276 Gerig, GuidoObject models in multiscale intrinsic coordinates via m-repsObject descriptions used for 3D segmentation by deformable models and for statistical characterization of 3D object classes benefit from having intrinsic correspondences over deformation of the objects or multiple instances in the same object class. These correspondences apply over a variety of spat...2003-01-01
277 Wyman, Chris; Hansen, Charles D.Penumbra mapsGenerating soft shadows quickly is difficult. Few techniques have enough flexibility to interactively render soft shadows in scenes with arbitrarily complex occluders and receivers. This paper introduces the penumbra map, which extends current shadow map techniques to interactively approximate so...Penumbra maps; Soft shadows; Shadow maps2003-04-23
278 Hansen, Charles D.Penumbra maps: approximate soft shadows in real-timeGenerating soft shadows quickly is difficult. Few techniques have enough flexibility to interactively render soft shadows in scenes with arbitrarily complex occluders and receivers. This paper introduces the penumbra map, which extends current shadow map techniques to interactively approximate soft ...2003-01-01
279 Perceived neighborhood characteristics and the health of adult KoreansThis study examines the role of the perception of neighborhood quality with respect to its influence on individual health in Korea. Employing the Quality of Korean Life Survey, 2001, the authors discover that how respondents perceive their neighborhood quality selectively affects the health of Ko...Korea; Communities; Districts2003-09-03
280 Creem-Regehr, Sarah Hope; Gooch, Amy A.; Sahm, Cynthia S.; Thompson, William B.Perceiving virtual geographic slant: action influences perceptionFour experiments varied the extent and nature of observer movement in a virtual environment to examine the influence of action on estimates of geographical slant. Previous slant studies demonstrated that people consciously overestimate hill slant but can still accurately guide an action toward th...Geographical slant; Virtual environment2003-06-16
281 Konnick, Eric Q.; Williams, Sheri M.; Ashwood, Edward R.; Hillyard, David R.Performance Characteristics of the COBAS HCV TaqMan ASR Using Armored RNA CalibratorsAs improved therapies have become available for Hepatititis C Virus (HCV) infection, the use of assays to quantitate HCV RNA has increased dramatically (3, 14, 16). The initial use of these assays was to predict the likelihood of therapy based on baseline HCV RNA levels. These reports indicated that...Roche Amplicor Monitor; NGI Superquant; patients2003-04-22
282 Sivaraj, Hemanthkumar; Gopalakrishnan, GaneshRandom walk based heuristic algorithms for distributed memory model checkingModel checking techniques suffer from the state space explosion problem: as the size of the system being verified increases, the total state space of the system increases exponentially. Some of the methods that have been devised to tackle this problem are partial order reduction, symmetry reducti...Model checking; Distributed memory2003-01-29
283 Henderson, Thomas C.Reaction-diffusion patterns in smart sensor networksWe introduced the use of Turing?s reaction-diffusion pattern formation to support high-level tasks in smart sensor networks (S-Nets). This has led us to explore various biologically motivated mechanisms. In this paper we address some issues that arise in trying to get reliable, efficient patterns...Reaction-diffusion; Pattern formation; Smart sensor networks; S-Nets2003-11-05
284 Stevenson, Jeff; Procter, Melinda; Hillyard, David R.Real time PCR assays for the detection of viral pathogens - are they the gold standard?Over the past decade, PCR testing for infectious agents in the clinical laboratory has begun to replace other methods, such as culture. PCR is often now referred to as the 'gold standard' in this field. Further evolution of this technology has seen the introduction of real time PCR, replacing tradit...Polymorphism; Target DNA2003-11-11
285 Capecchi, Mario R.Role for ELOVL3 and fatty acid chain length in development of hair and skin functionVery little is known about the in vivo regulation of mammalian fatty acid chain elongation enzymes as well as the role of specific fatty acid chain length in cellular responses and developmental processes. Here, we report that the Elovl3 gene product, which belongs to a highly conserved family ...2003-12-15
286 Flatt, MattScheme 2003: proceedings of the fourth workshop on scheme and functional programmingThis report contains the papers presented at the Fourth Workshop on Scheme and Functional Programming. The purpose of the Scheme Workshop is to discuss experience with and future developments of the Scheme programming language?including the future of Scheme standardization?as well as general aspe...Scheme 2003; Scheme programming2003-11-07
287 Wolfinger, Nicholas H.Shifting fortunes in a changing economy: trends in the economic well-being of divorced women*Income losses resulting from marital disruption have traditionally contributed to high rates of poverty for single women. This paper explores trends in the economic consequences of divorce using data from the 1980-2001 Current Population Survey March Demographic Supplement. Divorce still adversel...Divorce; Separation; Finances; Financial independence2003-10-01
288 Caserta, Michael; Lund, Dale A.Sleep patterns in older bereaved spousesThe study examined the prevalence and pattern of reports of sleep disturbance over two years in a group of 296 adults aged 50 years and over, and assessed the relationship between patterns of sleep disturbance and bereavement adjustment over time. A sample of 192 widows and widowers were compared t...Bereavement adjustment; Older bereaved spouses; Sleep patterns; Sleep disturbance2003-11-01
289 Couldwell, William T.; Gottfried, Oren N.Surgical management of posterior petrous meningiomasPosterior petrous meningiomas (commonly termed posterior pyramid meningiomas and/or meningiomas of the posterior surface of the petrous pyramid) are the most common meningiomas of the posterior cranial fossa. They are located along the posterior surface of the temporal bone in the region of the cere...2003-01-01
290 Couldwell, William T.; Gottfried, Oren N.Too many? Too few. New study reveals current trends in U. S. neurosurgical workforceRemarkable changes in the neurosurgical specialty have taken place in the past 15 years. While advances in basic science have occurred and new technologies and therapies have proliferated, other, less propitious factors-such as the promises (some might say false promises) and hopes of managed care-h...2003-01-01
291 Couldwell, William T.Transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment of Cushing disease: postoperative assessment of surgical efficacy by application of an overnight low-dose dexamethasone suppression testObject. Transsphenoidal adenomectomy with resection of a defined pituitary adenoma has been the treatment of choice for CD for the last 30 years. Surgical resection, however, may not always result in long-term remission of CD. This is particularly important in light of the high risk of morbidity and...2003-01-01

293 Regehr, JohnVertically integrated analysis and transformation for embedded softwareProgram analyses and transformations that are more aggressive and more domain-specific than those traditionally performed by compilers are one possible route to achieving the rapid creation of reliable and efficient embedded software. We are creating a new framework for Vertically Integrated Program...2003-01-01
294 Capecchi, Mario R.Xanthine oxidoreductase is central to the evolution and function of the innate immune system.The housekeeping enzyme xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) has been studied intensively over the past 100 years, yet the complexity of its in vivo function is still poorly understood. A large body of literature focuses on the different catalyltic forms of XOR and their importance in the synthesis of reac...Animals; Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic; Humans; Immune System; Models, Biological2003-09-01
