Morse, Michael David | ???X??+ band systems of jet-cooled ScCo and YCo | Rotationally resolved resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI) spectra of ScCo and YCo are reported. The measured spectra reveal that these molecules possess ground electronic states of 1?+ symmetry, as previously found in the isoelectronic Cr2 and CrMo molecules. The ground state rotational constant... | | 2010 |

Kirby, Robert Michael II; Johnson, Christopher R. | A new family of variational-form-based regularizers for reconstructing epicardial potentials from body-surface mapping | We propose a new family of regularizers for the inverse ECG problem, using a variational principle that underlies finite element approximation methods. As an alternative to traditional Tikhonov regularizers, the variational formulation has several advantages: 1)it enables a simple construction of ... | | 2010 |

Henderson, Thomas C. | A study of Pierce's group generator | Pierce describes an approach to map learning with uninterpreted sensors and effectors. As part of that, he describes a sensor grouping generator operator that attempts to arrange similar sensors into groups. Here we review that work and place it in a more strenuous statistical validation framewor... | Pierce's group; Map learning; Sensor grouping generator | 2010 |

Whitty, Kevin J. | A system for measuring bubble voidage and frequency around tubes immersed in a fluidized bed of particles | Gas-solid fluidized beds are common in chemical processing and energy production industries. These types of reactors frequently have banks of tubes immersed within the bed to provide heating or cooling, and it is important that the fluid dynamics within these bundles is efficient and uniform.

Sutherland, James Clayton; Kerstein, Alan R. | A unified approach to the various formulations of the one-dimensional-turbulence model | The One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model has been successfully applied as a stand-alone model for predicting turbulence statistics in both nonreacting and reacting flows. There are several formulations of the model in the literature, and most of the variable-density formulations do not clearly dis... | | 2010 |

Ferguson, Sarah Hargus | Across-talker effects on non-native listeners' vowel perecption in noise | This study explored how across-talker differences influence non-native vowel perception. American English (AE) and Korean listeners were presented with recordings of 10 AE vowels in /bVd/ context. The stimuli were mixed with noise and presented for identification in a 10-alternative forced-choice t... | | 2010 |

Churchwell, John C.; Lopez-Larson, Melissa; Yurgelun-Todd, Deborah A. | Altered frontal cortical volume and decision making in adolescent cannabis users | Anticipating future outcomes is central to decision making and a failure to consider long-term consequences may lead to impulsive choices. Adolescence is a vulnerable period during which underdeveloped prefrontal cortical systems may contribute to poor judgment, impulsive choices, and substance ab... | | 2010 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Alternating host cell tropism shapes the persistence, evolution and coexistence of Epstein-Barr virus infections in human | Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects and can persist in a majority of people worldwide. Within an infected host, EBV targets two major cell types, B cells and epithelial cells, and viruses emerging from one cell type preferentially infect the other. We use mathematical models to understand why EBV infec... | | 2010 |

Dailey, Andrew T.; Schmidt, Meic H.; Apfelbaum, Ronald I. | Anterior fixation of odontoid fractures in an elderly population | Object. Fractures of the odontoid process are the most common fractures of the cervical spine in patients over the age of 70 years. The incidence of fracture nonunion in this population has been estimated to be 20-fold greater than that in patients under the age of 50 years if surgical stabilizatio... | Odontoid fractures; Elderly population; Anterior fixation | 2010 |

Wunderlich, Adam James | Band-restricted estimation of noise variance in filtered backprojection reconstructions using repeated scans | We introduce a new estimator for noise variance in tomographic images reconstructed using algorithms of the filtered backprojection type. The new estimator operates on data acquired from repeated scans of the object under examination, is unbiased, and is shown to have significantly lower variance t... | | 2010 |

Stevens, Kenneth | Bandwidth optimization in asynchronous NoCs by customizing link wire length | The bandwidth requirement for each link on a network-on-chip (NoC) may differ based on topology and traffic properties of the IP cores. Available bandwidth on an asynchronous NoC link will also vary depending on the wire length between sender and receiver. We explore the benefit to NoC performance ... | | 2010 |
