176 Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, PatrickStress gradient balance layers and scale hierarchies in wall-bounded turbulent flowsSteady Couette and pressure-driven turbulent channel flows have large regions in which the gradients of the viscous and Reynolds stresses are approximately in balance (stress gradient balance regions). In the case of Couette flow, this region occupies the entire channel. Moreover, the relevant featu...Couette flow; Stress gradient balance; Reynolds stress; Turbulent channel flow2005
177 Schmidt, Meic H.Surgical technique and results of endoscopic anterior spinal canal decompressionObject. Decompression of the spinal canal in the management of thoracolumbar trauma is controversial, but many authors have advocated decompression in patients with severe canal compromise and neurological deficits. Anterior decompression, corpectomy, and fusion have been shown to be more reliable f...Anterior approach; Anterior decompression; Spinal trauma; Endoscopy2005
178 Goller, FranzSynthesizing bird songIn this work we present an electronic syrinx: an analogical integrator of the equations describing a model for sound production by oscine birds. The model depends on time varying parameters with clear biological interpretation: the air sac pressure and the tension of ventral syringeal muscles. We te...Syrinx; Tension; Transducer2005
179 Voth, Gregory AlanSystematic coarse-graining of nanoparticle interactions in molecular dynamics simulationA recently developed multiscale coarse-graining procedure [Izvekov, S.; Voth, G. A. J. Phys. Chem. B 2005, 109, 2469] is extended to derive coarse-grained models for nanoparticles. The methodology is applied to C60 and to carbonaceous nanoparticles produced in combustion environments.

180 Schmidt, Meic H.Thoracoscopic spine surgery for decompression and stabilization of the anterolateral thoracolumbar spineThe anterior thoracolumbar spine can be exposed via a variety of approaches. Historically, open anterolateral or posterolateral approaches have been used to gain access to the anterior thoracolumbar spinal column. Although the exposure is excellent, open approaches are associated with significant pa...Endoscopic spinal surgery; Thoracic spine; Lumbar spine; Thoracoscopic spinal instrumentation2005
181 Couldwell, William T.Thrombosed basilar apex aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalusAneurysms presenting as third ventricular masses are uncommon; most are giant aneurysms arising from the basilar apex. We present a case of a thrombosed basilar apex aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalus in a 55-year-old man. The case is unique in the literature as the an...Basilar apex aneurysm; Ventricular mass; Third ventriculostomy2005
182 Schmidt, Meic H.Titanium cage-assisted polymethylmethacrylate reconstruction for cervical spinal metastasisReconstruction and stabilization of the cervical spine after vertebrectomy is an important goal in the surgical management of spinal metastasis.

183 Martin, JimTorso stabilization reduces the metabolic cost of producing cycling powerMany researchers have used cycling exercise to evaluate muscle metabolism. Inherent in such studies is an assumption that changes in whole-body respiration are due solely to respiration at the working muscle. Some researchers, however, have speculated that the metabolic cost of torso stabilization...Torso stabilization; Efficiency; Economy; Static contraction; Work2005

185 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Baranov, Pavel V.; Atkins, John F.; Hammer, Andrew W.Transcriptional slippage in bacteria: distribution in sequenced genomes and utilization in IS element gene expressionABSTRACT: Background: Transcription slippage occurs on certain patterns of repeat mononucleotides, resulting in synthesis of a heterogeneous population of mRNAs. Individual mRNA molecules within this population differ in the number of nucleotides they contain that are not specified by the templat...Transcription slippage; Bacterial genomes; IS element genes2005
186 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineTransport studies of isolated molecular wires in self-assembled monolayer devicesWe have fabricated a variety of isolated molecule diodes based on self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of solid-state mixture (SSM) of molecular wires [1,4-methane benzene dithiol (Me-BDT)], and molecular insulator spacers [penthane 1-thiol (PT)] with different concentration ratios r of wires/spacers, wh...Transport studies; Molecular wires; Monolayer devices2005
187 Boehme, ChristophTriplet recombination at Pb centers and its implications for capture cross sectionsPulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance measurements are presented showing that Pb centers at the crystalline silicon (c-Sid) (111) to silicon dioxide sSiO2d interface can cause recombination of strongly coupled spin pairs in singlet and triplet configurations. The implication of these find...Silicon interfaces2005
188 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineUltrafast spectroscopy of excitons in semiconducting carbon nanotubesUltrafast relaxation dynamics of photoexcitations in semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes (S-NTs) were investigated using polarized pump-probe photomodulation (with 150 fs time resolution) and cw polarized photoluminescence (PL). Both annealed and unannealed NT films and D 2 0 solutions of ...Non-linear optical methods; Carbon nanotubes; ultrafast dynamics2005
189 Adler, Frederick R.; Liou, Theodore G.Use of lung transplantation survival models to refine patient selection in cystic fibrosisLung transplantation in cystic fibrosis may improve survival for patients with low 5-year predicted survival. Identifying characteristics that affect post-transplantation survival may improve patient selection and survival benefit.
