Graphical templates for model registration
A new method of model registration is proposed using graphical templates. A graph of landmarks is chosen in the template image. All possible candidates for these landmarks are f...

Higgs production at the lHC
We analyze the production of Higgs particles at the early stage of the CERN large Hadron Collider with a 7 TeV center of mass energy (lHC). We first consider the case of the Sta...
Wave propagation and localization in a long-range correlated random potential
We examine the effect of long-range spatially correlated disorder on the Anderson localization transition in $d=2+\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ dimensions. This is described as a phase...
Protection of minority interest and the development of security markets
While excessive regulation is an obstacle to the development of financial markets, we argue that lack of basic rules or poorly enforced regulation may explain the relative impor...
Ecology of Two Related Species of Caddis Fly Larvae in the Organic Substrates of a Woodland Stream
Two species of Pycnopsyche larvae inhabiting allochthonous organic materials in West Creek are contemporaneous and similar in size. Field studies and laboratory experiments show...
Allergic contact dermatitis following exposure to essential oils
SUMMARY Allergic contact dermatitis from the topical use of essential oils is not widely recognized as an occupational hazard. Four cases of allergic contact dermatitis to essen...
An Ethnographic-Case Study of Beliefs, Context Factors, and Practices of Teachers Integrating Technology
This ethnographic-case study explored the beliefs, context factors, and practices of three middle school exemplary teachers that led to a technology-enriched curriculum. Finding...
Derivation of Fixed Partial Charges for Amino Acids Accommodating a Specific Water Model and Implicit Polarization
We have developed the IPolQ method for fitting nonpolarizable point charges to implicitly represent the energy of polarization for systems in pure water. The method involves ite...
Theory of the Lattice Vibration of Graphite
A theory of the lattice vibration and specific heat of graphite, which has a typical lamellar structure, is worked out using the Born-von Kármán method. Four types of restoring ...
Scientific Journals and Their Authors’ Financial Interests: A Pilot Study
<b>Background:</b> The credibility of modern science is grounded on the perception of the objectivity of its scientists, but that credibility can be undermined by fi...
Dynamic wait-listed designs for randomized trials: new designs for prevention of youth suicide
Background The traditional wait-listed design, where half are randomly assigned to receive the intervention early and half are randomly assigned to receive it later, is often ac...
Reliability: Consistency or Differentiating Among Subjects?
Because reliability is a prerequisite for validity, it is of interest to physical therapists. But what is reliability? Mitchell states, "A reliable instrument is one with small ...
