1 Sperry, John S.Anatomy of the palm Rhapis excelsa, VIII. Vessel network and vessel-length distribution in the stemTHE CONCEPT of the vessel, a conducting unit consisting of a series of vessel elements lined up end to end, has been known for well over a century (e.g., Hartig, 1878). The fact that vessels are of limited length is of considerable functional importance. If a vessel is damaged (for example, by an in...Palm stems; Palm stem anatomy; Vessel network; Vessel-length distribution; Primary vascular stem tissue; Hydraulic architechture; Water column1982
2 Mattis, Daniel C.Decay of electron waves in a random mediumThis paper reports calculation of the time-correlation function of an electron wave of given wave vector k in a three-dimensional medium with weak scatterers randomly distributed. An initial parabolic decay is followed by the usual exponential law which, asymptotically, gives way to a 1/t3 law.Scattering; Potential; Coupling1982
3 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.Evidence for solitons in conducting organic charge-transfer crystalsMagnetic susceptibility of (N-methylphenazinium)x(phenazine)(1-x (tetracyanoquinodimethanide) [(NMP)x(Phen)1-x(TCNQ)] shows the formation of defect states for 0.5<x<0.54. Diffuse x-ray scattering and g-value studies indicate that these defects are solitons formed in the highly correlated quasi-one-...TCNQ; X-ray scattering1982
4 Sperry, John S.Observations of reaction fibers in leaves of dicotyledonsHALLE, OLDEMAN, AND TOMLINSON (1978) have discussed the transference of function between compound leaves and plagiotropic branches in the context of tree architecture. In trees conforming to Cook's model (see Halle, Oldeman, & Tomlinson, 1978), plagiotropic branches resemble compound leaves in their...Reaction fibers; Compound leaves1982
5 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.Optical properties of the cation-deficient platinum chain salt K1.75Pt(CN)4¢1.5H2OThe room-temperature polarized reflectance of a potassium-deficient platinum chain salt K1.75Pt(CN)4.1.5Hz[K0 (def)CP] has been measured in the infrared and visible. The reflectance is strongly anisotropic, with a plasma edge in the red and high reflectance in the infrared for light polarized para...Reflectance; Crystals; Lattice1982
6 Olivera, Baldomero M.Poly (ADP-ribosylation) in Vitro: reaction parameters and enzyme mechanismThe reaction catalyzed by poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase from bovine thymus was investigated using the purified enzyme, calf thymus DNA, and histone H1. The rate and extent of poly(ADP-ribosylation), as well as the spectrum of acceptor proteins, changed as reaction conditions were varied. The ionic co...ADP-ribosylation; Poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase; Histone H11982
7 Coley, Phyllis D.Rates of herbivory on different tropical treesRates of herbivory on marked young and mature leaves from saplings of 21 canopy tree species were measured in the wet and dry seasons. Species were classified into two life history groups: persistent species which are found throughout the shaded understory, and pioneer species which only become e...Herbivory; Grazing damage; Tropical trees; Pioneer species; Trees -- Tropics1982
8 Armentrout, Peter B.Reaction of Cr+, Mn+, Fe+, Co+, and Ni+ with O2 and N2O. Examination of the translational energy dependence of the cross sections of endothermic reactionsReactions of Cr+, Mn+, Fe+, Co+, and Ni+ with 02 and N20 to yield metal oxide ions are examined using an ion beam apparatus. Reaction cross sections a as a function of ion translational energy E are reported. With one exception, Fe+ + N20, the cross sections exhibit an energy threshold E0.Metal oxides; Endothermic reactions; Translational energy; Bond energy; Threshold energy1982
9 Symko, Orest GeorgeSuperconducting microphone for photoacoustic spectroscopyA superconducting microphone has been developed for photoacoustic spectroscopy at low temperatures. The microphone consists of a thin mylar membrane coated with a film of lead whose motion is detected by SQUID magnetometer. For the simple set-up presented here, the limiting pressure sensitivity is ...Superconducting microphone; Photoacoustic spectroscopy; Low temperatures1982
10 Symko, Orest GeorgeTemperature dependence of the order parameter in a dilute AgMn spin glassThe magnetization of a dilute AgMn spin glass containing 150 ppm Mn has been measured over the temperature range from 20 mK to 2 K in an applied field of 0.9 Oe, using a SQUID magnetometer. A comparison of the measured magnetization with numerical calculations of the magnetization based on the Mean ...AgMn spin glass; Mean random field; MRF; Temperature dependence; Order parameter; RKKY interactions1982
11 Miller, Joel Steven; Epstein, Arthur J.X-ray observation of crossover of 2kF to 4kF scattering in (N-Methylphenazinium)x(Phenazine)1-x(Tetracyanoquinodimethane) [(NMP)x(Phen)1-x(TCNQ)], 0.5 (< _x <_ 1.0)We report the temperature-dependent x-ray diffuse scattering of (NMP),(Phen)(1-x-)(TCNQ) as a function of conduction-electron density (x). With decreasing x three different unique electronic instability regimes are successively observed on the TCNQ chains: (i) the 2kF instability for (2/3<_x<_1, (ii...Conduction-electron; Electron density; Chain1982
