 | Zhdanov, Michael | Discussion and reply: comments on "electromagnetic geophysics: notes from the past and the road ahead" | The direct current and electromagnetic methods have been around for almost 180 years and have been applied successfully in mining, petroleum, geotechnical, engineering, environmental, groundwater, and tectonic studies. Over such a long period of time, it is possible to lose track of who the pioneers... | 2012-01-01 | |

Applying lessons learned in aviation to healthcare | Aviation's successful use of Decision Support Systems (DSS) has not been replicated in the healthcare subset of DSS referenced as Clinical Decision Support (CDS). Here the domains of healthcare and aviation are compared and contrasted providing an overview of the adaptation of lessons learned in avi... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Wei, Y. H. Dennis | Dynamics, space, and regional inequality in provincial China: a case study of Guangdong province | This paper investigates the regional inequality in one of the most developed provinces in China, Guangdong, from 1979 to 2009 and follows the multi-scale and multi-mechanism framework. We have found a new round of intensifying inequality in Guangdong since the early 2000s, which is attributed to the... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Korinek, Kim | The effect of household and community on school attrition: an analysis of Thai youth | We analyze school attrition among youth in Kanchanaburi province, Thailand. We find that family investments in schooling are shaped by both household and local community contexts. There is an enrollment advantage for girls across different households and communities. We find that youth whose mothers... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Gondolo, Paolo | The effect of quark interactions on dark matter kinetic decoupling and the mass of the smallest dark halos | The kinetic decoupling of dark matter (DM) from the primordial plasma sets the size of the first and smallest DM halos. Studies of the DM kinetic decoupling have hitherto mostly neglected interactions between the DM and the quarks in the plasma. Here we illustrate their importance using two framewor... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Podlog, Leslie William | The effect of variety expectations on interest, enjoyment, and locus of causality in exercise | Most attempts to influence intrinsic motivation have focused on contextual support for basic need satisfaction, including the provision of autonomy support, structure, and interpersonal involvement (e.g., Edmunds et al. in Eur J Soc Psychol 38:375-388, 2008). This study explored the extent to which ... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Kumpfer, Karol | Effectiveness of a culturally adapted strengthening families program 12-16 years for high-risk Irish families | BACKGROUND: Evidence-based programs (EBPs) targeting effective family skills are the most cost effective for improving adolescent behavioural health. Cochrane Reviews have found Strengthening Families Program (SFP) to be the most effective substance abuse prevention intervention. Standardized cultur... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Couldwell, William T. | Efficacy of clip-wrapping in treatment of complex pediatric aneurysms | Purpose: Pediatric aneurysms (PAs) are distinct from their adult counterparts with respect to typical location, aneurysm type, and known predisposing risk factors. Many strategies have been employed to treat PAs, but, although it has been used frequently in adults, clip-wrapping in pediatric patient... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Pascucci, Valerio | Efficient data restructuring and aggregation for I/O acceleration in PIDX | Hierarchical, multiresolution data representations enable interactive analysis and visualization of large-scale simulations. One promising application of these techniques is to store high performance computing simulation output in a hierarchical Z (HZ) ordering that translates data from a Cartesian ... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Venkatasubramanian, Suresh | Efficient protocols for distributed classification and optimization | A recent paper [1] proposes a general model for distributed learning that bounds the communication required for learning classifiers with e error on linearly separable data adversarially distributed across nodes. In this work, we develop key improvements and extensions to this basic model. Our first... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Sudan, Kshitij | Efficient scrub mechanisms for error-prone emerging memories | Many memory cell technologies are being considered as possible replacements for DRAM and Flash technologies, both of which are nearing their scaling limits. While these new cells (PCM, STT-RAM, FeRAM, etc.) promise high density, better scaling, and non-volatility, they introduce new challenges. Solu... | 2012-01-01 | |

 | Liu, Feng | Electronic strengthening of graphene by charge doping | Graphene is known as the strongest 2D material in nature, yet we show that moderate charge doping of either electrons or holes can further enhance its ideal strength by up to 17%, based on first-principles calculations. This unusual electronic enhancement, versus conventional structural enhancement,... | 2012-01-01 | |
