102 Wambaugh, Julie L.Apraxia of speech: perceptual analysis of trisyllabic word productions across repeated sampling occasionsEarly apraxia of speech (AOS) research has characterized errors as being variable, resulting in a number of different error types being produced on repeated productions of the same stimuli. Conversely, recent research has uncovered greater consistency in errors, but there are limited data examining ...2011-01-01
103 Miller, Jan D.Understanding the role of ion interactions in soluble salt flotationThere is anecdotal evidence for the significant effects of salt ions on the flotation separation of minerals using process water of high salt content. Examples include flotation of soluble salt minerals such as potash, trona and borax in brine solutions. Although some of the effects are expected, so...2011-01-01
104 Regehr, JohnARMor: fully verified software fault isolationWe have designed and implemented ARMor, a system that uses software fault isolation (SFI) to sandbox application code running on small embedded processors. Sandboxing can be used to protect components such as the RTOS and critical control loops from other, less-trusted components. ARMor guarantees m...2011-01-01

107 Miller, Jan D.Particle interactions in kaolinite suspensions and corresponding aggregate structuresThe surface charge densities of the silica face surface and the alumina face surface of kaolinite 13 particles, recently determined from surface force measurements using atomic force microscopy, 14 show a distinct dependence on the pH of the system. The silica face was found to be negatively 15 char...2011-01-01
108 Miller, Jan D.Particle damage and exposure analysis in HPGR crushing of selected copper ores for column leachingIn mining operations, jaw and gyratory crushers are generally used for primary crushing, and cone crushers are used for secondary crushing. During the past decade, however, High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) are being considered due to potential processing benefits such as energy savings, improved ...2011-01-01
109 Miller, Jan D.Molecular dynamics simulations of metal-cyanide complexes: fundamental considerations in gold hydrometallurgyThis study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) in order to evaluate the hydration state and the characteristics of metal-cyanide anions in aqueous solutions. Cyanide complexes of gold, silver, zinc, mercury, and copper were examined. Tetracyano anions of zinc and mercury showed the highest...2011-01-01
110 Miller, Jan D.Modulated Cr(III) oxidation in KOH solutions at a gold electrode: competition between disproportionation and stepwise electron transferThe electrochemical oxidation of aqueous Cr(III) was examined using cyclic voltammetry with a polycrystalline Au electrode in KOH solutions of varying pH and Cr(III) concentration. The mechanism and kinetics for the oxidation of Cr(III) is a quasi-reversible diffusion-controlled reaction and is larg...2011-01-01
111 Simpson, Jamesina J.On the possibility of high-level transient coronal mass ejection-induced ionospheric current coupling to electric power grids[1] Short-time (<10 s) ionospheric current fluctuations are hypothesized to occur due to a coronal mass ejection that can induce high‐level transient voltages on long overhead power transmission lines. This hypothesis is first supported by reviewing published literature and recent magnetometer mea...2011-01-01
112 Sekercioglu, CaganPromoting community-based bird monitoring in the tropics: conservation, research, environmental education, capacity-building, and local incomesLong-term, locally-based biodiversity monitoring programs are essential for understanding and mitigating the effects of global change on tropical biodiversity while providing capacity-building, environmental education, and public outreach. However, these programs are lacking in most tropical countri...2011-01-01
113 Furse, Cynthia M.Reflectometry for structural health monitoringAging wiring and structural cables in buildings, aircraft and transportation systems, consumer products, industrial machinery, etc. are among the most significant potential causes of catastrophic failure and maintenance cost in these structures. Smart wire health monitoring can therefore have a subs...2011-01-01
114 Gerig, GuidoSpatial intensity prior correction for tissue segmentation in the developing human brainThe degree of white matter (WM) myelination is rather inhomogeneous across the brain. As a consequence, white matter appears differently across the cortical lobes in MR images acquired during early postnatal development. At 1 year old specifically, the gray/white matter contrast of MR images in pref...2011-01-01
115 Gerig, GuidoSynergy of image analysis for animal and human neuroimaging supports translational research on drug abuseThe use of structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in animal models of neurophysiology is of increasing interest to the neuroscience community. In this work, we present our approach to create optimal translational studies that include both animal and human neu...2011-01-01

118 Hawkes, KristenHuman actuarial aging increases faster when background death rates are lower: a consequence of differential heterogeneity?Many analyses of human populations have found that age-specific mortality rates increase faster across most of adulthood when overall mortality levels decline. This contradicts the relationship often expected from Williams' classic hypothesis about the effects of natural selection on the evolution o...Frailty; Gompertz; Mortality rate doubling times; Ricklefs' omega; Strehler-Mildvan correlations; Weibull2011-01-01
