | The Internet as a topic has taken over our professional lives as much as the Internet as a reality. Its application to anthropology deserves a timely and thorough exploration. The article on it by Brian Schwimmer (CA 37:561-68) is dated December 1995, and in the absence of information on how recent... | Searching online; Website searching; Human history and culture | 1997 |

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 |

Coley, Phyllis D. | Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae in two tropical monodominant trees | Mycorrhizae, symbioses between plant roots and fungi, are found in virtually all terrestrial plant ecosystems. Substantial evidence indicates that mycorrhizal associations are beneficial to both partners. | Ectromycorrizae; Flooding; Monodominance; Neotropics; Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae; Mora excelsa; Prioria copaifera | 1997 |

Torti, Sylvia D.; Coley, Phyllis D. | Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae in two tropical monodominant trees | Mycorrhizae, symbioses between plant roots and fungi, are in virtually all terrestrial plant ecosystems. Substantial evidence indicates that mycorrhizal associations are beneficial to both partners. In most systems, the fungus benefits the host plant by effectively scavenging nutrients and in return... | Monodominance; Ectomycorrhizae; Flooding; Neotropics; Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrizae; Mora excelsa; Prioria copaifera | 1997 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | A dynamic systems approach to infant facial action | What does it mean when a baby smiles? Is it an expression of enjoyment, a signal to a partner that rewards effective caretaking, or simply a muscular contraction? Do physically different types of smiles indicate different things? Should the social context in which an infant smiles inform our unders... | | 1997 |

Miller, Jan D. | Removal of volatile organic compounds from contaminated water using air-sparged hydrocyclone stripping technology | The air-sparged hydrocyclone (ASH) technology offers the unique opportunity to achieve efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated water at a high specific capacity, more than 100 times that of conventional air stripping technologies. VOC stripping is the first applicati... | Air-sparged hydrocyclone; Air stripping; Contaminated water | 1997 |

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 |

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. Both PL and PA spectra are composed of low and high ... | a-Si:H; Amorphous silicon; Spin dependent; Photoinduced absorption | 1997 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | Instrumented sensor system - practice | In previous work, we introduced the notion of Instrumented Logical Sensor Systems (ILSS) that are derived from a modeling and design methodology [4, 2]. The instrumented sensor approach is based on a sensori-computational model which defines the components of the sensor system in terms of their func... | Instrumented Logical Sensor Systems; ILSS | 1997 |

Horch, Kenneth W. | Are the extrinsic muscles better suited for signaling joint angles or finger tip location? | We used a biomechanical model of the human long finger to determine whether the extrinsic muscles are better suited for estimating the finger's joint angles or for estimating location of the finger tip. We found that two of the extrinsic muscles together could provide information sufficient to direc... | Extrinsic muscles; Metacarpophalangeal joint; Biomechanical models | 1997 |

Liu, Feng | Magnetization on vicinal ferromagnetic surfaces | Using Ising model Monte Carlo simulations, we show a strong dependence of surface magnetization on surface miscut angle. For ferromagnetic surfaces, when surface spin exchange coupling is larger than that of the bulk, the surface magnetic ordering temperature decreases, toward the bulk Curie tempera... | Vicinal ferromagnetic surfaces; Surface magnetization; Surface miscut angle | 1997 |

Seger, Jon | Natural history and evolution of paper-wasps | Paper-wasps occupy a special place in the history of animal behavior. Temperate species o f Polistes are large, beautiful, intelligent, adaptable, easy to observe, and thoroughly committed to social life. They are also aptly named, being intensely political, in the limited sense that any nonhuman an... | Individuals; Excellent; Phylogeny | 1997 |

Sanchez, Thomas W. | Exurban and suburban residents: a departure from traditional location theory | During the 1990s, the exurban landscape grew faster and added more people than urban, suburban, and rural landscapes. In many respects, exurbanization is the quintessential representation of urban sprawl and the problems it poses. More than 100 metropolitan areas across the US attempt to manage exu... | Household location; Exurbanization; Location theory | 1997 |
