1 Ogburn, Joyce L.Report and commentary on the Faxon Institute: the second annual colloquium on scholarly communication issuesThe development of electronic means of publishing has forever changed the face of authorship, publishing and library services. Contracts are on the rise, fair use is waning, and this shift in emphasis has profound implications. For effective and economical dissemination of scholarly information to s...Electronic publishing; Libraries; Scholarly publishers1998
2 Wu, Yong-ShiBrane creation in M(atrix) theoryWe discuss, in the context of M(atrix) theory, the creation of a membrane suspended between two longitudinal five-branes when they cross each other. It is shown that the membrane creation is closely related to the degrees of freedom in the off-diagonal blocks which are related via dualities to the ...1998-02
3 DeTar, CarletonCritical behavior at the chiral phase transitionIt is generally expected that two-flavor QCD undergoes a high temperature chiral symmetry restoring phase transition at zero quark mass, with O(4) critical behavior[1]. Verifying this expectation is important for understanding the phenomenology of the transition and for facilitating an extrapolation...Phase transitions; Staggered fermions1998-04
4 DeTar, CarletonHeavy-light decay constants - MILC results with the Wilson actionWe present the current status of our ongoing calculations of pseudoscalar meson decay constants for mesons that contain one light and one heavy quark (fB, fBs , fD, fDs ). We are currently generating new gauge configurations that include dynamical quarks and calculating the decay constants. In add...Decay constants; Wilson action; Kogut-Susskind quarks; Staggered quarks; Chiral extrapolation1998-01
5 Olson, Randall J.; Crandall, Alan S.; Caldwell, Karin D.; Jensen, Michael K.Intraoperative crystallization on the intraocular lens surfacePURPOSE: To report a physician survey, laboratory studies, and clinical observations of intraoperative crystallization on the surface of the intraocular lens (IOL). METHOD: We sent a survey to all ophthalmologists in the states of Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Colorado asking whether crystalliz...Cataract Extraction; Intraoperative Complications; Risk Factors1998-08
6 DeTar, CarletonLight hadron spectrum - MILC results with the Kogut-Susskind and Wilson actions*We present the current status of our ongoing calculations of the light hadron spectrum with both Kogut-Susskind (KS) and Wilson quarks in the valence or quenched approximation. We discuss KS quarks first and find that the chiral extrapolation is potentially the biggest source of systematic error. F...Staggered quarks; Hadron spectrum; Kogut-Susskind quarks; Wilson quarks; Chiral extrapolation1998-01
7 DeTar, CarletonLight quark spectrum with improved gauge and fermion actionsWe report on a study of the light quark spectrum using an improved gauge action and both Kogut-Susskind and Naik quark actions. We have studied six different lattice spacings, corresponding to plaquette couplings ranging from 6.8 to 7.9, with five to six quark masses per coupling. We compare the t...Quark spectrum; Kogut-Susskind quarks; Naik quarks1998-04
8 Wu, Yong-ShiP-p′ strings in M(atrix) theoryWe study the off-diagonal blocks in the M(atrix) model that are supposed to correspond to open strings stretched between a Dp-brane and a Dp′-brane. It is shown that the spectrum, including the quantum numbers, of the zero modes in the off-diagonal blocks can be determined from the index theorem a...1998-08
9 DeTar, CarletonUpdate on the hadron spectrum with two flavors of staggered quarksWe present an update on the MILC Collaboration's light hadron spectrum calculation with two flavors of dynamical, staggered quarks. Results are presented for gauge couplings 5.30, 5.415, 5.50 and 5.60, with a range of quark masses for each value of the coupling. We present extrapolations of mN/mp ...Staggered quarks; Hadron spectrum1998-04
