51 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.Organic and molecular ferromagnetsUnlike common ferromagnets such as iron, nickel, cobalt or even cobalt-samarium and Nb-Fe-B, it is extremely rare for a discrete molecule, especially an organic or polymeric material, to have cooperative magnetic interactions. Since the mid-1980s a few such materials have been prepared which demon...Magnetic; Magnetization; Temperature1992
52 Morse, Michael DavidSpectrosopic studies of jet-cooled NiAu and PtCuSpectroscopic investigations of NiAu and PtCu have revealed that both molecules possess 2?5/2 ground electronic states, and are in this respect analogous to the isovalent molecule NiCu. The ground-state bond lengths (r?) have been measured as 2.351?0.001 ? and 2.335?0.001 ? for NiAu and PtCu, respe...1992
53 Morse, Michael DavidPredissociation lifetimes of vibrational levels of the excited ? B? (Ka=O) electronic states of Cd ? H? and Cd ? D? complexesThe experimental rates of predissociation of vibrational levels of the ?B? (K'a-O) excited states of the Cd ? HZ and Cd ? D2 complexes are shown to be consistent with both semiclassical and quantum-mechanical pseudodiatomic theoretical treatments of the process. The ?B? pseudodiatomic potential was ...1992
54 Sobh, Tarek M.; Henderson, Thomas C.A dynamic framwork for intelligent inspectionCAD Computer Aided Design typically involves the design manufacture and inspection of a me chanical part.

55 Ailion, David CharlesThermal fluctuations and NMR spectra of incommensurate systemsIn the presence of thermal fluctuations the incommensurate NMR line shape is a convolution of a static inhomogeneous with a dynamic homogeneous line shape which can be determined separately by 2D NMR. The form of the dynamic line shape and its variation over the inhomogeneous NMR spectrum permit a ...Thermal fluctuations; NMR; Incommensurate systems; Line shape1992
56 Adler, Frederick R.Information collection and spread by networks of patrolling antsTo study how a social group, such as an ant colony, monitors events occurring throughout its territory, we present a model of a network of patrolling ants engaged in information collection and dissemination. In this network, individuals follow independent paths through a region and can exchange sign...Patrolling network; ant colony; information-gathering1992
57 Kessler, Robert R.Using utilization profiles in allocation and partitioning for multiprocessor systemsThe problems of multiprocessor partitioning and program allocation are interdependent and critical to the performance of multiprocessor systems. Minimizing resource partitions for parallel programs on partitionable multiprocessors facilitates greater processor utilization and throughput. The proces...utilization profiles; multiprocessor partitioning; program allocation1992

59 Mathews, V. JohnMultiplication free vector quantization using the L 1 distortion measure and its variantsVector quantization is a very powerful technique for data compression and consequently, it has attracted a lot for attention lately. One major drawback associated with this approach is its extreme computational complexity. This paper fist considers vector quantization that uses the L1 distortion mea...1992
60 The programming language jigsaw: mixins, modularity and multiple in heritanceThis dissertation provides a framework for modularity in programming languages. In this framework known as Jigsaw, inheritance is understood to be an essential linguistic mechanism for module manipulation. In Jigsaw, the roles of classes in existing languages are "unbundled," by providing a suit...Jigsaw framework; Mixins1992

62 McDaniel, SusanWomen and family in the later years: findings from the 1990 general social surveyAging is a feminist issue. Women on average live longer than men, live longer in disability or with chronic health problems, more often experience the deaths of spouse and friends, more often live alone in their later years, are significantly poorer than men of the same age, and more often institu...Middle age; Old age; Family life; Women1992
63 Myers, Chris J.Direct synthesis of timed asynchronous circuitsThis paper presents a new method to synthesize timed asynchronous circuits directly from the specification without generating a state graph. Our synthesis procedure begins with a deterministic signal transition graph specification to which timing constraints can be added. First, a timing analysis ex...1992
64 Cohen, ElaineSecond order surface analysis using hybrid symbolic and numeric operatorsResults from analyzing the curvature of a surface can be used to improve the implementation, efficiency, and effectiveness of manufacturing and visualization of sculptured surfaces. In this paper, we develop a robust method using hybrid symbolic and numeric operators to create trimmed surfaces each...Surface analysis; Hybrid symbolic operators; Numeric operators1992
65 Silverman, Randall H.Pamphlet binders and their use in research librariesBy definition, research libraries have a commitment to preserving pamphlets as well as all print and non-print media they collect. A discussion of the preservation requirements for pamphlets is useful for their survival, and pamphlet binders are an important tool in preparing these often ephemeral ...Pamphlets; Preservation; Binders1992
66 Bruderlin, BeatRobust boolean set operations for manifold solids bounded by planar and natural quadric surfacesThis paper describes our latest effort in robust solid modeling. An algorithm for set operations on solids bounded by planar and natural quadric surfaces, that handles all geometrically degenerate cases robustly, is described. We identify as the main reason for the lack of robustness in geometric m...Robust solid modeling; Robust boolean set operations; Manifold solids1992
67 Couldwell, William T.Malignant glioma-derived soluble factors regulate proliferation of normal adult human astrocytesMalignant gliomas are characteristically surrounded by marked gliosis. To assess whether glioma-derived products contribute to the proliferation of astrocytes, a feature of the gliosis response, we evaluated the influence of culture supernatants from malignant human glioma lines and tumor cyst fluid...Astrocyte; Glioma; Gliosis; Proliferation; Soluble factors1992
68 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshDynamic reordering of high latency transactions in time-warp simulation using a modified micropipelineTime warp based simulation of discrete-event systems is an efficient way to overcome the synchronization overhead during distributed simulation.
