51 Capecchi, Mario R.Hematopoietic origin of pathological grooming in Hoxb8 mutant miceMouse Hoxb8 mutants show unexpected behavior manifested by compulsive grooming and hair removal similar to humans with OCD-spectrum disorder trichotillomania. Since Hox gene disruption often has pleiotropic effects, the root cause of this behavioral deficit was unclear. Here we report that, in the b...2010
52 Rieth, Loren W; Solzbacher, FlorianHigh speed wafer scale bulge testing for the determination of thin film mechanical propertiesA wafer scale bulge testing system has been constructed to study the mechanical properties of thin films and microstructures.

53 Capecchi, Mario R.Hoxa1 lineage-tracing indicates a direct role for Hoxa1 in development of the inner ear, the heart and the third rhombomereLoss of Hoxa1 function results in severe defects of the brainstem, inner ear and cranial ganglia in humans and mice as well as cardiovascular abnormalities in humans. Since Hoxa1 is expressed very transiently during an early embryonic stage, it has been difficult to determine whether Hoxa1 plays a d...Hoxa1; Inner ear; Third rhombomere; Hindbrain; Hoxa1-IRES-Cre mouse; Embryonic development; Lineage-tracing2010
54 Olivera, Baldomero M.Identification of Conus peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) and assessment of their role in the oxidative folding of conotoxinsPeptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) are ubiquitous proteins that catalyze the cis-trans isomerization of prolines. A number of proteins, such as Drosophila rhodopsin and the human immunodeficiency viral protein HIV-1 Gag, have been identified as endogenous substrates for PPIases. However, ...2010
55 Ogburn, Joyce L.The imperative for data curationThe processes of creation and expression of our scientific, social, and humanistic inspirations are culminating in a vast corpus of stunning and even life-changing documents, films, recordings, Web sites, and other media, including software.

56 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.Improving undersampled MRI reconstruction using non-local meansObtaining high quality images in MR is desirable not only for accurate visual assessment but also for automatic processing to extract clinically relevant parameters. Filtering-based techniques are extremely useful for reducing artifacts caused due to undersampling of k-space (to reduce scan time...2010
57 Blair, StevenIncreased OLED radiative efficiency using a directive optical antennaWe investigate the improvement in efficiency of organic light emitting diodes/displays (OLEDs) by embedding a typical OLED structure within a metallic patch grating resonator. A patch grating resonator is similar to the more familiar Fabry-Perot resonator, except that one mirror of the resonator is ...2010
58 Freire, JulianaIndexing relations on the webThere has been a substantial increase in the volume of (semi) structured data on the Web. This opens new opportunities for exploring and querying these data that goes beyond the keyword-based queries traditionally used on the Web. But supporting queries over a very large number of apparently disconn...Dataspaces; Web relations; Rewriting2010

61 O'Rourke, Dennis H.Introduction: origins and settlement of the indigenous populations of the Aleutian ArchipelagoThe series of papers in this special issue of Human Biology use an interdisciplinary approach to address regional questions and to integrate disparate Aleutian data into a broad, synthetic effort. The contributors leverage decades of data on Aleut origins, biogeography, and behavior through integrat...2010
62 Scarpulla, MichaelInvestigating sputtered Cu2Si1-xSnxS3 (CSTS) for earth abundant thin film photovoltaicsThis study investigates the synthesis of chalcopyrite Cu2Si1-xSnxS3 (CSTS) thin films for photovoltaic solar cell absorber layers. Preliminary results indicate that layered sputtering of Cu, Sn, and Si followed by annealing in a sulfur atmosphere at 500⁰C does not provide adequate mixing or sulfu...2010
63 Von Arnim, Rudiger LennartLabor productivity and energy use in a three sector model: an application to EgyptThis paper presents a model of a developing economy with three sectors| industry, agriculture, and energy. Industry and energy are assumed to be demand- constrained, but agriculture supply-constrained. The model highlights (a) structural transformation, through labor transfer from agriculture to in...2010
64 Silverman, Randall H.Legacy of a one-man book makerLate in 1983, Dr. Gregory Thompson, newly appointed head of Special Collections at the University of Utah's Marriott Library received a call from a local gentleman interested in selling off some books. In what would become a commonplace occurrence for Thompson over the next 27 years, he and Margaret...2010
65 Ogburn, Joyce L.Library as Knowledge Commons for the UniversityFor much of the 20th century libraries were known and valued for their collections, and the defining role for a library was to be "a repository of knowledge." Although libraries continue to build and deliver a large collection of resources, we are now defined by the services we offer and our ability...Knowledge Commons2010
