Forster, Richard R. | Effects of bedrock lithology and subglacial till on the motion of Ruth Glacier, Alaska, deduced from five pulses from 1973 to 2012 | A pulse is a type of unstable glacier flow intermediate between normal flow and surging. Using Landsat MSS, TM and ETM+ imagery and feature-tracking software, a time series of mostly annual velocity maps from 1973 to 2012 was produced that reveals five pulses of Ruth Glacier, Alaska. Peaks in ice ve... | 2014-01-01 | |

Henderson, Thomas C.; Thompson, William B. | Smart sensor snow | We propose to deploy and exploit and large number of inexpensive sensors to obtain information or trigger actions over a wide geographic area. Sensors may be of diverse physical natures: acoustic, IR, seismic, chemical, magnetic, thermal, etc. We describe here three major issues: (1) sensor distribu... | Smart sensors | 1998 |

Sperry, John S. | Evaluation of Murray's law in Psilotum nudum (Psilotaceae), an analogue of ancestral vascular plants | Previous work has shown that the xylem of seed plants follows Murray's law when conduits do not provide structural support to the plant. Here, compliance with Murray's law was tested in the stem photosynthesizer Psilotum nudum, a seedless vascular plant. Psilotum nudum was chosen because the central... | Conduit furcation number; hydraulic architecture; Murray's law | 2005 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Experimental test of the importance of preen oil in Rock Doves (Columba livia) | Most species of birds have a uropygial gland, also known as a preen gland, which produces oil that birds spread through their plumage when preening. The plumage of waterfowl deprived of uropygial oil becomes brittle and is subject to breakage. | Columba livia; Columbiformes; Preen oil; Ectoparasites; Columbicola columbae; Campanulotes compare; Plumage | 2003 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Role of photodynamic therapy in posterior fossa brain tumors: a preclinical study in a canine glioma model | Photodynamic therapy was studied in dogs with and without posterior fossa glioblastomas. This mode of therapy consisted of intravenous administration of Photofrin-II at doses ranging from 0.75 to 4 mg/kg 24 hours prior to laser light irradiation in the posterior fossa. Tissue levels of Photofrin-l... | Brain neoplasm; Posterior fossa; Photodynamic therapy; Glioblastomas; Dog; Photofrin-II; Canine glioma model | 1993 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Influence of bill shape on ectoparasite load in Western Scrub-Jays | Populations of the Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica) have bills specialized for feeding in their respective habitats. Populations in oak habitat have hooked bills, whereas those in pinyon habitat have pointed bills with a reduced maxillary overhang. Work on other bird species shows that the... | Ectoparasite load; Bill shape; Aphelocoma californica | 2002 |

Clayton, Dale H. | Biology, ecology, and evolution of chewing lice | Chewing lice are small, dorsoventrally compressed insects and are parasites of virtually all birds (Fig. 1) and some mammals (Fig. 2). Many chewing lice are host specific, being found on only a single species of host. All chewing lice are permanent ectoparasites and complete their entire life c... | Chewing lice | 2003 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Ultrafast studies of laser-action in poly-(p-pherylene vinylene) films | The recent demonstration of emission spectral narrowing in ∏-conjugated polymer has stirred widespread interest to the phenomenon of laser-action in these materials. It is now generally believed that spectral narrowing in superior polymer films is caused by amplified spontaneous emission (i.e. si... | Ultrafast studies; Poly-(p-pherylene vinylene); PPV; Laser-action | 1999 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Optimization, conflict, and nonoverlapping foraging ranges in ants | An organism's foraging range depends on the behavior of neighbors, the dynamics of resources, and the availability of information. We use a well-studied population of the red harvester ant Pogonomyrmex barbatus to develop and independently parameterize models that include these three factors. The mo... | Colony; Space; Model | 2003 |
