252 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineTransient spectroscopy of excitons and polarons in C60 films from femtosecond to millisecondsWe have studied photoexcitations in C60 films using transient photomodulation and photoluminescence from 100 fs to 50 ms and absorption-detected magnetic resonance (ADMR). We show that singlet Frenkel excitons are the primary photoexcitations; their recombination kinetics in the picosecond time dom...Transient spectroscopy; C60 films; Femtoseconds; Milliseconds1994-11

254 Adler, Frederick R.How virulent should a parasite be to its vector?Vector-borne parasites are commonly predicted to be less virulent to the vector than to the definitive host as the parasite gains little by harming its main route of transmission. Here we assess the empirical evidence from systems in which insects are vectors for vertebrate, plant, and invertebrate ...Parasite virulence; Hosts; Vector-borne parasite2003
255 DeTar, CarletonHeavy-light decay constants - MILC results with the Wilson actionWe present the current status of our ongoing calculations of pseudoscalar meson decay constants for mesons that contain one light and one heavy quark (fB, fBs , fD, fDs ).

256 Wu, Yong-ShiQuantized spin Hall effect in 3He-A and other p-wave paired Fermi systemsIn this paper, we propose the quantized spin Hall effect (SHE) in the vortex state of a rotating p-wave paired Fermi system in an inhomogeneous magnetic field and in a weak periodic potential. It is the three-dimensional extension of the spin Hall effect for a 3He-A superfluid film previously stud...Fermi systems; Spin Hall conductance2008-04
257 Mattis, Daniel C.; Sutherland, BillStrange solutions to field theories in one spatial dimensionMany models of interacting particles rely heavily for their solution on restriction to one-dimensional motion and a linearized kinetic energy. We examine this in detail, and find that the linearization can lead to patently strange and possible spurious solutions in first quantization. The usual, co...Eigenstates; Field theories1981
258 Goller, FranzLow-dimensional dynamical model for the diversity of pressure patterns used in canary songDuring song production, oscine birds produce large air sac pressure pulses. During those pulses, energy is transferred to labia located at the juncture between the bronchii and the trachea, inducing the high frequency labial oscillations which are responsible for airflow modulations, i.e., the utt...Serinus canarias; Air sac pressure2009-04
259 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

261 Keller, Robert M.Denotational models for parallel programs with indeterminate operatorsSeveral approaches to networks of concurrently-operating modules involving indeterminacy are discussed. Techniques for representing the denotational semantics of such networks, and for verifying properties of them, are presented, including an oracle approach, an axiomatic approach, a data-type reduc...Denotational models; Indeterminate operators1977
262 Goller, FranzSynthesizing bird songIn this work we present an electronic syrinx: an analogical integrator of the equations describing a model for sound production by oscine birds. The model depends on time varying parameters with clear biological interpretation: the air sac pressure and the tension of ventral syringeal muscles. We te...Syrinx; Tension; Transducer2005

264 Adler, Frederick R.Genetic and phylogenetic consequences of island biogeographyIsland biogeography theory predicts that the number of species on an island should increase with island size and decrease with island distance to the mainland. These predictions are generally well supported in comparative and experimental studies. These ecological, equilibrium predictions arise as a...Extinction; Genetic divergence; Island isolation; Migration; Speciation2000

269 Wu, Yong-ShiQuantum dynamics and statistics of vortices in two-dimensional superfluidsThe phase change of the wave function of a superfluid film as a vortex moves around a closed path counts the number of superfluid particles enclosed by that path. This result is used to investigate whether such vortices obey "fractional statistics." We conclude that this is not the case in compress...Superfluid films; Vortices; Fractional statistics1985-12
270 Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Raikh, Mikhail E.Universal properties of random lasersThe design and fabrication of laser resonators is often difficult. However, random lasers occur in gain media with numerous scatterers and produce coherent laser emission without any predesigned cavity.
