177 Brown, Barbara B.Crime, new housing, and housing incivilities in a first-ring suburb: multilevel relationships across timeConcepts deriving from criminology, housing policy, and environmental psychology are integrated to test two ways that housing conditions could relate to crime in a declining first-ring suburb of Salt Lake City. For existing housing, we use a model to test whether housing incivilities, such as litte...Community development; Community revitalization; Crime; Urban policy2004
178 Maloney, Thomas N.Personnel policy, costs of experimentation, and racial inequality in the Pre-World War II NorthBetween 1910 and 1940, the black population of the northern United States nearly tripled, rising from just over I million to more than 2.7 million, signaling the start of the "Great Migration" of African-Americans out of the South. As black workers entered the North, they sought positions in new sec...Race bias; Personnel policies; African Americans; Employment opportunities1999
179 Pershing, David W.Design and construction of a rotary kiln simulator for use in studying the incineration of hazardous wasteRotary kilns have been used extensively in the cement industry to calcine limestone. In the past few years, the technology has been viewed as a possible option for the incineration of hazardous waste materials, especially for the disposal of solid wastes and the cleanup of contaminated soils and tra...Rotary kilns; Hazardous waste; Waste burning1989-08
180 Ferguson, Sarah HargusAcross-talker effects on non-native listeners' vowel perecption in noiseThis study explored how across-talker differences influence non-native vowel perception. American English (AE) and Korean listeners were presented with recordings of 10 AE vowels in /bVd/ context. The stimuli were mixed with noise and presented for identification in a 10-alternative forced-choice t...2010
181 Shapiro, Michael D.Turnover of sex chromosomes in the stickleback fishes (Gastrosteidae)Diverse sex-chromosome systems are found in vertebrates, particularly in teleost fishes, where different systems can be found in closely related species. Several mechanisms have been proposed for the rapid turnover of sex chromosomes, including the transposition of an existing sex-determination gen...Sex determination; Gasterosteus aculeatus; Gasterosteus wheatlandi; Pungitius pungitius; Culaea inconstans; Apeltes quadracus; Gasterosteidae2009-02-20
182 Sanchez, Thomas W.Growth and change Florida style: 1970 to 2000In response to development patterns leading to what may be termed "urban sprawl," several local, regional, and state governments in the United States have embarked on growth management or urban containment strategies. These strategies typically aim to synchronize key public facilities with urban dev...2007-01-01
183 Bartholomew, Keith A.Integrating land use issues into transportation planning: scenario planning, a summary reportOver the past 15 years, land use-transportation scenario planning has become an increasingly common technique in regional and sub-regional planning processes. This study investigates the breadth of the technique and some of the themes that are emerging by reviewing 80 scenario planning projects from...Architecture; Transportation, Planning; Land use, Planning2005-09-24
184 Sanchez, Thomas W.Debunking the exurban myth: a comparison of suburban householdsAs American cities spill over their traditional boundaries into 'exurbia', the debate about whether this new growth is substantively different from what preceded is an important one. We disagree with the idea that the counterurbanization the United States is experiencing represents a dramatic bre...Demographics; Location; Suburban1999
185 Ehleringer, James R.; Belnap, JayneSensitivity of the Colorado plateau to change: climate, ecosystems, and societyThe Colorado Plateau is located in the interior, dry end of two moisture trajectories coming from opposite directions, which have made this region a target for unusual climate fluctuations. A multidecadal drought event some 850 years ago may have eliminated maize cultivation by the first human settl...Colorado Plateau; Biological crust; Climate change; Megadrought; Ranching; Dry crop productivity; Extractive industries; Pueblo Indians; Fremont culture2008

188 Cloud, Joann L.; Meyer, Jay J.; Pounder, June I.; Woods, Gail L.Mycobacterium arupense sp. nov., a novel moderately growing nonchromogenic bacterium isolated from clinical specimensThis author manuscript discusses how several isolates of Mycobacterium species related to the M. terrae complex have been isolated from clinical samples. In the clinical microbiology laboratory, partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing (approximate first 500 base pairs) is often used to identify Mycobacteri...Mycobacterium arupense; Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum; Mycobacterium terrae; Mycobacterium triviale; MCRO 62005-11-22
189 Mastrangelo, Carlos H.Personal navigation via shoe mounted inertial measurement unitsWe are developing a personal micronavigation system that uses high-resolution gait-corrected inertial measurement units. The goal of this project is to develop a navigation system that use secondary inertial variables, such as velocity, to enable long-term precise navigation in the absence of Global...2010
190 Kestle, John R. W.; Brockmeyer, Douglas LeeEvaluation of the necessity of postoperative imaging after craniosynostosis surgeryObject. Childhood radiation exposure increases the lifetime risk of cancer from an estimated 0.07 to 0.35%. Neurological evaluation of patients after cranial vault reconstruction for synostosis repair is often complicated by pain medication, sedation, intubation, swelling, and dressings; therefore c...Computed tomography; Cranial vault reconstruction; Pediatric neurosurgery; Radiation dose; Postoperative imaging2007
191 Varner, Michael W.hPL: physiologic and pathophysiologic observations.Serum human placental lactogen (hPL) levels were studied in 806 women in late pregnancy. The hPL levels were positively correlated with birth weight but were unrelated to maternal age, parity, socioeconomic status, or the sex of the newborn. The hPL levels peaked at 37 weeks' gestation and then decl...hPL; Pregnancy Complications; Pregnancy, Multiple; Infant, Newborn; Birth Weight1979-08
