Mallat, Chibli | Commercial Law in the Middle East: Between Classical Transactions and Modern Business | A brief presentation of commercial law decisions across the Arab world is sufficient to show the dominance of western principles in the field, and the direct translation of western terminology and rules for local transactions.2 The decisions have been regrouped in categories which will be familiar t... | 2000-01 | |

DeTar, Carleton | Critical behavior in Nt=4 staggered fermion thermodynamics | Quantum chromodynamics with two zero mass flavors is expected to exhibit a phase transition with O(4) critical behavior. Fixing the universality class is important for phenomenology and for facilitating the extrapolation of simulation data to physical quark mass values. Other groups have reported r... | Staggered fermions; Phase transitions | 2000-01 |

Liu, Feng | First-principles study of impurity segregation in edge dislocations in Si | Using ab initio calculations, the segregation of As, Ga, and Ge atoms in the core regions of perfect edge dislocations in Si is examined. When all nearest neighbors of an impurity are Si atoms, As favors the core site at maximum compression and has a segregation energy of 0.25 eV/atom.

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Lasing and stimulated emission in ∏-conjugated polymers | Recent studies of lasing and stimulated emission in luminescent -conjugated polymers performed by our group are presented. Optical properties of cylindrical high- polymer microcavities are discussed. The emission spectra of plastic microring and microdisk lasers are measured and analyzed.

Scarpulla, Michael | New methodologies for measuring film thickness, coverage, and topography | We describe how the techniques of X-ray reflectivity (XRR), electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to obtain the structural parameters-thickness, coverage, and topography-of thin films used on magnetic recording disks. We focus on ultra-thi... | Atomic force microscopy; Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis; X-ray reflectivity | 2000-01 |

Gondolo, Paolo | Prompt atmospheric neutrinos and muons: NLO vs LO QCD predictions | We compare the leading and next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the flux of atmospheric muons and neutrinos from decays of charmed particles. We find that the full NLO lepton fluxes can be approximated to within ~10% by the Born-level fluxes multiplied by an overall factor of 2.2-2.4, which d... | Atmospheric flux; Prompt flux; Charm | 2000-01 |
