176 Mallat, ChibliSpecial Dossier on the Sabra and Shatila Case in BelgiumThis dossier collects key legal documents in the Sharon affair. Being a legal dossier, the collection contains two sets of documents. The first set traces the evolution of Belgium's 1993/1999 universal jurisdiction law by making available in English, in several cases for the first time, translati...2005
177 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineSpin and magnetic field effects in organic semiconductor devicesThe authors describe three spin and magnetic field effects in organic semiconductor devices: First, injection, transport and detection of spin-polarised carriers using an organic semiconductor as the spacer layer in a spin-valve structure, yielding low-temperature giant magnetoresistance effects as...Spin effects; Magnetic field effects; MR; OLED; Organic light-emitting diode; Spin-polarised carriers; Spin-dependent exciton formation; Electroluminescent efficiency; pi-conjugated organic semicondutors; OSEC2005
178 Normann, Richard A.Statistical encoding model for a primary motor cortical brain-computer interfaceA number of studies of the motor system suggest that the majority of primary motor cortical neurons represent simple movement-related kinematic and dynamic quantities in their time-varying activity patterns. An example of such an encoding relationship is the cosine tuning of firing rate with respect...Discrete Distribution; LN Model; Neural Decoding; Neuroprosthetics; Sequential Monte-Carlo Filter2005
179 Hansen, Charles D.; Tasdizen, TolgaStatistically quantitative volume visualizationVisualization users are increasingly in need of techniques for assessing quantitative uncertainty and error in the images produced. Statistical segmentation algorithms compute these quantitative results, yet volume rendering tools typically produce only qualitative imagery via transfer function-base...Volume visualization; Uncertainty; Classification; Risk analysis2005

181 Malloy, Thomas E.Steps to an ecology of emergenceTo begin to take steps to a mental ecology of emergence we first establish two fundamental assumptions from the methodology of transformational grammar-the centrality of human judgment based on direct experience and the proposition that the systematic nature of human behavior is algorithmically dri...Emergence; Perceptual Categories; Dynamic Constancy; Hierarchies; Boolean Models; Epistemology; Knowledge; Bateson; Kauffman2005
182 Fife, Paul C.; McMurtry, PatrickStress gradient balance layers and scale hierarchies in wall-bounded turbulent flowsSteady Couette and pressure-driven turbulent channel flows have large regions in which the gradients of the viscous and Reynolds stresses are approximately in balance (stress gradient balance regions). In the case of Couette flow, this region occupies the entire channel. Moreover, the relevant featu...Couette flow; Stress gradient balance; Reynolds stress; Turbulent channel flow2005
183 Schmidt, Meic H.Surgical technique and results of endoscopic anterior spinal canal decompressionObject. Decompression of the spinal canal in the management of thoracolumbar trauma is controversial, but many authors have advocated decompression in patients with severe canal compromise and neurological deficits. Anterior decompression, corpectomy, and fusion have been shown to be more reliable f...Anterior approach; Anterior decompression; Spinal trauma; Endoscopy2005
184 Goller, FranzSynthesizing bird songIn this work we present an electronic syrinx: an analogical integrator of the equations describing a model for sound production by oscine birds. The model depends on time varying parameters with clear biological interpretation: the air sac pressure and the tension of ventral syringeal muscles. We te...Syrinx; Tension; Transducer2005
185 Voth, Gregory AlanSystematic coarse-graining of nanoparticle interactions in molecular dynamics simulationA recently developed multiscale coarse-graining procedure [Izvekov, S.; Voth, G. A. J. Phys. Chem. B 2005, 109, 2469] is extended to derive coarse-grained models for nanoparticles. The methodology is applied to C60 and to carbonaceous nanoparticles produced in combustion environments. The coarse-gra...Systematic coarse-graining; Multiscale coarse-graining2005
186 Schmidt, Meic H.Thoracoscopic spine surgery for decompression and stabilization of the anterolateral thoracolumbar spineThe anterior thoracolumbar spine can be exposed via a variety of approaches. Historically, open anterolateral or posterolateral approaches have been used to gain access to the anterior thoracolumbar spinal column. Although the exposure is excellent, open approaches are associated with significant pa...Endoscopic spinal surgery; Thoracic spine; Lumbar spine; Thoracoscopic spinal instrumentation2005
187 Couldwell, William T.Thrombosed basilar apex aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalusAneurysms presenting as third ventricular masses are uncommon; most are giant aneurysms arising from the basilar apex. We present a case of a thrombosed basilar apex aneurysm presenting as a third ventricular mass and hydrocephalus in a 55-year-old man. The case is unique in the literature as the an...Basilar apex aneurysm; Ventricular mass; Third ventriculostomy2005
188 Schmidt, Meic H.Titanium cage-assisted polymethylmethacrylate reconstruction for cervical spinal metastasisReconstruction and stabilization of the cervical spine after vertebrectomy is an important goal in the surgical management of spinal metastasis. The authors describe their reconstruction technique using a titanium cage-Silastic tube construct injected with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmented by...Titanium cage; Cervical spine; Cervical spinal metastasis; Reconstruction; Vertebrectomy; PMMA reconstruction; Silastic tube2005
189 Martin, JimTorso stabilization reduces the metabolic cost of producing cycling powerMany researchers have used cycling exercise to evaluate muscle metabolism. Inherent in such studies is an assumption that changes in whole-body respiration are due solely to respiration at the working muscle. Some researchers, however, have speculated that the metabolic cost of torso stabilization...Torso stabilization; Efficiency; Economy; Static contraction; Work2005

191 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Baranov, Pavel V.; Atkins, John F.; Hammer, Andrew W.Transcriptional slippage in bacteria: distribution in sequenced genomes and utilization in IS element gene expressionABSTRACT: Background: Transcription slippage occurs on certain patterns of repeat mononucleotides, resulting in synthesis of a heterogeneous population of mRNAs. Individual mRNA molecules within this population differ in the number of nucleotides they contain that are not specified by the templat...Transcription slippage; Bacterial genomes; IS element genes2005
192 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineTransport studies of isolated molecular wires in self-assembled monolayer devicesWe have fabricated a variety of isolated molecule diodes based on self-assembled monolayers (SAM) of solid-state mixture (SSM) of molecular wires [1,4-methane benzene dithiol (Me-BDT)], and molecular insulator spacers [penthane 1-thiol (PT)] with different concentration ratios r of wires/spacers, wh...Transport studies; Molecular wires; Monolayer devices2005
193 Boehme, ChristophTriplet recombination at Pb centers and its implications for capture cross sectionsPulsed electrically detected magnetic resonance measurements are presented showing that Pb centers at the crystalline silicon (c-Sid) (111) to silicon dioxide sSiO2d interface can cause recombination of strongly coupled spin pairs in singlet and triplet configurations.
