1 Mallat, Chibli'A conversation to be had' on war and law: Obama's Nobel speechEven more than in the Cairo address, the Nobel speech will mark the Obama legacy. The subject is pithy, combining defense, foreign affairs and international law on the most difficult subject that human kind has ever addressed: war. Thanks to the entreaty of the Nobel committee, which forced the US p...2009-12-24
2 Mallon, Ronald'Race': normative, not metaphysical or semanticIn recent years, there has been a flurry of work on the metaphysics of race. While it is now widely accepted that races do not share robust, biobehavioral essences, opinions differ over what, if anything, race is. Recent work has been divided between three apparently quite different answers. A varie...2006
3 Furse, Cynthia M.13 crazy, notorious things to do in an EM classThe average attention span of an adult human is 12-20 minutes. Our lectures are 50-80 minutes. Attention Span Math reminds us to take a break now and then, and to bring the class back to life by bringing some life to the class. Many students learn things better if they can see and touch them, so thi...Attention span; Fun2005-06
4 Johnston, Susan S.20 ways to maximize the use of single switch technology with students with severe disabilitesStudents with severe physical and/or cognitive disabilities may find it very difficult to engage in activities in their environment. Single switch technology can provide the means for adapting activities to meet student's diverse needs (Brett, 1995). Single switches can be used as tools for promoti...Single switch; Severe disabilities; Assistive technology; Disabled students2006
5 Gooch, Amy A.; Gooch, Bruce; Willemsen, Peter; Kniss, Joe; Riesenfeld, Richard F.; Shirley, Peter S.3D Line textures and the visualization of confidence in ArchitectureThis work introduces a technique for interactive walkthroughs of non-photorealistically rendered (NPR) scenes using 3D line primitives to define architectural features of the model, as well as indicate textural qualities. Line primitives are not typically used in this manner in favor of texture ma...Presentation graphics; Interactive walkthroughs2007
6 Furse, Cynthia M.3D ray-tracing for intra-vehicle environmentsIn order to develop a wireless communication system that could be used for all types of aircraft sensor networks, the severe multipath channel found inside aircrafts must be well defined. This multipath channel is much more complex than usual outdoor/indoor channels and thus far, research has been l...2009

10 Morse, Michael David???X??+ band systems of jet-cooled ScCo and YCoRotationally resolved resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI) spectra of ScCo and YCo are reported. The measured spectra reveal that these molecules possess ground electronic states of 1?+ symmetry, as previously found in the isoelectronic Cr2 and CrMo molecules. The ground state rotational constant...2010
11 Olivera, Baldomero M.?O-Conotoxins inhibit NaV channels by interfering with their voltage sensors in domain-2The ?O-conotoxins MrVIA and MrVIB are 31-residue peptides from Conus marmoreus, belonging to the O-superfamily of conotoxins with three disulfide bridges. They have attracted attention because they are inhibitors of tetrodotoxin-insensitive voltage-gated sodium channels (NaV1.8) and could therefore ...2007
12 Miller, Joel Steven[Cyanil]2 2- dimers possess long, two-electron ten-center (2e-/10c) multicenter bondingA long, two-electron ten-center (2e-/10c) [8 carbon plus 2 oxygen] bond in diamagnetic dimers of radical-anion tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinoneide (cyanil, [Q]2 2-, is described by B2LYP and CASSCF92,2)/MCQDPT calculations.Carbon bonds; Cyanil2008
13 Miller, Joel Steven[MeNC5H5]2[TCNE]2 (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene). Single crystal X-ray and neutron diffraction characterization of an exceptionally long 2.8 Å C-C bondThe reaction of N-methylpyridinium iodide, Mepy+I-, and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) forms [Mepy]2[TCNE]2, which possesses [TCNE]2 2' with an intradimer C-C bond distance of 2.806(1)Å at 50 K from X-ray diffraction, and 2.801(4)Å at 50 K from neutron diffraction. In the IR it exhibits nChN absorption...C-C bond; Tetracyanoethylene; Neutron diffraction; X-ray diffraction; Multicenter C-C bonding2009
14 Khan, Faisal HabibA 5 kW Bi-directional multilevel modular DC-DC converter (MMCCC) featuring built in power management for fuel cell and hybrid electric automobilesAbstract- A new capacitor clamped modular dc-dc converter with bi-directional power handling capability will be presented in this paper. This inductor-free design is modular, and it is possible to integrate multiple loads and sources simultaneously in the converter. Moreover, this 5 kW dc-dc convert...2007
15 Sekercioglu, CaganA birders quide to TurkeyAs I write, it is early December and the woods outside my window lay dusted with snow like a holiday card by Currier and Ives. A minute ago, I looked up and caught a glimpse of an adult Cooper's Hawk dashing swiftly through the trees. It swooped up, landed on a branch, then briefly shook its tail an...2006-01-01
16 Brunvand, Erik L.A case for increased operating system support in chip multi-processorsWe identify the operating system as one area where a novel architecture could significantly improve on current chip multi-processor designs, allowing increased performance and improved power efficiency. We first show that the operating system contributes a non-trivial overhead to even the most com...2005

18 Carter, JohnA collective approach to harness idle resourcesWe propose a collective approach for harnessing the idle resources (cpu, storage, and bandwidth) of nodes (e.g., home desktops) distributed across the Internet. Instead of a purely peer-to-peer (P2P) approach, we organize participating nodes to act collectively using collective managers (CMs). Pa...Idle resources; Computer nodes2008
19 Furse, Cynthia M.A comparative study on two types of transparent patch antennasProperties of optically transparent patch antennas designed from meshed conductor and transparent conductive films are studied and compared. It is shown that at S band, meshed antenna provides the best antenna efficiency for the highest transparency. It is practical to design a 90% transparent mesh...2011
