Schmidt, Meic H. | Minimally invasive thoracoscopic resection of paraspinal neurogenic tumors: technical case report | OBJECTIVE: 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 | |

Zimmer, Zachary | Disability and active life expectancy among older Cambodians | Older adults in Cambodia are survivors of harsh living conditions, including poverty and periods of extreme violence. Although these experiences may affect health outcomes, little data has existed to monitor Cambodia's older population. The current paper uses data from the 2004 Study of the Elder... | Active Life Expectancy; Ageing; Cambodia; Disability; Functional Status; Southeast Asia | 2006-07 |

Margraf, Rebecca L.; Mao, Rong; Highsmith, W. Edward; Holtegaard, Leonard; Wittwer, Carl T. | Masking selected sequence variation by incorporating mismatches into melting analysis probes | Hybridization probe melting analysis can be complicated by the presence of sequence variations (benign polymorphisms or other mutations) near the targeted mutation. We investigated the use of 'masking' probes to differentiate alleles with similar probe melting temperatures. Selected sequence variati... | probe hybridization; high-resolution melting analysis; masking; RET | 2005-06-28 |

Fujimoto, Richard M. | The roll back chip: hardware support for distributed simulation using time warp | Distributed simulation offers an attractive means of meeting the high computational demands of discrete event simulation programs. The Time Warp mechanism has been proposed to ensure correct sequencing of events in distributed simulation programs without blocking processes unnecessarily. However, th... | Roll back chip; Distributed simulation; Discrete event; Simulation programs; Time Warp mechanism | 1987 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Arbitrarily slow approach to limiting behavior | ABSTRACT. Let f(k, t): RN x [0, oo) -- R be jointly continuous in k and t, with lim(t)--(oo) f(k, t) = F(k) discontinuous for a dense set of k's. It is proven that there exists a dense set T of k's such that, for k e T , |f(k, t) - F(k)| approaches 0 arbitrarily slowly, i.e., roughly speaking, more ... | Random; Conductivity; Diffusion | 1991 |

Varner, Michael W. | Episiotomy: techniques and indications. | In current obstetric practice episiotomy is generally taken to refer to an incision of the perineum and vagina to facilitate vaginal delivery. While the most precise definition of this incision is perineotomy, episiotomy is the generally employed terminology and thus is used in this article. The e... | Episiotomy; Adverse Effects; Perineotomy | 1986-06 |

Horch, Kenneth W. | Information contrained in sensory nerve recordings made with intrafascicular electrodes | Multiunit recordings were made in anesthetized cats with chronically implanted intrafascicular electrodes over a period of six months. Neural signals recorded with these electrodes consisted of activity in sensory fibers innervating a variety of cutaneous mechanoreceptors. Mechanical stimuli wer... | Intrafascicular electrodes; Functional electrical stimulation (FES); Closed-loop control | 1991 |

Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Novel DNA-based microfluorimetric method to evaluate antimalarial drug activity | This paper describes the development of a novel microfluorimetric assay to measure the inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum based on the detection of parasitic DNA by intercalation with PicoGreen®. The method was used to determine parasite inhibition profiles and 50% inhibitory concentration values ... | Microfluorimetric assay; Plasmodium falciparum; Chloroquine; Drug discovery | 2004 |

Furse, Cynthia M.; Gandhi, Om P. | Use of the frequency-dependent finite-difference time-domain method for induced current and SAR calculations for a heterogeneous model of the human body | This paper describes the use of the previously for mutated Frequency-Dependent Finite-Difference Time-Domain ((FD)2TD) method for analysis of an anatomically based heterogeneous man model exposed to ultra-wide-band electromagnetic pulse sources. The human tissues' electrical permittivities, ε*(ω),... | Finite-difference time-domain; FDTD; Ultrawideband electromagnetic pulses; Induced currents; Mass-normalized; Energy distribution; Specific absorption rates; SAR | 1994-01-01 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Experimental test of the importance of preen oil in Rock Doves (Columba livia) | Most species of birds have a uropygial gland, also known as a preen gland, which produces oil that birds spread through their plumage when preening. The plumage of waterfowl deprived of uropygial oil becomes brittle and is subject to breakage. | Columba livia; Columbiformes; Preen oil; Ectoparasites; Columbicola columbae; Campanulotes compare; Plumage | 2003 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | Expressing affection and love to young children | Few people would seriously contest the proposition that children need love. The belief that children thrive on love is not universal, but in our western culture it has become the foundation for the work of educators and parents (Kagan, 1978). Yet, for all of our certainty about the principle, the p... | Expressing affection | 1980 |

Wittwer, Carl T. | Influence of PCR reagents on DNA polymerase extension rates measured on real-time PCR instruments | BACKGROUND: Radioactive DNA polymerase activity methods are cumbersome and do not provide initial extension rates. A simple extension rate assay would enable study of basic assumptions about PCR and define the limits of rapid PCR.
