1 Miller, Joel Steven[Et4N]2[TCNE]2 (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene) - an example of an exceptionally long 2.827 Ã CC bondInterest in organic compounds exhibiting unusually long CC bonds has been the subject of several recent studies.1-3 The longest sp3-sp3 C-C single bond reported to date is 1.73 A°,1,2 whereas several [TCNE]22- (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene) dimers have been recently reported to form cation-assisted, l...Synthesis; Crystal; Solution2001
2 Fogel, Alan DaleA relational perspective on the development of self and emotionBegin with two premises. First, psychological experience always implies a connection, a relationship: with another person, with cultural tools or language, or with the natural environment. Life is a network of relationships. Second, psychological experience is always dynamic and changing. The sim...2001
3 Fogel, Alan DaleA relational perspective on the development of self and emotionThis work was funded in part by a grant to the author from the United States National Institute of Mental Health (MH48680 and MH57669). I am grateful to the following individuals for their comments on this chapter: Kari Applegate, Trevor Burnsed, Jacqueline Fogel, J'lene George, Ilse de Koeijer, ...2001
4 Myers, Chris J.A standard-cell self-timed multiplier for energy and area critical synchronous systemsThis paper describes the design of a standard-cell self-timed multiplier for use in energy and area critical synchronous systems. The area of this multiplier is bounded by N rather than N2 as seen in more traditional combinational parallel array designs, where N is the word size. Energy has a polyn...2001
5 Anderson, Richard BryanAcquisitions in a wired world: where are we going?This is a frightening time to be a thirty-something acquisitions librarian. Convention dictates that I follow up that statement by saying that this is also a very exciting time to be a thirty-something acquisitions librarian, but I'll tell you what: it's mainly just scary. I worry a lot about wha...Libraries; Acquisitions; Librarians; Future; Electronic libraries2001
6 Armentrout, Peter B.Activation of methane by size-elected iron cluster cations, Fen+ (n=2-15): cluster-CHx (x=0-3) bond energies and reaction mechanismsThe kinetic energy dependences of the reactions of Fen + (n=2 - 15) with CD4 are studied in a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer over the energy range of 0-10 eV. All reactions exhibit thresholds and two main products, FenD+ and FenCD2+, are formed.Metal clusters; Iron ions; Bond energies; Dehydrogenation; Endothermic reactions; Transition metal ions2001
7 Mathews, V. JohnAn adaptive channel estimator for CDMA systems in multipath fading channelsABSTRACT CDMA systems in multipath fading channels need to estimate channel parameters for coherent detection of the transmitted signals. In this paper we present a simple but effective channel estimation algorithm that can be incorporated into most types of multiuser receivers to obtain good dete...2001

10 Myers, Chris J.Analog decoding of product codesA design approach is presented for soft-decision decoding of block product codes ("block turbo codes") using analog computation with MOS devices. Application of analog decoding to large code sizes is also considered with the introduction of serial analog interfaces and pipeline schedules.2001
11 Myers, Chris J.; Schlegel, ChristianAnalog MAP decoder for (8, 4) hamming code in subthreshold CMOSAn all-MOS analog implementation of a MAP decoder is presented for the (8, 4) extended Hamming code. This paper describes the design and analysis of a tail-biting trellis decoder implementation using subthreshold CMOS devices. A VLSI test chip has recently returned from fabrication, and preliminary ...2001
12 Myers, Chris J.; Schlegel, ChristianAnalog MAP decoder for (8, 4) hamming code in subthreshold CMOSAbstract - An all-MOS analog tail-biting MAP decoder is presented for an (8,4) Hamming code. The decoder implements a probability propagation algorithm using subthreshold CMOS networks. Physical results verify the expected behavior of the decoderand demonstrate robustness of analog decoding circuit...2001
13 Sanchez, Thomas W.Are planners prepared to address social justice and distributional equity?Planners have stated their commitment and responsibility to assure fairness in community and regional planning activities. Evidencing this is an abundance of literature on the theoretical perspectives of social justice and planning ideals. But is this stated concern for social justice and equity re...2001
14 Couldwell, William T.Astrocytoma cell lineTO THE EDITOR: It has long been established clinically that patients with neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) have an increased susceptibility to develop many central and peripheral tumors. The nature of the genetic alterations underlying NF1 have recently begun to be characterized. It has been demo...2001
15 Landesman, Bruce M.Berman, Marshall. Adventures in marxismThis book contains an introduction and thirteen short pieces previously published in such journals as the Nation, the New York Times Book Review, New Politics, and Dissent, dating from 1963 to 1998.Capitalism; Human; System2001
16 Mathews, V. JohnBlind identification of bilinear systemsAbstract This paper is concerned with the blind identification of bilinear systems excited by higher-order white noise. Unlike prior work that restricted the bilinear system model to simple forms and required the excitation to be Gaussian distributed, the results of this paper are applicable to a m...2001
17 McDaniel, SusanBorn at the right time?: gendered generations and webs of entitlement and responsibilityAnalyses of social change and challenge in sociologies for women often start with some attention to generation. Yet, generation per se has been an underconceptualized sociological construct as a structural dimension of stratification, particularly gender stratification, or as a lens through which...Generation; Gender; Women2001
18 Golden, Kenneth M.Brine percolation and the transport properties of sea iceSea ice is distinguished from many other porous composites, such as sandstones or bone, in that its microstructure and bulk material properties can vary dramatically over a small temperature range. For brine-volume fractions below a critical value of about 5%, which corresponds to a critical tempera...Brine volume; Percolation theory; Connectedness properties2001
19 Baehr, WolfgangCalcium-sensitive regions of GCAP1 as observed by chemical modifications, fluorescence, and EPR spectroscopiesGuanylyl cyclase-activating proteins are EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding proteins that belong to the calmodulin superfamily. They are involved in the regulation of photoreceptor membrane-associated guanylyl cyclases that produce cGMP, a second messenger of vertebrate vision. Here, we investigated changes in ...Amino Acid Motifs; Cyclic N-Oxides; EF Hand Motifs2001
20 Lighty, Joann; Sarofim, Adel F.Carbon dioxide effects on metal vaporization during coal combustionCoal combustion products may take one of two forms. Residual ash (> 1 micron) is formed by particle shrinkage and breaking during combustion. Some material will vaporize and later recondense. During recondensation, these molecules have a high affinity for submicron particles because of the large sur...Coal combustion products; Metal vaporization; Carbon dioxide; Residual ash2001
21 Torti, Sylvia D.; Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A.Causes and consequences of monodominance in tropical lowland forestsTropical canopy dominance in lowland, well-drained forests by one plant species is a long-standing conundrum in tropical biology. Research now shows that dominance is not the result of one trait or mechanism. We suggest that the striking dominance of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei in the Ituri Forest of ...Monodominance; Gilbertiodendron dewevrei; Ituri Forest; Understory2001
22 Baehr, Wolfgang; Zhang, KangCharacterization of human GRK7 as a potential cone opsin kinasePURPOSE: Homozygous inactivation of the mouse gene for GRK1 (G protein-coupled receptor kinase 1, or rhodopsin kinase) causes severe defects in the recovery of cone phototransduction. However, electroretinographic (ERG) analyses of human oguchi patients with defective GRK1 alleles showed normal or s...Amino Acid Sequence; Chromosomes, Human, Pair 3; Fluorescent Antibody Technique, Indirect2001
23 Jaskowski, Troy D.Comparison of four enzyme immunoassays with a western blot assay for the determination of type-specific antibodies to herpes simplex virusMost current enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) differentiate inadequately between types 1 and 2 herpes simplex virus (HSV) antibodies since significant crossreactivity exists. We compared 4 IgG type-specific EIAs using a Western blot assay for resolution of discrepant results. The Diamedix had sensitivit...Enzyme immunoassays; Western blot assay; Type-specific antibodies2001
