Sutherland, James Clayton | Prediction of oxy-coal flame stand-off using high-fidelity thermochemical models and the one-dimensional turbulence model | An Eulerian one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model is applied to simulate oxy-coal combustion, with specific aim at predicting flame stand-o distances. Detailed gas-phase chemical kinetics based on the GRI3.0 mechanism are utilized. A high-fidelity model for devolatilization is considered that predi... | 2014-01-01 | |

Wu, Yong-Shi | Quantum phase transition in a multicomponent Bose-Einstein condensate in optical lattices | We present a general lattice model for a multicomponent atomic Bose-Einstein system in an optical lattice. Using the model, we analytically study the quantum phase transition between the Mott insulator and a superfluid. A mean-field theory is developed from the Mott-insulator ground state. When the... | Quantum phase transitions; Optical lattices; Bose-Einstein condensation; Boson-Hubbard model; Superfluids | 2003-01 |

Mathews, V. John | Sufficient stability bounds for slowly varying direct-form recursive linear filters and their applications in adaptive IIR filters | Abstract-This correspondence derives a sufficient time-varying bound on the maximum variation of the coefficients of an exponentially stable time-varying direct-form homogeneous linear recursive filter. The stability bound is less conservative than all previously derived bounds for time-varying IIR ... | 1999 | |

Carter, John B. | Avalanche: A communication and memory architecture for scalable parallel computing | As the gap between processor and memory speeds widens, system designers will inevitably incorporate increasingly deep memory hierarchies to maintain the balance between processor and memory system performance. At the same time, most communication subsystems are permitted access only to main memory ... | Avalanche; Computer memory; Memory architecture | 1995 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Combined proteomic and transcriptomic interrogation of the venom gland of conus geographus uncovers novel components and functional compartmentalization | Cone snails are highly successful marine predators that use complex venoms to capture prey. At any given time, hundreds of toxins (conotoxins) are synthesized in the secretory epithelial cells of the venom gland, a long and convoluted organ that can measure 4 times the length of the snail's body. In... | 2014-01-01 | |

Bernstein, Paul S.; Gellermann, Werner | Nonmydriatic fluorescence-based quantitative imaging of human macular pigment distributions. | We have developed a CCD-camera-based nonmydriatic instrument that detects fluorescence from retinal lipofuscin chromophores ("autofluorescence") as a means to indirectly quantify and spatially image the distribution of macular pigment (MP). The lipofuscin fluorescence intensity is reduced at all ret... | Cytology; Sensitivity and Specificity | 2006-10 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Stag hunts or rearing environments? | Tomasello et al. have made the case that shared intentionality distinguishes humans from our nearest living relatives. What accounts for the difference? The answer they offer is Stag Hunt choices faced by ancestral foragers. Noting problems with that answer, I urge attention to a promising alternati... | 2012-01-01 | |

Regehr, John | Using hierarchical scheduling to support soft real-time applications in general-purpose operating systems | The CPU schedulers in general-purpose operating systems are designed to provide fast response time for interactive applications and high throughput for batch applications. The heuristics used to achieve these goals do not lend themselves to scheduling real-time applications, nor do they meet other s... | 2001-01-01 | |

Capecchi, Mario R. | ELOVL3 is an important component for early onset of lipid recruitment in brown adipose tissue | During the recruitment process of brown adipose tissue, the mRNA level of the fatty acyl chain elongase Elovl3 is elevated more than 200-fold in cold-stressed mice. We have obtained Elovl3-ablated mice and report here that, although cold-acclimated Elovl3-ablated mice experienced an increased heat l... | 2005-12-21 | |

Carrier, David R. | Functional tradeoffs in specialization for fighting versus running | Both locomotion and fighting are critical to survival and reproductive fitness in many vertebrate species. Yet, characters that make an individual good at fighting may, in many cases, limit locomotor performance and vice versa. Here I describe tests of three functional tradeoffs in the limb muscles ... | Greyhounds; Pit Bulls; Australopithecus; Homo; Fighting; Running; Male-male aggression; Limb muscles; Functional tradeoff | 2002 |

Normann, Richard A.; Branner, Almut | Long-term stimulation and recording with a penetrating microelectrode array in cat sciatic nerve | We studied the consequences of long-term implantation of a penetrating microelectrode array in peripheral nerve over the time course of 4-6 mo. Electrode arrays without lead wires were implanted to test the ability of different containment systems to protect the array and nerve during contractions o... | Cats; Microelectrodes; Prosthesis Implantation; Sciatic Nerve | 2004 |

Brinkman, Paul T. | Student price response in higher education: the student demand studies | What happens to enrollments when colleges and universities raise their prices? Who, if anyone, is sent away? What is the net impact of higher prices and reduced enrollments upon institutional financial ledgers?

Kestle, John R. W.; Simon, Tamara Danielle | Infection rates following initial cerebrospinal fluid shunt placement across pediatric hospitals in the United States | Object. Reported rates of CSF shunt infection vary widely across studies. The study objective was to determine the CSF shunt infection rates after initial shunt placement at multiple US pediatric hospitals. The authors hypothesized that infection rates between hospitals would vary widely even after ... | Shunt placement; Pediatric neurosurgery | 2009 |

Farmer, Colleen G. | New perspective on the origin of endothermy | A new hypothesis for the origin of endothermy in birds is discussed. I suggest extensive parental care provided the initial impetus for the evolution of endothermy. Among extant animals one of the most important functions of an endothermic metabolism is the incubation of embryos.
