Clayton, Dale H. | Common grackle anting with lime fruit and its effect on ectoparasites | Anting is stereotyped behavior in which birds ex- pose themselves to fluid-secreting ants or other pun- gent substances. During "active" anting a bird crush- es an ant in the bill and rubs it frenetically through its plumage (Rothschild and Clay 1952). During "passive" anting a bird entices ants to ... | Quiscalus quiscala; Columbicola columbae; Anting; Ectoparasites | 1993 |

Ailion, David Charles | Nuclear double resonance: cross relaxation rates between two spin species | A rotating-frame nuclear-double-resonance experiment is reported in which the cross-relaxation rates between 7Li and 6Li in powdered lithium metal were measured. The theory developed my McArthur, Hahn, and Walstedt (MHW) is applied to these data and good agreement is obtained. We also apply this t... | Nuclear-double-resonance; Lithium; MHW; Cross-relaxation | 1977 |

Goller, Franz | Superfast vocal muscles control song production in songbirds | Birdsong is a widely used model for vocal learning and human speech, which exhibits high temporal and acoustic diversity.

Mattis, Daniel C. | Theory of the anomalous skin effect in normal and superconducting metals | Chambers' expression for the current density in a normal metal in which the electric field varies over a mean free path is derived from a quantum approach in which use is made of the density matrix in the presence of scattering centers but in the absence of the field.
