Battin, Margaret P. | Age-rationing and the just distribution of health care: Is there a duty to die? | The author analyzes the argument that a policy involving distributive justice in the allocation of scarce health care resources, based on the strategy of rational self interest maximation under a veil of ignorance (Rawls/Daniels), would result in an age rationing system of voluntary, socially encour... | Health care providers; Death; Euthanasia | 1987-01 |

Chamberlin, Ralph Vary | Agelenid spiders of the Genus Cicurina | The genus Cicurina was erected by Menge in 18(59 for the species jlranea cicurea Fabricius (1793). Since then, various species from North America have been added to this genus. Petrunkevitch, in his catalog of 1911, listed 11 species from this continent. Exline, in a review of the Cicurinas in 1936,... | 1940-06-29 | |

Adler, Frederick R. | Aggregation and stability in parasite-host models | This paper generalizes the two-dimensional approximation of models of macroparasites on homogeneous populations developed by Anderson & May (1978), focusing on how the dispersion (the variance to mean ratio) of the equilibrium distribution of parasites on hosts is related to the stability of the equ... | Aggregation; Stability; Host-parasite models | 1992-04 |

Battin, Margaret P. | Aging and ethics: philosophical problems in gerontology | Aging and Ethics addresses a crucial issue: In order to address the dilemmas aging poses concerning distributive justice in health care, don't we need to rethink both the personal and social significance of old age? | 1993 | |

Miller, Jan D. | Air sparged hydrocyclone for fine coal flotation | The cleaning of fine coal to achieve compliance specifications generally is a challenging problem for coal preparation engineers. Gravity separation techniques are limited with regard to capacity/ efficiency considerations, and the most promising process alternative seems to be flotation, the u... | Microbubble; Compliance; Bituminous | 1988 |

Wu, Yong-Shi | Algebraic and geometric aspects of generalized quantum dynamics | We briefly discuss some algebraic and geometric aspects of the generalized Poisson bracket and noncommutative phase space for generalized quantum dynamics, which are analogous to properties of the classical Poisson bracket and ordinary symplectic structure. | Quantum dynamics; Jacobi identity | 1994-06 |

Crow, Franklin C. | The aliasing problem in computer-synthesized shaded images | This paper describes work toward improving the quality of computer-synthesized shaded images. Current (practical) hidden-surface algorithms produce an image whose precision is strictly limited by the number of picture elements. Problems caused by this limitation are described and explained in the t... | aliasing problem; shaded images; hidden-surface algorithms | 1976 |

McDaniel, Susan | Alice in demographyland: how it looks from the other side of the looking glass | The challenges are many in reflecting on women in demography in Canada in the 1990's. On the one hand, so much is known about women in academia and the hurdles that still need to be overcome " institutionally and intellectually. So much more research exists in the area than it did only a decade ago.... | Women; Universities; Academic life | 1992 |

Firmage, Edwin B. | Allegiance and stewardship: holy war, just war, and the Mormon tradition in the nuclear age | The present escalation in nuclear weapons technology between the United States and the Soviet Union has progressed beyond the point where any increase in such weaponry necessarily results in increased national security. It has become, in fact, the ultimate act of idolatry, a reliance upon technology... | Nuclear weapons; Salvation; Peacemakers | 1983 |

Smith, Ken R. | Allied health manpower strategies: estimates of the potential gains from efficient task delegation | This study analyzes the potential impact of physician extenders on the productivity of primary care practices and considers the consequent implication for future health manpower requirements. A number of previous investigations have evaluated a variety of extenders in experimental settings. This stu... | 1973 | |

Lindstrom, Gary E. | Alpha-beta pruning on evolving game trees | The alpha-beta strategy is a widely used method for economizing on the size of game trees. Heretofore, its application has been limited to depth-first tree growth in recursive search functions. However, many modern game players use retentive (i.e. coroutine-based) control to achieve greater attentio... | Alpha-beta pruning; Game trees | 1979 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Altered enzymes in drug-resistant variants of mammalian tissue culture cells. | Two selective procedures are compared in an effort to isolate variants of mouse L cells containing structural gene mutations. Among the resulting variant cloned cell lines are found two types of alterations in theenzyme hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (EC 2.4.2.8.) (1): enzyme with altered ... | Drug Resistance; Azaguanine; Clone Cells; Hypoxanthines | 1973-11 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Alyawara plant use and optimal foraging theory | Various authors have remarked on the importance of seeds in the pre-European diet of central Australian Aborigines. The Alyawara, an Arandic-speaking group, were typical in this respect. They collected edible seeds from nearly half the eighty-five plant species in their traditional subsistence inven... | Australia; Aborigines; Foraging; Seeds | 1981 |

Mattis, Daniel C.; Sutherland, Bill | Ambiguities with the relativistic δ-function potential | In many cases of physical interest, the 6-function potential is a very convenient approximation to more structured, and more difficult, short-ranged potentials. In relativistic theories, its use is often mandated because only a mathematical point has a relativistically invariant shape. Neverthele... | Delta function; Energy states | 1981-09 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Aminoglycoside effects on voltage-sensitive calcium channels and neurotoxicity | To the Editor: Since ototoxicity and neuromuscular toxicity of aminoglycoside antibiotics are reversed by calcium, 1,2 and presynaptic events appear to be involved in aminoglycoside-induced neuromuscular blockade, 3,4 we suspected a role for voltage-sensitive calcium channels in aminoglycoside neuro... | Conotoxins | 1987 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Ehrenfreund, Eitan A. | Amplitude and phase modes in trans-polyacetylene: resonant Raman scattering and induced infrared activity | The resonant Raman scattering (RRS) from the three Ag modes of trans-polyacetylene and the charged-induced ir modes are analyzed with use of the amplitude- and phase-mode theories. It is shown that the observed phonon frequencies and the relative intensities of all modes obtained at various laser ex... | Induced infrared activity; Ag modes; Amplitude modes; Phase modes; Trans-polyacetylene | 1987-07 |

George, Lal | An abstract machine for parallel graph reduction | An abstract machine suitable for parallel graph reduction on a shared memory multiprocessor is described. Parallel programming is plagued with subtle race conditions resulting in deadlock or fatal system errors. Due to the nondeterministic nature of program execution the utilization of resources ma... | Parallel graph reduction; Abstract machines | 1989 |

George, Lal | An abstract machine for parallel graph reduction | An abstract machine for parallel graph reduction on a shared memory multiprocessor is described. This is intended primarily for normal order (lazy) evaluation of functional programs. It is absolutely essential in such a design to adapt an efficient sequential model since during execution under limit... | Parallel graph reduction | 1989 |

Subrahmanyam, P.A. | An algebraic formulation of seitz's weak conditions for self timed circuits | Two fairly intuitive conditions are given that serve to algebraically characterize Seitz's "weak conditions" for self timed circuits. It is shown that these two conditions embody the 12 temporal logic conditions (developed b y Owicki and Malachi) which are intended to express both the weak condition... | Seitz's weak conditions; Self-timed circuits | 1982 |

Edmunds, George F. Jr. | An annotated key to the nymphs of the families and subfamilies of mayflies | Attempts to provide keys to the families and subfamilies of Ephemeroptera nymphs in general entomology textbooks (i.e. Essig (1942), Chu (1949), and Brues, Melander and Carpenter (1954)) have been far from satisfactory. This difficulty exists largely because of the failure of specialists of the Ephe... | 1963-06 |
