1 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Compositional modulation and ordering in semiconductorsThe 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 ordering1997
2 Brown, Barbara B.Post-occupancy evaluation of wayfinding in a pediatric hospital: research findings and implications for instructionA 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; Signage1997

4 Silverman, Randall H.Book repair in the U.S.A.: a library-wide approach to conservationAbstract: 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, books1997

6 Wolfinger, Nicholas H.Different voices of gender: social recognitionMany 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 differences1997
7 Flynn, John J.Flaws in higher education governance are putting the U of U at riskThe 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; System1997
8 Battin, Margaret P.A midwife through the dying process: stories of healing and hard choices at the end of lifeIn Timothy Quill's recounting of the deaths of nine patients, the final description is of the planned death of Jules: at home, surrounded by family members, and aided by a physician. It is a moving, true story, recounted in meticulous detail, from the first diagnosis to the final dose of barbiturat...1997
9 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 culture1997
10 Lindstrom, Gary E.The schema coercion problemOver 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 integration1997
11 Coley, Phyllis D.Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae in two tropical monodominant treesMycorrhizae, 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 copaifera1997
12 Torti, Sylvia D.; Coley, Phyllis D.Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae in two tropical monodominant treesMycorrhizae, 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 copaifera1997
13 McDaniel, SusanIntergenerational transfers, social solidarity, and social policy: unanswered questions and policy challengesLe transfert intergenerationnel constitue l'essence de la continuite societale et pourtant, il demeure mal conceptualise et analyse. Il se situe Egalement au centre du concept de l'etat sur le bien-etre quant a la redistribution des ressources et partant, des changements/defis actuels quant aux mes...Intergenerational transfers; Social solidarity; Social continuity; Redistribution1997
14 Fogel, Alan DaleA dynamic systems approach to infant facial actionWhat 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
15 Miller, Jan D.Removal of volatile organic compounds from contaminated water using air-sparged hydrocyclone stripping technologyThe 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 water1997
16 Miller, Jan D.Surface chemistry of pulping and flotation for mixed office wastepaperThe 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 fillers1997
17 Downes, Stephen M.Review of Peter Galison and David Stump, Disunity of scienceMost of the essays in this collection were originally delivered as papers at a conference on the disunity of science held at Stanford University in 1991.Ampere; Scientific work, Science in French society1997
18 Brunvand, Erik L.Practical advances in asynchronous designRecent practical advances in asynchronous circuit and system design have resulted in renewed interest by circuit designers.

20 Henderson, Thomas C.Instrumented sensor system - practiceIn 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; ILSS1997

22 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 models1997
23 Liu, FengMagnetization on vicinal ferromagnetic surfacesUsing 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 angle1997
24 Seger, JonNatural history and evolution of paper-waspsPaper-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; Phylogeny1997
25 Sanchez, Thomas W.Exurban and suburban residents: a departure from traditional location theoryDuring 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 theory1997
