151 Davidson, Diane W.Herbivory on planted dipterocarp seedlings in secondary logged forests and primary forests of Sabah, MalaysiaLeaf defences, leaf nutritional quality and leaf expansion rates may vary with resource availabilities to plants. Such variation could affect rates of leaf loss to herbivores, particularly along the steep resource gradients in disturbed forests. Intraspecific and interspecific variation in leaf dama...Danum Valley; Dipterocarp; Dryobalanops lanceolata; Herbivory rates; Leaf damage; Leaf expansion rates; Logged tropical forests; Secondary forests; Shorea leprosula2001-03
152 Gondolo, PaoloImplications of muon anomalous magnetic moment for supersymmetric dark matterThe anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has recently been measured to be in conflict with the standard model prediction with an excess of 2.6s. Taking the excess at face value as a measurement of the supersymmetric contribution, we find that at 95% confidence level it imposes an upper bound of 50...Magnetic moment; Neutralinos2001-05
153 Chachas, MaryIn Keith Barney's territory, it's what you can do that countsOne of eight children, Barney remembers that he was very lonely and somewhat sad during his hospital stay. "Nobody sat me down and told me I was paralyzed," he recalled. "They were ambiguous with the information they gave me and sort of let me figure it out by myself. At 14, I wanted to believe one ...Rehabilitation Therapy; Wheelchairs; Sports2001-09

155 DeTar, CarletonLattice results for the decay constant of heavy-light vector mesonsWe compute the leptonic decay constants of heavy-light vector mesons in the quenched approximation. The reliability of lattice computations for heavy quarks is checked by comparing the ratio of vector to pseudoscalar decay constant with the prediction of heavy quark effective theory in the limit o...Heavy quark effective theory; Wilson quarks2001-12
156 Gondolo, PaoloMeasurement of the gluon parton distribution function at small x with neutrino telescopesWe analyze the possibility that neutrino telescopes may provide an experimental determination of the slope λ of the gluon distribution in the proton at momentum fractions x smaller than the accelerator reach. The method is based on a linear relation between λ and the spectral index (slope) of th...Neutrino telescopes; Charm2001-01
157 Sample, SusanMore than meets the eyeIf you depend only upon your eyes, you won't see what's really going on in a research lab-even in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, where the focus is on understanding vision. "You don't really see with the eye," said Jennifer S. Lund, Ph.D., professor of ophthalmology at the Un...Vision; Molecular Biology; Eye2001-09
158 Landesman, Margaret M.Multi-volume reference sets-have they a futureFor the past few years, I've felt badly about the sales representatives from major microform publishers who come to visit hoping to sell microform collections to the library. It seems a cruel thing for a publisher to do - to send a representative out in this day and budget to pitch microfilm to libr...Libraries; Collection development; Reference resources2001-11
159 Baehr, Wolfgang; Frederick, Jeanne M.; Church-Kopish, Jill; Howes, KimberlyMutant rhodopsin transgene expression on a null backgroundPURPOSE. To study mechanisms leading to photoreceptor degeneration in mouse models for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) based on the rhodopsin P23H mutation. METHODS. Mice of a transgenic line expressing a rhodopsin triple mutant, V20G, P23H, and P27L (GHL), were mated with rhodopsin (...Mutant Rhodopsin; Photoreceptor Degeneration; Autosomal Dominant Retinitis Pigmentosa; Rhodopsin2001-03
160 Wu, Yong-ShiNanoscale magnetic-domain structure in colossal magnetoresistance islandsMagnetic force microscopy reveals the nature of local magnetic structure in submicron islands of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) thin films. The evolution of domains in a magnetic field reveals the importance of shape anisotropy as well as magnetostriction in determining the micromagnetics in suc...Magnetic domain; Colossal magnetoresistance islands2001-11
161 Gondolo, PaoloOn the direct detection of extragalactic weakly interacting massive particlesWe consider the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) reaching the Earth from outside the Milky Way. If these WIMPs form a distinct population they will, although of much lower flux than typical galactic halo WIMPs, have a number of features which might aid in their ulti...Extragalactic WIMPs; Weakly interacting massive particles2001-10
162 Wu, Yong-ShiOne-loop shift in noncommutative Chern-Simons couplingIn this paper we study the one-loop shift in the coupling constant in a noncommutative pure U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory in three dimensions. The one-loop shift is shown to be a constant proportional to N, independent of noncommutativity parameters, and non-vanishing for U(1) theory. Possible phy...2001-01
163 Gerton, JordanPhotoassociative frequency shift in a quantum degenerate gasA light-induced frequency shift is observed in single-photon photoassociative spectra of magnetically trapped, quantum degenerate 7Li. The shift is a manifestation of the coupling between the threshold continuum scattering states and discrete bound levels in the excited-state molecular potential in...2001-10
164 Vardeny, Zeev ValentinePhotoexcitation dynamics in regioregular and regiorandom polythiophene filmsUsing a variety of optical probes techniques we studied the photoexcitation dynamics in thin films of poly-3-hexyl thiophene with regioregular order that forms lamellae structures with increased interchain interaction, as well as regiorandom order that keeps a chainlike morphology. In regiorandom fi...Photoexcitation dynamics; Regio-regular; Regio-random; Polythiophene films2001-11
165 DeTar, CarletonQCD spectrum with three quark flavorsWe present results from a lattice hadron spectrum calculation using three flavors of dynamical quarks - two light and one strange-and quenched simulations for comparison. These simulations were done using a one-loop Symanzik improved gauge action and an improved Kogut-Susskind quark action. The lat...Dynamical quarks2001-08
166 Wu, Yong-ShiRemarks on noncommutative open string theory: V duality and holographyIn this paper we study the interplay of electric and magnetic backgrounds in determining the decoupling limit of coincident D branes towards a noncommutative Yang-Mills (NCYM) or open string (NCOS) theory. No decoupling limit has been found for the NCYM model with space-time noncommutativity. It i...Hubbard operator; Bosonization; Deformation; t-J model2001-03

170 Liu, FengSelf-assembly of two-dimensional islands via strain-mediated coarseningWe demonstrate two distinctive effects of strain-induced island-island interaction on island size and spatial distribution during coarsening of 2D islands. When coarsening proceeds via only mass transport between islands, the interaction broadens the island size distribution, leading to a power-law...Two-dimensional islands; Strain-mediated coarsening2001-08
171 Landesman, Margaret M.Sense and sensibilitySense and Sensibility column: "Some publishers produce superior products at low prices. Some produce mediocre products at low prices. And some produce superior products at high prices. And so forth. It has always been this way as far as I know. So why is it that librarians of late seem to leap from ...Acquisitions; Vendors; Publishers; Publisher packages2001-04
172 Liu, FengSimple generic method for predicting the effect of strain on surface diffusionWe show, by first-principles calculations, that the effect of external strain on surface diffusion is inherently correlated with the intrinsic surface stress induced by the adatom along its diffusion pathways. We demonstrate a simple generic method for a priori predicting quantitatively how an ext...Surface diffusion; First-principles calculations; Adatoms2001-11
