226 Wu, Yong-ShiGround states and thermal states of the random field Ising modelThe random field Ising model is studied numerically at both zero and positive temperature. Ground states are mapped out in a region of random field and external field strength. Thermal states and thermodynamic properties are obtained for all temperatures using the Wang-Landau algorithm. The specific...Ground states; Thermal states2005-09
227 DeTar, CarletonHeavy-light decay constants using clover valence quarks and three flavors of dynamical improved staggered quarksStarting in 2001, the MILC Collaboration began a large scale calculation of heavy-light meson decay constants using clover valence quarks on ensembles of three flavor configurations. For the coarse configurations, with a = 0.12 fm, eight combinations of dynamical light and strange quarks have been ...Decay constants; Clover valence quarks; Staggered quarks2005-03
228 Kestle, John R. W.High incidence of tumor dissemination in myxopapillary ependymoma in pediatric patientsP Myxopapillary ependymomas (MPEs) have historically been thought to be benign tumors occurring most frequently in adults. Only 8 to 20% of these tumors occur in the first two decades of life, making this tumor a rarity in pediatric neurosurgery. Five patients with intraspinal MPEs were treated by t...2005-01

231 Furse, Cynthia M.Impedance of a short dipole antenna in a magnetized plasma via a finite difference time domain modelThe traditional analytical analysis of plasma probes requires the use of quasi-static approximations, while numerical methods require the use of an equivalent dispersive media, both producing a nontrivial analysis of the plasma environment. On the other hand, a few techniques that combine the plasm...Antenna theory; finite-difference time-domain; FDTD; Plasma covered antennas; Plasma measurements2005-08
232 Rogachev, AndreyInfluence of high magnetic fields on the superconducting transition of one-dimensional Nb and MoGe nanowiresThe effects of a strong magnetic field on superconducting Nb and MoGe nanowires with diameter ~10 nm have been studied.

236 Francis, LeslieJustice through trust: disability and the Outlier problem in Social Contract TheoryThe article focuses on the flaws of the social contract theory. It explores how hostile the social contract as a bargaining process has been thought to distance disabled people from contract-based justice. It analyzes the argument that the history of social contract theory exclude the people with di...Consensus, social sciences; Discrimination; Social contract; Social ethics; Sociology of disability2005-10
237 DeTar, CarletonLeptonic decay constants fDs and fD in three flavor lattice QCDWe determine the leptonic decay constants fDs and fD in three flavor unquenched lattice QCD. We use O(a2)-improved staggered light quarks and O(a)-improved charm quarks in the Fermilab heavy quark formalism. Our preliminary results, based upon an analysis at a single lattice spacing, are fDs = 263+5...Decay constants2005-03
