51 Scarpulla, MichaelFabrication of GaNxAs1-x quantum structures by focused ion beam patterningA novel approach to the fabrication of GaNxAs1-x quantum dots and wires via ion beam patterning is presented. Photomodulated reflectance spectra confirm that N can be released from the As sublattice of an MBE-grown GaNxAs1-x film by amorphization through ion implantation followed by regrowth upon r...Gallium arsenide; Quantum dots; Quantum wires; Thermal annealing2005
52 Couldwell, William T.False-negative magnetic resonance angiography with extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis: a report of two cases and review of the literatureMagnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is increasingly used as a noninvasive means to assess internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. When used alone, however, MRA may not be sufficiently accurate in certain settings to determine whether ICA disease meets surgical criteria. Although MRA has been recogn...Internal carotid artery stenosis; Magnetic resonance angiography2005
53 Couldwell, William T.Far-lateral transcondylar approach: surgical technique and its application in neurenteric cysts of the cervicomedullary junctionNeurenteric cysts are rare benign lesions of the central nervous system that are lined by endodermal cell-derived epithelium. Although they occur mostly in the spine, they can occur intracranially, most often in the posterior fossa. Neurenteric cysts that are located in the anterior cervicomedullary...2005
54 Harrison, Reid R.Fly like a flyTHIS FALL, several biologist colleagues of mine plan to build a movie theater for houseflies. In fact, it's a miniature IMAX theater-complete with a panoramic screen-inside of which they'll place a tiny rotating cage, a downsized version of the ones that astronauts use to simulate tumbling in spa...2005

57 Bohs, Lynn A.Four-gene study of evolutionary relationships in Solanum section AcanthophoraThe "spiny solanums," Solanum subgenus Leptostemonum (Solanaceae), comprise a large lineage with over 350 species and include the cultivated eggplant, Solanum melongena. Despite the importance of this subgenus, phylogenetic relationships among these taxa are currently unclear.

58 Schmidt, Meic H.Frameless stereotactic image-guided C1-C2 transarticular screw fixation for atlantoaxial instability: review of 20 patientsAtlantoaxial instability can result from trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, congenital malformation, or tumor invasion. The goal of treatment is stabilization of the C1-C2 complex to prevent neurologic and neurovascular compromise. First described in 1987 by Magerl and Seemann, C1-C2 transarticular screw...Transarticular screws; Atlantoaxial instability; Frameless stereotaxy; Cervical spine; Surgical navigation; Trajectory planning2005
59 Thalos, Mariam G.From paradox to judgment: an essay on the metaphysics of expressionThe Liar sentence is a singularly important piece of philosophical evidence.

61 Normann, Richard A.Functional reorganization of primary visual cortex induced by electrical stimulation in the cat.Compared to the high degree of plasticity observed in a juvenile, mature sensory cortices have long been held to be immutable but, recently, researchers have suggested some plasticity persists in the mature cortex. Cortical reorganization has particular saliency to the development of a cortically ba...Cat; Electrophysiology; Phosphene; Plasticity; Receptive Field; Striate Cortex2005
62 Landesman, Margaret M.Getting it right - the evolution of reference collectionsSUMMARY. Reference works were present in the earliest libraries; and their numbers have grown inexorably ever since. They consume an increasing share of library acquisitions budgets. This article traces the evolution of reference collections, drawing on experiences at the author's library. The autho...History, reference works; Library, reference sources; Reference media2005
63 Maloney, Thomas N.Ghettos and jobs in history: neighborhood effects on African American occupational status and mobility in World War I-era Cincinnati, OhioThis article examines how residence in racially segregated neighborhoods affected the job prospects of African American men in the late 1910s. The analysis focuses on one northern city-Cincinnati, Ohio.The evidence comes from a new longitudinal dataset containing information on individuals linked...Economic outcomes; Residential segregation; Black urban neighborhoods2005
64 Aldous, Jay A.Guide to oral health for non-dental health providersOral health and disease topics are not given significant coverage in the non-dental health professional curriculum.

65 Armentrout, Peter B.Guided ion-beam studies of the kinetic-energy-dependent reactions of Con+ (n=2-16) with D2: cobalt cluster-deuteride bond energiesThe kinetic-energy-dependent cross sections for the reactions of Con + (n=2-16) with D2 are measured as a function of kinetic energy over a range of 0-8 eV in a guided ion-beam tandem mass spectrometer. The observed products are ConD+ for all clusters and ConD2+ for n=4,5,9-16.Cobalt ions; Metal clusters; Deuteride; Collision-induced dissociation; Endothermic reactions; Bond energies2005
