153 Hansen, Charles D.Combined surface and volumetric occlusion shadingIn this paper, a method for interactive direct volume rendering is proposed that computes ambient occlusion effects for visualizations that combine both volumetric and geometric primitives, specifically tube shaped geometric objects representing streamlines, magnetic field lines or DTI fiber tracts....2012-01-01
154 Pascucci, ValerioCombining in-situ and in-transit processing to enable extreme-scale scientific analysisWith the onset of extreme-scale computing, I/O constraints make it increasingly difficult for scientists to save a sufficient amount of raw simulation data to persistent storage. One potential solution is to change the data analysis pipeline from a post-process centric to a concurrent approach based...2012-01-01
155 Saam, BrianComment on pressure dependence of wall relaxation in polarized 3He gaseous cellsZheng et al. [Zheng, Gao, Ye, and Zhang, Phys. Rev. A 83, 061401(R) (2011)] have measured a strong linear pressure dependence of the nuclear relaxation rate of 3He in glass cells typically used to generate and/or store polarized 3He at room and cryogenic temperatures. Their interpretation is that th...2012-01-01
156 Bisson, Erica F.Computed tomography-based determination of a safe trajectory for placement of transarticular facet screws in the subaxial cervical spine: Clinical articleObject. Placement of transarticular facet screws is one option for stabilization of the subaxial cervical spine. Small clinical series and biomechanical data support their role as a substitute for other posterior stabilization techniques; however, the application of transarticular facet screws in th...2012-01-01
157 Pascucci, ValerioComputing morse-smale complexes with accurate geometryTopological techniques have proven highly successful in analyzing and visualizing scientific data. As a result, significant efforts have been made to compute structures like the Morse-Smale complex as robustly and efficiently as possible. However, the resulting algorithms, while topologically consis...2012-01-01
158 Battin, Margaret P.Continuous sedation until death: moral justifications of physicians and nurses─a content analysis of opinion piecesContinuous Sedation until Death (CSD), the act of reducing or removing the consciousness of an incurably ill patient until death, often provokes medical-ethical discussions in the opinion sections of medical and nursing journals. A content analysis of opinion pieces in medical and nursing literature...2012-01-01
159 Sekercioglu, CaganCorrelates of elevational specialisation in Southeast Asian tropical birdsThe understanding of elevational selectivity in extremely rich tropical biotas is critical to the study of accelerating human-mediated environmental changes (e.g., deforestation and global climate warming). This paper explores the characteristics of Southeast Asian birds that are altitudinal special...2012-01-01
160 Bisson, Erica F.Cost effectiveness of subaxial fusion-lateral mass screws versus transarticular facet screwsAs health care reform continues to evolve, demonstrating the cost effectiveness of spinal fusion procedures will be of critical value. Posterior subaxial cervical fusion with lateral mass screw and rod instrumentation is a wellestablished fixation technique. Subaxial transarticular facet fixation is...2012-01-01

162 Murphy, Patricia A.Criterion-based screening for sexually transmitted infection: sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of commonly used questionsBackground: Practice protocols that mandate pre-screening for sexually transmitted infection prior to insertion of an intrauterine device for contraception can pose obstacles for women seeking this highly effective method of birth control. Some practices screen for presumed risk factors for sexually...2012-01-01
163 Andrus, JenniferCritical discourse analysis and rhetoric and compositionOver the past two decades, critical discourse analysis has emerged as a major new multidisciplinary approach to the study of texts and contexts in the public sphere. Developed in Europe, CDA has lately become increasingly popular in North America, where it is proving especially congenial to new dire...2012-01-01
164 Gale, Bruce K.Cyclical magnetic field flow fractionationIn this study, a new magnetic field flow fractionation (FFF) system was designed and modeled by using finite element simulations. Other than current magnetic FFF systems, which use static magnetic fields, our system uses cyclical magnetic fields. Results of the simulations show that our cyclical mag...2012-01-01
165 Thomas, Kirk R.Cytochrome P450 2B diversity and dietary novelty in the herbivorous, desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida)Detoxification enzymes play a key role in plant-herbivore interactions, contributing to the on-going evolution of ecosystem functional diversity. Mammalian detoxification systems have been well studied by the medical and pharmacological industries to understand human drug metabolism; however, little...2012-01-01
166 Jalili, ThunderCytosolic, but not mitochondrial, oxidative stress likely contributes to cardiac hypertrophy resulting from cardiac specific GLUT4 deletion in miceWe hypothesized that oxidative stress may contribute to the development of hypertrophy observed in mice with cardiac specific ablation of the insulin sensitive glucose transporter gene (GLUT4, G4H-/-4 ). Measurements of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) in isolated mitochondria and whole heart homogenates...2012-01-01
167 Berzins, MartinDAG-based software frameworks for PDEsThe task-based approach to software and parallelism is well-known and has been proposed as a potential candidate, named the silver model, for exas-cale software. This approach is not yet widely used in the large-scale multi-core parallel computing of complex systems of partial differential equations...2012-01-01

169 Berzins, MartinData and range-bounded polynomials in ENO methodsEssentially Non-Oscillatory (ENO) methods and Weighted Essentially Non- Oscillatory (WENO) methods are of fundamental importance in the numerical solution of hyperbolic equations. A key property of such equations is that the solution must remain positive or lie between bounds. A modification of the ...2012-01-01
170 Rosen, Paul AndrewData management and analysis with WRF and SFIREWe introduce several useful utilities in development for the creation and analysis of real wildland fire simulations using WRF and SFIRE.
