 | Adler, Frederick R. | Stumped by trees? A generalized null model for patterns of organismal diversity | Evolutionary biologists increasingly have become interested in the factors determining the structure of phylogenetic trees. For example, highly asymmetric trees seem to suggest that the probability of extinction and/or speciation differs among lineages. | Evolutionary diversification; phylogenetic topologies; speciation | 1995 |

 | Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas Lee | Outcomes after decompressive craniectomy for severe traumatic brain injury in children | Object. Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often accompanied by early death due to transtentorial herniation. Decompressive craniectomy, performed alone or in conjunction with evacuation of the mass lesion, can reduce the incidence of raised intracranial pressure (ICP). In this paper the authors... | Traumatic brain injury; Decompressive craniectomy; Pediatric neurosurgery | 2006 |

 | Miller, Jan D. | Spectroscopic analysis of passivation reactions for carbonaceous matter from carlin trend ores | Abstract. Three different refractory carbonaceous gold ores from the Carlin operation in northeastern Nevada were investigated to characterize the effect of passivation treatments on the nature of the carbonaceous material. The carbonaceous material was chemically isolated from the ores and pass... | Gold; chlorine; cyanidation | 1990 |

 | Horch, Kenneth W. | Intraspinal microstimulation using cylindrical multielectrodes | A cylindrical multielectrode system specifically designed for intraspinal microstimulation was mechanically and electrically evaluated in the ventral horn of the feline lumbo-sacral spinal cord. Electrode insertions proved to be straight as evaluated from radiographs. Impedances were measured in s... | Cylindrical multielectrode; Microstimulation; Neural prosthesis; Current distance constants; Electrode array; Spinal cord stimulation | 2006-02 |

 | Couldwell, William T. | Definition of the role of contemporary surgical management in cisternal and parenchymatous cysticercosis cerebri | With increasing immigration from endemic regions, the incidence of neurocysticercosis in North America is rising. This retrospective study was undertaken to examine the role of surgery in those cases presenting with large cystic parenchymal and cisternal lesions in the current era of anthelminthic a... | Brain cyst; Computed tomography; Neurocysticercosis; Magnetic resonance imaging; Praziquantel; Stereotaxis | 1991 |

 | Pershing, David W. | Influence of fuel composition and flame temperature on the formation of thermal and fuel NOx in residual oil flames | A 900 kw model package boiler and a 20 kw laboratory tunnel furnace were used to study fuel and thermal NO, formation during heavy oil combustion. Package boiler results indicated that atomizer design, spray/ flow field interactions, and fuel composition were significant, dependent parameters. These... | Residual oil flames | 1979 |

 | Kestle, John R. W.; MacDonald, Joel D.; Couldwell, William T. | Efficacy of multiple intraarterial papaverine infusions for improvement in cerebral circulation time in patients with recurrent cerebral vasospasm | Object. Cerebral vasospasm that is caused by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and that is refractory to maximal medical management can be treated with selective intraarterial papaverine infusions. The effects of single papaverine treatments on cerebral circulation time are well known. The purpose ... | Cerebral vasospasm; Intraarterial papaverine infusions | 2004 |
