126 Couldwell, William T.Vagus nerve stimulation activates central nervous system structures in epileptic patients during PET H2(15)O blood flow imagingOBJECTIVE: To determine the central areas of activation by vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) in epilepsy. VNS is a promising neurosurgical method for treating patients with partial and secondary generalized epilepsy. The anti-epileptic mechanism of action from VNS is not well understood. METHODS: We p...Epilepsy; Positron emission tomography; Thalamus; Vagus nerve stimulation1996

129 Cashdan, Elizabeth A.Why is testosterone associated with divorce in men?There is evidence that in women high levels of testosterone are associated with more sexual partners and more permissive sexual attitudes. If a similar relationship holds true for men, the higher basal testosterone levels of divorced and unmarried men may be caused by this relationship rather than b...Marriage; Separation; Hormones; Sexuality1998-06
130 Pascucci, ValerioThe natural Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition for open-boundary flow analysisThe Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition (HHD), which describes a flow as the sum of an incompressible, an irrotational, and a harmonic flow, is a fundamental tool for simulation and analysis. Unfortunately, for bounded domains, the HHD is not uniquely defined, traditionally, boundary conditions are impose...2014-01-01
131 Sekercioglu, CaganChewing lice (Phthiraptera) species found on Turkish shorebirds (Charadriiformes)Approximately 4.500 species of lice have been so far described, with about 4.000 species seen on birds and with 3.000 species in the suborder Ischnocera 1. There are 465 bird species so far recorded in Turkey and the actual total is likely to exceed 500 species. However, the chewing lice fauna of th...2010-01-01
132 Capecchi, Mario R.Male fertility is dependent on dipeptidase activity of testis ACE.Testis angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is an isozyme exclusively expressed by developing sperm. This protein has only a single catalytic domain containing the HEXXH consensus-site motif typical of zinc metallopeptidases. The exact role of testis ACE is unknown, but male mice lacking the protein ...Amino Acid Motifs; Blotting, Western; Catalytic Domain; Comparative Study; Isoenzymes; Protein Structure, Tertiary2005-11-11
133 Fuhrmann, SabineExtraocular ectoderm triggers dorsal retinal fate during optic vesicle evagination in zebrafishDorsal retinal fate is established early in eye development, via expression of spatially restricted dorsal‐specific transcription factors in the optic vesicle; yet the events leading to initiation of dorsal fate are not clear. We hypothesized that induction of dorsal fate would require an extraocu...2012-01-01

135 Mathews, V. JohnQR-decomposition based algorithms for adaptive volterra filteringA QR-RLS adaptive algorithm for nonlinear filtering in presented. The algorithm is based solely on Givens rotation. Hence the algorithm is numerically stable and highly amenable to parallel implementations. The computational complexity of the algorithm is comparable to that of the fast transversal V...1993
136 Bohs, Lynn A.Systematics of Solanum section Allophyllum (Solanaceae)Three species of Solarium are included in a new section, Solarium sect. Allophyllum. Two of the species, S. allophyllum and S. mapiriense, have been previously known; the third, S. morellifolium Bohs, is described as new. The combination of characters exhibited by members of this section, such as un...Solanum section Allophyllum; Solanum allophyllum; Solanum morellifolium; Solanum mapiriense1990
137 Sikorski, Christopher; Pardyjak, Eric R.Source characterization of atmospheric releases using quasi-random sampling and regularized gradient optimizationIn the present work, an inversion technique to solve the atmospheric source characterization problem is described. The inverse problem comprises characterizing the source (x, y and z coordinates and the source strength) and the meteorological conditions (wind speed and wind direction) at the sourc...Source characterization; Gaussian plume model; Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC); Regularization; Newton?s method; Line-search; Tikhonov stabilizing functional; Adaptive regularization2009
138 Morse, Michael DavidSpectroscopy and electronic structure of jet-cooled GaAsAn optical spectrum, obtained by resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy, is reported for jet-cooled diatomic gallium arsenide. The ground state is identified as X??-, deriving from a ??rr? molecular configuration, and is characterized by ?" = 215 cm-1, ?"exe" = 3 cm-1, and r0' = 2.53 ? 0.02 ?. ...1989
139 Camp, Nicola J.Genome-wide linkage analysis for aggressive prostate cancer in Utah high risk pedigreesResearch has consistently shown that genetics plays a critical role in prostate cancer (CaP) development, but the identification of CaP genes has proven to be very difficult. Hereditary prostate cancer is a complex disease involving numerous genes and variable phenotypic expression. This heterogene...Linkage analysis; Aggressive prostate cancer; CaP genes; ICPCG; Utah; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009
140 Sample, SusanHigh impactFrom 1993-97, Gilbert contributed to seven articles published in top peer-reviewed journals, which were then cited 1,157 times, or an average of 165.3 times per paper. When Gilbert heard the news, "it kind of blew me away." He acknowledged that the articles, clinical trials of new drugs to treat chr...Chronic Heart Failure; ACE Inhibitors; Beta -Blockers2000-03
141 Stevens, KennethNetwork simplicity for latency insensitive coresIn this paper we examine a latency insensitive net- work composed of very fast and simple circuits that connects SoC cores that are also latency insensitive, de-synchronized, or asynchronous. These types of cores provide native flow control that is compatible with this network, thus reducing ad...2008
