603 Digre, Kathleen B.Serum vitamin A concentration is elevated in idiopathic intracranial hypertension.OBJECTIVE: The primary purpose was to investigate whether serum vitamin A concentration is associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). The secondary aim was to obtain pilot data regarding the amount of vitamin A ingested by patients and controls.

604 Dailey, Andrew T.; Moore, Kevin R.Value of MR neurography for evaluating extraspinal neuropathic leg pain: a pictorial essaySummary: Fifteen patients with neuropathic leg pain referable to the lumbosacral plexus or sciatic nerve underwent high-resolution MR neurography. Thirteen of the patients also underwent routine MR imaging of the lumbar segments of the spinal cord before undergoing MR neurography. Using phased-array...MR neurography; Neuropathic leg pain; Extraspinal; Lumbosacral plexus2001
605 Couldwell, William T.Ventroposterior medial pallidotomy in patients with advanced Parkinson's diseaseIN A PRELIMINARY study, the effects of ventroposterior medial pallidotomy were evaluated in five patients with advanced Parkinson's disease in whom medical therapy had failed. The mean age was 67.0 ? 5.6 years, and t h e mean Hoelin and Yahr stage when "off" was 3.9 ? 1.3. Three patients received u...Pallidotomy; Dyskinesia; Stereotaxy; Postoperative morbidity1995
606 Freire, JulianaBeyond depth-first strategies: improving tabled logic programs through alternative schedulingTabled evaluation ensures termination for programs with finite models by keeping track of which subgoals have been called. Given several variant subgoals in an evaluation, only the fi rst one encountered will use program-clause resolution; the rest will resolve with the answers generated by the f...Alternate scheduling; SLG-WAM; Tabled logic programs1998
607 Reichler, Thomas J.GCIP water and energy budget synthesis (WEBS)As part of the World Climate Research Program's (WCRPs) Global Energy and Water-Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Continental-scale International Project (GCIP), a preliminary water and energy budget synthesis (WEBS) was developed for the period 1996-1999 from the "best available" observations and models.Hydrologic cycle; Water cycle; Water and energy budgets; Regional models; Land surface models2002
608 Sarofim, Adel F.Numerical combustion of aviation fuel part I: a cross-model comparison of n-heptane premixed flameFour different n-heptane mechanisms were used to simulate a fuel rich n-heptane premixed flame and their results were compared with experimental measurements. In addition to discussion of the numerical performance of each mechanism, flux analysis coupled with the atomic distribution technique was us...Aviation fuel; n-heptane; Premixed flame2003
609 Henderson, Thomas C.Knowledge-based 2-D vision system synthesisA knowledge-based approach to computer vision provides the needed flexibility for performing recognition and inspection of objects in a complex environment. A system is described which uses knowledge about the environment, sensors, and performance requirements to construct a functional configuratio...2-D vision system1987
610 Dale, ColinA novel human-infection-derived bacterium provides insights into the evolutionary origins of mutualistic insect-bacterial symbiosesDespite extensive study, little is known about the origins of the mutualistic bacterial endosymbionts that inhabit approximately 10% of the world's insects. In this study, we characterized a novel opportunistic human pathogen, designated ‘‘strain HS,'' and found that it is a close relative of th...2012-01-01
611 Reichler, Thomas J.Breaking down the tropospheric circulation response by forcingThis study describes simulated changes in the general circulation during the twentieth and twenty -first centuries due to a number of individual direct radiat ive forcings and warming sea surface temperatures, by examining very long time-slice simulations created with an enhanced version of the Geop...2012-01-01
612 Baehr, WolfgangCloning and molecular characterization of cGMP-gated ion channels from rod and cone photoreceptors of striped bass ( M. saxatilis ) retinaVertebrate photoreceptors respond to light with changes in membrane conductance that reflect the activity of cyclic-nucleotide gated channels (CNG channels). The functional features of these channels differ in rods and cones; to understand the basis of these differences we cloned CNG channels from t...Amino Acid Sequence; Computational Biology; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction2006
613 Armentrout, Peter B.Fifty years of ion and neutral thermochemistry by mass spectrometryOriginating with the appearance potentials for "positive rays", the ability of mass spectrometry to obtain quantitative information about the energetics of both ions and neutrals has evolved dramatically. About 50 years ago, many of the techniques that are now common place were first implemented, th...2014-01-01
614 Clayton, Dale H.; Rogers, Alan R.Genetic analysis of lice supports direct contact between modern and archaic humansParasites can be used as unique markers to investigate host evolutionary history, independent of host data. Here we show that modern human head lice, Pediculus humanus, are composed of two ancient lineages, whose origin predates modern Homo sapiens by an order of magnitude (ca. 1.18 million years).Pediculus humanus; Head lice; Molecular phylogeny; Phthirus2004
615 Dailey, Andrew T.Guideline update for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 13: Injection therapies, low-back pain, and lumbar fusionThe medical literature continues to fail to support the use of lumbar epidural injections for long-term relief of chronic back pain without radiculopathy. There is limited support for the use of lumbar epidural injections for short-term relief in selected patients with chronic back pain. Lumbar intr...2014-01-01
616 Mitchell, Joyce A.International efforts in nanoinformatics research applied to nanomedicineBackground: Nanomedicine and nanoinformatics are novel disciplines facing substantial challenges. Since nanomedicine involves complex and massive data analysis and management, a new discipline named nanoinformatics is now emerging to provide the vision and the informatics methods and tools needed fo...2011-01-01
617 Wen, MingNeighborhood socioeconomic status and BMI differences by immigrant and legal status: Evidence from UtahWe build on recent work examining the BMI patterns of immigrants in the US by distinguishing between legal and undocumented immigrants. We find that undocumented women have relative odds of obesity that are about 10 percentage points higher than for legal immigrant women, and their relative odds of ...2014-01-01
618 Balasubramonian, RajeevScalable, reliable, power-efficient communication for hardware transactional memoryIn a hardware transactional memory system with lazy versioning and lazy conflict detection, the process of transaction commit can emerge as a bottleneck. This is especially true for a large-scale distributed memory system where multiple transactions may attempt to commit simultaneously and co-ordin...Hardware; Transactional memory; Communication2008
619 Gu, JunStructured, technology independent VLSI designRapid advancement in new semiconductor technologies has created a need for the design of existing integrated circuits using these new technologies.

622 Riloff, Ellen M.Corpus-based approach for building semantic lexiconsSemantic knowledge can be a great asset to natural language processing systems, but it is usually hand-coded for each application. Although some semantic information is available in general-purpose knowledge bases such as Word Net and Cyc, many applications require domain-specific lexicons that repr...Corpus-based method; Semantic lexicons1997
623 Bernstein, Paul S.; Zabriskie, Norman A.; Zhang, Kang; Leppert, Mark F.Diverse macular dystrophy phenotype caused by a novel complex mutation in the ELOVL4 genePURPOSE: A 5-bp deletion in ELOVL4, a photoreceptor-specific gene, has been associated with autosomal dominant (ad) macular dystrophy phenotypes in five related families, in which phenotypes range from Stargardt-like macular dystrophy (STGD3; Mendelian Inheritance in Man 600110) to pattern dystrophy...Linkage (Genetics); Middle Older people; Phenotype2001
624 Riloff, Ellen M.Exploiting strong syntactic heuristics and co-training to learn semantic lexiconsWe present a bootstrapping method that uses strong syntactic heuristics to learn semantic lexicons. The three sources of information are appositives, compound nouns, and ISA clauses. We apply heuristics to these syntactic structures, embed them in a bootstrapping architecture, and combine them with...Syntactic heuristics; Semantic lexicons; Bootstrapping method; Appositives; Compound nouns; ISA clauses; Co-training2002
