251 Gondolo, PaoloCompatibility of DAMA dark matter detection with other searchesWe present two examples of velocity distributions for light dark matter particles that reconcile the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA with all other negative results from dark matter searches. They are: (1) a conventional Maxwellian distribution for particle masses around 5 to 9 GeV; (2) ...DAMA; CDMS; Neutralinos; WIMP; Weakly interacting massive particles; Halo models; Dark matter stream2005-06
252 Davidson, Diane W.Competition and the structure of granivore communitiesWe trace the development of our investigations of granivory in desert ecosystems, illustrating the synthesis of the comparative and experimental approaches and noting the essential contributions of both.

256 Fleming Aaron M.Computational studies of electronic circular dichroism spectra predict absolute configuration assignments for the guanine oxidation product 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoinOxidation of the guanine heterocycle by two electrons can yield the chiral product 5-carboxamido-5-formamido-2-iminohydantoin (2Ih). The 2Ih free base enantiomers were synthesized from 2'-deoxyguanosine oxidized with a Cu(II)/H2O2 oxidant system followed by hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond.

258 Seger, JonConditional relatedness, recombination, and the chromosome numbers of insectsIf two polymorphic loci are out of phase equilibrium, a homozygote at one of these loci is more highly related to its kin, at the other locus, than is an equivalent heterozygote. As a result, selection can favor (1) phenotypic responses to relative heterozygosity, and (2) increased recombination bet...Coefficients of relatedness; Conditional relatedness1983
259 Mattis, Daniel C.Conductivity of one-dimensional interacting fermions*Using an exactly soluble model, the decay rate of a current-carrying state of one-dimensional fermions is calculated in the presence of random scatterers at finite temperature and the dc conductivity thereby inferred.

261 Blumenthal, Donald K.; Trewhella, JillConformationally dynamic C helix of the RIalpha subunit of protein kinase A mediates isoform-specific domain reorganization upon C subunit binding.Different isoforms of the full-length protein kinase A (PKA) regulatory subunit homodimer (R2) and the catalytic (C) subunit-bound holoenzyme (R2C2) have very different global structures despite similar molecular weights and domain organization within their primary sequences. To date, it has been th...Protein Isoforms; Global Structures; cAMP2005-10-21
262 DeTar, CarletonConjecture concerning the modes of excitation of the quark-gluon plasmaIt is a widely held belief that at temperatures much higher than the confinement scale of quantumchromodynamics (QCD), quarks and gluons become free, giving rise to a new form of matter, called the quark-gluon plasma. It is conjectured here that the characterization of the plasma as a free or weakl...Polyakov loops; Excitation1985-07
