53 Fogel, Alan DaleHuman development in the twenty-first century: visionary ideas from systems scientistsThe dynamic systems approach is an emerging interdisciplinary set of principles used by a diverse collection of scientists to help understand the complex world in which we live. The main insight that unites these scientists, despite wide differences in methods and concepts, is a focus on connection...2008
54 Couldwell, William T.; Osborne, Anne G.Hypertrophic olivary degeneration after surgical removal of cavernous malformations of the brain stem: report of four cases and review of the literatureBackground: Hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) is a pathological phenomenon that occurs after injury to the dentato-olivary pathway. Its hallmarks include hypertrophy of the olive with increased T2 signal intensity on magnetic resonance imaging, and often manifests with palatal tremor and osci...Hypertrophic olivary degeneration; Surgery; Cavernous malformation; Brainstem2008
55 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (in my humble but correct opinion): Preservation, yes - but what shall we preserve?Our work as librarians has always been the work of making difficult choices, but sometimes it seems like the choices we have to make are getting harder and harder. In this column, I'd like to talk about one that's so tough we don't even talk about it: how do we decide what information is not worth t...2008
56 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): three reason I?m a librarianWhy am I a librarian? I?m sure all of us have asked ourselves that question at one time or another, and I imagine that for some of us the answer is simple and for others it?s complex or even ineffable. For me, I think it boils down to three memories from my childhood and young adulthood, all of ...Library profession; Materials access2008
57 Ehleringer, James R.Implications of CO2 pooling on δ13C of ecosystem respiration and leaves in Amazonian forestThe carbon isotope of a leaf (δ13Cleaf) is generally more negative in riparian zones than in areas with low soil moisture content or rainfall input. In Central Amazonia, the small-scale topography is composed of plateaus and valleys, with plateaus generally having a lower soil moisture status ...Amazonia; Carbon dioxide; Oxygen isotope ratio; Respiration; Soil water content2008
58 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshInspect: a runtime model checker for multithreaded C programsWe present Inspect, a runtime model checker for revealing concurrency bugs in multithreaded C programs. Inspect instruments a given program at all global interaction points, and with the help of a new scheduler, examines all relevant thread interleavings under dynamic partial order reduction (DPO...Multithreaded C programs; Model checker; Inspect; Concurrency bugs2008
59 Fuhrmann, Sabine; Zhang, Jianmin; Vetter, Monica L.Investigation of Frizzled-5 during embryonic neural development in mouseCellular and tissue--tissue interactions regulate development of the central nervous system (CNS) and a paramount question is what is the nature of the signals involved in these interactions. The vertebrate eye represents an excellent and challenging CNS model because it contains multiple cell and ...Mouse; Eye; Optic cup; Morphogenesis; Retina; Lens; Wnt; Frizzled; Pituitary2008
60 Kirby, Robert Michael IIInvestigation of smoothness-increasing accuracy-conserving filters for improving streamline integration through discontinuous fieldsStreamline integration of fields produced by computational fluid mechanics simulations is a commonly used tool for the investigation and analysis of fluid flow phenomena. Integration is often accomplished through the application of ordinary differential equation (ODE) integrators - integrators whose...Streamline integration; Finite element; Finite volume; Filtering techniques; Adaptive error control2008
61 Kestle, John R. W.It's randomized and double blinded... what more do we want?This issue of Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics presents a randomized trial in which investigators have evaluated antimicrobial suture (AMS) in the prevention of shunt infection. The authors randomized 84 shunt procedures in 61 patients over 21 months. The surgeons and patients were blinded to...2008
62 Furse, Cynthia M.Iterative array level optimization of MIMO antennasMultiple-input-multiple-output systems have gained importance in the last decade due to their ability to provide improved capacity as compared to their SISO counterparts. System optimization promises further improvement in the capacity. The optimization can be either optimization of detection algori...2008
63 Eddings, Eric G.; Sarofim, Adel F.Journey from n-heptane to liquid transportation fuels. 1. The role of the allylic radicals and its related species in aromatic precursor chemistryThe Utah normal heptane mechanism compiled from submechanisms in the literature was extended into a detailed normal decane combustion mechanism, which is a subset of the Utah surrogate mechanisms. Few species have greater impact on the concentrations of other species than the allyl radical CH2CHCH2....Utah Surrogate Mechanisms; Heptane mechanism; Decane combustion mechanism; Allyl radical; Aromatic precursors2008
64 Liu, FengKinetics of mesa overlayer growth: climbing of adatoms onto the mesa topWe have calculated the energy barriers for an adatom climbing up onto a Pb mesa top either over a facet-facet edge or through a facet-step joint, using a modified embedded atom method. We found that the second process is not only thermodynamically more favorable than the first one but also much fast...Mesa overlayer growth; Adatoms; Epitaxial growth2008
65 Francis, LeslieKnittingMy grandmother had long silver hair, high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure. She wore the silver hair in a bun during the day and in a braid at night.

66 Furse, Cynthia M.Lab report writing (and teaching!) made easyThis paper reports on a project to improve students' ability to write better lab reports and assist teaching assistants (TAs) in grading reports in a consistent manner. A lab report teaching system was developed that includes lab report templates, teaching assistant instructions, grading rubrics, ex...Lab report writing2008

69 Riloff, Ellen M.Learning to identify reduced passive verb phrases with a shallow parserOur research is motivated by the observation that NLP systems frequently mislabel passive voice verb phrases as being in the active voice when there is no auxiliary verb (e.g., "The man arrested had a long record"). These errors directly impact thematic role recognition and NLP applications that dep...Passive voice; Reduced passive verb phrases; Shallow parser; Learned classifier2008

73 Liu, FengMagnetism in nanopatterned graphite filmUsing first-principles calculations, we show that nanopatterned graphite films (NPGFs) can exhibit magnetism in analogy to graphene-based nanostructures (GBNs). In particular, graphite films with patterned nanoscale triangular holes and channels with zigzag edges all have ferromagnetic ground state...Nanopatterned graphite; Graphite films; NPGF2008
74 Schmidt, Meic H.Management of brain abscesses associated with halo fixationHalo orthoses are commonly used in the management of a variety of cervical spinal pathological conditions. Although placement of the cranial pins was initially believed to be safe with minimal complications, minor complications related to the cranial pins have the potential to create a setting for ...Cerebral abscess; Cranial pin; Halo orthosis; Halo fixation; Inner table of skull2008
75 Patrick, Sally MulfordMedical information -- when limited acess can have life changing consequencesThere is no subject where information being current, accurate and thoroughly validated is as critical as it is with medical information.
