 | Utz, Rebecca L. | Grief, depressive symptoms, and physical health among recently bereaved spouses | Purpose of Study: Widowhood is among the most distressing of all life events, resulting in both mental and physical health declines. This paper explores the dynamic relationship between physical health and psychological well-being among recently bereaved spouses. Design and Method: Using a sample of... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Wu, Yong-Shi | Ground-state degeneracy in the Levin-Wen model for topological phases | We study the properties of topological phases by calculating the ground-state degeneracy (GSD) of the two-dimensional Levin-Wen (LW) model. Here it is explicitly shown that the GSD depends only on the spatial topology of the system. Then we show that the ground state on a sphere is always nondegener... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | Halo independent comparison of direct dark matter detection data | We extend the halo-independent method of Fox, Liu, and Weiner to include energy resolution and efficiency with arbitrary energy dependence, making it more suitable for experiments to use in pre-senting their results. Then we compare measurements and upper limits on the direct detection of low mass (... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Minteer, Shelley D. | High performance glucose/O2 biofuel cell: effect of utilizing purified laccase with anthracene-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes | Laccase, a blue multicopper oxidoreductase enzyme, is a robust enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of oxygen to water and has been shown previously to perform improved direct electron transfer in a biocathode when mixed with anthracene-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Previous cathode constru... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Clayton, Dale H. | How effective is preening against mobile ectoparasites? An experimental test with pigeons and hippoboscid flies | Birds combat ectoparasites with many defences but the first line of defence is grooming behaviour, which includes preening with the bill and scratching with the feet. Preening has been shown to be very effective against ectoparasites. However, most tests have been with feather lice, which are relati... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Sansone, Carol | How students socially evaluate interest: peer responsiveness influences evaluation and maintenance of interest | Social influences (e.g., by teachers, parents and peers) on students' experience of interest are typically described in terms of affecting students' initial choice of and/or completion of specific educational activities. When considered within the framework of the Self-Regulation of Motivation (SRM)... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Horel, John D. | Idealized large-eddy simulations of sea and lake breezes: sensitivity to lake diameter, heat flux and stability | Idealized large-eddy simulations of lake and sea breezes are conducted to deter mine the sensitivity of these thermally-driven circulations to variations in the land-surface sensible heat flux and initial atmospheric stability. The lake-breeze and sea-breeze metrics of horizontal wind speed, horizon... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Macleod, Robert S. | Identification and acute targeting of gaps in atrial ablation lesion sets using a real-time magnetic resonance imaging system | Background-Radiofrequency ablation is routinely used to treat cardiac arrhythmias, but gaps remain in ablation lesion sets because there is no direct visualization of ablation-related changes. In this study, we acutely identify and target gaps using a real-time magnetic resonance imaging (RT-MRI) sy... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Crockett, David K. | Identification of histoplasma -specific peptides in human urine | Histoplasmosis is a severe dimorphic fungus infection, which is often difficult to diagnose due to similarity in symptoms to other diseases and lack of specific diagnostic tests. Urine samples from histoplasma-antigen-positive patients and appropriate controls were prepared using various sample prep... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Garber, Sarah | Image guidance for brain metastases resection | The primary goal in removing a metastatic brain tumor is to maximize surgical resection while minimizing the risk of neurological injury. Intraoperative image guidance is frequently used in the resection of both primary and metastatic brain tumors. Stereotactic volumetric techniques allow for smalle... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Hillman, Nicholas W | The impact of state appropriations and grants on access to higher education and outmigration | Education policymakers at all levels of government have long been interested in finding ways to entice more students to go to college. This goal has been driven by the belief that, as people acquire more education, they not only reap personal benefits from their investment in education, but they als... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Jorgensen, Erik | Improved Mos1-mediated transgenesis in C. elegans | The ability to add or delete genes to the genome of genetic model organisms is essential. Previously, we developed methods based on the Mos1 transposon1 to make targeted transgene insertions (Mos1-mediated Single Copy transgene Insertions, MosSCI2) and targeted deletions (Mos1-mediated deletions, Mo... | 2012-01-01 | |
