76 Beckerle, Mary C.; Hoffman, Laura M.; Yoshigi, MasaakiGenetic ablation of zyxin causes Mena/VASP mislocalization, increased motility, and deficits in actin remodelingFocal adhesions are specialized regions of the cell surface where integrin receptors and associated proteins link the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton. To define the cellular role of the focal adhesion protein zyxin, we characterized the phenotype of fibroblasts in which the zyxin gene...Zyxin; Actin; Mena/VASP2006
77 Andreou, ChrisoulaGetting on in a varied worldAre greed and ruthlessness contrary to reason? Is immorality a form of irrationality? Much of contemporary ethical theory is a debate between Kantians, who argue that the dictates of morality are dictates of reason, and Humeans, who argue that reason is neutral between morality and immorality. T...Kantians; Humeans; Immorality2006
78 Couldwell, William T.; Schmidt, Richard H.; Salzman, Karen L.; Chin, Steven S.Glioblastoma multiforme of the pineal regionGlioblastoma multiforme (GBMs) tumors are exceedingly rare tumors in the pineal region. We present three cases in which patients presented with a pineal/posterior third ventricular region mass and review all the previously reported cases in the literature. Pineal region GBM seems to be a very aggre...Glioblastoma multiforme; Hydrocephalus; Leptomeningeal dissemination; Malignant glioma; Perinaud's syndrome; Pineal region; Spinal metastases2006

81 Hansen, Charles D.GPUFLIC: interactive and accurate dense visualization of unsteady flowsAbstract The paper presents an efficient and accurate implementation of Unsteady Flow LIC (UFLIC) on the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). We obtain the same, high quality texture representation of unsteady two-dimensional flows as the original, time-consuming method but leverage the features of today...2006
82 Coley, Phyllis D.Growth-defense trade-off and habitat specialization by plants in Amazonian forestsTropical forests include a diversity of habitats, which has led to specialization in plants. Near Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, nutrient-rich clay forests surround nutrient-poor white-sand forests, each harboring a unique composition of habitat specialist trees. We tested the hypothesis that t...Amazon; Ecological gradient; Growth-defense trade-off; Habitat specialization; Herbivory; Phenolics; Phylogenetic control; Rainforest; Reciprocal-transplant experiment; Terpenes; Tropical trees2006
83 Jameson, Kenneth P.Has institutionalism won the development debate?Institutionalism has again become central to development thinking, accompanied by an appreciation of the variety and complexity of institutional evolution. The result is not the 'old institutionalism' of Thorstein Veblen and Clarence Ayres or the 'new institutionalism' of the early Douglass North. ...Development; Institutionalism; Markets2006

85 Zhang, KangHeterozygous and homozygous mutations in PITX3 in a large Lebanese family with posterior polar cataracts and neurodevelopmental abnormalitiesPURPOSE: The PITX3 gene, which codes for a homeobox bicoidlike transcription factor is responsible for dominant cataract and anterior segment mesenchymal dysgenesis in humans. In the current study, a family with autosomal dominant posterior polar cataract (PPC) and a PITX3 mutation that cosegregates...Chromosomes, Human, Pair 10; Homozygote; Lod Score2006
86 Dawson, KyleHigh-voltage-compatible fully depleted CCDsWe describe charge-coupled device (CCD) development activities at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Back-illuminated CCDs fabricated on 200-300 fxm thick, fully depleted, high-resistivity silicon substrates are produced in partnership with a commercial CCD foundry. The CCDs are full...Large Synoptic Survey Telescope; X-ray emission; XMM22352006

88 Fogel, Alan DaleHikikomori in Japanese youth: some possible pathways for alleviating this problem from the perspective of dynamic systems theoryIn this paper, we will discuss the problem of hikikomori, in which an individual remains at home, typically isolated in the bedroom, with limited contact to the outside world. Hikikomori has been discussed primarily from a psychological perspective in Japan. In this paper, we take dynamic systems pe...Social withdrawal; Dynamic systems theory2006
89 Mathews, V. JohnHowling suppression in hearing aids using least-squares estimation and perceptually motivated gain controlABSTRACT Howling is a significant problem even in digital hearing aids equipped with adaptive feedback cancellation. Among the many causes of howling is the inability of the adaptive filter to track rapid changes in the feedback path. Many systems use howling detectors to detect the start of howlin...2006
90 O'Rourke, Dennis H.Hrdlič̌ka's Aleutian population-replacement hypothesis: a radiometric evaluationIn a 1945 monograph, Hrdlička argued that, at 1,000 BP, Paleo-Aleut people on Umnak Island were replaced by Neo-Aleut groups moving west along the island chain. His argument was based on cranial measurements of skeletal remains from Chaluka Midden and mummified remains from Kagamil and Ship Rock b...Population replacement; Paleo-Aleuts; Neo-Aleuts2006
91 Nebeker, Jonathan R.; Samore, Matthew HHypersensitivity cases associated with drug-eluting coronary stents: a review of available cases from the research on adverse drug events and reports (RADAR) projectOBJECTIVES: We undertook the review of all available cases of hypersensitivity reactions after placement of a drug-eluting stent (DES) and classified potential causes. BACKGROUND: Six months after the approval of the first DES, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported 50 hypersensitivity reac...Drug Hypersensitivity; Coronary Vessels2006
92 Myers, Chris J.ILP-based scheduling for asynchronous circuits in bundled-data implementationIn this paper, we propose a new scheduling method for asynchronous circuits in bundled-data implementation. The method is based on integer linear programming (ILP) which explores an optimum schedule under resource or time constraints. To schedule descriptions with many operations,our method approx...2006
93 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): on knowing the value of everything and the price of nothingAre libraries ever guilty of wasting time and money (neither of which is ours to waste) on practices simply because they're "valuable" without considering whether there's a reasonable balance between what they're worth and what they cost?Evaluation; Task management; Value; Cost2006
94 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): thinking about the value of staff timeWhen it comes to deciding how we and our staff should spend our time at work, it's becoming increasingly important that we look in a very hardheaded way at the value of our time and the value of our tasks. Our time is becoming increasingly expensive. Are we still spending time on processes that a...Staff time; Salary budget; Collections budget2006

97 Couldwell, William T.Increasing exposure of the petrous internal carotid artery for revascularization using the transzygomatic extended middle fossa approach: a cadaveric morphometric studyWhen internal carotid artery (ICA) sacrifice is planned in the management of difficult tumors or aneurysms at the cranial base, the petrous ICA may be a useful site for anastomosis for interpositional vascular bypass. However, exposure of the artery and performing an anastomosis in this region may...Revascularization; Internal carotid artery; Cranial base tumors; Giant aneurysms; Interpositional bypass; Surgical approach; Middle fossa2006
98 Couldwell, William T.Inflammatory pseudotumor of the cavernous sinus and skull baseInflammatory pseudotumor is a non-neoplastic process of unknown etiology characterized by a proliferation of connective tissue with an inflammatory infiltrate.

99 Symons, John DavidInfluence of folate on arterial permeability and stiffness in the absence or presence of hyperhomocysteinemiaElevation of plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.1 Worldwide, the most common cause of mild hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is deficiency of folate.2,3 Some4-8 but not all9,10 studies sugg...Cystathionine B-synthase; Carotid artery; Aorta; Cardiovascular risk factors; Folate; Hyperhomocysteinemia; Arterial permeability; Arterial stiffness2006
100 Morse, Michael DavidInfrared diode laser spectroscopy of jet-cooled NiCO, Ni(CO)?(??CO), and NI(CO)?(c??O)Gas phase infrared spectroscopic investigations of the CO vibration of jet-cooled NiCO, Ni(CO)3(13CO), and Ni(CO)3(C18O) are reported.
