101 Parker, Steven G.; Hansen, Charles D.Interactive volume rendering of large datasets using the silicon graphics Onyx4 visualization systemMany recent approaches to interactive volume rendering have focused on leveraging the power of commodity graphics hardware. Though currently limited to relatively small datasets, these approaches have been overwhelmingly successful. As the size of volumetric datasets continues to grow at a rapid pa...Volume visualization; Onyx4; Interactive volume rendering; Parallel volume rendering; Large datasets; Visualization systems2005

103 Battin, Margaret P.July 4, 1826: explaining the same-day deaths of John Adams and Thomas JeffersonJohn Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day, July 4, 1826. Both were old men--Adams was 90, and Jefferson was 83--and both were ill, though Adams had been in comparatively robust health until just a few months earlier and Jefferson had been ill for an extended period. They had been rivals,...Coincidence; Synchrony; Bioethics; Euthanasia; Suicide2005
104 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineLinear and nonlinear optical spectroscopies of PPV/PPE copolymer semiconductorsWe used a variety of picosecond transient and cw spectroscopies to investigate the linear and nonlinear optical properties of films of PPE/PPV copolymer semiconductor. The spectroscopies used include absorption, electroabsorption (EA) and two-photon-absorption (TPA). In addition to the odd parity e...Linear optical spectroscopy; Nonlinear optical spectroscopy; PPV/PPE copolymer; pi-conjugated polymers2005
105 Zhang, KangLoss of ER retention and sequestration of the wild-type ELOVL4 by Stargardt disease dominant negative mutantsPURPOSE: Mutations in ELOVL4, a member of the fatty acid elongase (ELO) family, are responsible for autosomal dominant Stargardt-like macular degeneration. The specific role of ELOVL4 in photoreceptors and the degenerative events induced by dominant ELOVL4 mutations are not well understood. As a fir...Macular Degeneration; Transcription Factor CHOP; Molecular Chaperones2005
106 Bohs, Lynn A.Major clades in Solanum based on ndhF sequence dataAnalysis of sequence data from the chloropiast gene ndhF identifies at least 12 major well-supported clades within the genus Solanum. These are briefly described, given informal clade names, and compared with the groups recognized by previous Solanum workers. Non-molecular synapomorphies are propos...Solanum; ndhF2005
107 Chuaqui, Miguel BasimMareasIn Mareas (Tides), the dark timbre of the alto flute is immersed in a dark, watery, electronic sea. The bell sounds in the work evoke for me the bells of fishing boats as they toss around in choppy waters. These are sounds I first heard in the port of Valparaíso, Chile as a boy, their rhythm being ...Tides; Carlton Vickers; Chilean music; Bell sounds2005

115 Beckerle, Mary C.; Yoshigi, Masaaki; Hoffman, Laura M.; Yost, H. JosephMechanical force mobilizes zyxin from focal adhesions to actin filaments and regulates cytoskeletal reinforcementOrgans and tissues adapt to acute or chronic mechanical stress by remodeling their actin cytoskeletons. Cells that are stimulated by cyclic stretch or shear stress in vitro undergo bimodal cytoskeletal responses that include rapid reinforcement and gradual reorientation of actin stress fibers; howev...Zyxin; Actin2005
116 Liu, FengMechanical stability of ultrathin Ge/Si film on SiO2: the effect of Si/SiO2 interfaceWe perform two-dimensional linear elastic finite element analysis to investigate the mechanical stability of ultrathin Ge/Si film grown on or bonded to SiO2, using imperfect interface elements between Si and SiO2 to model Si/SiO2 interfacial slippage. We demonstrate that the overall composite film i...Ultrathin films; Si/SiO2 interface; Mechanical stability2005
117 Baehr, WolfgangMetabolism and transactivation activity of 13,14-dihydroretinoic acidThe metabolism of vitamin A is a highly regulated process that generates essential mediators involved in the development, cellular differentiation, immunity, and vision of vertebrates. Retinol saturase converts all-trans-retinol to all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol (Moise, A.

118 Balasubramonian, RajeevMicroarchitectural wire management for performance and power in partitioned architecturesFuture high-performance billion-transistor processors are likely to employ partitioned architectures to achieve high clock speeds, high parallelism, low design complexity, and low power. In such architectures, inter-partition communication over global wires has a significant impact on overall proc...Microarchitecture; Partitioned architectures; Heterogeneous interconnects; Cache access2005
119 Furse, Cynthia M.Miniaturized biocompatible microstrip antenna using genetic algorithmBiocompatible antennas are an area of recent research that can facilitate remote communication with medical implants. This paper shows several possible designs of a "waffle-type" antenna created using genetic algorithms (GAs) that are of a size potentially suitable for cardiac pacemakers in 402-405 ...2005
120 Silverman, Randall H.Misperceptions about White GlovesCollection care and handling policies that mandate curators and/or patrons to wear gloves when handling archival and library materials need reexamining. Contrary to popular opinion, gloves provide no guarantee of protection from perspiration and dirt. Further, they increase the likelihood of physica...Library materials, Conservation and restoration2005
121 Silverman, Randall H.Misperceptions about white glovesAwkward mobility. Loss of feeling. Impaired sensations. These are not descriptions of a trip to the dentist, but rather a visit to the reading rooms of many special collections where the experience of handling valuable rare books and documents is synonymous with donning white cotton gloves. This pap...2005
122 Wolfinger, Nicholas H.Mixed blessings of no-fault divorceBetween the mid-1960s and 1979 the crude divorce rate in the United States more than doubled.1 Although divorce had increased at a steady rate for more than the previous 100 years, the mid-1960s marked the beginning of an unprecedented boom.2 Despite modest declines over the last twenty years,3 th...Divorce reform2005
123 Stevens, KennethModeling and verifying circuits using generalized relative timingWe propose a novel technique for modeling and verifying timed circuits based on the notion of generalized relative timing. Generalized relative timing constraints can express not just a relative ordering between events, but also some forms of metric timing constraints. Circuits modeled using gener...2005
124 Eddings, Eric G.; Sarofim, Adel F.Modeling benzene and naphthalene formation in a premixed propylene flameThe Utah Surrogate Mechanism was used to model a fuel-rich, non-sooting premixed laminar flame of propylene at 5000 Pa with an equivalence ratio of 2.32. The simulation results were found to be satisfactory in comparison with the experimental data. For example, the measured concentration profiles of...Utah Surrogate Mechanism; Propylene; Combustion modeling; Benzene formation; Naphthalene formation2005
125 Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B.Modeling the amplification dynamics of human Alu retrotransposonsRetrotransposons have had a considerable impact on the overall architecture of the human genome. Currently, there are three lineages of retrotransposons (Alu, L1, and SVA) that are believed to be actively replicating in humans. While estimates of their copy number, sequence diversity, and levels of ...Retrotransposons; Amplification dynamics; Mutation; Human-chimpanzee divergence2005
