76 | Mamalis, Nick; Kleinmann, Guy; Chew, Jesse; Apple, David J. | Suturing a tear of the anterior capsulorhexis | AIM: To describe a new technique of suturing a tear in the anterior capsulorhexis. METHODS: Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) with lens removal was done in five fresh cadaver eyes. The diameter of the CCC was measured with a calliper. Using the same calliper a tear of the CCC was created wh... | Continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis; intraocular lens implantation; tear | 2006 | |
77 | Li, Minqi | Rise of China and the demise of the capitalist world-economy: exploring the historical possibilities in the 21st century | China's rising importance in the capitalist world economy raises questions of world-historic significance. How is China's internal social structure likely to evolve as China assumes different positions in the existing world system? Will China's current regime of accumulation survive the potential pr... | World economy; China; Economic development | 2005 | |
78 | Zhdanov, Michael | Three-dimensional inversion of large-scale EarthScope magnetotelluric data based on the integral equation method: geoelectrical imaging of the Yellowstone conductive mantle plume | Interpretation of the EarthScope MT (magnetotelluric) data requires the development of a large-scale inversion method which can address two common problems of 3D MT inversion: computational time and memory requirements. We have developed an efficient method of 3D MT inversion based on an IE (integ... | 2011 | ||
79 | Gehl, Robert W. | YouTube as archive: who will curate this digital wunderkammer? | At first glance, the ease with which individuals can access and contribute to YouTube sets it in direct opposition to large corporate media outlets with their top-down mode of dissemination. However, in this paper, I argue that despite these seemingly democratic features, YouTube is better understoo... | 2009 | ||
80 | Bergerson, Amy A. | Conflict at Pierce College | This case was written for use in courses in higher education leadership. It is particularly useful for examining the environment in which decisions are made in higher education institutions. In the case, a young administrator is confronted with an ethical dilemma. She initially receives the suppo... | Politics.; Ethics; Leadership | 2004 | |
81 | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Picosecond trapping of photocarriers in amorphous silicon | Trapping of photoexcited carriers in the picosecond and subnanosecond time domains was studied by measuring the decay of photoinduced absorption (PA) in a-Si, a-Si:F, a-Si:H, and a-Si:H:F. We found that when the midgap density of states decreases, both the trapping time and its temperature dependenc... | Photocarriers; Amorphous silicon; Picosecond trapping; Photoinduced absorption | 1983 | |
82 | Dailey, Andrew T. | Resolution of an actinomycotic abscess with nonsurgical treatment: case report | A CASE OF actinomycotic brain abscess is presented. Conservative treatment by prolonged administration of antibiotics after needle biopsy showed complete resolution of the abscess. Previously reported cases suggest that definitive treatment requires excision or open surgical drainage of the abscess... | Actinomycotic abscess; Brain abscess; Actinomyces israelii; Nonsurgical treatment | 1993 | |
83 | Hall, Thad | Are Americans confident their ballots are counted? | Expanding the large literature which investigates the characteristics of citizen and voter trust in government we analyze the heretofore neglected topic of voter trust in the electoral process. In this paper, we present results from three national surveys in which we asked voters the confidence they... | Election reform; Public management; Principal-Agent Theory | 2006-07-20 | |
84 | Hall, Thad | How hard can it be: do citizens think it is difficult to register to vote? | Political equality is seen as an intrinsic normative principle for the adequate functioning of a democratic republic. However, it is well documented that in the United States there are many qualified citizens who do not vote, many who do not participate in the political process due to procedural ... | Voting, United States; Voters; Non-voters | 2006-08-31 | |

86 | Silverman, Randall H. | Towards a national disaster response protocol | Since the Florence flood of November 4, 1966, the concept of an organized disaster response for cultural property has been a focus for conservators. In 1976, a decade after the Arno River had retreated from Florence's museums, libraries, and historic churches, a Library of Congress planning confere... | Emergency; Property; Preservation | 2006 | |
87 | Michell, Nick | On the potential of asynchronous pipelined processors | An asynchronous version of the pipelined R3000 and DLX processors, the A3000, is being designed. Simulation was employed t o investigate the potential speed-up obtainable due t o the asynchronous operation. Preliminary results show up to a 64% improvement in performance. | Pipelined processors; Pipelined R3000; DLX processors; A3000 | 1990 | |
88 | Furse, Cynthia M.; Gandhi, Om P. | Why the DFT is faster than the FFT for FDTD time-to-frequency domain conversions | Although it is a time-domain method, the finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method has been used extensively for calculating frequency domain parameters such as specific absorption rate, radar cross-section, and S-parameters. When a broad frequency band is of interest, using a broad-band pulsed ... | Discrete Fourier transform; DFT; Fast Fourier transform; FFT; Finite-difference time-domain; FDTD; Frequency domain parameters | 1995-10 | |
89 | Thompson, Cynthia A. | A personalized system for conversational recommendations | Increased computing power and theWeb have made information widely accessible. In turn, this has encouraged the development of recommendation systems that help users find items of interest, such as books or restaurants. Such systems are more useful when they personalize themselves to each user?s p... | Adaptive Place Advisor; Recommendation systems | 2002-06-26 | |
90 | Gondolo, Paolo | Aberration features in directional dark matter detection | The motion of the Earth around the Sun causes an annual change in the mag-nitude and direction of the arrival velocity of dark matter particles on Earth, in a way analogous to aberration of stellar light. In directional detectors, aberration of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) modulates ... | 2012-01-01 | ||
91 | Codding, Brian | Behavioral ecology and the future of archaeological science | The future of archaeological science relies as much (if not more) on theoretical as on methodological developments. As with anything in biology, explaining past human behavior will require the application of evolutionary theory. As with anything in archaeology, theory is useless without clear ties t... | 2015-01-01 | ||
92 | Gondolo, Paolo | Ring-like features in directional dark matter detection | We discuss a novel dark matter signature relevant for directional detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). For heavy enough WIMPs and low enough recoil energies, the maximum of the recoil rate is not in the direction of the average WIMP arrival direction but in a ring around it at ... | 2012-01-01 | ||
93 | Lobell, Steven E. | Why Israel launched a preventive military strike on Iraq's nuclear weapons program (1981): the fungibility of power reources | In 1981, Israel launched a preventive military strike against a nuclear reactor that Iraq was constructing at the Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Center. The low fungibility of Iraq's power resources, and especially its nuclear weapons program, shaped Israel's decision-making process. First, it motivated ... | Reventive war; Osiraq granular; Theory of balancing; fungibility brittle; Israel power resources | ||
94 | Jewell, Paul | Paleoredox conditions and the origin of bedded barites along the Late Devonian North American continental margin | The most important controls of the redox state of natural waters are the flux of organic matter from the photic zone, the degree of physical mixing, and oxygen concentrations of any connecting water masses. In coastal upwelling zones, these factors can be described with a simple box model constraine... | Bedded barites; Late Devonian; Continental margin; Redox state | 1994 | |
