| 251 |  | Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T. | Higher-order nonlinear priors for surface reconstruction | For surface reconstruction problems with noisy and incomplete range data, a Bayesian estimation approach can improve the overall quality of the surfaces. The Bayesian approach to surface estimation relies on a likelihood term, which ties the surface estimate to the input data, and the prior, whic... | Surface reconstruction; Bayesian approach; Nonlinear prior | 2002-12-09 |
| 252 |  | Capecchi, Mario R. | Housekeeping gene xanthine oxidoreductase is necessary for milk fat droplet enveloping and secretion: gene sharing in the lactating mammary gland. | Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in purine catabolism occurring in most cell types. However, this housekeeping gene is expressed at very high levels in a number of mammalian tissues including the lactating mammary epithelium, suggesting additional roles for XOR in these tiss... | Body Weight; Cell Differentiation; Cell Membrane; Epithelium | 2002-12-15 |
| 253 |  | Regehr, John | How to rapidly prototype a real-time scheduler | Implementing a new scheduling algorithm in an OS kernel is often an important step in scheduling research because it permits evaluation of the algorithm's performance on real workloads. However, developing a new scheduler is not a trivial task because it requires sophisticated programming skills and... | 2002-01-01 | |
| 254 |  | Capecchi, Mario R. | Hox11 paralogous genes are essential for metanephric kidney induction | The mammalian Hox complex is divided into four linkage groups containing 13 sets of paralogous genes. These paralogous genes have retained functional redundancy during evolution. For this reason, loss of only one or two Hox genes within a paralogous group often results in incompletely penetrant phen... | Metanephric; Six2; Wt1 | 2002-06-01 |
| 255 |  | Capecchi, Mario R. | Hoxb8 is required for normal grooming behavior in mice. | Repertoires of grooming behaviors critical to survival are exhibited by most animal species, including humans. Genes that influence this complex behavior are unknown. We report that mice with disruptions of Hoxb8 show, with 100% penetrance, excessive grooming leading to hair removal and lesions.

| 260 |  | Sekercioglu, Cagan | Impacts of birdwatching on human and avian communities | Ecotourism can be a vehicle for community-based conservation if it is conducted with an emphasis on the well-being of local ecosystems and human communities. Birdwatchers form the largest group of ecotourists, and are, on average, well-educated, wealthy and committed. This makes them ideal ecotouris... | 2002-01-01 | |
| 261 |  | Furse, Cynthia M. | Inexpensive distance measuring system for location of robotic vehicles | An distance-measuring system based on a swept frequency reflectometer radar system was built and tested for application to navigation of robotic vehicles in a sealed room where GPS signals are not available. The final system built en masse would cost approximately $25. The system was simulated using... | Swept frequency reflectometer radar system; Robotic vehicles | 2002-04-20 |
| 262 |  | Regehr, John | Inferring scheduling behavior with hourglass | Although computer programs explicitly represent data values, time values are usually implicit. This makes it difficult to analyze and debug real-time programs whose correctness depends partially on the time at which results are computed. This paper shows how to use Hourglass, an instrumented, synthe... | 2002-01-01 | |
