76 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): necessity, virtue, and research skillsIn libraries, I think we need to reexamine some of what we?ve come to consider ?virtuous? in our attitudes and behavior. Are these attributes and practices really virtues, or are they only ways of making necessary evils feel less onerous? And are they still necessary?Research skills; Databases; Books2007
77 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): reference services, scalability, and the starfish problemThe problem with traditional reference service is that it isn?t scalable, and the solution to that problem does not lie in improving or expanding reference service, but rather in making traditional reference service less necessary. If only it didn?t feel so good to provide traditional reference serv...Patron service (Libraries); Library catalogs; Library classification systems2007
78 Guilkey, James EdwardImproved velocity projection for the Material Point MethodThe standard velocity projection scheme for the Material Point Method (MPM) and a typical form of the GIMP Method are examined. It is demonstrated that the fidelity of information transfer from a particle representation to the computational grid is strongly dependent on particle density and locati...Material Point Method; GIMP Method; Meshless methods; Velocity projection; Solid mechanics2007
79 Liu, FengImpurity mediated absorption continuum in single-walled carbon nanotubesThe authors demonstrate that in single-walled carbon nanotubes, a weak impurity potential can lead to a strong above-gap absorption continuum. The total absorption is enhanced due to the intraband and indirect transitions, as well as plasmon excitations, which are forbidden in perfect nanotubes. Suc...Carbon nanotubes; SWNT; Defects; Impurities; Above-gap; Absorption continuum2007

81 Silverman, Randall H.Inconvenient legacyThe role of research libraries is to preserve the long-term memory of humankind. Straddling competing interests, they strive to provide unimpeded access to scholarly books while maintaining those same volumes in perpetuity. In practice, these ?Ç£bastions of knowledge?Ç¥ lean toward pragmatic mai...Research libraries; Preservation; Book repair2007
82 Newton, MariaInfluence of leader efficacy and emotional intelligence on personal caring in physical activityScholars in youth development, education, and sport are examining the formative contexts of classrooms, music halls, and playing fields to gain a better understanding of positive development in children. Of particular interest are the leaders in these contexts (e.g., teachers, conductors, and coach...Sport; Motivation; Pedagogy; Leader efficacy; Emotional intelligence2007
83 Kraus, Peter L.Information literacy for German language & literature at the graduate level: new approaches and modelsAt the University of Utah the recent hiring of several new faculty members in the German Language and Literature Section of the Modern Languages department has resulted in an increased demand for library services in the area of instruction and technical support. Areas explored will include approache...Germanic languages; Higher Education; Librarianship2007
84 Couldwell, William T.Interpositional dural graft technique for the treatment of dural arteriovenous fistulasDural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVFs) are acquired direct arteriovenous shunts that often drain into the dural venous sinus. Treatment options generally involve disrupting the abnormal vascular conduits by using a combination of modalities, including surgical disconnection, radiosurgery, and transar...2007

88 Gray, Kathryn E.Linguistic support for unit testingExisting systems for writing unit tests exploit built-in language constructs, such as reflection, to simulate the addition of testing constructs. While these simulations provide the minimally necessary functionality, they fail to support testing properly in many instances. In response, we have ...Java; Testing; Unit testing2007
89 Mathews, V. JohnLow-delay nonuniform pseudo-QMF banks with application to speech enhancementAbstract-This paper presents a method for designing low-delay nonuniform pseudo quadrature mirror filter (QMF) banks. This method is motivated by the work of Li, Nguyen, and Tantaratana, in which the nonuniform filter bank is realized by combining an appropriate number of adjacent sub-bands of a uni...2007
90 Harrison, Reid R.;Normann, Richard A.Low-power integrated circuit for a wireless 100-electrode neural recording systemIn the past decade, neuroscientists and clinicians have begun to use implantable MEMS multielectrode arrays (e.g., [1]) to observe the simultaneous activity of many neurons in the brain. By observing the action potentials, or "spikes," of many neurons in a localized region of the brain it is possibl...Neural recording system; Utah Microelectrode Array; Integrated neural interface2007
91 Fernandez, Diego P.Lowering the detection limit for arsenic: implications for a future practical quantitation limitExposure to arsenic (As) in drinking water is associated with an increased risk ol bladder, liver, kidney, ,ind skin cancers (Smith et al, 2002; NRG DIEGO P. FERNANDEZ, 2001). To mitigate these risks? the US Environmental Protection Agency AND JANET G. HERING (USEPA) revised the maximum contaminant ...Practical quantitation limit; Chlorine2007
92 Adler, Frederick R.; Liou, Theodore G.; Cahill, Barbara C.Lung transplantation and survival in children with cystic fibrosisThe effects of lung transplantation on the survival and quality of life in children with cystic fibrosis are uncertain. We used data from the U.S. Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry and from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network to identify children with cystic fibrosis who were...Life; Infection; Risk; Harm2007
93 Scarpulla, MichaelMagnetic cluster phases of Mn-interstitial-free (Ga,Mn)AsWe report an investigation of magnetic cluster phases of (Ga,Mn)As of varying dosages formed by Mn ion implantation followed by pulsed-laser melting (II-PLM). A systematic study of zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization along several high-symmetry crystallographic directions reveals the ...Magnetic cluster phases; Gallium Arsenide; Ferromagnetic semiconductors; Interstitials2007
94 Symko, Orest GeorgeMagnetic memory of oil paintingsThe color in oil paints is obtained sometimes from magnetic minerals. This fact implies that oil paintings could present an intrinsic magnetization. Magnetic imaging of an oil painting consists in the measurement of magnetic flux related to the magnetization of the painting. In this report results o...Magnetic memory; Oil paintings; Authentication2007
95 Adler, Frederick R.; Feener, Donald H.Maintaining diversity in an ant community: modeling, extending, and testing the dominance-discovery trade-offAnt communities often consist of many species with apparently similar niches. We present a mathematical model of the dominance-discovery trade-off, the trade-off between the abilities to find and to control resources, showing that it can in principle facilitate the coexistence of large numbers of s...Coexistence; Dominant species; Parasitoid2007
96 Liu, FengMaking a field effect transistor on a single graphene nanoribbon by selective dopingUsing first-principles electronic structure calculations, we show a metal-semiconductor transition of a metallic graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges induced by substitutional doping of nitrogen or boron atoms at the edges. A field effect transistor consisting of a metal-semiconductor-metal junctio...Graphene nanoribbon; Selective doping2007

99 Hughes, Kelly T.; Chevance, FabienneMechanism of outer membrane penetration by the eubacterial flagellum and implications for spirochete evolutionThe rod component of the bacterial flagellum polymerizes from the inner membrane across the periplasmic space and stops at a length of 25 nm at the outer membrane. Bushing structures, the P- and L-rings, polymerize around the distal rod and form a pore in the outer membrane. The flagellar hook stru...Flagellar assembly; Spirochete evolution; Membrane penetration2007
