76 Blair, StevenOptical characterization of coupled resonator slow-light rib waveguidesWe report on the design, fabrication and optical characterization of a slow light waveguide created using a linear array of coupled resonators in a large cross-section rib waveguide. Structures with as many as 25 high aspect ratio resonators are experimentally investigated. The measured propagation ...2010
77 Mastrangelo, Carlos H.; Young, Darrin J.Personal navigation via high-resolution gait-corrected inertial measurement unitsAbstract-In this paper, a personal micronavigation system that uses high-resolution gait-corrected inertial measurement units is presented.

82 Hillman, Nicholas WPreparing for the silver tsunami: the demand for higher education among older adults(Over the next decade, Baby Boomers will be reaching retirement age in large numbers and the U.S. will be undergoing one of the most significant demographic shifts in its history. This demographic shift has important implications for the role of higher education as a provider of lifelong learning an...2010
83 Mastrangelo, Carlos H.Probing protein binding spectra with fourier microfluidicsNew developments in microfluidic chip technology enable the construction of chemical spectrum analyzers that can probe the binding interactions between chemical entities. In this paper we report the implementation of a microfluidic chip suitable for Fourier transform measurements of biochemical int...2010
84 Keiter, Linda S.Promoting unrequired reading in an academic libraryThe Unrequired Reading Group (URG) was established at the University of Utah, Marriott Library in 1998 to promote reading beyond the boundaries of the curriculum. A student's time spent at a college or university is one of discovery and searching, and much learning may take place outside the classr...Trapeze Interactive Poster2010
85 Voth, Gregory AlanQuantitative assessment of the accuracy of centroid molecular dynamics for the calculation of the infrared spectrum of liquid waterA detailed analysis of the infrared lineshapes corresponding to the intramolecular bond vibrations of HOD in either H2O or D2O is presented here in order to quantitatively assess the accuracy of centroid molecular dynamics in reproducing the correct features of the infrared spectrum of water at amb...2010
86 Jalili, ThunderQuercetin: a treatment for hypertension? - a review of efficacy and mechanismsQuercetin is a polyphenolic flavonoid. Common sources in the diet are apples, onions, berries, and red wine. Epidemiological studies have found an inverse relationship between dietary quercetin intake and cardiovascular disease. This has led to in vitro, in vivo, and clinical research to determine ...2010

88 Armentrout, Peter B.Relative and absolute bond dissociation energies of sodium cation-alcohol complexes determined using competitive collision-induced dissociation experimentsAbsolute (R1OH)Na+-(R2OH) and relative Na+-(ROH) bond dissociation energies are determined experimentally by competitive collision-induced dissociation of (R1OH)Na+(R2OH) complexes with xenon in a guided ion beam mass spectrometer. The alcohols examined include ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, n-but...2010
89 Morse, Michael DavidResonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy of jet-cooled tantalum carbide, TaCThe optical spectrum of diatomic TaC has been investigated for the first time, with transitions recorded in the range from 17 850 to 20 000 cm?1. Six bands were rotationally resolved and analyzed to obtain ground and excited state parameters, including band origins, upper and lower state rotational...2010
90 Kesner, Raymond P.The role of GABA-ergic interneurons in CA1 and dentate gyrus for sequence learningThe hippocampus (HPP) is widely accepted as a structure that supports spatial memory. Current interest is focused on temporal processing for sequences of events. It has been demonstrated that HPP lesions disrupt acquisition of a spatial temporal sequence in an 8-arm maze (DeCoteau & Kesner, 2000)....Hippocampus, learning, memory, interneuron, CA1, dentate gyrus, sequence2010
91 Caserta, Michael; Utz, Rebecca L.; Lund, Dale A.Sampling, recruitment, and retention in a bereavement intervention study: experiences from the living after loss projectThis paper reports on the sampling and recruitment challenges, as well as the strategies used to address them in the Living After Loss (LAL) project, a bereavement intervention study conducted in Salt Lake City and San Francisco comparing two 14-week group conditions with follow-up. We encountered...2010
92 Stevens, KennethScalable asynchronous hardware protocol verification for compositions with relative timingCorrect interaction of asynchronous hardware protocols requires verification.
