251 Mishchenko, EugeneMinimal conductivity in graphene: interaction corrections and ultraviolet anomalyConductivity of a disorder-free intrinsic graphene is studied to the first order in the long-range Coulomb interaction and is found to be ? = ?0(1+0.01g), where g is the dimensionless ("fine structure") coupling constant. The calculations are performed using three different methods: i) electron pola...Optical conductivity2008-07-01
252 Schmidt, Meic H.Minimally invasive thoracoscopic resection of paraspinal neurogenic tumors: technical case reportOBJECTIVE: The posterior mediastinum is a common location for benign neurogenic tumors. They are frequently asymptomatic but can present with local compressive or neurological symptoms. METHODS: Thoracoscopy is used increasingly over posterolateral thoracotomy for the removal of these lesions. RES...2008-01-01
253 Gerig, GuidoMinimum description length with local geometryEstablishing optimal correspondence across object populations is essential to statistical shape analysis. Minimizing the description length (MDL) is a popular method for finding correspondence. In this work, we extend the MDL method by incorporating various local curvature metrics. Using local curva...2008-01-01
254 Huser, Vojtech; Rocha, Roberto A.modeling of HEDIS quality measures and prototyping of related decision support rulesWe describe the application of the RetroGuide analytical toolset to quality improvement in osteoporosis and cholesterol management.

255 Gerig, GuidoMultivariate longitudinal statistics for neonatal-pediatric brain tissue developmentThe topic of studying the growth of human brain development has become of increasing interest in the neuroimaging community. Cross-sectional studies may allow comparisons between means of different age groups, but they do not provide a growth model that integrates the continuum of time, nor do they ...2008-01-01
256 Couldwell, William T.; Gillespie, David L.; Jensen, Randy L.Novel model of intracranial meningioma in mice using luciferase-expressing meningioma cellsObject. Meningioma research has been hindered by the inability to sequentially measure intracranial tumor growth in a cost-effective, efficient manner. Recently, the luciferase gene has been transfected into cancer lines to obtain cells that express the luciferase enzyme, which oxidizes luciferin in...2008-01-01
257 Mower, Allyson; Paiva, Marie Clare P.; Morrow, AnneOpen, Sesame! Accessing the treasures of a communityThis presentation is a primer on how you might plan, organize and maintain a digital collection.

258 Couldwell, William T.OR noise: the potential for hearing lossWith the use of the electric or air-powered drill in cranial or spinal procedures comes the potential for hearing loss among operating team members. Exposure to loud noise can result in sensorineural hearing loss, and this loss is a function of sound pressure levels and duration of exposure. Much r...2008-01-01

263 Regehr, JohnPoster abstract: TinyOS 2.1 adding threads and memory protection to tinyOSThe release of TinyOS 2.0 two years ago was motivated by the need for greater platform flexibility, improved robustness and reliability, and a move towards service oriented application development. Since this time, we have seen the community embrace these efforts and add support for additional hardw...2008-01-01
264 Couldwell, William T.Practicing neurosurgery in the United StatesCompared with other developed countries, the U.S. spends a high percentage of its gross domestic product on healthcare: 16 percent in 2005, up from 15 percent in 2004. This is far and away the greatest percentage of GDP spent on healthcare of any nation for which such data is collected. However,...2008-01-01
265 Gerig, GuidoPrenatal mild ventriculomegaly predicts abnormal development of the neonatal brainBackground: Many psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders are associated with mild enlargement of the lateral ventricles thought to have origins in prenatal brain development. Little is known about development of the lateral ventricles and the relationship of prenatal lateral ventricle enlargeme...2008-01-01
