Mathews, V. John | Blind identification of bilinear systems | Abstract-This paper is concerned with the blind identification of a class of bilinear systems excited by non-Gaussian higher order white noise. The matrix of coefficients of mixed input-output terms of the bilinear system model is assumed to be triangular in this work. Under the additional assumptio... | 2003 | |

Zimmer, Zachary | Family size and support of older adults in urban and rural China: current effects and future implications | China will experience rapid growth in the proportion and number of older people in its population in the near future as a consequence of an extraordinarily rapid decline in fertility over the past several decades. Total fertility rates were as high as 7.5 in the early 1950s, but have fallen to below... | Urban China; Rural China; Support; Older adults; One-child policy | 2003 |

Morse, Michael David | Dispersed fluorsecence spectroscopy of AINi, NiAu, and PtCu | Dispersed fluorescence studies of AlNi, NiAu, and PtCu have been performed, providing spectroscopic information about the ground and low-lying excited electronic states. Vibrational frequencies are reported for the ground X 2?5/2 state of all three molecules. In the case of AlNi, fluorescence to all... | 2003 | |

Schmidt, Meic H.; MacDonald, Joel D.; Jensen, Randy L.; Couldwell, William T. | Hypophysial transposition (hypophysopexy) for radiosurgical treatment of pituitary tumors involving the cavernous sinus | Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is performed with increasing frequency in the treatment of residual or recurrent pituitary adenomas. Its major associated risk in these cases of residual or recurrent pituitary tumor adjacent to normal functional pituitary gland is radiation exposure to the pituitary,... | Hypophysial transposition; Hypophysopexy; Pituitary tumors; Stereotactic radiosurgery; Pituitary transposition; Hypopituitarism | 2003 |

Goldberg, Robert A. | Don't know much about history | Most of us have heard of the "Greatest Generation," those who weathered the storms of the Great Depression and World War II. Many of us are Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1965. Other are part of the cynical and worldly Generation X-arriving between the mid '60s and the early '80s-raised in the ... | 2003 | |

Hawken, Leanne Sue | Preventing problem behavior : implementing a school-wide system of behavior support | This edition of the Utah Special Educator focuses on what works for schools. Almost a decade of research has provided evidence for the best method of preventing problem behavior in schools-implementing a school-wide system of behavior support. | 2003 | |

Bohs, Lynn A. | ITS phylogeny of Balsamorhiza and Wyethia (Asteraceae: Heliantheae) | The relationships among the species of Balsamorhiza and Wyethia (Asteraceae: Heliantheae) were examined using data from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. The ITS sequences were obtained from nine species of Balsamorhiza and 14 species of Wyethia as well as se... | Asteraceae; Balsamorhiza; Heliantheae; Internal transcribed spacer; ITS; Molecular phylogeny; Wvethi | 2003 |

Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J. | Anomalous magnetoresistance in high-temperature organic-based magnetic seminconducting V(TCNE)x films | Anomalous positive magnetoresistance (MR) in high temperature organic-based magnet V(TCNE)x (TCNE=tetracynoethylene) thin films is reported. MR increases linearly with applied magnetic field and shows a maximum at the ferrimagnetic ordering temperature. The suggested roles of oppositely spin pola... | Spin; Ferrimagnetic; Resistance | 2003 |

Couldwell, William T. | Pituitary apoplexy: diagnosis and management | Pituitary apoplexy, an uncommon complication of pituitary adenomas, was first decribed in 1898 when pearce Bailey reported hemorrhage into a pituitary adenoma in a 50 year old man with acromegaly. The patient presented with sudden onset of headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, oculomotor palsies, and v... | Pituitary Apoplexy; Pituitary adenoma; Transsphenoidal surgery | 2003 |

Lupton, John Mark | Recombination kinetics in wide gap electroluminescent conjugated polymers with on-chain emissive defects | We analyze the experimental dependence of temporally and spectrally resolved electroluminescence (EL) from polyfluorene-based light-emitting diodes on electric field and temperature. The blue band in the EL spectrum is caused by emission from the polymer backbone, while the low-energy green emission... | Recombination kinetics; On-chain emissive defects; Wide gap; Blue-emitting; Green-emitting; Excitons | 2003 |

Hawkes, Kristen | Human life histories: primate trade-offs, grandmothering socioecology, and the fossil record | Human life histories differ from those of other animals in several striking ways. Recently Smith and Tompkins (1995, p. 258) highlighted the combination of "slow" and "fast" features of human lives. Our period of juvenile dependency is unusually long, our age at first reproduction is late, and we h... | Meat; Maturity; Life Span | 2003 |

Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael | α-Conotoxins ImI and ImII: similar α7 nicotinic receptor antagonists act at different sites | A novel conotoxin, α-conotoxin ImII (α-CTx ImII), identified from Conus imperialis venom ducts, was chemically synthesized. A previously characterized C. imperialis conotoxin, α-conotoxin ImI (α-CTx ImI), is closely related; 9 of 12 amino acids are identical. Both α-CTx ImII and α-CTx ImI... | Conotoxins; Conotoxin ImI; Conotoxin ImII | 2003 |

Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T. | Anisotropic diffusion of surface normals for feature preserving surface reconstruction | For 3D surface reconstruction problems with noisy and incomplete range data measured from complex scenes with arbitrary topologies, a low-level representation, such as level set surfaces, is used. Such surface reconstruction is typically accomplished by minimizing a weighted sum of data-model discre... | 2003 | |

Kestle, John R. W. | Tracking resident work hours: available software is not yet ideal, but it's helpful | An ideal system would be completely passive and would allow more detailed tracking of activity inside the hospital. A new reality began July 1. We are all now responsible for tracking our residents' work hours and ensuring compliance with the new regulations mandated by the Accreditation Council fo... | Resident work hours; Tracking; TimeClock system | 2003 |

Potts, Wayne K. | Major histocompatibility complex heterozygote superiority during coinfection | Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play a critical role in immune recognition, and many alleles confer susceptibility to infectious and autoimmune diseases. How these deleterious alleles persist in populations is controversial. | Pathogen; MHC; Homozygotes | 2003 |

Miller, Jan D. | Thiocarbonate collectors in pyrite flotation ? fundamentals and applications | Recent results from electrochemical measurements demonstrate that trithiocarbonate (TTC) collectors are more readily oxidized to their corresponding dithiolates than the dithiocarbonate/xanthate (DTC) collectors. Based on the traditional analysis of collector adsorption, trithiocarbonates might then... | Trithiocarbonate; xanthate; nitrogen | 2003 |

Goller, Franz | Coordination and synergism between visual and vocal display in the brown-headed cowbirds | Sexually selected acoustic signaling is accompanied by visual displays in many birds. The motor integration of visual and vocal displays has not been extensively studied. Brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) "puff up" prior to song, move their wings during the song and conclude with a bow. The ... | Acoustic signaling; Wing display; Synergistic interaction | 2003 |
