201 Chodosh, Hiram E.Fighting Corruption: Identifying Foundational Obstacles and New DirectionsExploring the conceptual and practical weaknesses of efforts to combat corruption is not enough. The identification of obstacles alone, however useful in itself, would be insufficiently responsive to the considerable challenge of anti-corruption reform. This article takes stock of foundational ob...2009-11-09
202 Martin, JimFourier series approximations and low pass filtering: facilitating learning of digital signal processing for biomechanics studentsFiltering raw biomechanical data to remove noise is a key first step that must be performed prior to further biomechanical analysis. Raw biomechanical data are usually filtered to remove noise above a specified cutoff frequency, a process known as "low pass filtering". The concept of frequency conte...2009-01-01
203 Chodosh, HiramFrom zero-sum conflicts to federalism: Iraqis offer an international community a road forwardThe future of federalism in Iraq is not only important to the peoples of that country who have struggled over so many decades for human rights and peace. It is an experiment of consequential interest to all of us, from North America to Europe, from Asia to the Middle East, to see if a society ridd...2009-07-09
204 Arlitsch, KenningFuture leaders of research libraries: what are they thinking?Summarizes the initial findings of survey research conducted with 175 future library leaders. Respondents were asked whether they are satisfied with their organizational culture and management, whether organizational culture limits thier effectiveness, and whether respondents are consideringleaving...Future leaders2009-04-06
205 Furse, Cynthia M.; Gore, Paul A.Gender differences in expressed interests in engineering-related fields over a 30-year spanThis study examines gender differences and historical trends of high school student interest in engineering based on ACT data on expressed interest compared with that of students' and ability. Changes have been observed in the interest in engineering fields over time most likely because of societal...2009-04-27
206 Gerig, GuidoGroup analysis of DTI fiber tract statistics with application to neurodevelopmentDiffusion tensor imaging (DTI) provides a unique source of information about the underlying tissue structure of brain white matter in vivo including both the geometry of major fiber bundles as well as quantitative information about tissue properties represented by derived tensor measures. This paper...Diffusion tensor imaging; Registration; Tract modeling; Neurodevelopment; Statistical modeling2009-01-01
207 Dawson, KyleHST discovery of a z=3.9 multiply imaged galaxy behind the complex cluster lens WARPS J1415.1+36 at z=1.026We report the discovery of a multiply lensed Lyα_x000B_ emitter at z=3.90 behind the massive galaxy cluster WARPS J1415.1+3612 at z=1.026. Images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using ACS reveal a complex lensing system that produces a prominent, highly magnified arc and a triplet of smal...2009-12-10
208 Dawson, KyleIntensive HST survey for z > 1 type Ia supernovae by targeting galaxy clustersWe present a new survey strategy to discover and study high redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). By targeting massive galaxy clusters at 0.9 < z < 1.5, we obtain a twofold improvement in the efficiency of finding SNe compared to an HST field survey and a facto...Cosmological parameters2009-11-01
209 Guiora, Amos N.International Law: Where Have We Been; Where Are We Going?International law, much like the law of nation-states, is in a state of flux. There is great unceraintly regarding its applicability in what I (and others) refer to as the post-9/11 world. Needless to say, not all agree with me that the world significantly changed that Tuesday morning. They suggest ...2009-07-13
210 Mallat, ChibliIraq at a Crossroads: Constitutional Review Committee Fills in Crucial GapsIraq is at a historical crossroads on the bumpy road to democracy. The Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) has all but completed the task assigned to it by the 2005 Constitution under the chairmanship of Sheikh Humam Hamoudi, the delegate of the largest parliamentary bloc, together with Dr....2009-11-19
211 Mallat, chibliIs Israel a Democracy? It's conditionalThis is a serious discussion to be undertaken on a world level on the type of system that Israel is, as serious indeed as the legal investigation carried out in the mid-1960s on the legal nature of the apartheid regime in South Africa. In the early 1960s, Yale Law Journal published a long, two-pa...2009-12-10
212 Chodosh, Hiram E.Mapping corruption: Why Words Make a DifferenceAs I observed two weeks ago in this column, the vernacular for corruption is rich, awareness increasingly acute and legal strategies increasingly aggressive; yet, accepted conceptions and definitions of corruption are far from universal. Why is this so? And why does it matter?2009-10-08
213 Hawkes, KristenMortality and fertility rates in humans and chimpanzees: how within-species variation complicates cross-species comparisonsA grandmother hypothesis may explain why humans evolved greater longevity while continuing to end female fertility at about the same age as do the other great apes. With that grandmother hypothesis in mind, we sought to compare age-specific mortality and fertility rates between humans and chimpanzee...2009-01-01
214 Mallat, ChibliObama's just war speech: Three questions for 'the Middle East in the United States'Congo, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Sin Kiang and Honduras, are hot spots that have turned or are likely to turn violent. But the Middle East is different in two ways. It is the longest continuously war-ridden area in modern history. And at least since September 11, it has become a domestic American issue...2009-12-24
215 Gerig, GuidoParticle based shape regression of open surfaces with applications to developmental neuroimagingShape regression promises to be an important tool to study the relationship between anatomy and underlying clinical or biological parameters, such as age. In this paper we propose a new method to building shape models that incorporates regression analysis in the process of optimizing correspondences...2009-01-01

217 Regehr, JohnPrecise garbage collection for CMagpie is a source-to-source transformation for C programs that enables precise garbage collection, where precise means that integers are not confused with pointers, and the liveness of a pointer is apparent at the source level. Precise GC is primarily useful for long-running programs and programs t...2009-01-01
218 Gerig, GuidoProbabilistic white matter fiber tracking using, particle filtering and von mises-fisher samplingStandard particle filtering technique have previously been applied to the problem of fiber tracking by Brun et al. (2002) and Bjornemo et al. (2002). However, these previous attempts have not utilised the full power of the technique, and as a result the fiber paths were tracked in a goal directed wa...Diffusion tensor MRI; Tractography; Probabilistic fiber tracking; Particle filtering; von Mises-Fisher sampling2009-01-01
219 Mallat, ChibliReconciliation in Iraq: Taking the Constitution SeriouslyReconciliation, which draws the necessary constitutional principles over which Iraqi parliamentarians are called on to vote, and the Iraqi citizens to endorse (or reject) in a national referendum, offers a far better way than any other type of reconciliation. An improved Iraqi constitution provid...2009-07-16

223 Gerig, GuidoSimulation of brain tumors in MR images for evaluation of segmentation efficacy.Obtaining validation data and comparison metrics for segmentation of magnetic resonance images (MRI) are difficult tasks due to the lack of reliable ground truth. This problem is even more evident for images presenting pathology, which can both alter tissue appearance through infiltration and cause ...Brain MRI; Segmentation validation; Tumor simulation; Simulation of tumor infiltration; Diffusion tensor imaging; Ground truth; Gold standard2009-01-01
224 Gerig, GuidoSpatiotemporal atlas estimation for developmental delay detection in longitudinal datasetsWe propose a new methodology to analyze the anatomical variability of a set of longitudinal data (population scanned at several ages). This method accounts not only for the usual 3D anatomical variability (geometry of structures), but also for possible changes in the dynamics of evolution of the str...2009-01-01
