52 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeEvaluation of the necessity of postoperative imaging after craniosynostosis surgeryObject. Childhood radiation exposure increases the lifetime risk of cancer from an estimated 0.07 to 0.35%. Neurological evaluation of patients after cranial vault reconstruction for synostosis repair is often complicated by pain medication, sedation, intubation, swelling, and dressings; therefore c...Computed tomography; Cranial vault reconstruction; Pediatric neurosurgery; Radiation dose; Postoperative imaging2007
53 Reichler, Thomas J.Expansion of the Hadley cell under global warmingA consistent weakening and poleward expansion of the Hadley circulation is diagnosed in the climate change simulations of the IPCC AR4 project. Associated with this widening is a poleward expansion of the subtropical dry zone. Simple scaling analysis supports the notion that the poleward extent of ...Hadley cell; Climate change; Subtropical dry zone2007
54 Riloff, Ellen M.Exploiting role-identifying nouns and expressions for information extractionWe present a new approach for extraction pattern learning that exploits role-identifying nouns, which are nouns whose semantics reveal the role that they play in an event (e.g., an "assassin" is a perpetrator). Given a few seed nouns, a bootstrapping algorithm automatically learns role-identifying ...Information extraction; Role-identifying; Nouns; Expressions; Pattern learning; Basilisk bootstrapping algorithm2007
55 Shirley, Peter S.; Thompson, William B.Expressive rendering of mountainous terrainPainters and cartographers have developed artistic landscape rendering techniques for centuries.

61 Liu, FengFirst-principles calculation of interaction between interstitial O and As dopant in heavily As-doped SiWe investigate the interaction between interstitial oxygen (Oi) and As dopant in heavily As-doped Si using first-principles total-energy calculations. The interaction between Oi and As (substitutional) is found to be short ranged. The most stable configuration is with As and Oi as second nearest nei...First-principles calculation; Interstitial oxygen; As dopant; As-doped Si; Oxygen diffusion; Oi2007
62 Miller, Jan D.; Nalaskowski, JakubFlotation chemistry and technology of nonsulfide mineralsThe dimensions of nonsulfide flotation technology extend in many directions, as might be expected from the diversity of the mineral classes, which include soluble salt minerals (potash, borax, and trona), semisoluble salt minerals (phosphate minerals, fluorite, calcite, and barite), and insoluble ox...Flotation; Insoluble collectors; Salt minerals; Nonsulfide minerals2007
63 Miller, Joel StevenFormation of Ni[C4(CN)8] from the reaction of Ni(COD)2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with TCNE in THFThe dissolution of Ni(COD)2 (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) into dichloromethane leads to decomposition and formation of a room temperature magnetic material, whereas the reaction of Ni(COD)2 and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in THF forms paramagnetic materials including NiII[C4(CN)8](THF)2.xTHF. These resu...Dinuclear complexes2007
64 Bordelon, Amanda C.Fracture behavior of concrete materials for rigid pavement systemsI would like to thank my adviser, Professor Jeffery Roesler for his guidance and aid throughout my graduate studies. Also I would like to thank the graduate students Cristian Gaedicke, Kyoungsoo Park, Victor Cervantes, and Matthew Beyer for their assistance in various projects for this report. Also ...2007
65 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Fundamentals of vapor phase epitaxial growth processesThe first success with the growth of semiconductor materials by vapor phase epitaxy (VPE) dates back to the 1950's. Today, it is the largest volume technique for the production of both Si and HI/V electronic and photonic devices. Of course, commercial processes for the growth of Si layers, dielectri...Vapor phase epitaxy; Surfactants2007
66 Couldwell, William T.Giant fusiform aneurysm in an adolescent with PHACES syndrome treated with a high-flow external carotid artery-M3 bypassThe acronym PHACES describes a rare neurocutaneous syndrome that comprises posterior fossa malformations, facial hemangiomas, arterial anomalies, coarctation of the aorta and cardiac defects, eye abnormalities, and sternal defects. Facial hemangiomas constitute the hallmark of this disorder. Giant ...2007

73 Sperry, John S.Hydraulic consequences of vessel evolution in angiospermsWe tested two hypotheses for how vessel evolution in angiosperms influenced xylem function. First, the transition to vessels decreased resistance to flow--often considered the driving force for their evolution. Second, the transition to vessels compromised safety from cavitation--a constraint emergi...Cavitation; Resistivity; Perforation2007
74 Wu, Yong-ShiIdentification of androgen response elements in the insulin-like growth factor I upstream promoterTestosterone stimulates the expression of IGF-I in cells and tissues that include prostate, muscle and muscle satellite cells, and the uterus.

75 Couldwell, William T.; Gillespie, David L.; Jensen, Randy L.Identification of hypoxia-induced genes in a malignant glioma cell line (U-251) by cDNA microarray analysisOvercoming the metabolic restrictions of hypoxia may allow the progression of lower-grade tumors to glioblastoma multiforme. Our findings of up-regulation of HIF-1α and its downstream targets VEGF, GLUT-1, and CAIX in higher-grade gliomas support this hypothesis. We compared the gene expression pro...Glioblastoma multiforme; U-251; Hypoxia; Microarray analysis; Brain tumor; Depp; Astrocytoma2007
