1 Gerig, GuidoProbabilistic white matter fiber tracking using, particle filtering and von mises-fisher samplingStandard particle filtering technique have previously been applied to the problem of fiber tracking by Brun et al. (2002) and Bjornemo et al. (2002). However, these previous attempts have not utilised the full power of the technique, and as a result the fiber paths were tracked in a goal directed wa...Diffusion tensor MRI; Tractography; Probabilistic fiber tracking; Particle filtering; von Mises-Fisher sampling2009-01-01
2 Kestle, John R. W.; MacDonald, Joel D.; Schmidt, Richard H.Marked reduction of cerebral vasospasm with lumbar drainage of cerebrospinal fluid after subarachnoid hemorrhageObject. Cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) continues to be a major source of morbidity in patients despite significant clinical and basic science research. Efforts to prevent vasospasm by removing spasmogens from the subarachnoid space have produced mixed results. The authors hyp...Cerebral vasospasm; Lumbar drainage2004
3 Plutynski, AnyaExplanation in classical population geneticsThe recent literature in Philosophy; of biology has drawn attention to the different sorts of explanations proffered in the biological sciences--we have molecular, biomedical, and evolutionary explanations. Do these explanations all have a common structure or relation that they seek to capture? This...Biology, Philosophy;; Explanation; Genetics; Life sciences; Population genetics; Science2005-12
4 Gerig, GuidoProbabilistic fiber tracking using particle filteringThis paper presents a novel and fast probabilistic method for white matter fiber tracking from diffusion weighted MRI (DWI). We formulate fiber tracking on a nonlinear state space model which is able to capture both smoothness regularity of fibers and uncertainties of the local fiber orientations du...2007-01-01
5 Davidson, Diane W.Cecropia and its biotic defensesIn all the world, the genus Cecropia is unrivaled for the number of myrmecophytes, or true "antplants" counted among its species (McKey & Davidson, 1993). Based on the proportion of Cecropia species producing Mullerian bodies in at least some parts of their distribution, myrmecophytes comprise the ...Myrmecophytes; Mullerian bodies; Pearl bodies2005
6 Marchant, Barrie K.; Reimherr, Frederick W.Assessment of personality disorder in adult ADHD using data from a clinical trial of OROS Methylphenidate (OROS MPH)Background: Studies have reported high comorbidity of personality disorder and adult ADHD. However, assessment of personality disorder is problematic and none have rigorously confirmed this observation with measures of concurrent validity. Methods: 47 patients entered a double-blind trial of ORO...Trapeze Interactive Poster
7 Caserta, MichaelChallenges, transitions, and healthy aging: Introduction to the special issueRowe and Kahn's (1987) seminal piece in the Journal, Science, and the work driven by the MacArthur Foundation that followed (Rowe & Kahn, 1997, 1998) arguably signaled a paradigm shift in how we think about aging and health. Rather than a purely biomedical view of aging and health, Rowe and Kahn pos...2012-01-01
8 Armentrout, Peter B.Kinetic energy dependence of dissociative charge-transfer reactions of He+, Ne+, Ar+, Kr+, and Xe+ with silaneGuided ion-beam techniques are used to measure the cross sections as a function of kinetic energy for reaction of SiH4 with He +, Ne +, Ar +, Kr +, and Xe +. State-specific data for the 2P3/2 ground spin-orbit states of Kr+ and Xe+ are also obtained.Silane; Charge-transfer reactions; Ion-molecule reactions; Ion energy; Rare gas ions; Plasma systems1990
9 Seger, JonModels of sex ratio evolutionOur understanding of sex ratio evolution depends strongly on models that identify: (1) constraints on the production of male and female offspring, and (2) fitness consequences entailed by the production of different attainable brood sex ratios. Verbal and mathematical arguments by, among others, D...Fitness; Species; Sex-allocation2002
10 Wu, Yong-ShiMott transition in an anyon gasWe introduce and analyze a lattice model of anyons in a periodic potential and an external magnetic field, which exhibits a transition from a Mott insulator to a quantum Hall fluid. The transition is characterized by the anyon statistics a, which can vary between fermions, a = 0, and bosons, ct - 1...Anyon gas; Periodic potentials; Mott transition1993-11
11 Myers, Chris J.LEMA: A tool for the formal verification of digitally-intensive analog/mixed-signal circuitsThe increasing integration of analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuits into system designs has further complicated an already difficult verification problem. Recently, formal verification, which has been successful in the purely digital domain, has made some in-roads in the AMS domain. This paper describe...2014-01-01
12 Sperry, John S.Observations of reaction fibers in leaves of dicotyledonsHALLE, OLDEMAN, AND TOMLINSON (1978) have discussed the transference of function between compound leaves and plagiotropic branches in the context of tree architecture. In trees conforming to Cook's model (see Halle, Oldeman, & Tomlinson, 1978), plagiotropic branches resemble compound leaves in their...Reaction fibers; Compound leaves1982
13 Mattis, Daniel C.Soluble extension of the Ising modelIn this note we wish to relate a somewhat trivial, but surprising, soluble extension of the multidimensional Ising model. Our extension was motivated by recent experiments on a real material, dysprosium aluminum garnet (DyAlG), which closely resembles an ideal three-dimensional Ising model,1 except ...Dysprosium aluminum garnet; Ising spin1966-05
14 Armentrout, Peter B.Dissociative charge transfer reactions of Ar+, Ne+, and He+ with CF4 from thermal to 50 eVGuided ion-beam techniques are used to measure the cross sections for reaction of CF4 with Ar+, Ne+, and H e + from thermal to 50 eV. Dissociative charge transfer followed by successive loss of F atoms are the major processes observed. Only CFx+ (x = 1,2,3) products are observed in the reactions of ...Ion-molecule reactions; Transfer reactions; Carbon tetrafluoride; Rare gas ions; Exothermic reactions; Endothermic reactions; Plasma systems1990
15 Dong, JiaweiConsolidation and permeability of flocculated kaolinite sedimentVast oil sand resources are located in the province of Alberta, Canada, where water-based oil sands extraction operations are found including extraction and separation of the bitumen from the clay, sand, and water. The production of each barrel of synthetic crude oil (SCO) requires 2 m3 of processe...Consolidation; Flocculation; Kaolinite; Permeability2017
16 Johnson, Bob L.Extending the study of learning environments: Connecting the field to other literaturesThe study of learning environments in educational organisations has a short but impressive history. A review of this literature reveals that considerable progress has been made in the investigation of this phenomenon. Yet in spite of these advances, momentum in the field has diminished in recent yea...Organizational theory; Learning environments2002
17 Davidson, Diane W.Experimental studies of species-specificity in cecropia-ant relationshipsStrict coevolution requires that interactions among organisms be speciesspecific. We assessed the relative roles of host- and habitat-specificity in determining the match between a genus of myrmecophytic trees and a guild of obligate plant-ants in the moist tropical forests of Madre de Dios, Peru.

22 Harpending, Henry C.; Rogers, Alan R.Detecting positive selection from genome scans of linkage disequilibriumThough a variety of linkage disequilibrium tests have recently been introduced to measure the signal of recent positive selection, the statistical properties of the various methods have not been directly compared. While most applications of these tests have suggested that positive selection has pl...Genome scans; Linkage disequilibrium; Gene trees2010

25 Riloff, Ellen M.Automatically constructing a dictionary for information extraction tasksKnowledge-based natural language processing systems have achieved good success with certain tasks but they are often criticized because they depend on a domain-specific dictionary that requires a great deal of manual knowledge engineering. This knowledge engineering bottleneck makes knowledge-based ...Information extraction; Dictionary construction; Knowledge-based systems; AutoSlog; Domain-specific dictionary1993
