1 Adler, Frederick R.Alternating host cell tropism shapes the persistence, evolution and coexistence of Epstein-Barr virus infections in humanEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects and can persist in a majority of people worldwide. Within an infected host, EBV targets two major cell types, B cells and epithelial cells, and viruses emerging from one cell type preferentially infect the other. We use mathematical models to understand why EBV infec...2011
2 Armentrout, Peter B.Communication: Theoretical exploration of Au++ H2, D2, and HD reactive collisionsA quasi-classical study of the endoergic Au+(¹S) + H₂(X¹Σ+g) → AuH+ (²Σ+) + H(²S) reaction, and isotopic variants, is performed to compare with recent experimental results [F. Li, C. S. Hinton, M. Citir, F. Liu, and P. B. Armentrout, J. Chem. Phys. 134, 024310 (2011)]. For this purpose, a ...2011
3 Gondolo, PaoloDaily modulation due to channeling in direct dark matter crystalline detectorsThe channeling of the ion recoiling after a collision with a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) in direct dark matter crystalline detectors produces a larger scintillation or ionization signal than otherwise expected. Channeling is a directional effect, which depends on the velocity distrib...2011
4 Morse, Michael DavidDetection of nonpolar lons in 2?3/2 States by Radioastronomy via Magnetic Dipole TransitionsThe possibility of magnetic dipole-induced pure rotational transitions in the interstellar medium is investigated for symmetric Hund?s case (a) linear molecules, such as H-C?C-H+(X~2?3/2u), CO2+ (X~2?3/2g), H-C?C-?C-H+ (X~2?3/2g), and N3 (X~2?3/2g). These species lackan electric dipole moment and th...2011
5 Adler, Frederick R.Effect of 1918 PB1-F2 expression on influenza A virus infection kineticsRelatively little is known about the viral factors contributing to the lethality of the 1918 pandemic, although its unparalleled virulence was likely due in part to the newly discovered PB1-F2 protein. This protein, while unnecessary for replication, increases apoptosis in monocytes, alters viral po...2011

7 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineThe effects of charge injection in single-wall carbon nanotubes studied by charge-induced absorptionWe studied direct charge injection in a heterogeneous film of single-wall carbon nanotubes using the technique of charge-induced absorption. We found that the injected charges screen the excitons in the semiconducting tubes, reducing their binding energy and transferring oscillator strength from the...2011
8 Morse, Michael DavidElectronic structure of the 4 d transition metal carbides: dispersed fluorsecence spectroscopy of MoC, RuC, and PdCDispersed fluorescence studies of the diatomic molecules MoC, RuC, and PdC are reported. New states identified in MoC and RuC are the [...]2??12??, ?,??? states and the [...]2??12??, ??? state, respectively. Five states are observed by dispersed fluorescence in PdC. The ground state is found to be [...2011
9 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineEvidence for excimer photoexcitations in an ordered ?-conjugated polymer filmWe report pressure-dependent transient picosecond and continuous-wave photomodulation studies of disordered and ordered films of 2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy) poly(para-phenylenevinylene). Photoinduced absorption (PA) bands in the disordered film exhibit very weak pressure dependence and are assign...2011
10 Armentrout, Peter B.Guided ion beam and theoretical study of the reactions of Au+ with H2, D2, and HDReactions of the late third-row transition metal cation Au+ with H2, D2, and HD are examined using guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometry. A flow tube ion source produces Au+ in its 1S (5d10) electronic ground state level. Corresponding state-specific reaction cross sections for forming AuH+ an...2011
11 Armentrout, Peter B.Guided ion beam and theoretical study of the reactions of Os + with H 2, D 2, and HDReactions of the third-row transition metal cation Os+ with H2, D2, and HD to form OsH+ (OsD+) were studied using a guided ion beam tandem mass spectrometer. A flow tube ion source produces Os+ in its 6D (6s15d6) electronic ground state level. Corresponding state-specific reaction cross sections are...2011
12 Adler, Frederick R.Mathematical model of a three-stage innate immune response to a pneumococcal lung infectionPneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mat...2011
13 Adler, Frederick R.Mathematical modeling the age dependence of Epstein-Barr virus associated infectious mononucleosisMost people get Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection at young age and are asymptomatic. Primary EBV infection in adolescents and young adults however, often leads to infectious mononucleosis (IM) with symptoms including fever, fatigue, and sore throat that can persist for months. Expansion in the numb...2011
14 Adler, Frederick R.Plant signalling: The opportunities and dangers of chemical communicationThe notion of chemical communication between plants and other organisms has gone from being viewed as a fringe idea to an accepted ecological phenomenon only recently. An Organized Oral Session at the August 2010 Ecological Society of America meeting in Pittsburgh examined the role of plant signall...2011
15 Morse, Michael DavidResonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy of jet-cooled OsN: 520?418 nmThe optical transitions of supersonically cooled OsN have been investigated in the range from 19 200 to 23 900 cm?1 using resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy.
