 | Kraus, Peter L. | John Steele Gordon, Thread across the ocean: the historic story of the transatlantic cable | A Thread across the Ocean is a tale of historic and heroic proportions which the author fails to do justice to. The topic is the historic laying of the first telegraph cables across the Atlantic; however, though it is an enjoyable read, it is not a scholarly work. The depth of this work could have ... | 2003 | |

 | Armentrout, Peter B. | Kinetic energy dependence of association reactions. A new thermokinetic method for large systems | The reactions of bare alkali metal ions (M+5Li+, Na+, or K+) with dimethoxyethane (CH3OCH2CH2OCH3 , (DXE) are studied using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry. The bimolecular reaction forms an associative M1(DXE) complex that is long-lived and dissociates back to the reactants.

 | Kestle, John R. W. | Lack of benefit of endoscopic ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion: a multicenter randomized trial | Object. Endoscopically assisted ventricular catheter placement has been reported to reduce shunt failure in uncontrolled series. The authors investigated the efficacy of this procedure in a prospective multicenter randomized trial. Methods. Children younger than 18 years old who were scheduled for t... | Ventriculoperitoneal shunt; Shunt insertion; Shunt failure | 2003 |

 | Riloff, Ellen M. | Learning extraction patterns for subjective expressions | This paper presents a bootstrapping process that learns linguistically rich extraction patterns for subjective (opinionated) expressions. High-precision classifiers label unannotated data to automatically create a large training set, which is then given to an extraction pattern learning algorithm.

 | Riloff, Ellen M. | Learning subjective nouns using extraction pattern bootstrapping | We explore the idea of creating a subjectivity classifier that uses lists of subjective nouns learned by bootstrapping algorithms. The goal of our research is to develop a system that can distinguish subjective sentences from objective sentences. First, we use two bootstrapping algorithms that explo... | Subjective nouns; Bootstrapping; Extraction patterns; Subjectivity classifier; Naive Bayes classifier | 2003 |

 | Baehr, Wolfgang | Light-dependent redistribution of visual arrestins and transducin subunits in mice with defective phototransduction | PURPOSE: The light-dependent redistribution of phototransduction components in photoreceptor cells plays a role in light adaptation. Upon illumination, rod and cone arrestins (Arr and cArr) translocate from the inner to the outer segments while transducin subunits (Talpha, Tbetagamma) translocate in... | Phototransduction; Protein Kinases; Rhodopsin Kinase | 2003 |
