151 Henderson, Thomas C.RobotShare: a framework for robot knowledge sharingKnowledge representation is a traditional field in artificial intelligence. Researchers have developed various ways to represent and share information among intelligent agents. Agents that share resources, data, information, and knowledge perform better than agents working alone. However, previou...RobotShare; Robot knowledge sharing2007
152 Morse, Michael DavidRotationally resolved spectra of jet-cooled RuSiWe report the first gas-phase spectroscopic investigation of diatomic ruthenium silicide (RuSi). The molecules were produced by laser ablation of a Ru disk into a flow of helium carrier gas containing 0.5% SiH4, and were cooled in a supersonic expansion. The RuSi molecules were then studied using re...2007
153 Morse, Michael DavidRotationally resolved spectra of jet-cooled VMoThe Author's report the first gas-phase spectroscopic investigation of diatomic vanadium molybdenum (VMo).

156 Sikorski, KrisSelected fixed point problems and algorithmsWe present a new version of the almost optimal Circumscribed Ellipsoid Algorithm (CEA) for approximating fixed points of nonexpanding Lipschitz functions. We utilize the absolute and residual error criteria with respect to the second norm. The numerical results confirm that the CEA algorithm is m...Fixed point problems; Optimal algorithms; Nonlinear equations; Ellipsoid algorithm; Computational complexity.2007
157 Silverman, Randall H.Seven deadly sins of disaster recoveryDisaster response is largely about managing people.

160 Morse, Michael DavidSpin-forbidden c??+??X??+ band system of YFOptical spectra of jet-cooled diatomic YF have been recorded using resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy. A vibrational progression corresponding to the c 3?1+?X 1?+ system has been identified. The vibrational frequency ?e' and anharmonicity ?'exe' of the c 3?+ state are 546.70 and 2.45 cm?1,...2007
161 Schmidt, Meic H.Spinal extradural arachnoid cysts: clinical, radiological, and surgical featuresExtradural arachnoid cysts in the spine are rare and are seldom a cause of spinal cord compression. They are thought to arise from congenital defects in the dura mater, and they almost always communicate with the intrathecal subarachnoid space through a small defect in the dura. The mainstay of trea...Spinal extradural arachnoid cyst; Spinal meningeal cyst; Neurogenic claudication2007
162 Armentrout, Peter B.Statistical modeling of sequential collision-induced dissociation thresholdsThermochemistry determined from careful analysis of the energy dependence of cross sections for collision-induced dissociation (CID) reactions has primarily come from the primary dissociation channel. Higher order dissociations generally have thresholds measured to be higher than the thermodynamic ...Collision-induced dissociation; Endothermic reactions2007
163 Chapman, David S.; Harris, Robert N.Stop-go temperature logging for precision applicationsWe describe a new field procedure for stop-go temperature logging of boreholes that attains millikelvin precision. Temperature is recorded continuously throughout the entire log, but the logging probe is held stationary for a fixed time at discrete depth intervals. Equilibrium temperatures at the di...Temperature logging; boreholes; stop-go logging method2007
164 Tiwari, AshutoshStructural, electrical, and optical characterizations of epitaxial Zn(1-x)Ga(x)O films grown on sapphire (0001) substrateIn this paper we report the structural, electrical, and optical properties of epitaxial Zn1−xGaxO films (x=0-0.05) grown on single crystal sapphire (0001) substrate by pulsed laser deposition technique. Structural and elemental analysis was performed using high-resolution x-ray diffraction (θ-2...Transparent conductive oxides; Gallium2007
165 Olivera, Baldomero M.; Zhang, MinMin; Azam, Layla; Yoshikami, Doju; Bulaj, GrzegorzStructure/function characterization of μ-Conotoxin KIIIA, an analgesic, nearly irreversible blocker of mammalian neuronal sodium channelsPeptide neurotoxins from cone snails continue to supply compounds with therapeutic potential. Although several analgesic conotoxins have already reached human clinical trials, a continuing need exists for the discovery and development of novel nonopioid analgesics, such as subtype-selective sodium c...Conotoxins; 956;-Conotoxin KIIIA; Neuronal blocker; Neurotoxins; Sodium channel blockers2007
166 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineStudies of polymer microring lasers subject to uniaxial stressThe emission spectra of microring lasers fabricated from ∏-conjugated polymer films casted on nylon microfibers with diameters in the range of 35-90 µm were studied upon application of uniaxial stress with strain up to ~12%. The laser emission spectra substantially change with the applied stress,...pi-conjugated polymers; Microring lasers; Uniaxial stress; DOO-PPV2007
167 Miller, Jan D.Surface characterization and new tools for researchIn the selective separation of mineral phases by flotation, surface chemistry is the principal determinant of the average contact angle for a specific mineral phase in flotation pulp.
