28 Hymas, Weston C.; Hillyard, David R.Description and validation of a novel real-time RT-PCR enterovirus assayEnteroviruses are a leading cause of aseptic meningitis in adult and pediatric populations. We describe the development of a real-time RT-PCR assay that amplifies a small target in the 5' nontranslated region upstream of the classical Rotbart enterovirus amplicon. The assay includes an RNA internal ...RT-PCR enterovirus assay; Rotbart enterovirus amplicon; Aseptic meningitis2008
29 Dailey, Andrew T.; Brodke, Darrel S.Differences between neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons in classifying cervical dislocation injuries and making assessment and treatment decisions: a multicenter reliability studyVariability exists in the management of cervical spinal injuries.

34 Gondolo, PaoloEffect of dark matter on the first stars: a new phase of stellar evolutionDark matter (DM) in protostellar halos can dramatically alter the current theoretical framework for the formation of the first stars. Heat from supersymmetric DM annihilation can overwhelm any cooling mechanism, consequently impeding the star formation process and possibly leading to a new stellar ...Dark stars2008
35 Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L.Effects of hemoglobin (Hb) E and HbD traits on measurements of glycated Hb (HbA1c) by 23 methods.Glycohemoglobin (GHB), reported as hemoglobin (Hb) A1c, is a marker of long-term glycemic control in patients with diabetes and is directly related to risk for diabetic complications. HbE and HbDare the second and fourth most common Hb variants worldwide. We investigated the accuracy of HbA1c measur...Glycohemoglobin; GHB; Glycated Hb; Glycemic control2008
36 Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L.Effects of hemoglobin C and S traits on the results of 14 commercial glycated hemoglobin assaysGlycated hemoglobin is widely used in the management of diabetes mellitus. At least 300,000 Americans with diabetes mellitus have the hemoglobin (Hb) C or S trait. The accuracy of HbA1c methods can be adversely affected by the presence of these traits. We evaluated the effects of HbC and HbS traits ...Glycated hemoglobin assays; Hemoglobin C trait; Hemoglobin S trait2008
37 Scarpulla, MichaelElectrical transport and ferromagnetism in Ga1−xMnxAs synthesized by ion implantation and pulsed-laser meltingWe present a detailed investigation of the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of thin films of ferromagnetic Ga1−xMnxAs synthesized using ion implantation and pulsed-laser melting (II-PLM). The field and temperature-dependent magnetization, magnetic anisotropy, temperature-dependent resist...GaMnAs; Gallium arsenide2008
38 Liu, FengEnhanced growth instability of a strained film on wavy substrateWe demonstrate that the growth of a strained film is inherently less stable on a wavy substrate than on a flat substrate. For small surface undulation, the lowest strain energy state is for the film surface to adopt the same wavelength as the substrate surface in an antiphase configuration at the ea...Growth instability; Strained film; Wavy substrate; Strain induced self-assembly2008
39 Carter, JohnEnsuring prolonged participation and deterring cheating behaviors in a collectiveWe are building a system that harnesses the idle resources (cpu, storage, and bandwidth) of nodes (e.g., home desktops) distributed across the Internet to build useful distributed services like content distribution or remote backup. Users are compensated in return for contributing their nodes? id...Collective systems; Cheating; Idle resources; Nodes2008

41 Mineau, Geraldine PageEstimating recurrence of spontaneous preterm deliveryTo identify factors associated with spontaneous preterm birth and to estimate the risk of its recurrence for the second through fourth births among women in Utah who had a first and any subsequent birth between 1989 and 2001, using a retrospective cohort study design.Spontaneous preterm delivery2008
42 Guilkey, James Edward; Berzins, MartinExamination and analysis of implementation choices within the material point method (MPM)The Material Point Method (MPM) has shown itself to be a powerful tool in the simulation of large deformation problems, especially those involving complex geometries and contact where typical finite element type methods frequently fail. While these large complex problems lead to some impressive si...GIMP; Meshfree methods; Meshless methods; Particle methods; Smoothed particle hydrodynamics; Quadrature2008
