76 Bedrov, DmitroMolecular dynamics simulation study of the pressure-volume-temperature behavior of polymers under high pressureIsothermal compression of poly (dimethylsiloxane), 1,4-poly(butadiene), and a model Estane® (in both pure form and a nitroplasticized composition similar to PBX-9501 binder) at pressures up to 100 kbars has been studied using atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Comparison of predicted co...2009
77 Myers, Chris J.; Jones, KevinNew verification method for embedded systemsAbstract-Verification of embedded systems is complicated by the fact that they are composed of digital hardware, analog sensors and actuators, and low level software. In order to verify the interaction of these heterogeneous components, it would be beneficial to have a single modeling formalism that...2009
78 Balasubramonian, RajeevNon-uniform power access in large caches with low-swing wiresModern processors dedicate more than half their chip area to large L2 and L3 caches and these caches contribute significantly to the total processor power. A large cache is typically split into multiple banks and these banks are either connected through a bus (uniform cache access - UCA) or an on-c...Large caches; Low-swing wires; Non Uniform Cache Access; NUCA2009
79 Kirby, Robert Michael IIOn the use of adjoint-based sensitivity estimates to control local mesh refinementThe goal of efficient and robust error control, through local mesh adaptation in the computational solution of partial differential equations, is predicated on the ability to identify in an a posteriori way those localized regions whose refinement will lead to the most significant reductions in the ...Sensitivity; Adaptivity; Error estimation; hp-finite elements; Discrete adjoint; Mesh refinement2009
80 Couldwell, William T.; Harnsberger, H. RicOronasopharyngeal chordomasBackground: Chordomas are rare tumors derived from notochordal remnants. The authors report on a series of three cases of primary familial oronasopharyngeal chordomas treated at our institution. Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed of the three cases of primary familial oronasopharyng...Oronasopharyngeal; Chordoma; Pharynx; Notochord; Transoral; Skull base2009
81 Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A.Pests vs. drought as determinants of plant distribution along a tropical rainfall gradientUnderstanding the mechanisms that shape the distribution of organisms can help explain patterns of local and regional biodiversity and predict the susceptibility of communities to environmental change. In the species-rich tropics, a gradient in rainfall between wet evergreen and dry seasonal forests...Drought tolerance; Herbivory; Panama; Pathogen attack; Rainfall gradient; Tree distribution; Tropical forests2009

84 Stevens, KennethPower reduction through physical placement of asynchronous routersOur work reduces power consumption by minimizing wirelength and hop-count of an asynchronous NoC using simulated annealing and force-directed algorithms. Asynchronous NoCs (aNoCs) can provide important benefits over clocked NoCs. However, there is little published research on generating a custom, ...2009
85 DuVall, Scott L.Preserving academic poster contentPosters are an important way to share information between academia and industry. They are presented at national conferences, regional meetings, and even in university departments. There were almost 75,000 calls for poster submissions last year alone. Most posters are presented for only a few hours...Poster preservation; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009

87 Tasdizen, TolgaPrincipal neighborhood dictionaries for nonlocal means image denoisingWe present an in-depth analysis of a variation of the nonlocal means (NLM) image denoising algorithm that uses principal component analysis (PCA) to achieve a higher accuracy while reducing computational load. Image neighborhood vectors are first projected onto a lower dimensional subspace using PC...2009
88 Utz, Rebecca L.Procedure to correct proxy-reported weight in the National Health Interview Survey, 1976-2002Background: Data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) show a larger-than-expected increase in mean BMI between 1996 and 1997. Proxy-reports of height and weight were discontinued as part of the 1997 NHIS redesign, suggesting that the sharp increase between 1996 and 1997 may be artifactua...National Health Interview Survey; NHIS; Proxy-reported weight2009
89 Stevens, KennethRadiation hardening by design of asynchronous logic for hostile environmentsA wide range of emerging applications is driving the development of wireless sensor node technology towards a monolithic system-on-a-chip implementation. Of particular interest are hostile environment scenarios where radiation and thermal extremes exist. Radiation hardening by design has been recogn...2009

DennisRestructuring the Sunan model, globalizing regional development: trajectories of development in Kunshan, ChinaThis paper attempts to advance the research on globalization and regional development in China through a study of Kunshan City. We investigate the restructuring process, the structure of FDI, and the nature of global-local networks to understand trajectories and models of regional development in the...Sunan Model; Regional development; Transnational corporations; Kushan City2009
97 Battin, Margaret P.Review of euthanasia and law in EuropeEuthanasia and Law in Europe is an examination of physician-assisted dying or physician performed euthanasia and the laws concerning these practices in European jurisdictions where the issue has been most visible.

98 Harrison, Reid R.Revolution will be prosthetizedIt's October at Duke University, in Durham, N.C., and Jonathan Kuniholm is playing "air guitar hero," a variation on Guitar Hero, the Nintendo Wii game that lets you try to keep up with real musicians using a vaguely guitarlike controller. But the engineer is playing without a guitar. More to the p...2009
