Buriak.nanoparticles-- Nanoparticles form gradually after a semiconductor is dipped into a solution of metal salt. The cycle progresses from a surface of bare germanium (at the 12 o'clock position) progressing clockwise to the same surface 500 minutes after immersion. The process occurs naturally, without the expensive equipment that is otherwise necessary to produce high-purity metals.
Edwards.rootworm-- Purdue entomology professor C. Richard Edwards demonstrates the difference between a healthy corn plant's root structure (left) and one that has been ravaged by corn rootworms.
Melson.falsepapers-- Robert Melson's book, "False Papers: Deception and Survival in the Holocaust," chronicles his family's escape from the Nazis during World War II. Melson, a political science professor at Purdue University, was only 4 years old when his family changed their names and identities in an attempt to survive the holocaust. His mother had acquired false documents that allowed the family to masquerade as Polish aristocrats right in front of the Nazis. The story is based on 17 hours of taped interviews with Melson's parents, conducted in July 1978, and Melson's own memories.
Beck.roboticdog-- Ruth Lawson, a participant in the Purdue University animal-assisted study that will evaluate the impact of robotic dogs on the elderly, pets AIBO's paw. Research is being conducted at the Purdue Center for Human-Animal Bond to evaluate the impact of robotic dogs on seniors' depression, physical activity, life satisfaction and morale. AIBO, which means pal in Japanese, interacts with people by responding to commands, barking and playing. Alan Beck, director of the Center for the Human-Animal Bond in Purdue's School of Veterinary Medicine, and Nancy Edwards, professor of nursing, are leading the study.

Ebert.stippling-- This image of a human cranium was created with a new kind of computer-imaging software that uses the ancient technique of stippling to convert complex medical data into 3-D images that can be quickly viewed by medical professionals. Data from CT scans were converted into dots to create the stippled image. Cave dwellers and artisans used stippling thousands of years ago to create figures by painting or carving a series of tiny dots. More recently, 19th century Parisian artist Georges Seurat used the method, also called pointillism, to draw colorful, intricately detailed works. Because dots are the most simple visual element in a picture, they also are ideal for computer visualizations.

Masters.infant-- Mothers in Africa value information on food safety so much that they willingly pay more than necessary for infant food. Purdue researcher Diakalia Sanogo (center) gave women in Mali name-brand baby food and found out what they would trade for it. His study indicated they would pay 30 percent of the cost of the higher-priced infant food just for the food quality information alone. He was assisted in his study by Salimata Traore (right), a food scientist with Mali's National Food Technology Laboratory.
Corriveau.petwell-- Lori Corriveau, a veterinarian in the Wellness Clinic at the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine, examines Chili, a military macaw. Corriveau says many nontraditional pets never make it to the veterinarian for wellness exams. Bringing nontraditional pets for regular visits can help prevent health problems, Corriveau says. Routine veterinary care for birds includes checking for parasites, normal gastrointestinal bacteria levels and inspecting beak and feather growth.
Koch.retention-- Purdue University students from the School of Freshman Engineering apply physics theories at an event called Physics on the Farm as part of the freshman engineering learning community. These students from the West Lafayette campus, as well as students on all Purdue campuses, participated in new programs funded by a Lilly Endowment five-year, $5 million grant that supported new and existing efforts to keep students in school and help them graduate within a six-year period. More than 800 additional Purdue students are more likely to earn their bachelor's degrees thanks to Lilly programs such as learning communities.
Adams.analyze-- Two sensors called accelerometers, seen attached in this photograph on the muffler and exhaust pipe, are used to record vibration. The sensors are placed at several key locations or on certain components on the car and the system is rocked back and forth with devices called "shakers," causing vibration. Sensors record the system's response to the vibration. Data collected by the sensors is then used in a series of formulas in models that require complex mathematics. Mechanical engineers at Purdue University, however, have developed a technique that uses the same vibration data without the complex mathematics to analyze problems in automotive designs.
Bolin.bioremediation-- A micrograph image of Rhodococcus sp. RHA1, which are good PCB-degraders. Researchers Jeffrey Bolin and Lindsay Eltis hope bacteria, such as these, can be bred to digest PCBs effectively enough to cleanse the environment of these hazardous chemicals.
