176 Wen, MingUGT1A1*28 polymorphism as a determinant of irinotecan disposition and toxicityThe metabolism of irinotecan (CPT-11) involves sequential activation to SN-38 and detoxification to the pharmacologically inactive SN-38 glucuronide (SN-38G). We have previously demonstrated the role of UGT1A1 enzyme in the glucuronidation of SN-38 and a significant correlation between in vitro glu...UGT1A1*28 polymorphism; Irinotecan disposition; Irinotecan toxicity; Glucuronidation; SN-382002
177 Christensen, Douglas A.Using the cardiovascular system to illustrate fundamental laws and principles in a freshman courseOur Fundamentals of Bioengineering I course is organized around key physical and engineering laws and principles.

178 Olivera, Baldomero M.Venomous gastropods: Conus, conoideans and other neogastropod familiesA review of the present understanding of the mechanism of envenomation by cones is presented. The expanding applications of cone snail venom components in biomedical science are the degree to which the envenomation strategy may be shared by other venomous gastropod groups is explored based on a prel...Venomous gastropods; Conoideans; Conotoxins; Envenomation; Toxoglossa2002
179 Adler, Frederick R.Virulence management in biocontrol agentsAlthough biological control is founded upon the virulence of natural enemies to the targeted pests, there has been little effort to understand how this might change, let alone to manage it. Frank Fenner and colleagues can be credited with being the first (and last!) to monitor changes in virulence ...Pathogens; Management; Natural2002

181 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.Viscous behavior in a quasi-1D fractal cluster glassThe spin glass transition of a quasi-1D organic-based magnet ([MnTPP][TCNE]) is explored using both ac and dc measurements. A scaling analysis of the ac susceptibility shows a spin glass transition near 4 K, with a viscous decay of the thermoremanent magnetization recorded above 4 K.We propose an ex...Transition; Magnet; Magnetization2002
182 Friedrich, FrancesVisual perception without awareness in a patient with posterior cortical atrophy: impaired explicit but not implicit processing of global informationA patient with progressive posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) was examined on several tests of visual cognition. The patient displayed multiple visual cognitive deficits, which included problems identifying degraded stimuli, attending to two or more stimuli simultaneously, recognizing faces, tracing s...Posterior cortical atrophy; Global-local processing; Consciousness; Balint's syndrome; Simultanagnoisa2002
183 Friedrich, FrancesVisual perception without awareness in a patient with progressive posterior cortical atrophy: impaired explicity but not implicit processing or global informationA patient with progressive posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) was examined on several tests of visual cognition.

184 Hansen, Charles D.Volume rendering multivariate data to visualize meteorological simulations: a case studyHigh resolution computational weather models are becoming increasing complex. However, the analysis of these models has not benefited from recent advancements in volume visualization. This case study applies the ideas and techniques from multi-dimensional transfer function based volume rendering to ...Volume rendering; Direct volume rendering; Isosurfaces; Ray casting; Ray differentials; Transfer function; Preintegration; View dependent2002
185 Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael; Yoshikami, Dojuα-Conotoxin GIC from Conus geographus, a novel peptide antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptorsMany venomous organisms produce toxins that disrupt neuromuscular communication to paralyze their prey. One common class of such toxins comprises nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists (nAChRs). Thus, most toxins that act on nAChRs are targeted to the neuromuscular subtype. The toxin chara...Conotoxins; Conotoxin GIC; Conus geographus; Peptide antagonists2002

187 Chachas, MaryBetter resolutionThere's hardly anyone around today who is not familiar with the ultrasound image of a baby in the uterus. Usually it's confirmation that the fetus is all right, and the birth can be anticipated with joy. The skilled eye of a diagnostics expert, however, may detect something troubling.

188 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineConjugation-length dependence of spin-dependent excition formations rates in ∏-conjugated oligomers and polymersWe have measured the ratio, r =ơ s/ơT of the formation cross section, ơ of singlet and triplet excitons from polarons in ∏-conjugated oligomer and polymer films, using a spectroscopic technique we developed recently. We discovered a universal relation between r and the conjugation length (CL): ...pi-conjugated polymers; Conjugation length; Polaron recombination2002-04

The purpose of the Library and Information Technology Forum is to inform the University of Utah community about electronic information resources, and current trends in the use of computers and online technologies for accessing these resourcesContent Development Tool; CDT2002-03
190 Gondolo, PaoloCosmic ray positron excess and neutralino dark matterUsing a new instrument, the HEAT Collaboration has confirmed the excess of cosmic ray positrons that they first detected in 1994. We explore the possibility that this excess is due to the annihilation of neutralino dark matter in the galactic halo. We confirm that neutralino annihilation can produ...Neutralinos; Supersymmetric models; Positron flux; Annihilations2002-02
191 Wu, Yong-ShiDeformed Hubbard operator, bosonization, and phase diagram of the one-dimensional t-J modelWe present an analytic study of the phase diagram of the one-dimensional t-J model and a couple of its cousins. To deal with the interactions induced by the no double occupancy constraints, we introduce a deformation of the Hubbard operators. When the deformation parameter ∆ is small, the induced...Hubbard operator; Bosonization; Deformation; t-J model2002-10
