Smith, Ken R.; Bean, Lee Lawrence; Mineau, Geraldine Page; Fraser, Alison M.; Lane, Diana | Infant deaths in Utah, 1850-1939 | Of all the health revolutions that have taken place in the United States since 1850, the reduction of infant mortality is arguably the most dramatic and far-reaching. Because of the incompleteness and unreliability of surviving vital records,, we will probably never know precisely the rate of infan... | Death; Utah; Infant mortality | 2002 |

Chapman, David S. | Reply to comment by T.J. Osborn and K. R. Briffa on "Mid-Latitude (30?-60?N) climatic warming inferred by combining borehole temperatures with surface air temperatures" | We thank Osborn and Briffa [2002] for their comment regarding our use of the climatic reconstruction of Overpeck et al. [1997]. We [Harris and Chapman, 2001] had taken a proxy, Arctic wide summer-weighted annual temperature reconstruction [Overpeck et al., 1997], given in dimensionless sigma units (... | Surface air temperature; Ground surface temperature; Borehole temperatures; Geothermal observations; Heat transfer | 2002 |

Goller, Franz | Respiratory motor correlates of song plasticity in young adult zebra finches | Young adult zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata, 90150 phd) sing a stereotyped song, but can show rapid changes in song structure if sensory feedback is disrupted. The vocal motor correlates accompanying induced song plasticity have not yet been examined. To investigate motor changes underlying song ... | Pattern; Muting; Sound | 2002 |

Mathews, V. John; Clark, Edward B. | Mean frequency estimation of narrowband signals and its application to doppler ultrasound blood velocity waveform estimation | ABSTRACT Many applications involving Doppler signals require the accurate estimation of the power-weighted mean frequency over short durations of the signal due to it's nonstationarity. This paper presents a novel algorithm for estimating mean frequencies using the eigenstructure of the covariance ... | | 2002 |

Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L. | Comparable effects of DIGIBIND and DigiFab in thirteen digoxin immunoassays | Digoxin is widely prescribed for the treatment of cardiac conditions (1). Because of its narrow therapeutic range, digoxin-related toxicity resulting from acute or chronic overdose is common. Metabolites of digoxin as well as related compounds, including digitoxin, tanshinones, bufandienolide, a... | DIGIBIND; DigiFab; Digoxin immunoassays; Digoxin toxicity | 2002 |

Chapman, David S. | Exhumation of the central Wasatch Mountains, Utah: 1, Patterns and timing of exhumation deduced from low-temperature thermochronology data | The Wasatch Mountains are often cited as an example of normal fault growth and footwall flexure. They represent a tilted footwall at the edge of the Basin and Range extensional province, a major rift basin. Thus understanding the detailed spatial and elevation changes in coupled thermochronometer da... | Uplift; Exhumation; Wasatch Fault; Wasatch Mountains; Utah; Helium dating; Fission track; Tectonophysics; Extensional tectonics; Geothermal observations | 2002 |
