1551 Golden, Kenneth M.Critical behavior of transport in lattice and continuum percolation modelsIt has been observed that the critical exponents of transport in the continuum, such as in the Swiss cheese and random checkerboard models, can exhibit nonuniversal behavior, with values different than the lattice case. Nevertheless, it is shown here that the transport exponents for both lattice a...Ising model; Magnetization; Scaling1997
1552 Golden, Kenneth M.Critical behavior of transport in percolation-controlled smart compositesThe electrical transport properties of many smart composites and other technologically important materials are dominated by the connectedness, or percolation properties of a particular component. Predicting the critical behavior of such media near their percolation threshold, where one typically obt...Matrix-particle composites1997
1553 Mattis, Daniel C.Critical curves and thermodynamic phases of lattice fluids and antiferromagnets with structured interactionsWe study the classical lattice gas with hard cores, nearest-neighbor repulsive forces, and next-nearest-neighbor attractive forces. We find several thermodynamic phases (vapor, liquid, and solid) and unusually shaped critical curves, yet no critical point or triple point. We find and discuss discont...Ising antiferromagnet; Molecular field theory1971-06
1554 Andrus, JenniferCritical discourse analysis and rhetoric and compositionOver the past two decades, critical discourse analysis has emerged as a major new multidisciplinary approach to the study of texts and contexts in the public sphere. Developed in Europe, CDA has lately become increasingly popular in North America, where it is proving especially congenial to new dire...2012-01-01
1555 Liu, FengCritical epinucleation on reconstructured surfaces and first-principle calculation of homonucleation on Si(100)We introduce the concept of ‘‘critical epinucleation'' to distinguish nucleation on surfaces with and without reconstruction. On a reconstructed surface, the critical classical nucleus is stable against dissociation, but may not yet break the underlying surface reconstruction. Consequently, ther...Critical epinucleation; First-principle calculation; Homonucleation; Si(100); Islands2005-09
1556 Critical examination of the demographic and psychological implications of mass preparation theoryThe obesity epidemic has generated a tremendous amount of speculation regarding its etiology. Some explanations focus on structural changes in U.S. society, such as the increased reliance on modern technologies for food production, work and entertainment (French, Story and Jeffery 2001; Koplan an...Weight management; Overweight; Nutrition; Health2005-12-05
1557 Brunvand, Erik L.Critical hazard free test generation for asynchronous circuitsWe describe a technique to generate critical hazard-free tests for self-timed control circuits build using a macromodule library, in a partial scan based DFT environment. We propose a 6 valued algebra to generate these tests which are guaranteed to be critical hazard free under an unbounded delay m...1997
1558 Miller, Jan D.Critical review of wetting and adhesion phenomena in the preparation of polymer-mineral compositesThe wetting behavior of liquid polymers at solid surfaces and the adhesion forces involved at polymer-filler interfaces should always be considered in the preparation of high-quality polymer composites, including those made with mineral fillers. Spontaneous polymer spreading over the filler surface...Polymer-minerals; Composites; Wetting; Adhesion1995
1559 Capecchi, Mario R.Critical role of tissue angiotensin-converting enzyme as revealed by gene targeting in miceAngiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) generates the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, which plays a critical role in maintenance of blood pressure in mammals. Although significant ACE activity is found in plasma, the majority of the enzyme is bound to tissues such as the vascular endothelium. We used ta...Blood pressure; ACE activity; Enzyme1997-03-06
1560 Herrmann, Mark G.; Durtschi, Jacob; Bromley, L. Kathryn; Voelkerding, Karl V.Cross platform comparison of melting curve analysisMelting analysis of PCR product was first performed on the LightCycler 10 years ago. Now, melting analysis is a standard function on all real-time PCR instruments. Recent advances in DNA melting analysis, including high resolution melting and specialized dyes, have increased the capabilities of melt...PCR; SNP; SYBR Green I; LC Green Plus; high-resolution melting; mutation scanning; amplicon genotyping2005-11-04
1561 Furse, Cynthia M.; Cherkaev, Elena A.Cross-borehole delineation of a conductive ore deposit in a resistive host-experimental designThe finite-difference time-domain method is used for high-resolution full-wave analysis of cross-borehole electromagnetic surveys of buried nickel sulfide deposits. The method is validated against analytical methods for simple cases, but is shown to be a valuable tool for analysis of complicated ...Finite-difference time-domain; FDTD; Cross-borehole; Electromagnetic surveys; Nickel sulfide deposits; Conductive ores; Resistive host2001-01-01
1562 Florsheim, Paul W.Cross-cultural views of self in the treatment of mental illness: disentangling the curative aspects of myth from the mythic aspects of cureTHIS paper compares Eastern and Western concepts of self within the context of the healing process. I draw upon the work of Sudhir Kakar and Heinz Kohut to illustrate differences in how mental illness is expressed and treated in India and the United States. I propose that cultural variances in the w...1990
1563 Owen, William E.; Roberts, William L.Cross-reactivity of three recombinant insulin analogs with five commercial insulin immunoassaysSeveral new insulin analogs that are prepared with recombinant DNA technology are available for clinical use [for a recent review, see Ref. (1)]. These agents have altered pharmacokinetics compared with regular human insulin. Insulin aspart (Novo-LogTM; Novo Nordisk Pharmaceuticals) is homologous ...Insulin analogs; Insulin immunoassays; Cross-reactivity2004
1564 Lucero, Mary T.; Mobley, Arie S.Cross-species comparison of metabolite profiles in chemosensory epithelia: an indication of metabolite roles in chemosensory cellsComparative studies of chemosensory systems in vertebrates and invertebrates have greatly enhanced our understanding of anatomical and physiological constraints of chemical detection. Immunohistochemical comparisons of chemosensory systems are difficult to make across species due to limited cross-re...Olfactory; Vomeronasal; Mouse; Zebrafish; Squid2008-04
1565 Zhdanov, MichaelCross-well electromagnetic imaging in three dimensionsIn this paper, we develop a new technique for 3D cross-well electromagnetic tomography, based on an EM borehole survey consisting of a moving vertical magnetic dipole transmitter, located in one or several boreholes, and a tri-axial induction receiver, located in the other boreholes. The method is b...2003
1566 Bohs, Lynn A.Crossing studies in Cyphomandra (Solanaceae) and their systematic and evolutionary significanceA crossing program involving eight species of Cyphomandra was instituted to elucidate systematic relationships between the taxa and evolutionary mechanisms operating in the genus. The results show that gametophytic self-incompatibility is widespread in Cyphomandra. Pollen tubes were able to reach ...Solanum maternum; Crossing studies1991
1567 Blair, StevenCrossing-aware channel routing for photonic waveguidesAbstract-Silicon photonics technology is progressing at a rapid pace. Despite greatly expanded manufacturing capability, physical design of integrated optical circuits currently lacks the level of automation found in VLSI design. A key component of integrated optic design is waveguide routing; howev...2013-01-01

1569 Beckerle, Mary C.CRP1, a LIM domain protein implicated in muscle differentiation, interacts with α-actininMembers of the cysteine-rich protein (CRP) family are LIM domain proteins that have been implicated in muscle differentiation.

1570 Miller, Joel StevenCrystal engineering or crystal mysticism? A case studyThe de novo design and synthesis of a crystalline motif of a substance is a holy grail for a growing number of organic and inorganic synthetic chemists.

1574 Chuaqui, Miguel BasimCuarteto ClaroscuroI grew up in Chile during the 70's, and early 80's, a time of political upheaval and economic distress in Chile, and this has probably exerted as strong an influence on my musical outlook as any other aspect of Chilean culture. While I distrust "political art" I do have an abiding desire for my musi...1997
