Sperry, John S. | Cavitation fatigue - the weakening of cavitation resistance of xylem and its reversibility | Xylem function is essential for the growth and survival of higher land plants. Xylem must not only be efficient under favorable conditions to facilitate high rates of stomatal conductance and carbon uptake, but it should also remain functional under drought conditions, when water potential (Ψ) dro... | Cavitation fatigue; Drought; Pit membrane | 2003 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Conus peptides: biodiversity-based discovery and exogenomics | The venoms of the ~700 species of predatory cone snails (genus Conus) are being systematically characterized. Each Conus species contains 100-200 small, highly structured venom peptides (colloquially known as conotoxins), which are synthesized and secreted in a venom duct (for overviews, see Refs. ... | Conotoxins; Conus peptides; Exogenomics | 2006 |

Humphrey, Alan Parker; Derrick, Christopher Glade; Gopalakrishnan, Ganesh | GEM: graphical explorer for MPI programs | Formal dynamic verification can complement MPI program testing by detecting hard-to-find concurrency bugs. In previous work, we described our dynamic verifier called ISP that can parsimoniously search the execution space of an MPI program while detecting important classes of bugs. One major limit... | GEM; Graphical explorer; MPI programs; Dynamic verification; Concurrency bugs | 2009 |

Couldwell, William T. | Metastatic melanoma to the pituitary gland | Metastasis to the pituitary gland is unusual, and occurs most often in patients with carcinomas of the breast or lung. Despite its propensity for spread to the brain, metastatic melanoma has rarely been described within the sella. Methods: We report two cases of malignant melanoma pathologically co... | | 2007 |

Farmer, Colleen G. | Unidirectional pulmonary airflow patterns in the savannah monitor lizard | The unidirectional airflow patterns in the lungs of birds have long been considered a unique and specialized trait associated with the oxygen demands of flying, their endothermic metabolism1 and unusual pulmonary architecture2,3. However, the discovery of similar flow patterns in the lungs of crocod... | | 2014-02-20 |

Sperry, John S. | Winter xylem embolism and spring recovery in Betula cordifolia, Fagus grandifolia, Abies balsamea, and Picea rubens | Xylem embolism was monitored from mid-winter to mid-summer in four co-occurring species: Betula cordifolia (Reg.) Fern., Fagus grandifolia Ehrh., Abies balsamea (L.) Mill., Picea rubens Sarg. The study site was a west-facing slope in the northern Green Mountains of Vermont, U.S.A.; Betula and conife... | Conductivity; Hydraulic; Trees | 1993 |

Digre, Kathleen B. | Not so benign intracranial hypertension. | Despite many controversies, intracranial hypertension due to use of doxycycline does occur. Practitioners prescribing the tetracyclic antibiotics should be aware of the syndrome of increased intracranial pressure, and pay particular attention to the ocular fundus for papilloedema.

Stevens, Kenneth | Algorithms for MIS vector generation and pruning | Ignoring the effect of simultaneous switching for logic gates causes silicon failures for high performance microprocessor designs. The main reason to omit this effect is the run time penalty and potential over-conservatism. Run times are directly proportional to the vector sizes. Efficient algorithm... | | 2006 |

Henderson, Thomas C.; Sikorski, Christopher | Computational sensor networks | We propose Computational Sensor Networks as a methodology to exploit models of physical phenomena in order to better understand the structure of the sensor network. To do so, it is necessary to relate changes in the sensed variables (e.g., temperature) to the aspect of interest in the sensor netw... | Computational sensor networks | 2007 |

Morse, Michael David | Dispersed fluorsecence spectroscopy of jet-cooled AgAu and Pt? | Dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to study jet-cooled AgAu and Pt2 . Fluorescence resulting from the excitation of five bands of the A?X 1?+ system of AgAu was dispersed, and 51 measured ground state vibrational levels were fit to provide ground state vibrational constants of ?"e=198... | | 2001 |

Battin, Margaret P. | Legal physician-assisted dying in Oregon and the Netherlands: evidence concerning the impact on patients in "vulnerable" groups | If physician-assisted suicide (PAS) and/or voluntary active euthanasia were legalised, would this disproportionately affect people in ‘‘vulnerable'' groups? Although principles of patient autonomy and the right to avoid suffering and pain may offer support for these practices, concerns about the... | Vulnerable groups; Oregon; Netherlands | 2007-10-01 |

Bastiani, Michael | Loss of axons in the cat optic nerve following fetal unilateral enucleation: an electron microscopic analysis | Between the 48th day of gestation (E-48) and maturity, the number of axons in the cat optic nerve is reduced by approximately 50%. On the basis of an electron microscopic assay, the axon population of the E-48 nerve was estimated to be 328,000. In contrast, estimates from two normal adults were 159,... | Ganglion cell death; Retinofugal projection; Retinal ganglion cell axons | 1983 |

Bohs, Lynn A. | Cyphomandra (Solanaceae) | Unusual ecological aspects of Cyphomandra include its pollination syndrome and herbivore relationships. Male euglossine bees may be important pollinators of Cyphomandra flowers, and the primary attractants may not be pollen, but odor substances secreted by the anther connectives.
