1 Golden, Kenneth M.Arbitrarily slow approach to limiting behaviorABSTRACT. Let f(k, t): RN x [0, oo) -- R be jointly continuous in k and t, with lim(t)--(oo) f(k, t) = F(k) discontinuous for a dense set of k's. It is proven that there exists a dense set T of k's such that, for k e T , |f(k, t) - F(k)| approaches 0 arbitrarily slowly, i.e., roughly speaking, more ...Random; Conductivity; Diffusion1991
2 Golden, Kenneth M.Bounds on the complex permittivity of matrix-particle compositesThe complex effective dielectric constant E* of matrix-particle composites is considered. Such composites consist of separated inclusions of material of type one embedded in a matrix of material of type two. The analytic continuation method is used to derive a series of bounds which incorporate a n...Random; Parameters; Continuation1995
3 Golden, Kenneth M.Bounds on the complex permittivity of sea iceAn analytic method for obtaining bounds on effective properties of composites is applied to the complex permittivity e* of sea ice. The sea ice is assumed to be a two-component random medium consisting of pure ice of permittivity e1, and brine of permittivity e2. The method exploits the properties ...Brine; Properties; Geometry1995
4 Poulter, Charles Dale; Jiang, YunfengBTS1 encodes a geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeProtein prenylation utilizes different types of isoprenoids groups, namely farnesyl and geranylgeranyl, to modify proteins. These lipophilic moieties attach to carboxyl-terminal cysteine residues to promote the association of soluble proteins to membranes. Most prenylated proteins are geranylgeranyl...Amino Acid Sequence; Cloning, Molecular; Gene Expression1995-09-15
5 Golden, Kenneth M.Classical transport in quasiperiodic mediaAbstract. Classical transport coefficients such as the effective conductivity or diffusivity of a quasiperiodic medium were observed [1] to depend discontinuously on the frequencies of the quasiperiodicity. For example, for a one-dimensional medium with a potential V(x) = cosx + coskx , the effecti...Transport; Diffusion; Random1991
6 Golden, Kenneth M.Convexity and exponent inequalities for conduction near percolationThe bulk conductivity o*(p) of the bond lattice in Zd with a fraction p of conducting bonds is analyzed. Assuming a hierarchical node-link-blob (NLB) model of the conducting backbone, it is shown that o*(p) (for this model) is convex in p near the percolation threshold pc, and that its critical expo...Lattice; Conductivity; Model1990
7 Golden, Kenneth M.Convexity in random resistor networksThe bulk conductivity o*(p) of the bond lattice in Zd is considered, where the conductivity of the bonds is either 1 with probability p or e > 0 with probability 1 - p. Rigorous and non-rigorous results demonstrating convexity of o*(p) near the percolation threshold pc are presented.Conductivity; Bond lattice; Critical exponent t1989
8 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
9 Golden, Kenneth M.Modeling of anisotropic electromagnetic reflection from sea iceThe contribution of brine layers to observed reflective anisotropy of sea ice at 100 MHz is quantitatively assessed, and a theoretical explanation for observed reflective anisotropy is proposed in terms of anisotropic electric flux penetration into the brine layers. The sea ice is assumed to be a st...Brine; Anisotropy; Polarization1981
10 Golden, Kenneth M.Nash estimates and the asymptotic behavior of diffusionsIn 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; Divergence1988
11 Golden, Kenneth M.Physical and structural characteristics of Weddell Sea pack iceRecent studies by CRREL researchers of the dynamics and thermodynamics of sea ice in the Antarctic have included investigations of the physical and structural properties of pack ice in the Weddell Sea. The formation of pack ice and its subsequent movement from source areas in the Weddell Sea is part...Salinity; Brine; Frazil1987
12 Golden, Kenneth M.Sea ice studies in the Weddell Sea aboard USCGC Polar SeaOur purpose was to investigate several of the characteristics of Weddell Sea pack ice that may affect the relative roles of dynamics and thermodynamics of pack ice development in this region. The total pack ice production and the movement of pack ice from its source area in the Weddell Sea is part...Floes.; Salinity; Formation1980
13 Golden, Kenneth M.Statistical mechanics of conducting phase transitionsThe critical behavior of the effective conductivity o* of the random resistor network in Zd, near its percolation threshold, is considered. The network has bonds assigned the conductivities 1 and E >_0 in the volume fractions p and 1 -p. Motivated by the statistical mechanics of an Ising ferromagn...Resistor; Ising; Ferromagnet1995
