76 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshPartial order reduction without the provisoIn this paper, we present a new partial order reduction algorithm that can help reduce both space and time requirements of on-the-fly explicit enumeration based verifiers. The partial order reduction algorithms described in [God95, HP94, Pel94, Pel96] were observed to yield very little savings in ma...Partial order reduction algorithms1996
77 Couldwell, William T.Petroclival meningiomas: surgical experience in 109 casesThe surgical removal of petroclival meningiomas has historically been associated with a high incidence of morbidity and mortality.

86 Morse, Michael DavidResonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy of the 13-electron triatomic Si2NResonant two-photon ionization spectra of 28Si2N, 28,29Si2N, and 28,30Si2N have been collected between 32 000 cm-1 and 36 000 cm-1. A fit of the rotationally resolved spectrum of the most intense band of 28Si2N at 34 314 cm-1 reveals the transition to be 2?+u ? X~ 2IIg,1/2- A molecular orbital analy...1996
87 Clayton, Dale H.Revision of the chewing louse genus Formicaphagus (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae) from Neotropical Antbirds and Gnateaters (Aves: Passeriformes)Examination of specimens of the 15 recognized species of Formicaphagus resulted in 6 new synonymies: F. laemostictus, F. latifrons, and F. peruvianus are junior synonyms of F. picturatus; F. huilae of F. angustifrons; and F. bolivianus and F. thoracicus of F. minutus. Two new species are described f...Formicaphagus; Formicaphagus arnoldi; Formicaphagus donpetersi; Antbirds; Gnateaters1996
88 Smith, Ken R.; Zick, Cathleen D.Risk of mortality following widowhood: age and sex differences by mode of deathThis study examines how spouses' deaths from sudden or lengthy illnesses differentially affect the mortality risks of surviving widows and widowers by age. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find the mortality risk differs by gender, age, and type of widowhood. For nonelderly ( < 65) wido...Risk of mortality; Widowhood; Sex differences; Role theory1996
89 Angelucci, AlessandraRole for nitric oxide in the development of the ferret retinogeniculate projectionThe ferret retinogeniculate projection segregates into eye-specific layers during the first postnatal week and into ON/OFF sublaminae, which receive inputs from either on-center or off-center retinal ganglion cells, during the third and fourth postnatal weeks. The restriction of retinogeniculate axo...Enzyme Inhibitors; Visual Pathways; Wheat Germ Agglutinin-Horseradish Peroxidase Conjugate1996
90 Schmidt, Meic H.Role of light-emitting diodes for photodynamic therapy of brain tumorsThe development of more effective light sources for Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) of brain tumors would be of benefit for both research and clinical application.

98 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Surface photoabsorption study of the effect of V/III ratio on ordering in GaInPCu-Pt ordering is widely observed in Ga0.5In0.5P layers grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy. The degree of order is a strong function of the input partial pressure of the phosphorus precursor, i.e., the V/III ratio, during growth. By observing the surface structure using in situ surface p...Degree of order; Photoluminescence; Transmission electron microscopy1996
