26 Chamberlin, Ralph V.The black widow spider and its varieties in the United StatesThe spiders of the genus Latrodectus, a member of the family Theridiidae, popularly known as the line-weavers or comb-footed spiders, are of world-wide distribution in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes. The genus " comprises those very interesting spiders which, under various local names, have bee...1935-06
27 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Krapcho, Karen J.; Talbot, Phil; Thulin, CraigCrystallization of the MS2 translational repressor alone and complexed to bromouridineThe coat protein from the MS2 bacteriophage plays a dual role by encapsidating viral RNA and also by binding RNA as a translational repressor. In order to study the isolated dimer in a conformation not influenced by capsid interactions, a mutant molecule was crystallized that is defective in capsid ...Crystallization; RNA Bacteriophage; RNA Hairpin; Translational Repressor1995
28 Coley, Phyllis D.Red coloration of tropical young leaves: a possible antifungal defense?Many woody species in humid tropical forests synchronously flush entire canopies of young red leaves. Numerous unsuccessful attempts have been made to explain the adaptive value of this visually striking phenomenon. In the humid tropics, fungal attack is a potentially important source of mortality f...Herbivory; Anthocyanin; Antifungal defense; Atta columbica; Panama; Leaf-cutting ants; Tropics; Young leaves1989
29 Boehme, ChristophTransport and recombination through weakly coupled localized spin pairs in semiconductors during coherent spin excitationSemianalytical predictions for the transients of spin-dependent transport and recombination rates through localized states in semiconductors during coherent electron-spin excitation are made for the case of weakly spin-coupled charge-carrier ensembles. The results show that the on-resonant Rabi freq...Larmor frequency; Larmor separations2006-12
30 O'Rourke, Dennis H.Introduction: origins and settlement of the indigenous populations of the Aleutian ArchipelagoThe series of papers in this special issue of Human Biology use an interdisciplinary approach to address regional questions and to integrate disparate Aleutian data into a broad, synthetic effort.

31 Morse, Michael David???X??+ band systems of jet-cooled ScCo and YCoRotationally resolved resonant two-photon ionization (R2PI) spectra of ScCo and YCo are reported. The measured spectra reveal that these molecules possess ground electronic states of 1?+ symmetry, as previously found in the isoelectronic Cr2 and CrMo molecules. The ground state rotational constant...2010
32 Vardeny, Zeev ValentinePhonon anomalies in Cu halidesA great number of the observed phonon anomalies in the zinc-blende phase of Cu-halide crystals are explained by means of a dynamical model. It is assumed that a Cu ion populates four equivalent off-center sites or its ideal position. The off-center Cu+ population is temperature and pressure dependen...Phonon anomalies; Cu-halide crystals; Cuprous halides1979-03
33 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineDisorder-induced TA Raman lines in mixed Cu-halide crystalsThe Raman spectra of CuClxBr1=x and CuBrxI1=x solid solutions are shown to contain extremely intense disorder-induced first-order TA phonons. The intensity of these lines is a function of the concentration x, and is highest in CuCl0.6oBr0.40. The TA spectrum, well resolved at low temperature, fits...Cuprous halides; CuBr; CuCl; CuI; mixed Cu-halide crystals1979-03
34 Symko, Orest GeorgeDoes the quasicrystal AlCuFe follow Ohm's law?We present the first measurements of the electrical I-V characteristics of AlCuFe quasicrystalline thin films processed by solid state interdiffusion of magnetron sputtered Al, Cu, and Fe layers. Despite the peculiar electronic properties of quasicrystals, our results show that those samples follow ...AlCuFe; Quasicrystal1994-10
35 Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. MichaelNovel post-translational modification involving bromination of tryptophan: identification of the residue, L-6-bromotryptophan, in peptides from Conus imperialis and Conus radiatus venomWe report a novel post-translational modification involving halogenation of tryptophan in peptides recovered from the venom of carnivorous marine cone snails (Conus). The residue, L-6-bromotryptophan, was identified in the sequence of a heptapeptide, isolated from Conus imperialis, a worm-hunting...Conotoxins; Conus imperialis; Conus radiatus; L-6-bromotryptophan1997

This clade is characterized by the presence of prickles and apically attenuate anthers. Solanum section Androceras, the focus of this study, is a group of ca. 12 species belon...2010-12-01
37 Olivera, Baldomero M.Defining a clade by morphological, molecular, and toxinological criteria: distinctive forms related to Conus praecellens A. Adams, 1854 (Gastropoda: Conidae)We carried out a definition of the Conus praecellens A. Adams, 1854, species group using a combination of comparative morphological data, molecular phylogeny based on standard genetic markers, and toxinological markers. Prior to this work, Conus praecellens was generally postulated to belong to a cl...Turriconus; 12SrRNA sequences; Phylogenetic analysis; Conus praecellens; Exogenes2010
38 Boehme, ChristophSpin-dependent recombination - an electronic readout mechanism for solid state quantum computersIt is shown that coherent spin motion of electron-hole pairs localized in band gap states of silicon can influence charge carrier recombination. Based on this effect, a readout concept for silicon based solid-state spin-quantum computers as proposed by Kane is suggested. The 31P quantum bit (qbit) i...Spin readout; qbit; Spin-dependent recombination2002-10
39 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Modulated contrast and associated diffracted intensity of GaPySb1-y layers grown using organometallic vapor phase epitaxyWe have investigated the modulated structures and its associated diffracted diff_x000B_use intensity, of organometallic vapor phase epitaxially grown GaPSb (001) layers by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and transmission electron diff_x000B_raction (TED). The TEM results reveal the co-e...Organometallic vapor phase epitaxy; GaPySb1-y layers; Modulated contrast; Diffracted intensity2008
40 Wu, Yong-ShiObservable effects of the quantum adiabatic phase for noncyclic evolutionIt is pointed out that, contrary to naive expectation, the gauge structure or Berry connection recently found in slowly varying quantum systems gives rise to observable effects even for noncyclic evolutions corresponding to open paths in parameter space. We propose to test such effects in muon spin ...Adiabatic phases; Noncyclic evolution; Eigenstates1988-12
41 Miller, Jan D.Thermogravimetric/Mass spectrometric (TG/MS) characterization of toner particles from photocopied wastepaper and the impact of these features on flotation deinkingFlotation deinking of photocopies from office waste is known to be much more difficult than the flotation deinking of newsprint. In this regard, research has been undertaken to better understand the phenomena which account for the poor efficiency in the flotation deinking of such office waste.
