1 Ailion, David Charles93Nb NMR in the imcommensurate and quasi-commensurate phases of barium sodium niobateNMR spectra have been measured for the quadrupole perturbed 1/2 -1/2 transition of 9 3Nb in barium sodium niobate (BSN) between 300 and 650 K. The spectra are inhomogeneously broadened in the incommensurate (/) phase between T7 = 580 K and r c = 540 K as well as in the quasicommensurate (QC) phase ...NMR; Spectra; Barium sodium niobate; Line shapes1994

5 Adler, Frederick R.Construction of multidimensional clustered patternsEcological processes often depend upon the patterning, as well as the absolute density, of resources. In this paper, we develop methods for describing pattern from the perspective of the organism encountering and exploiting the resources, and for reconstructing pattern from the description.Algorithms; clustered resources; foraging1994
6 Bohs, Lynn A.Cyphomandra (Solanaceae)Unusual ecological aspects of Cyphomandra include its pollination syndrome and herbivore relationships. Male euglossine bees may be important pollinators of Cyphomandra flowers, and the primary attractants may not be pollen, but odor substances secreted by the anther connectives. Specialized herbi...Cyphomandra; Latin America1994
7 Adler, Frederick R.Defended fortresses or moving targets? Another model of inducible defenses inspired by military metaphorsWe use a common framework to compare three models of plant strategies to confront herbivory: constitutive defense, optimal inducible defense, and the "moving target." Plants with constitutive defenses retain a fixed defensive phenotype. Plants with optimal inducible defenses respond to attack by inc...Constitutive defense; optimal inducible defense; phenotype1994
8 Williams, Clayton C.; Stringfellow, Gerald B.Effect of substrate misorientation on ordering in Ga0.5In0.5POrdering produced in Gao.5Ino.5P epitaxial layers grown by OMVPE can be controlled by variations in the substrate misorientation as well as the growth temperature and the growth rate. The ordering produced at a growth temperature of 620°C and a relatively low growth rate of 0.5 /μm/hr is found to ...Ga0.5In0.5P; Epitaxial layers; Epitaxial growth; OMVPE1994
9 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Weiss, Robert B.Efficient shine- Dalgarno sequence but not translation is necessary for LacZ mRNA stability in Escherichia coliThe 5' ends of many bacterial transcripts are important in determining mRNA stability. A series of Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence changes showed that the complementarity of the SD sequence to the anti-SD sequence of 16S rRNA correlates with lacZ mRNA stability in Escherichia coli. Several initiation c...Protein Biosynthesis; Ribosomes; Escherichia coli; Shine-Dalgarno Sequence1994
10 Golden, Kenneth M.Exact result for the effective conductivity of a continuum percolation modelA random two-dimensional checkerboard of squares of conductivities 1 and 8 in proportions p and 1 - p is considered. Classical duality implies that the effective conductivity obeys o* = V8 at p = 1/2. It is rigorously found here that to leading order as 8--0, this exact result holds for all p in the...Particles; Matrix; Checkerboard1994

12 Symko, Orest GeorgeFormation of AlCuFe quasicrystalline thin films by solid state diffusionWe show that thin films 3000 A in thickness of the icosahedral AlCuFe phase can be formed by solid state diffusion of sputtered Al, Cu, and Fe layers. As for bulk materials, we propose that the icosahedral phase grows by diffusion of the 0.1 in the A13Fe layer previously formed by interdiffusion of...AlCuFe; Quasicrystalline thin films; Solid state diffusion; Icosahedral phase1994
13 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.Forthcoming attractionsMagnets made from molecules and ions having spins in p orbitals have only been discovered in the past decade. Their solubility in organic solvents and room temperature manufacture means that they should find a variety of applications.Electron; Temperature; Magnets1994
14 Adler, Frederick R.General test for interaction modificationHow can measurements of population dynamics be used to deduce the mechanisms of interaction in an assemblage of species?
