1 Adler, Frederick R.Alternating host cell tropism shapes the persistence, evolution and coexistence of Epstein-Barr virus infections in humanEpstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects and can persist in a majority of people worldwide. Within an infected host, EBV targets two major cell types, B cells and epithelial cells, and viruses emerging from one cell type preferentially infect the other. We use mathematical models to understand why EBV infec...2011
2 Adler, Frederick R.Effect of 1918 PB1-F2 expression on influenza A virus infection kineticsRelatively little is known about the viral factors contributing to the lethality of the 1918 pandemic, although its unparalleled virulence was likely due in part to the newly discovered PB1-F2 protein. This protein, while unnecessary for replication, increases apoptosis in monocytes, alters viral po...2011
3 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineEvidence for excimer photoexcitations in an ordered ?-conjugated polymer filmWe report pressure-dependent transient picosecond and continuous-wave photomodulation studies of disordered and ordered films of 2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy) poly(para-phenylenevinylene). Photoinduced absorption (PA) bands in the disordered film exhibit very weak pressure dependence and are assign...2011

6 Gondolo, PaoloDaily modulation due to channeling in direct dark matter crystalline detectorsThe channeling of the ion recoiling after a collision with a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) in direct dark matter crystalline detectors produces a larger scintillation or ionization signal than otherwise expected. Channeling is a directional effect, which depends on the velocity distrib...2011
7 Adler, Frederick R.Mathematical model of a three-stage innate immune response to a pneumococcal lung infectionPneumococcal pneumonia is a leading cause of death and a major source of human morbidity. The initial immune response plays a central role in determining the course and outcome of pneumococcal disease. We combine bacterial titer measurements from mice infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with mat...2011
8 Morse, Michael DavidResonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy of jet-cooled PdSiThe spectra of diatomic PdSi have been investigated for the first time, using the technique of resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy. A number of vibronic transitions have been observed in the 20 400?22 000 cm?1 range. It is difficult to group the bands into band systems, although one likely...2011
9 Adler, Frederick R.Plant signalling: The opportunities and dangers of chemical communicationThe notion of chemical communication between plants and other organisms has gone from being viewed as a fringe idea to an accepted ecological phenomenon only recently. An Organized Oral Session at the August 2010 Ecological Society of America meeting in Pittsburgh examined the role of plant signall...2011

12 Gondolo, PaoloXENON10/100 dark matter constraints in comparison with CoGeNT and DAMA: Examining the L eff dependenceWe consider the compatibility of DAMA/LIBRA, CoGeNT, XENON10 and XENON100 results for spin-independent (SI) dark matter weakly interacting massive particles, particularly at low masses (~10 GeV), assuming a standard dark matter halo. The XENON bounds depend on the scintillation efficiency factor Lef...2011

A flow tube ion source produces Au+ in its 1S (5d10) electronic ground state level. Corresponding state-specific reaction cross sections for forming AuH+ an...2011
14 Morse, Michael DavidSpectroscopy of diatomic ZrF and ZrCl: 760 ? 555 nmThe optical spectrum of diatomic ZrF has been investigated, with transitions recorded in the range from 14 700 to 18 000 cm?1. Many bands have been observed, several of which can be grouped into three band systems. Rotationally resolved investigations are hampered by perturbations that are rampant ...2011
15 Adler, Frederick R.Mathematical modeling the age dependence of Epstein-Barr virus associated infectious mononucleosisMost people get Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection at young age and are asymptomatic. Primary EBV infection in adolescents and young adults however, often leads to infectious mononucleosis (IM) with symptoms including fever, fatigue, and sore throat that can persist for months. Expansion in the numb...2011
16 Morse, Michael DavidDetection of nonpolar lons in 2?3/2 States by Radioastronomy via Magnetic Dipole TransitionsThe possibility of magnetic dipole-induced pure rotational transitions in the interstellar medium is investigated for symmetric Hund?s case (a) linear molecules, such as H-C?C-H+(X~2?3/2u), CO2+ (X~2?3/2g), H-C?C-?C-H+ (X~2?3/2g), and N3 (X~2?3/2g).

18 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineThe effects of charge injection in single-wall carbon nanotubes studied by charge-induced absorptionWe studied direct charge injection in a heterogeneous film of single-wall carbon nanotubes using the technique of charge-induced absorption. We found that the injected charges screen the excitons in the semiconducting tubes, reducing their binding energy and transferring oscillator strength from the...2011

22 Sekercioglu, CaganThe need to quantify ecosystem services provided by birdsWhat are birds worth-what is their actual dollar value to human society? To most of us in the ornithological community, birds are invaluable.
