The industrial/manufacturing program ranks No. 1 in the nation, while the computer, electrical, and mechanical programs are each ranked as the top program at a public university. Civil and aerospace are ranked No. 2.

Using a panel of U.S. school districts spanning 1970 – 2000, we examine the relationship between income inequality and fiscal support for public education. In contrast with recent theoretical and empirical work suggesting a negative relationship between inequality and public spending, we find results consistent with a median voter model, in which inequality that reduces the median voter’s tax s...

Integrin beta1C is an alternatively spliced cytoplasmic variant of the beta1 subunit that potently inhibits cell cycle progression. In this study, we analyzed the requirements for growth suppression by beta1C. A chimera containing the extracellular/transmembrane domain of the Tac subunit of the human interleukin 2 receptor (gp55) fused to the cytoplasmic domain of beta1C (residues 732-805) stro...

T HE instrument* and catheterst used in the fiberoptic oximeter described earlier' can also be applied to the colorimetric measurement of indicator substances such as Cardiogreen.+ With such a technic, momentto-moment changes in indicator concentration may be measured instead of the average concentration obtained with conventional instruments. Furthermore, no more sampling of blood is necessary...

The thermal emission of alkali metal ions from Al30-pillared montmorillonite in comparison with its natural form was studied by mass spectrometry in the temperature range 770-930 K. The measurements were carried out on a magnetic mass spectrometer MI-1201. For natural montmorillonite, the densities of the emission currents (j) decrease in the mass spectrum in the following sequence (T = 805 K, ...
