Bastiani, Michael | Central projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: segmental gradients of synaptic probability and strength | The 20 stretch receptor neurons (SRs) of the crayfish abdomen send axons into the CNS that then project both to the brain and to the last abdominal ganglion, G6 (Bastiani and Mulloney, 1988). In G6, we recorded intracellularly from different kinds of neurons postsynaptic to SR axons. | Axons; Synapses; SR | 1988 |

Bastiani, Michael | Central projections of the stretch receptor neurons of crayfish: structure, variation, and postembryonic growth | Each stretch receptor neuron (SR) of the crayfish abdomen projects from its peripherally located soma an axon that enters the CNS through the second nerve (N2) of its segmental ganglion. CoZ+ backfills of N2 revealed that this axon bifurcates, sending one branch to the brain and the other to the te... | Abdomen; Axon; Ganglion | 1988 |

Armentrout, Peter B. | Collision-induced dissociation processes of Nb4+ and Fe4+: fission vs. evaporation | Despite the extensive effort devoted to research on gasphase metal clusters, quantitative thermodynamic data on such species are scarce. Such information is key to understanding and predicting the physical and chemical properties of clusters. Presently, bond energies are available primarily for tr... | Metal clusters; Nobium ions; Iron ions; Fission; Evaporation | 1988 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Comparative structure of harvester ant communities in arid Australia and North America | In the Australian arid zone, the species richness of ants is greater and that of mammalian granivores is less than in North American deserts. This study aimed to determine if the structure of harvester ant communities differs from that seen in North American deserts, focussing on differences relate... | Species; Rodents; Diversity | 1988 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Ecological studies of neotropical ant-gardens | In a census taken in Peru's Manu National Park, 10 epiphytic angiosperms from seven plant families established principally on arboreal carton-ant nests.

Seger, Jon | Evolution of individuality by Leo W. Buss | Metazoans seldom reproduce vegetatively; they often die of cancer; and they almost always sequester their germ lines. Plants often reproduce vegetatively, seldom die of cancer, and almost never sequester a germ line. Buss argues that these and many other patterns can all be understood in a unified w... | Cell lines; Hierarchy; Biology | 1988 |

Bohs, Lynn A. | Four new species of Cyphomandra (Solanaceae) from South America | Four new species in the Neotropical genus Cyphomandra are described and illustrated. Cyphomandra pilosa and C. foetida are found on the eastern slopes of the Andes from Colombia to Peru. Cyphomandra oblongifolia is a morphologically variable species of Suriname and the Amazon basin.

Gondolo, Paolo | Groups of galaxies in the local supercluster: some hypotheses on the evolutionary stage | We present a method capable of determining the evolutionary stage of bound, isolated systems of galaxies. In particular, we apply it to a sample of groups, belonging to the Local Supercluster, taken from the Geller and Huchra's (1983) catalogue. We find that most of them are still in the phase of c... | Evolution of galaxy clusters | 1988 |

Mattis, Daniel C. | Mattis and Pan reply | After several independent calculations failed to confirm our published1 numbers on the ground-state energy of the s = 1/2 antiferromagnet in two dimensions, we checked our computer programs and found some deplorable errors introduced in proceeding from one dimension to two. | Ground-state energy; Antiferromagnets; Long-range order | 1988 |

Williams, Clayton C. | Measurement of in-plane magnetization by force microscopy | We present data which show that the magnetic force microscope is capable of detecting the component of the magnetic field parallel to the surface of a sample under study. Images of bits in a Co-alloy thin-film disk and of laser-written bits in a TbFe film were taken with a magnetized tip tilted at ... | Co-alloy disc; Magnetization | 1988 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Nash estimates and the asymptotic behavior of diffusions | In order to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a particle diffusing in a drift field derived from a smooth bounded potential, we develop Nash-type a priori estimates on the transition density of the process. As an immediate consequence of the estimates, we find that for a rapidly decaying potential... | Potentials; Transition; Divergence | 1988 |

Williams, Clayton C. | Noise reduction technique for scanning tunneling microscopy | Noise stemming from mechanical vibration, electronic noise, or low frequency (l / f power spectrum) inherent in the tunneling process, often limits the resolution, speed, or range of application of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We demonstrate a technique for minimizing the effect of these noi... | Noise reduction; Dithering; Graphite | 1988 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Ehrenfreund, Eitan A. | Optically detected magnetic resonance study of recombination mechanisms in polythiophene | From detailed optically detected magnetic resonance measurements in polythiophene, we show that the g=2.003 signal is luminescence enhancing, and that the signal comes from a broad photoluminescence band peaking near 1.65 eV.
