126 Kestle, John R. W.Multicenter prospective cohort study of the Strata valve for the management of hydrocephalus in pediatric patientsObject. Previous reports suggest that adjustable valves may improve the survival of cerebrospinal fluid shunts or relieve shunt-related symptoms. To evaluate these claims, the authors conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study of children who underwent placement of Strata valves. Methods. Pat...Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Strata valve; Adjustable valves; Pediatric neurosurgery2005

128 Miller, Jan D.New developments in mixing, flocculation and flotation for industrial wastewater pretreatment and municipal wastewater treatmentSolid/liquid separations are commonly the first step in any wastewater treatment. Such technologies are mature and new developments are rare. However, in the last decade some significant improvements in separation techniques for industrial waste water pretreatment have been implemented. Advances in ...Wastewater treatment; Flocculation; Flotation; Industrial wastewater pretreatment; Sludge thickening; Mixing2005

131 Furse, Cynthia M.Noise-domain reflectometry for locating wiring faultsAbstract-Reflectometry is commonly used to determine the integrity of cables and wiring. This paper describes a new family of reflectometers, the noise-domain reflectometers (NDR), that uses existing data signals on wiring and does not need to generate any signals of their own. There are two types o...2005

134 Andreou, ChrisoulaOn natural goodness by Philippa FootIn her 1972 paper 'Morality as a System of Hypothetical Imperatives', Philippa Foot boldly challenged the common assumption that viciousness is a form of irrationality and embraced a picture of practical rationality according to which an agent's reasons for action are grounded in nothing other th...Irrationality; Evaluation; Natural defect2005
135 Riloff, Ellen M.OpinionFinder: a system for subjectivity analysisOpinionFinder is a system that performs subjectivity analysis, automatically identifying when opinions, sentiments, speculations and other private states are present in text. Specifically, OpinionFinder aims to identify subjective sentences and to mark various aspects of the subjectivity in the...OpinionFinder; Subjectivity analysis2005
136 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Efros, Alexei L.Optical studies of 2D and 3D metallo-dielectric photonic crystalsWe have fabricated and studied two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) metallo-dielectric photonic crystals (MDPC) in the visible/near ir spectral range using a variety of optical techniques. The 2D MDPC showed anomalous transmission due to surface plasmon polaritons in resonance with the ph...Metallo-dielectric photonic crystals; Organic light emitting diodes; Anomalous transmission; surface plasmon polaritons; Opal photonic crystals; Metal infiltrated opals; Optical reflectivity; Transmission spectra2005
137 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineOptical studies of spin coherence in organic semiconductorsSpin coherence in organic oligomer and polymer semiconductors is a crucial property in determining the performance of organic spin devices. Using the techniques of photo-induced absorption (PA) detected magnetic resonance (PADMR) and photoluminescence (PL) detected magnetic resonance (PLDMR), we ha...Spin coherence; Organic spin devices2005
138 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineOrganic spin-valves: physics and applicationsSpin-valve devices of organic semiconductors in the vertical configuration using a variety of exotic and regular ferromagnetic electrodes were fabricated and studied as a function of applied magnetic field, temperature and applied bias voltage. These devices show that spin polarized carriers can be ...Organic spin-valves; Spin-polarized transport; Spin-polarized carrier injection; Spin polarization2005

140 Ehleringer, James R.Oxygen isotope ratios of waters and respired CO2 in Amazonian forest and pasture ecosystemsThe oxygen isotope ratio (d18O, SMOW) of atmospheric CO2 is a powerful indicator of large-scale CO2 exchange on land. Oxygen isotopic exchange between CO2 and water in leaves and soils controls the d18O of atmospheric CO2. Currently there is little empirical information on the spatial and temporal ...Amazonia; Carbon dioxide (CO2); Oxygen isotope ratio; Photosynthesis; Respiration; Stable isotope ratio; Tropical forests2005
141 Smith, Jackie A.; Lombardo, Nancy T.Patient education workshop on CD-ROM: an innovative approach for staff educationThis article describes an innovative patient education workshop on CD-ROM for use by staff educators and patient education coordinators. The CD-ROM allows nurses to gain an in-depth understanding of patient education practice. With the interactive, computerized format, nurses can complete the worksh...Patient education; Staff education; Nursing2005
142 Liu, FengPattern formation on silicon-on-insulatorThe strain driven self-assembly of faceted Ge nanocrystals during epitaxy on Si(001) to form quantum dots (QDs) is by now well known.
