151 Clayton, Dale H.; Rogers, Alan R.Genetic analysis of lice supports direct contact between modern and archaic humansParasites can be used as unique markers to investigate host evolutionary history, independent of host data. Here we show that modern human head lice, Pediculus humanus, are composed of two ancient lineages, whose origin predates modern Homo sapiens by an order of magnitude (ca. 1.18 million years).Pediculus humanus; Head lice; Molecular phylogeny; Phthirus2004
152 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Order and surface processes in III-V semiconductor alloysSemiconductor alloys have become increasingly useful during the last four decades because, through the use of alloys, the properties of semiconductors can be tailored by varying the composition to precisely match the requirements for specific electronic and photonic devices.Semiconductor alloys; Transmission-electron-diffraction pattern; Organometallic Vaper-phase epitaxy1997
153 Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Zhu, Jing Yi; Liu, FengDual-surfactant effect to enhance p-type doping in III-V semiconductor thin filmsSurfactant effects are usually achieved by the addition of a single surface element. We demonstrate by first-principles calculations a dual-surfactant effect of Sb and H on enhancing Zn doping in organometallic vapor phase epitaxially grown GaP thin films. The combined effects of Sb and H lower sig...Surfactants; p-type doping2008-11
154 Henderson, Thomas C.A systolic array implementation of discrete relaxation algorithmDiscrete Relaxation techniques have proven useful in solving a wide range of problems in digital signal processing, artificial intelligence, machine vision, and VLSI engineering, etc. A conventional hardware design for an 8-label 8-object Discrete Relaxation Algorithm (DRA) requires three 4K memory...Discrete Relaxation algorithm; Systolic array1986

156 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Surface photoabsorption study of the effect of substrate misorientation on ordering in GaInPSubstrate orientation strongly affects Cu-Pt ordering in Ga0.5In0.5P layers grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy.

157 Wu, Yong-ShiTwo-loop analysis of non-Abelian Chern-Simons theoryPerturbative renormalization of a non-Abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory is examined. It is demonstrated by explicit calculation that, in the pure Chern-Simons theory, the & function for the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term vanishes to three-loop order. Both dimensional regularization and regula...Chern-Simons theory; Yang-Mills theory; Regularization1992-12
158 Garrett, Timothy J.Are there basic physical constraints on future anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide?Global Circulation Models (GCMs) provide projections for future climate warming using a wide variety of highly sophisticated anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios as input, each based on the evolution of four emissions "drivers": population p, standard of living g, energy productivity (or efficiency...Global circulation models; Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions2009

160 DeTar, CarletonScalar meson spectroscopy with lattice staggered fermionsWith sufficiently light up and down quarks the isovector (a0) and isosinglet (f0) scalar meson propagators are dominated at large distance by two-meson states. In the staggered-fermion formulation of lattice quantum chromodynamics, taste-symmetry breaking causes a proliferation of two-meson states t...Staggered fermions; Chiral theory2007-11
161 Gopalakrishnan, GaneshImplementing functional programs using mutable abstract data typesWe study the following problem in this paper. Suppose we have a purely functional program that uses a set of abstract data types by invoking their operations. Is there an order of evaluation of the operations in the program that preserves the applicative order of evaluation semantics of the program...Functional programs; Mutable abstract data; Abstract data types1987
162 Roundy, Shadrach J.A cost-effective planar electromagnetic energy harvesting transducerThis paper presents a planar multi-pole electromagnetic energy harvesting transducer.

163 Gu, JunStructured, technology independent VLSI designRapid advancement in new semiconductor technologies has created a need for the design of existing integrated circuits using these new technologies. These new technologies are required to provide improved performance, smaller feature sizes and lower costs. The conversion of an integrated circuit fro...VLSI design; semiconductor technologies1989
164 Mattis, Daniel C.Exact wave functions in superconductivityThe ground-state wave function and some of the excited states of the BCS reduced Hamiltonian are found. In the limit of large volume, the boundary and continuity conditions on the exact wave function lead directly to the equations which Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer found by a variational techniqu...Ground states1961
165 DeTar, CarletonFinite-size and quark mass effects on the QCD spectrum with two flavorsWe have carried out spectrum calculations with two flavors of dynamical Kogut-Susskind quarks on four lattice sizes from 83X24 to 163 X 24 at couplings that correspond to chiral symmetry restoration for a lattice with six time slices. We estimate that the linear spatial sizes of the lattices range f...Kogut-Susskind quarks; Hadron mass; Pion mass1993-11
166 Bhanu, BirSegmentation of images having unimodal distributionsA gradient relaxation method based on maximizing a criterion function is studied and compared to the nonlinear probabilistic relaxation method for the purpose of segmentation of images having unimodal distributions. Although both methods provide comparable segmentation results, the gradient method h...Gradient relaxation method; Image segmentation; Segmentation algorithm1982
167 Mattis, Daniel C.Eigenfunction localization in dilute lattices of various dimensionalitiesAs a fraction of bonds p is removed from a lattice, we find a threshold PQ above which all eigenstates are nonpropagating (Anderson localized). This occurs well before the classical percolation threshold. For example, in two dimensions where the classical threshold is pc = 1/2 , we find PQ = 0.Eigenstates; Dilute lattices1981-05
168 Kessler, Robert R.Persistence is hard, then you die! or compiler and runtime support for a persistent common Lisp.Integrating persistence into an existing programming language is a serious undertaking. Preserving the essence of t h e existing language, adequately supporting persistence, and maintaining efficiency require low-level support from the compiler and runtime systems.

170 White, Nicholas P.Review of J. Moline, "Plato's theory of understandingThe Introduction to this book promises a " synoptic" (p. xi; cf. p. 183) account of Plato's concept (£moi;f]UT|), which Prof. Moline says is the "central integrating concept" of Plato's dialogues (p. ix). The term "synoptic" here appears to mean that the book treats and links problems in such ar...Synoptic; Knowledge; Meaning1983
