1 Golden, Kenneth M.Transition in the fractal geometry of Arctic melt pondsDuring the Arctic melt season, the sea ice surface undergoes a remarkable transformation from vast expanses of snow covered ice to complex mosaics of ice and melt ponds. Sea ice albedo, a key parameter in climate modeling, is determined by the complex evolution of melt pond configurations. In fact, ...2012-01-01
2 Golden, Kenneth M.The lsing model and critical behavior of transport in binary composite mediaWe present a general theory for critical behavior of transport in binary composite media. The theory holds for lattice and continuum percolation models in both the static case with real parameters and the quasi-static case (frequency dependent) with complex parameters. Through a direct, analytic cor...2012-01-01
3 Golden, Kenneth M.Critical behavior of transport in lattice and continuum percolation modelsIt has been observed that the critical exponents of transport in the continuum, such as in the Swiss cheese and random checkerboard models, can exhibit nonuniversal behavior, with values different than the lattice case. Nevertheless, it is shown here that the transport exponents for both lattice a...Ising model; Magnetization; Scaling1997
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

7 Golden, Kenneth M.Electrical transport in high contrast composite materialsA broad range of problems in the physics of materials involve highly disordered media whose effective behavior depends critically on the connectedness, or percolation properties of a particular component.

12 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.
