26 Bergerson, Amy A.Conflict at Pierce CollegeThis case was written for use in courses in higher education leadership. It is particularly useful for examining the environment in which decisions are made in higher education institutions. In the case, a young administrator is confronted with an ethical dilemma. She initially receives the suppo...Politics.; Ethics; Leadership2004
27 Hansen, Charles D.Constrained inverse volume rendering for planetary nebulaeDetermining the three-dimensional structure of distant astronomical objects is a challenging task, given that terrestrial observations provide only one viewpoint.

28 Battin, Margaret P.Coping with methuselah the impact of molecular biology on medicine and societyThe prospect of extra-long life spawns a bloom of ethical issues, among them how to achieve intergenerational equity; how to balance health care entitlements with rising costs for the elderly; how to divide years of life between work and retirement; how to assign the responsibilities of young family...2004
29 Brown, Barbara B.Crime, new housing, and housing incivilities in a first-ring suburb: multilevel relationships across timeConcepts deriving from criminology, housing policy, and environmental psychology are integrated to test two ways that housing conditions could relate to crime in a declining first-ring suburb of Salt Lake City. For existing housing, we use a model to test whether housing incivilities, such as litte...Community development; community revitalization; crime; urban policy2004
30 Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L.Cross-reactivity of three recombinant insulin analogs with five commercial insulin immunoassaysSeveral new insulin analogs that are prepared with recombinant DNA technology are available for clinical use [for a recent review, see Ref.

33 Liu, FengDetermining the adsorptive and catalytic properties of strained metal surfaces using adsorption-induced stressWe demonstrate a model for determining the adsorptive and catalytic properties of strained metal surfaces based on linear elastic theory, using first-principles calculations of CO adsorption on Au and K surfaces and CO dissociation on Ru surface. The model involves a single calculation of the adsorp...Strained metal surfaces; Adsorption-induced stress; Adsorptive properties; Catalytic properties2004
34 Drews, Frank; Strayer, David LeeDevelopment and evaluation of a high-fidelity simulator training program for snowplow operatorsThe safe operation of a snowplow requires a high level of expertise. Drivers often operate in very stressful situations, maneuvering 30 tons of equipment in tight quarters in blizzard conditions. Drivers often work long shifts, negotiate their vehicle in heavy traffic, on slippery roads with very li...Snowplow operators; simulators; accidents2004
35 Zimmer, ZacharyDifferentials in life expectancy and active life expectancy by socioeconomic status among older adults in BeijingThe study compares estimates of life expectancy and active life expectancy across indicators of socioeconomic status for a cohort of older adults in Beijing Municipality. Our aim is to determine whether associations found are consistent across indicators and with those typically observed in Western...Active life expectancy; functional limitations2004
36 Herbert, John; Arlitsch, Kenningdigitalnewspapers.org: The Digital Newspapers Program at the University of UtahThis article describes the Utah Digital Newspapers Program at the University of Utah's Marriott Library. Background information regarding the historical importance of newspapers, the current state of commercial newspaper digitization and the problems with small newspaper digitization are reviewed, a...Digital libraries; Newspaper and periodical libraries; Library materials, Digitization2004
37 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineDirectional emission from asymmetric microlaser resonators of ∏-conjugated polymersA ∏-conjugated polymer film was fabricated into an asymmetric microlaser resonator having a quadrapole deformation with irregular boundaries and a Q factor of 600. At high excitation intensities above the threshold for lasing, we observed multimode laser emission spectra and directional emission a...Directional emission; Asymmetric microlaser resonators; pi-conjugated polymers; DOO-PPV; poly(dioctyloxy) phenylene vinylene2004
38 Olson, Randall J.Early experiences with microphacoMicrophaco is the separation of irrigation from aspiration that allows removal of cataracts through sub-2mm incisions. While proven intraocular lenses (IOLs) are not available at this time to take advantage of the small wounds, these wounds are advantageous from a separating irrigation standpoint w...Microphaco; Cataracts; Irrigation; Wounds2004
39 Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Rieth, Loren W.Effects of Br and Cl on organometallic vapor phase epitaxial growth and ordering in GaInPCuPt ordering in GaInP has significant effects on the electrical and optical properties. In fact, band gap reductions as large as 160 meV are potentially useful for devices. Thus, control of ordering is important. This has led to the investigation of surfactants that affect the surface processes d...Band gap reductions; Surfactants; Surface processes2004
40 Scarpulla, MichaelEffects of pressure on the band structure of highly mismatched Zn1-yMnyOxTe1-x alloysWe report photomodulation spectroscopy measurements of the pressure dependence of the optical transition in Zn12yMnyOxTe1-x alloys that is associated with the lowest Ѓ conduction band (termed E2 subband). The pressure-induced energy shift of the E2 transition is nonlinear and much weaker as compare...Highly mismatched alloys; Zinc telluride; Anticrossing2004
41 Kestle, John R. W.; MacDonald, Joel D.; Couldwell, William T.Efficacy of multiple intraarterial papaverine infusions for improvement in cerebral circulation time in patients with recurrent cerebral vasospasmObject. Cerebral vasospasm that is caused by aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and that is refractory to maximal medical management can be treated with selective intraarterial papaverine infusions.
