4 Malloy, Thomas E.; Hansen, K. GeneReductions in criminality subsequent to group, individual, and family therapy in adolescent residential and day treatment settingsThe complete population of adolescents in a residential and day-treatment program over a 4-year period, 532youths, served in two studies. Along with residential and day-treatment settings, predictive variables of interest were the number of hours spent in group, individual, and family therapy. A tot...Group therapy; Individual therapy; Family therapy1999

7 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineLaser action in polydialkylfluorene films: influence of low-temperature thermal treatmentWe have used a variety of optical probes to investigate the changes occurring upon low-temperature thermal treatment to the emissive properties of dialkyl substituted polyfluorene thin films. We found that the low-temperature-driven morphological changes involving aggregates formation, which are ob...Laser action; Polydialkylfluorene films; pi-conjugated polymers; Thermal treatment1999
8 Miller, Joel StevenSpin crossover behavior of [FeII(isoxazole)6][BF4]2--a structural study[FeII(isoxazole)6][BF4]2 undergoes two reversible spin crossover transitions at 91 and 192 K and the single crystal structure determination reveals two different iron sites, Fe1 and Fe2, in a 1 : 2 ratio, with Fe1 attributed to the 91 K transition, and Fe2 attributed to the 192 K transition. This is...Transition; Magnetic; Temperature1999
9 Sperry, John S.Relationship between xylem conduit diameter and cavitation caused by freezingThe centrifuge method for measuring the resistance of xylem to cavitation by water stress was modified to also account for any additional cavitation that might occur from a freeze-thaw cycle. A strong correlation was found between cavitation by freezing and mean conduit diameter.Embolism; freezing stress; hydraulic conductivity1999

11 Sokolsky, PierreAn analog light scattering experiment of hexagonal icelike particles. part I: experimental apparatus and test measurementsAn experimental apparatus to measure the scattering properties of hexagonal icelike particles in the analog manner at the helium neon laser wavelength of 0.633 mm has been designed and built. The instrument consists of an array of 36 highly sensitive and linear photodiode detectors that are positi...1999
12 Seger, Jon1998 Sewall Wright Award: William Donald HamiltonThe Sewall Wright Award was established in 1991 to honor active investigators who have contributed in especially significant ways to the conceptual unification of the biological sciences. This year's recipient is William D. Hamilton of Oxford University. Beginning in the 1960s with his papers on the...Evolution; Biological; Research1999
13 Miller, Joel StevenCollinear ferromagnetism and spin orientation in the molecule-based magnets M[N(CN)2]2 (M=Co,Ni)Zero-field unpolarized neutron powder diffraction has been used to study the low-T magnetic structure and T-dependent crystal structure of M[N(CN)2]2 (M=Co,Ni). Both compounds show collinear ferromagnetism with spin orientation along the c axis. The results provide the determination of a complete ma...Magnetic; Diffraction; Structure1999
14 Breaderson, Dean J.The I3Stick: an inexpensive, immersive, interaction deviceVirtual environments require interaction devices that are intuitive and ergonomic, yet capable of many input parameters. Many devices satisfying these requirements can be expensive, difficult to manipulate, and often require the integration of large software libraries with existing applications. We ...Virtual environments; I3Stick; Interaction devices1999
15 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineUltrafast studies of laser-action in poly-(p-pherylene vinylene) filmsThe recent demonstration of emission spectral narrowing in ∏-conjugated polymer has stirred widespread interest to the phenomenon of laser-action in these materials. It is now generally believed that spectral narrowing in superior polymer films is caused by amplified spontaneous emission (i.e. si...Ultrafast studies; Poly-(p-pherylene vinylene); PPV; Laser-action1999
16 Brunvand, Erik L.Peephole optimization of asynchronous macromodule networksAbstract- Most high-level synthesis tools for asynchronous circuits take descriptions in concurrent hardware description languages and generate networks of macromodules or handshake components. In this paper, we propose a peephole optimizer for these networks. Our peephole optimizer first deduces an...1999
17 White, Nicholas P.Review of Jan Szaif: Platons Begriff der WahrheitThis work, a dissertation, contains two main parts. One occupies pp. 25-324, the other pp. 327-509. A brief passage, pp. 510-531, connects them. The first part treats the uses of alethes and cognates in Plato's early and middle works; the second mainly deals with the problems in the Theaetetus and ...1999
18 Clayton, Dale H.Swiftlets on islands: genetics and phylogeny of the Seychelles and Mascarene swiftletsPopulations on islands are isolated from mainland populations and are thus expected to diverge and speciate from mainland relatives. We investigated die phylogenetic position and taxonomic rank of the Seychelles and Mascarene swiftlets using nuclear (fibrinogen intron 7) and mitochondrial (cytochr...Aerodramus Francicus; Aerodramus elaphrus; Collocalia; Apodidae; Cytochrome b; Fibrinogen intron 7; Echolocation; Seychelles; Mascarene Islands1999
19 Beckerle, Mary C.Purification and characterization of an α-actinin-binding PDZ-LIM protein that is up-regulated during muscle differentiationα-Actinin is required for the organization and function of the contractile machinery of muscle. In order to understand more precisely the molecular mechanisms by which α-actinin might contribute to the formation and maintenance of the contractile apparatus within muscle cells, we performed a scree...LIM domains; Z-disc; Actin; Actinin-associated LIM proteins; PDZ-LIM protein1999
20 Riloff, Ellen M.Learning dictionaries for information extraction by multi-level bootstrappingInformation extraction systems usually require two dictionaries: a semantic lexicon and a dictionary of extraction patterns for the domain. We present a multilevel bootstrapping algorithm that generates both the semantic lexicon and extraction patterns simultaneously. As input, our technique requir...Information extraction; Extraction patterns; Multi-level bootstrapping; Learning dictionaries1999
21 Jorgensen, ErikCaenorhabditis elegans unc-49 locus encodes multiple subunits of a heteromultimeric GABA receptorIonotropic GABA receptors generally require the products of three subunit genes. By contrast, the GABA receptor needed for locomotion in Caenorhabditis elegans requires only the unc-49 gene. We cloned unc-49 and demonstrated that it possesses an unusual overlapping gene structure.1999
22 Barusch, AmandaDepressive symptoms in the frail elderly: physical and psycho-social correlatesThe elderly who suffer from chronic illness are at unusually high risk of depression and depressive symptoms. This study was conducted to describe the prevalence of depressive symptoms in a sample of chronically-ill elders and to examine the relationship between physical illness and depression, bot...Physical correlates; Psycho-social correlates1999
23 Clayton, Dale H.Feather-busting bacteriaI ONCE HAD A COLLEAGUE who delighted in the aphorism, which he proudly coined himself, "If it's too small to see with the naked eye, it ain't there." Sadly, this view may as well be true for ornithologists who study birds only through unaided eyes, binoculars, or spotting scopes. But birds can also ...Columba livia; Columbiformes; Ectoparasites; Bacteria; Plumage1999
