Chatterjee, Deen | Moral distance: introduction | This issue of The Monist is devoted to the question of how we should gauge the moral significance of distance. "Moral distance," by analogy with "aesthetic distance," may signify degrees of moral indifference, but that is not the theme we are concerned with here. The problem of distance in mora... | Distance; Boundaries; Morality | 2003 |

Scarpulla, Michael | Mutual passivation of group IV donors and nitrogen in diluted GaNxAs1 x alloys | We demonstrate the mutual passivation phenomenon of Ge donors and isovalent N in highly mismatched alloy GaNxAs1-x doped with Ge. Layers of this alloy were formed by the sequential implantation of Ge and N ions followed by pulsed laser melting and rapid thermal annealing. The mutual passivation effe... | Highly mismatched alloys; Passivation; Gallium arsenide | 2003 |

Schmidt, Meic H.; Schmidt, Richard H. | Nerve sheath tumors involving the sacrum | Nerve sheath tumors that involve the sacrum are rare. Delayed presentation is common because of their slow-growing nature, the permissive surrounding anatomical environment, and nonspecific symptoms. Consequently, these tumors are usually of considerable size at the time of diagnosis. The authors di... | Nerve sheath tumor; Schwannoma | 2003 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Novel Conus peptide ligand for K+ channels | Voltage-gated ion channels determine the membrane excitability of cells. Although many Conus peptides that interact with voltage-gated Na+ and Ca2+ channels have been characterized, relatively few have been identified that interact with K+ channels. We describe a novel Conus peptide that intera... | Conus peptides; Conotoxins | 2003 |

Sarofim, Adel F. | Numerical combustion of aviation fuel part I: a cross-model comparison of n-heptane premixed flame | Four different n-heptane mechanisms were used to simulate a fuel rich n-heptane premixed flame and their results were compared with experimental measurements. In addition to discussion of the numerical performance of each mechanism, flux analysis coupled with the atomic distribution technique was us... | Aviation fuel; n-heptane; Premixed flame | 2003 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Optimal tempo and defence for consumers of multiple resources | Ecological models of behaviour are typically based on the assumption that decisions can be evaluated with a single resource currency. Here we present models that predict the tactics of consumers collecting two nutritionally distinct resources: fuel that is used for activity and food used for growth ... | Defence; Optimal foraging; Provisioning | 2003 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Optimization, conflict, and nonoverlapping foraging ranges in ants | An organism's foraging range depends on the behavior of neighbors, the dynamics of resources, and the availability of information. We use a well-studied population of the red harvester ant Pogonomyrmex barbatus to develop and independently parameterize models that include these three factors. The mo... | Colony; Space; Model | 2003 |

Kieda, David B. | Overview of the ANITA project | The ANITA project is designed to investigate ultra-high energy (>1017 eV) cosmic ray interactions throughout the universe by detecting the neutrinos created in those interactions. These high energy neutrinos are detectable through their interactions within the Antarctic ice sheet, which ANITA will u... | ANITA; Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna; High energy neutrinos; Antarctica; Balloon | 2003 |

Miller, Jan D.; Lin, Chen-Luh | Particle size distribution for copper heap leaching operations as established from 3D mineral exposure analysis by X-ray microCT | The particle size distribution (PSD) for copper heap leaching is an important consideration in the design and operation of any copper heap leaching facility. High-resolution 3D X-ray microtomography (XMT) can be used for the direct determination of the percentage of exposed valuable mineral grains i... | Particle size distribution; Leaching; X-ray microtomography | 2003 |

Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T. | Particle-based simulation of fluids | Due to our familiarity with how fluids move and interact, as well as their complexity, plausible animation of fluids remains a challenging problem. We present a particle interaction method for simulating fluids. The underlying equations of fluid motion are discretized using moving particles and th... | 2003 | |
