Silverman, Randall H. | Litany of 'terrible, no good, very bad' things that can happen after the disaster | On average, 464 disasters occur each year in all parts of the globe. Some are more catastrophic than others; research reveals that excluding drought, famine and war, approximately 197 take place in Asia, 111 in the Americas, 77 in Europe, 61 in Africa, and 18 in Oceania. As a result, 50,000 people a... | 2004 | |

Adler, Frederick R. | Virulence management in biocontrol agents | Although biological control is founded upon the virulence of natural enemies to the targeted pests, there has been little effort to understand how this might change, let alone to manage it. Frank Fenner and colleagues can be credited with being the first (and last!) to monitor changes in virulence ... | Pathogens; Management; Natural | 2002 |

Henderson, Thomas C.; Sikorski, Christopher | Computational sensor networks | We propose Computational Sensor Networks as a methodology to exploit models of physical phenomena in order to better understand the structure of the sensor network. To do so, it is necessary to relate changes in the sensed variables (e.g., temperature) to the aspect of interest in the sensor netw... | Computational sensor networks | 2007 |

Brunvand, Erik L. | Fred: an architecture for a self-timed decoupled computer | Decoupled computer architectures provide an effective means of exploiting instruction level parallelism. Selftimed micropipeline systems are inherently decoupled due to the elastic nature of the basic FIFO structure, and may be ideally suited for constructing decoupled computer architectures. Fred ... | 1996 | |

Battin, Margaret P. | Cases for kids: using puzzles to teach aesthetics to children | Nothing stupefies kids (I have in mind young people, though the same is true of many adults) as quickly as long-winded, jargon-filled, highly abstract theoretical discourse, especially when it seems to have no immediate utility. Kids like fun. They like play; they like games; they like challenges an... | Aesthetics; Education; Children; Puzzles | 1994 |

George, Lal | An abstract machine for parallel graph reduction | An abstract machine for parallel graph reduction on a shared memory multiprocessor is described. This is intended primarily for normal order (lazy) evaluation of functional programs. It is absolutely essential in such a design to adapt an efficient sequential model since during execution under limit... | Parallel graph reduction | 1989 |

Beckerle, Mary C. | Biochemical and molecular characterization of the chicken cysteine-rich protein, a developmentally regulated LIM-domain protein that is associated with the actin cytoskeleton | LIM domains are present in a number of proteins including transcription factors, a protooncogene product, and the adhesion plaque protein zyxin. The LIM domain exhibits a characteristic arrangement of cysteine and histidine residues and represents a novel zinc binding sequence (Michelsen et al., ... | Zyxin; Cysteine-rich proteins; cCRP; Actin; LIM domains | 1994 |

Bowling, David R. | Impacts of anthropogenic emissions and cold air pools on urban to montane gradients of snowpack ion concentrations in the Wasatch Mountains, Utah | Urban montane valleys are often characterized by periodic wintertime temperature inversions (cold air pools) that increase atmospheric particulate matter concentrations, potentially stimulating the deposition of major ions to these snow-covered ecosystems. We assessed spatial and temporal patterns o... | 2014-01-01 | |
