151 Henderson, Thomas C.Target-directed navigation using wireless sensor networks and implicit surface interpolationAbstract-This paper extends the novel research for event localization and target-directed navigation using a deployed wireless sensor network (WSN) [4]. The goal is to have an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) navigate to a target-location by: (i) producing an artificial magnitude distribution within th...2012-01-01
152 Zimmer, ZacharyHIV/AIDS and the living arrangements of older persons across the Sub-Saharan African regionABSTRACT: Older adults in sub-Saharan Africa face harsh living conditions including severe poverty and an HIV/AIDS epidemic that results in unprecedented rates of mortality. Yet, because of a lack of available data and only a trickle of past studies, the impact of these conditions on living circum...HIV/AIDS; Sub-Saharan Africa; Poverty2007-11-08
153 Zhdanov, Michael S.Focusing geophysical inversion imagesA critical problem in inversion of geophysical data is developing a stable inverse problem solution that can simultaneously resolve complicated geological structures. The traditional way to obtain a stable solution is based on maximum smoothness criteria. This approach, however, provides smoothe...Focusing; Geophysical inversion images; Minimum gradient support functionals; MGS1999
154 Zimmer, ZacharyShifts in coresidence among the oldest-old in China: comparing decedents and survivorsWhat we know about transitions in coresidence of older adults in China is based upon panel data involving survivors. This paper examines the tendency to shift and determinants of shifts in coresidence with adult children among very old, comparing survivors of an inter-survey period with deceden...Elderly; China; Living arrangements; Co-residence status; Mortality; End of life2008-12-30
155 Chamberlin, Joseph C.The genera and species of the tridenchthoniidae (dithidae) a family of the Arachnid order chelonethidaIn 1931, J. C. Chamberlin published an extensive treatise on the comparative external morphology and higher classification of the Chelonethida (pseudoscorpions or false scorpions).2 At that time it was the purpose to follow this work with a second volume dealing with the generic classification of th...1945-06-20
156 Paiva, MarieBeyond databases: a creative approach in keeping up with our growing resourcesMost libraries in the 21st century provide databases for their users. These databases seem to have rapidly multiplied over the years. At our academic library, there are over 320 databases available giving both librarians and patrons a broad array to choose from at any given time. Even with this abun...Databases; Library resources; Electronic resources2005
157 Furse, Cynthia M.Inexpensive distance measuring system for location of robotic vehiclesAn distance-measuring system based on a swept frequency reflectometer radar system was built and tested for application to navigation of robotic vehicles in a sealed room where GPS signals are not available. The final system built en masse would cost approximately $25. The system was simulated using...Swept frequency reflectometer radar system; Robotic vehicles2002-04-20

159 Camp, Nicola J.Survey of excess familiality in prostate cancerProstate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men, and has long been recognized to occur in familial clusters. However, identification of genes predisposing individuals to prostate cancer has been difficult. Putative PCa predisposition loci identified by genetic linkage have been...Prostate cancer; Utah Population Database; Linkage analysis; Familial compotent; Excess familiality; Trapeze Interactive Poster2009

161 Regehr, JohnARMor: fully verified software fault isolationWe have designed and implemented ARMor, a system that uses software fault isolation (SFI) to sandbox application code running on small embedded processors. Sandboxing can be used to protect components such as the RTOS and critical control loops from other, less-trusted components. ARMor guarantees m...2011-01-01
162 Schaefer, Scott; Hayes, RachelCEO pay and the Lake Wobegon effectIn this paper, we propose a new explanation for the recent increase in CEO pay at US firms. Our explanation, which is based on asymmetric information in financial markets, is motivated by a recent observation made by former DuPont CEO Edward S. Woolard, Jr.: "The main reason (CEO) compensation incre...Business; Income; Compensation; Corporate Business2007-02-28
163 Hartmann, Donald P.Cautionary note on the use of omega squared to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioral treatmentsEstimating the magnitude of treatment effects has been recommended as a solution to the problems associated with conventional hypothesis testing. In comparison to tradition statistical tests of treatment effectiveness, omega squared (ω2) and related magnitude of effect statistics provide a graduat...Magnitude of effects; Omega squared1981
164 Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L.Comparison of five automated serum and whole blood folate assaysSerum and whole blood folate measurements are used to establish folate deficiency. Most methods used in clinical laboratories are automated, nonisotopic methods that use folate-binding protein. Linearity, imprecision, and method comparison studies, including serum and whole blood hemolysates, wer...Folate assays; Serum folate; Whole blood folate; Automated assays2003
165 Liu, FengMetal-to-semiconductor transition in squashed armchair carbon nanotubesWe investigate electronic transport properties of the squashed armchair carbon nanotubes, using tight-binding molecular dynamics and the Green's function method. We demonstrate a metal-to-semiconductor transition while squashing the nanotubes and a general mechanism for such a transition. It is the ...Squashed armchair; Carbon nanotubes; Metal-to-semiconductor transition; Electronic transport; Tight-binding molecular dynamics; Squashed nanotubes2003-04
166 Gondolo, PaoloAnnual modulation of dark matter in the presence of streamsIn addition to a smooth component of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter in galaxies, there may be streams of material; the effects of WIMP streams on direct detection experiments is examined in this paper. The contribution to the count rate due to the stream cuts off at some char...WIMP streams; Weakly interacting massive particles; Cutoff energy; Halo models; Sagittarius dwarf galaxy; Recoil energy; Sgr stream2006-08
167 Christensen, Douglas A.Biosensor development at the University of UtahInterest in biosensors has increased rapidly in the past few years due to the many potential advantages of these devices, such as small size, speed of response, and specificity 111.

170 Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B.Modeling the amplification dynamics of human Alu retrotransposonsRetrotransposons have had a considerable impact on the overall architecture of the human genome. Currently, there are three lineages of retrotransposons (Alu, L1, and SVA) that are believed to be actively replicating in humans. While estimates of their copy number, sequence diversity, and levels of ...Retrotransposons; Amplification dynamics; Mutation; Human-chimpanzee divergence2005
