526 Mathews, V. John; Nilsson, MichaelAdaptive gain processing to improve feedback cancellation in digital hearing aidsAdaptive filters are commonly used to cancel acoustic feedback in hearing aids. The sound quality of hearing aids deteriorates as the hearing aid gain is increased. This paper presents a method to alter the gain function in digital hearing aids to provide additional amplification and better output ...2008

534 Gerig, GuidoMulti-atlas segmentation of subcortical brain structures via the AutoSeg software pipelineAutomated segmenting and labeling of individual brain anatomical regions, in MRI are challenging, due to the issue of individual structural variability. Although atlas-based segmentation has show its potential for both tissue and structure segmentation, due to the inherent natural variability as wel...2014-01-01
535 Venkatasubramanian, SureshTrack estimation using link line crossing information in wireless networksDevice-free or non-cooperative localization uses the changes in signal strength measured on links in a wireless network to estimate a person's position in the network area. Existing methods provide an instantaneous coordinate estimate via radio tomographic imaging or location fingerprinting. In this...2013-01-01
536 Kestle, John R. W.Work hour restrictions: impact on neurosurgical resident training at the University of UtahResident work hour restrictions imposed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education became effective on July 1, 2003. To evaluate the effect of these regulations on resident operative experience, we reviewed and compared the surgical experience of junior and senior neurosurgical res...Neurosurgical resident training; Work hour restrictions2006
537 Zachary, Joseph L.Metamusing on object persistenceThe need to "open up languages" has led to object-oriented programming languages with object-oriented implementations. By encapsulating the fundamental aspects of a language semantics within a set of default classes and giving t h e programmer t h e flexibility of deriving new versions of these base...Metamusing; Object persistence1992
538 Smith, Philip J.Reduced-order PCA models for chemical reacting flowsOne of the most challenging aspects of turbulent combustion research is the development of reduced-order combustion models which can accurately reproduce the physics of the real system. The identification and utilization of the low dimensional manifolds in these system is paramount to understand and...2014-01-01
539 Sung, Younghoon; Kondo, Douglas Gavin; Jeong, Eun-Kee; Renshaw, Perry FranklinReview: magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies of pediatric major depressive disorderIntroduction. This paper focuses on the application of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) to the study of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in children and adolescents. Method. A literature search using the National Institutes of Health?s PubMed database was conducted to identify indexed peer-revie...2011
540 Sobh, Tarek M.Prototyping a robotic manipulator and controllerBuilding a robot and its environment (control, software, hardware, simulation, etc) is a complex task that requires the efforts of an experienced engineering team. Once a robot model has been chosen and a design has been agreed upon, it becomes difficult to make design changes without affecting the ...Robotic manipulator; Robotic controller; Prototyping1993

543 Zick, Cathleen D.Family, frailty, and fatal futures? Own-health and family-health predictors of subjective life expectancySubjective life expectancy is a powerful predictor of a variety of health and economic behaviors. This research expands upon the life expectancy literature by examining the influence of familial health histories. Using a genetic/environmental model, we hypothesize that individuals' assessments of th...2014-01-01
544 Dailey, Andrew T.Guidelines for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 14: brace therapy as an adjunct to or substitute for lumbar fusionStandards. There is insufficient evidence to recommend a treatment standard. Guidelines. The short-term use of a rigid lumbar support (1-3 weeks) is recommended as a treatment for low-back pain of relatively short duration (, 6 months). The use of a lumbar brace for patients with chronic low-back p...Fusion procedures; Degenerative disease; Lumbar spine; Low-back pain; Lumbar fusion; Brace therapy2005
545 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Ireland, Chris M.NMR structures of conotoxinsThis review discusses the methodology, structural details, and biological implications regarding NMR structures of conotoxins. NMR and molecular modeling techniques have improved to the point that three-dimensional structures of conotoxins can now be determined with a significant degree of confiden...Conotoxins1996
