76 Couldwell, William T.Medpor implant in cranioorbitomaxillary reconstruction: institutional experience and a review of the literatureAutologous materials remain the gold standard for complex skull base and craniofacial reconstruction, but they carry additional morbidity associated with the second harvest procedure and with prolonged operation time. These autologous materials also resorb in a way that is not predictable, rendering...Medpor; Alloplastic material; Autogenous tissue; Craniofacial reconstruction; Skull base surgery; Methylmethacrylate; Silicone2008
77 Schmidt, Meic H.Minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach for anterior decompression and stabilization of metastatic spine diseaseObject. The choices available in the management of metastatic spine disease are complex, and the role of surgical therapy is increasing. Recent studies have indicated that patients treated with direct surgical decompression and stabilization before radiation have better functional outcomes than thos...Metastatic spine disease; Minimally invasive surgery; Spinal cord decompression2008
78 Liu, FengModified Timoshenko formula for bending of ultrathin strained bilayer filmsMechanical bending of nanoscale thin films can be quite different from that of macroscopic thick films. However, current understanding of mechanical bending of nanoscale thin strained bilayer films is often limited within the Timoshenko model [Timoshenko, J. Opt. Soc. Am. 11, 233 (1925)], which was ...Timoshenko formula; Bending theory; Ultrathin films; Strained nanoscale thin films; Nanofilms2008
79 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Modulated contrast and associated diffracted intensity of GaPySb1-y layers grown using organometallic vapor phase epitaxyWe have investigated the modulated structures and its associated diffracted diff_x000B_use intensity, of organometallic vapor phase epitaxially grown GaPSb (001) layers by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and transmission electron diff_x000B_raction (TED). The TEM results reveal the co-e...Organometallic vapor phase epitaxy; GaPySb1-y layers; Modulated contrast; Diffracted intensity2008
80 Bohs, Lynn A.Molecular phylogeny of the SolanaceaeA phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and provides a framework phylogeny for the entire family that helps integrate many previously-published phy...Biogeography; Chloroplast DNA; Chromosome evolution; ndhF; trnLF2008
81 Thalos, Mariam G.Molecule-for-molecule duplicationIs a molecule-for-molecule duplicate D of some entity always a perfect duplicate of it? And in particular: is D a being with consciousness if its original is? These questions summarize a certain diagnostic tool used by metaphysicians, and prominently used in service of a form of dualism that is supp...Molecule-for-molecule duplication; MFM2008
82 Chapman, David S.Monitoring aquifer recharge using repeated high-precision gravity measurements: a pilot study in South Weber, UtahRepeated high-precision gravity surveys were conducted over two infiltration cycles on an alluvial-fan aquifer system at the mouth of Weber Canyon in northern Utah as part of the Weber River Basin Aquifer Storage and Recovery Pilot Project (WRBASR). Gravity measurements collected before, during, an...Aquifer recharge; Gravity measurements; Infiltration ponds; Weber River Basin Aquifer Storage and Recovery Pilot Project2008
83 Gerton, JordanNanoscale fluorescence microscopy using carbon nanotubesWe demonstrate the first reported use of single-walled carbon nanotubes as nano-optical probes in apertureless nearfield fluorescence microscopy. We show that, in contrast to silicon probes, carbon nanotubes always cause strong fluorescence quenching when used to image dye-doped polystyrene spheres...2008
84 Scarpulla, MichaelNear-infrared absorption and semimetal-semiconductor transition in 2 nm ErAs nanoparticles embedded in GaAs and AlAsWe report strong near-infrared absorption peaks in epitaxial films of GaAs and AlAs containing approximately 0.5-5% of the semimetal ErAs. The energy of the resonant absorption peak can be changed from 0.62 to 1.0 eV (2.2-1.4 μm) by variation of the ErAs volume fraction and the substrate temperatu...Near-infrared absorption; Semimetal-semiconductor transition; GaAs; AlAs; ErAs; Gallium arsenide; Aluminum arsenide2008
85 Stevens, KennethNetwork simplicity for latency insensitive coresIn this paper we examine a latency insensitive net- work composed of very fast and simple circuits that connects SoC cores that are also latency insensitive, de-synchronized, or asynchronous. These types of cores provide native flow control that is compatible with this network, thus reducing ad...2008
86 Sanchez, Thomas W.New suburban politics: a county?based analysis of metropolitan voting trends since 2000This chapter looks at voting patterns in the American suburbs in the national elections of 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006. Understanding these patterns is critical to understanding future elections, because the suburbs are now quasi urban and home to over half of the U.S. population.(1) Although it was ...Elections; Voting patterns; Urban politics2008
87 Francis, LeslieNo disability standpoint here!: law school faculties and the invisibility problemEndeavors to increase diversity in higher education invite many questions, including concerns about consistent and categorical application of the motivating values. For example, do law schools, and especially elite law schools, do enough to promote inclusiveness in the legal profession if their eff...Diversity; Higher education; Law school faculties; Invisibility problem2008
88 Scarpulla, MichaelNonmagnetic compensation in ferromagnetic Ga1-xMnxAs and Ga1-xMnxP synthesized by ion implantation and pulsed-laser meltingThe electronic and magnetic effects of intentional compensation with nonmagnetic donors are investigated in the ferromagnetic semiconductors Ga1−xMnxAs and Ga1−xMnxP synthesized using ion implantation and pulsed-laser melting. It is demonstrated that compensation with nonmagnetic donors and MnI ...Ferromagnetic semiconductors2008

90 Miller, Jan D.; Yost, Garold S.; Veranth, John M.Novel method to detect unlabeled inorganic nanoparticles and submicron particles in tissue by sedimentation field-flow fractionationA novel methodology to detect unlabeled inorganic nanoparticles was experimentally demonstrated using a mixture of nano-sized (70 nm) and submicron (250 nm) silicon dioxide particles added to mammalian tissue. The size and concentration of environmentally relevant inorganic particles in a tissue sa...Sedimentation field-flow fractionation; transmission electron microscopy; tissue digestion2008
91 Thalos, Mariam G.On planning: toward a natural history of goal attainmentThe goal of the essay is to articulate some beginnings for an empirical approach to the study of agency, in the firm conviction that agency is subject to scientific scrutiny, and is not to be abandoned to high-brow aprioristic Philosophy;. Drawing on insights from decision analysis, game theory, gen...2008
92 Coley, Phyllis D.On turning green into goldAnthropogenic effects on the climate and biodiversity of our planet are among the most troubling and perhaps irreversible threats facing scientists, policymakers, and citizens.
