102 Gerig, GuidoEarly postnatal development of corpus callosum and corticospinal white matter assessed with quantitative tractographyBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The early postnatal period is perhaps the most dynamic phase of white matter development. We hypothesized that the early postnatal development of the corpus callosum and corticospinal tracts could be studied in unsedated healthy neonates by using novel approaches to diffusion...2007-01-01
103 Johnston, Susan S.; Hawken, Leanne SuePreventing severe problem behavior in young children: the behavior education programBest practice in preventing severe problem behavior in schools involves implementing a continuum of effective behavior support.

105 Kopta, Daniel M.; Kensler, Andrew Erin; Spjut, Josef Bo; Brunvand, Erik L.; Davis, AlFast, effective BVH updates for dynamic ray-traced scenes using tree rotationsBounding volume hierarchies are a popular choice for ray tracing animated scenes due to the relative simplicity of refitting bounding volumes around moving geometry. However, the quality of such a refitted tree can degrade rapidly if objects in the scene deform or rearrange significantly as the ...Ray tracing; Acceleration structures; Bounding volume hierarchies; Tree rotations; Dynamic scenes; Parallel update2011

107 Wu, Yong-ShiManifestations of Berry's topological phase for the photonRecently, Berry recognized in quantum mechanics a topological phase factor arising from the adiabatic transport of a system around a closed circuit, which is essentially the Aharonov-Bohm effect in parameter space. Here we consider manifestations of this phase factor for a photon in a state of adia...Aharonov-Bohm effect; Optical fibers; Waveguide1986-08
108 Dawson, KyleMasses of high-redshift clusters via SZ effect observationsWe present Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (SZE) observations of distant, highly X-ray luminous clusters of galaxies. We use the SZE data to constrain their total masses, independent of X-ray observations. To do this, we assume the clusters have the same gas mass fraction as that derived from SZE measure...Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect; X-rays; Redshift2002
109 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineCylindrical micolasers and light emitting devices from conducting polymersSubstantially improved, photopumped polymer lasers are demonstrated using microrings and microdisks of various diameters D ranging from 5 to 200 mm. Various cavity-dependent laser modes were observed, which for D,10 mm were dominated by a single longitudinal mode with linewidth of less than 1 Å. Th...Cylindrical micolasers; OLED; Photopumped polymer lasers; Microrings; Microdisks; Microlasers1998
110 Eddings, EricHydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae over transition metal supported TiO2 catalystHydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae Nannochloropsis (NAS) over various transition metal M/TiO2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, and Mn) was investigated. Ni/TiO2 was the most effective catalyst to improve the yield and quality of biocrude and the liquefaction conversion. Ni/TiO2 was characterized ...Hydrothermal liquefaction Microalgae; Catalyst; Biocrude; Ni/TiO22017
111 Olivera, Baldomero M.Modulation of conotoxin structure and function is achieved through a multienzyme complex in the venom glands of cone snailsBackground: Conotoxins can be utilized to investigate enzyme-assisted folding of disulfide-rich peptides. Results: Various ER-resident cone snail enzymes act in concert to accelerate the oxidative folding of conotoxins and modulate their conformation by reconfiguring disulfide connectivities. Conclu...2012-01-01
112 Boll, Steven F.Selected methods for improving synthesis speech quality using linear predictive coding: system description, coefficient smoothing and streakThis report develops two generalizations of the standard Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) implementation of a narrow band speech compression system. The purpose of each method is to improve the speech quality that is available from a standard LPC system.Linear Predictive Coding; LPC; Speech compression system; Pitch excited system1974
113 Saam, BrianAsymptotic and intermediate long-time behavior of nuclear free induction decays in polycrystalline solids and powdersFree induction decay (FID) measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in a polycrystalline solid is the isotropic average of the FIDs for individual single crystallites. It has been recently proposed theoretically and verified experimentally that the long-time behavior of single-crystal FIDs has t...2012-01-01
114 Dailey, Andrew T.Magnetic resonance neurography for cervical radiculopathy: a preliminary reportMAGNETIC RESONANCE NEUROGRAPHY was used to directly image cervical spinal nerves in patients with clinical and radiographic evidence of cervical radiculopathy. A magnetic resonance imaging phased-array coil system was used to obtain high-resolution coronal T1-weighted spin echo, coronal/axial T2-wei...1996
115 DeTar, CarletonExotic meson spectroscopy from the clover action at β = 5.85 and 6.15*We repeat our original simulations of the hybrid meson spectrum using the clover action, as a check on lattice artifacts. Our results for the 1−+ masses do not substantially change. We present preliminary results for the wave function of the 1−+ state in Coulomb gauge.Clover action; Quark spectroscopy1999-03
116 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Yoshikami, Doju; Bulaj, GrzegorzStructural basis for tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium channel binding by μ-conotoxin SmIIIASmIIIA is a new μ-conotoxin isolated recently from Conus stercusmuscarum. Although it shares several biochemical characteristics with other μ-conotoxins (the arrangement of cysteine residues and a conserved arginine believed to interact with residues near the channel pore), it has several distin...Conotoxins; Conotoxin SmIIIA; Tetrodotoxin2003

118 Gerig, GuidoWhite matter microstructure and atypical visual orienting in 7 month-olds at risk for autismObjective: The authors sought to determine whether specific patterns of oculo-motor functioning and visual orientingcharacterize 7-month-old infants who later meet criteria for an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and to identify the neural correlates of these behaviors. Method:Data were collected from...2013-01-01
119 Carrier, David R.Human flight and exercise in microgravityEarly experimenters in human flight learned, sometimes with fatal consequences, that the human body lacks the muscular power to fly (1). Indeed, the power demands are so great that only relatively small animals (less than 12 kg) are able to fly actively due to the interplay of morphologic scaling (m...Human flight; Microgravity2000
120 Digre, Kathleen B.; Warner, Judith E. A.; Bernstein, Paul S.; Alder, Stephen C.Vitamin A in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with and without idiopathic intracranial hypertensionWe quantified vitamin A in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension, elevated intracranial pressure of other causes and normal intracranial pressure.
