Bernstein, Paul S. | Transformations of selected carotenoids in plasma, liver, and ocular tissues of humans and in nonprimate animal models | PURPOSE: To determine the stereochemistry of carotenoids in human ocular tissues in comparison with plasma and liver and to elucidate the possible transformations of dietary (3R,3'R,6'R)-lutein and (3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin in the eye. Similarly, to characterize the carotenoid profiles in the eye tissues,... | Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Stereoisomerism; Xanthophylls | 2002 |

Kriesel, John D.; Spruance, Spotswood L. | Treatment of herpes simplex labialis. | Recurrent herpes simplex labialis is associated with mild morbidity, but remains a significant problem for people with frequent and/or severe recurrences. Both topical and peroral episodic antiviral treatments of recurrences are modestly effective at reducing the duration of signs and symptoms. Rece... | Randomized Controlled Trials; Steroids; Drug Administration Routes | 2002 |

Coley, Phyllis D. | Tritrophic interactions in tropical versus temperate communities | The latitudinal gradient in diversity is one of the oldest (e.g., Wallace, 1878) and most obvious trends in ecology, and a wealth of literature is devoted to understanding both the causes and consequences of this gradient (Dobzhansky, 1950; also reviewed by Rohde, 1992). Given the enormous latitudi... | Tritrophic interactions; Trophic cascades; Herbivory; Tropical communities; Temperate communities | 2002 |

Couldwell, William T. | Tunneled lumbar drain | The authors report a simple and rapid procedure for tunneling a lumbar drain subcutaneously to facilitate chronic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. A standard lumbar puncture (LP) is performed with a large-bore Tuohy needle (14- to 16-gauge), the drainage catheter is advanced into the subarachnoid... | Lumbar drain; Fistula | 2002 |

Wen, Ming | UGT1A1*28 polymorphism as a determinant of irinotecan disposition and toxicity | The metabolism of irinotecan (CPT-11) involves sequential activation to SN-38 and detoxification to the pharmacologically inactive SN-38 glucuronide (SN-38G). We have previously demonstrated the role of UGT1A1 enzyme in the glucuronidation of SN-38 and a significant correlation between in vitro glu... | UGT1A1*28 polymorphism; Irinotecan disposition; Irinotecan toxicity; Glucuronidation; SN-38 | 2002 |

Christensen, Douglas A. | Using the cardiovascular system to illustrate fundamental laws and principles in a freshman course | Our Fundamentals of Bioengineering I course is organized around key physical and engineering laws and principles. A semester-long Major Project is assigned which integrates many of these principles by modeling the human systemic cardiovascular system, using both Matlab computer analysis and assembly... | Matlab | 2002 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Venomous gastropods: Conus, conoideans and other neogastropod families | A review of the present understanding of the mechanism of envenomation by cones is presented. The expanding applications of cone snail venom components in biomedical science are the degree to which the envenomation strategy may be shared by other venomous gastropod groups is explored based on a prel... | Venomous gastropods; Conoideans; Conotoxins; Envenomation; Toxoglossa | 2002 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Virulence management in biocontrol agents | Although biological control is founded upon the virulence of natural enemies to the targeted pests, there has been little effort to understand how this might change, let alone to manage it. Frank Fenner and colleagues can be credited with being the first (and last!) to monitor changes in virulence ... | Pathogens; Management; Natural | 2002 |

Smith, Grant D. | Viscoelastic properties of polybutadiene in the glassy regime from molecular dynamic simulations | A thorough understanding of the dynamic?mechanical properties of polymer melts and glasses is key to many, if not most, applications of polymers as well as to the processing of polymers. | Polymer melts; Polymer glasses; Molecular dynamic simulations | 2002 |

Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J. | Viscous behavior in a quasi-1D fractal cluster glass | The spin glass transition of a quasi-1D organic-based magnet ([MnTPP][TCNE]) is explored using both ac and dc measurements. A scaling analysis of the ac susceptibility shows a spin glass transition near 4 K, with a viscous decay of the thermoremanent magnetization recorded above 4 K.We propose an ex... | Transition; Magnet; Magnetization | 2002 |

Friedrich, Frances | Visual perception without awareness in a patient with posterior cortical atrophy: impaired explicit but not implicit processing of global information | A patient with progressive posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) was examined on several tests of visual cognition. The patient displayed multiple visual cognitive deficits, which included problems identifying degraded stimuli, attending to two or more stimuli simultaneously, recognizing faces, tracing s... | Posterior cortical atrophy; Global-local processing; Consciousness; Balint's syndrome; Simultanagnoisa | 2002 |

Hansen, Charles D. | Volume rendering multivariate data to visualize meteorological simulations: a case study | High resolution computational weather models are becoming increasing complex.

Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael; Yoshikami, Doju | α-Conotoxin GIC from Conus geographus, a novel peptide antagonist of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors | Many venomous organisms produce toxins that disrupt neuromuscular communication to paralyze their prey. One common class of such toxins comprises nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists (nAChRs). Thus, most toxins that act on nAChRs are targeted to the neuromuscular subtype. The toxin chara... | Conotoxins; Conotoxin GIC; Conus geographus; Peptide antagonists | 2002 |
