77 Maloney, Thomas N.Making the effort: the racial contours of Detroit's labor markets, 1920-1940In 1940 the Ford Motor Company employed half of the black men in Detroit but only 14 percent of the whites. The authors postulate that black Detroiters were concentrated at Ford because they were excluded from working elsewhere. Those most affected were young married black men. A Ford job was vir...Automotive workers - Black people; Ford Motor Company1995
78 Mathews, V. JohnMassively parallel algorithm for vector quantizationThis paper is concerned with the parallel implementation of a vector quantizer system on Maspar MP-2, a single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) massively parallel computer. A vector quantizer (VQ) consists of two mappings: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder assigns to each input vector the inde...1995
79 Hansen, Charles D.Massively parallel visualization: parallel renderingThis paper presents rendering algorithms, developed for massively parallel processors (MPPs), for polygonal, spheres, and volumetric data.

83 Kriesel, John D.Miliary Tuberculosis and the postpartum stateIn 1985, a resurgence of tuberculosis began in the United States. In conjunction with this resurgence, there has been an increase in the number of atypical presentations of the disease. We recently treated a patient who had disseminated tuberculosis that became manifest in the postpartum state. Wher...Miliary tuberculosis; Postpartum1995
84 Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh; Henderson, Thomas C.Modeling and verification of distributed control scheme for mobile robotsIn this report we present a sensor-based distributed control scheme for mobile robots. This scheme combines centralized and decentralized control strategies. Each group of sensors is considered to be a process that performs sensing and carries out local control tasks as well.

85 Kestle, John R. W.Natural history of cerebral cavernous malformationsTo determine the natural history of brain cavernous malformations, the authors entered patients referred to their center into a prospective registry between 1987 and 1993.

86 Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael; Gray, William Robert; Hillyard, David R.New family of conotoxins that block voltage-gated sodium channelsConus peptides, including ω-conotoxins and α-conotoxins (targeting calcium channels and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, respectively) have been useful ligands in neuroscience. In this report, we describe a new family of sodium channel ligands, the μO-conotoxins.Conotoxins; Sodium channel blockers1995
87 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Gray, William RobertNew family of Conus peptides targeted to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptorIn this work, a new family of Conus peptides, the αA-conotoxins, which target the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, is defined. The first members of this family have been characterized from the eastern Pacific species, Conus purpurascens (the purple cone); three peptides that cause paralysis in fis...Conotoxins; Conus peptides; Conus purpurascens; Purple cone snail1995

89 Lindstrom, Gary E.Object-oriented programming in scheme with first-class modules and operator-based inheritanceWe characterize object-oriented programming as structuring and manipulating a uniform space of first-class values representing modules, a distillation of the notion of classes. Operators over modules individually achieve effects such as encapsulation, sharing, and static binding. A variety of idioms...First-class modules; Operator-based inheritance1995
90 Miller, Jan D.; Lin, Chen-LuhOn-line washability analysis for the control of coarse coal cleaning circuitsIn view of the success of recent laboratory studies using X-ray computed tomography (CT) to determine coal washability and with the availability of high-speed CT systems, it now seems possible to design an on-stream washability system for the control of coarse coal-cleaning circuits. Design features...On-stream washability; CT analyzer; coal washability1995
91 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineOptical probes of photoexcitations in fullerene thin films from femtoseconds to millisecondsWe have studied photoexcitations in various fiillerene thin films using transient photomodulation and photoluminescence from 100 fs to 50 ms and absorption-detected magnetic resonance (ADMR).
