1 Sutherland, James Clayton; Kerstein, Alan R.; Chen, Jaqueline H.An evaluation of the one-dimensional turbulence model: comparison with direct numerical simulation of CO/H2 jets with extinction and reignitionAbstract A variant of the One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT) model formulated in an Eulerian reference frame is applied to a planar nonpre mixed turbulent jet flame and results from the model prediction are compared with DNS data. The model employed herein solves the full set of conservation equation...2010
2 Fowles, RichardCell phone effect on motor vehicle fatality rates: a Bayesian and classical econometric evaluationThis paper examines the potential effect of cell phones on motor vehicle fatality rates normalized for other driving related and socioeconomic factors. The model used is nonlinear so as to address both life-taking and life-saving attributes of cell phones. The model is evaluated using classical meth...2010
3 Shapiro, Michael D.Divergence, convergence, and the ancestry of feral populations in the domestic rock pigeonDomestic pigeons are spectacularly diverse and exhibit variation in more traits than any other bird species [1]. In The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin repeatedly calls attention to the striking variation among domestic pigeon breeds - generated by thousands of years of artificial selection on a s...2010
4 Capecchi, Mario R.Hematopoietic origin of pathological grooming in Hoxb8 mutant miceMouse Hoxb8 mutants show unexpected behavior manifested by compulsive grooming and hair removal similar to humans with OCD-spectrum disorder trichotillomania. Since Hox gene disruption often has pleiotropic effects, the root cause of this behavioral deficit was unclear. Here we report that, in the b...2010
5 Capecchi, Mario R.Hoxa1 lineage-tracing indicates a direct role for Hoxa1 in development of the inner ear, the heart and the third rhombomereLoss of Hoxa1 function results in severe defects of the brainstem, inner ear and cranial ganglia in humans and mice as well as cardiovascular abnormalities in humans. Since Hoxa1 is expressed very transiently during an early embryonic stage, it has been difficult to determine whether Hoxa1 plays a d...Hoxa1; Inner ear; Third rhombomere; Hindbrain; Hoxa1-IRES-Cre mouse; Embryonic development; Lineage-tracing2010
6 Armentrout, Peter B.Infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy of cationized cysteine: effects of metal cation size on gas-phase conformationAbstract The gas-phase structures of cationized cysteine (Cys) including complexes with Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, and Cs+, as well as protonated Cys, are examined by infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) action spectroscopy utilizing light generated by a free electron laser, in conjunction with q...2010
7 Armentrout, Peter B.Relative and absolute bond dissociation energies of sodium cation-alcohol complexes determined using competitive collision-induced dissociation experimentsAbsolute (R1OH)Na+-(R2OH) and relative Na+-(ROH) bond dissociation energies are determined experimentally by competitive collision-induced dissociation of (R1OH)Na+(R2OH) complexes with xenon in a guided ion beam mass spectrometer. The alcohols examined include ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, n-but...2010
8 Stang, Peter J.Self-assembly of coordinative supramolecular polygons with open binding sitesThe design and synthesis of coordinative supramolecular polygons with open binding sites is described. Coordination-driven self-assembly of 2,6-bis(pyridin-4-ylethynyl)pyridine with 60? and 120? organoplatinum acceptors results in quantitative formation of a supramolecular rhomboid and hexagon, resp...2010
9 Utz, Rebecca L.What is a cohort effect? Comparison of three statistical methods for modeling cohort effects in obesity prevalence in the United States, 1971-2006Analysts often use different conceptual definitions of a cohort effect, and therefore different statistical methods, which lead to differing empirical results. A definition often used in sociology assumes that cohorts have unique characteristics confounded by age and period effects, whereas epidem...Cohort effect; Obesity prevalence2010
10 Chaudhuri, Reaz A.Interlaminar shear stresses around an internal part-through hole in a stretched laminated composite plateThe equilibrium/compatibility method, which is a semi-analytical post-processing method, is employed for computation of hitherto unavailable through-thickness variation of interlaminar (transverse) shear stresses in the vicinity of the bi-layer interface circumferential re-entrant corner line of an...2010-03
11 Armentrout, Peter B.IR spectroscopy of cationized aliphatic amino acids: stability of charge-solvated structure increases with metal cation sizeAbstract Gas-phase structures of alkali metal cationized (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+) proline (Pro) and N-methyl alanine have been investigated using infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy utilizing light generated by a free electron laser and computational modeling. Measured IRMPD...2010-11
12 Chaudhuri, Reaz A.On three-dimensional singular stress/residual stress fields at the front of a crack/anticrack in an orthotropic/orthorhombic plate under anti-plane shear loadingA novel eigenfunction expansion technique, based in part on separation of the thickness-variable, is developed to derive three-dimensional asymptotic stress field in the vicinity of the front of a semi-infinite through-thickness crack/anticrack weakening/reinforcing an infinite orthotropic/orthorhom...2010-07
13 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineRecent advances in organic spin-valve devicesOrganic Spintronics has been considered to be the physics and applications of spin polarized electron injection, transport, manipulation and detection in organic diodes by the application of an external magnetic field.
