103 Tasdizen, TolgaPrincipal components for non-local means image denoisingThis paper presents an image denoising algorithm that uses principal component analysis (PCA) in conjunction with the non-local means image denoising. Image neighborhood vectors used in the non-local means algorithm are first projected onto a lower-dimensional subspace using PCA. Consequently, neigh...2008
104 Wolfinger, Nicholas H.Problems in the pipeline: gender, marriage, and fertility in the ivory towerWomen have traditionally fared worse than men in the workplace. In few places has this been more apparent than higher education (Jacobs, 1996). In 2003, women received 47% of PhDs awarded (National Center for Education Statistics [NCES], 2005a) but comprised only 35% of tenured or tenure-track fac...Family; Career; Marital Status2008
105 Freeman, Gretchen L., Salt Lake County LibraryPublic libraries for college students!In the larger community beyond ivycovered campus walls, college students are identified both as students and residents. This unique dual citizenship means they have access not only to the college library, but also to a public library serving the community where the student lives. While the pub...Students; Library materials; Library users2008

111 Fogel, Alan DaleRelationships that support human developmentWhen Susan was one-and-one-half years old, she had been playing the "lion game" with her mother for the past few months. With a lion puppet on her hand, Susan's mother made the lion roar, tickle, bite, and tease Susan, who seemed delighted to be aroused and frightened. Susan and her mother first co...2008
112 Morse, Michael DavidResonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy of jet-cooled OsCThe optical spectrum of diatomic OsC has been investigated for the first time, with transitions recorded in the range from 17 390 to 22 990 cm?1. Six bands were rotationally resolved and analyzed to obtain ground and excited state rotational constants and bond lengths. Spectra for six OsC isotopomer...2008
113 Farmer, Colleen G.Right-to-left shunt of crocodilians serves digestionAll amniotes except birds and mammals have the ability to shunt blood past the lungs, hut the physiological function of this ability is poorly understood. We studied the role of the shunt in digestion in juvenile American alligators in the following ways. First, we characterized the shunt in fasting...Postprandial; Alligators; Gastrointestinal2008
114 Bromley, Benjamin C.Rise and fall of debris disks: MIPS observations of h and chi Persei and the evolution of mid-IR emission from planet formationWe describe Spitzer MIPS observations of the double cluster, h and X Persei, covering a 0.6 deg2 area surrounding the cores of both clusters. The data are combined with IRAC and 2MASS data to investigate 616 sources from 1.25Y24 m. We use the long-baseline Ks ½24 color to identify two population...Infrared circumstellar matter; Open clusters and associations stars: Individual (NGC 869, NGC 884) planetary systems: Formation, planetary systems: Protoplanetary disks2008
115 Adler, Frederick R.Role of heterogeneity in the persistence and prevalence of sin nombre virus in deer miceMany diseases persist at a relatively low prevalence, seemingly close to extinction. For a chronic disease in a homogeneous population, reducing the transmission rate by a fraction proportional to the prevalence would be sufficient to eradicate the disease. This study examines how higher prevalence ...Transmission; Survivorship; Seropositivity2008
116 Liu, FengRole of vacancy on trapping interstitial O in heavily As-doped SiWe have investigated the interstitial oxygen (Oi) diffusion in heavily arsenic (As)-doped Si using first-principles calculations. We show that it is not the As per se but the Si vacancy (V) that trap Oi to reduce its diffusion. Arsenic actually plays the role of an arbitrator to activate thermal ge...Vacancy; Interstitial oxygen; As-doped Si; Arsenic doped silicon; Oxygen trapping; Oxygen diffusion2008
117 Couldwell, William T.; Schmidt, Richard H.Ruptured intracranial dermoid cysts: clinical, radiographic, and surgical featuresIntracranial dermoid cysts are pathologically characterized by a thick, stratified squamous epithelium cyst wall containing dermal elements. Rupture into the subarachnoid spaces and ventricles is extremely rare.
