Olivera, Baldomero M. | Conus peptides: phylogenetic range of biological activity | The major function of the venoms of the predatory marine snails belonging to the genus Conus is to paralyze prey. Thus, the venom of each Conus species acts on receptors and ion channels of the prey; previous studies suggested much less activity on homologous receptor targets in more distant taxa.... | Conus peptides; Conopeptides; Conotoxins | 1992 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Conus venom peptides, receptor and ion channel targets, and drug design: 50 million years of neuropharmacology | The predatory cone snails (Conus) are among the most successful living marine animals (~500 living species). Each Conus species is a specialist in neuropharmacology, and uses venom to capture prey, to escape from and defend against predators and possibly to deter competitors. An individual cone... | Conotoxins | 1997 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Convexity and exponent inequalities for conduction near percolation | The bulk conductivity o*(p) of the bond lattice in Zd with a fraction p of conducting bonds is analyzed. Assuming a hierarchical node-link-blob (NLB) model of the conducting backbone, it is shown that o*(p) (for this model) is convex in p near the percolation threshold pc, and that its critical expo... | Lattice; Conductivity; Model | 1990 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Convexity in random resistor networks | The bulk conductivity o*(p) of the bond lattice in Zd is considered, where the conductivity of the bonds is either 1 with probability p or e > 0 with probability 1 - p. Rigorous and non-rigorous results demonstrating convexity of o*(p) near the percolation threshold pc are presented. | Conductivity; Bond lattice; Critical exponent t | 1989 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Cooperative and stimulated emission in poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) thin films and solutions | We discuss cooperative and stimulated emissions and separate their respective contributions to the emission spectral narrowing in thin films and solutions of poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) derivatives. Whereas cooperative radiation is favored in films with poor optical confinement, directional stimula... | pi-conjugated polymers; PPV; Spectral narrowing | 1998-04 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Raikh, Mikhail E. | Cooperative emission from a disordered system: a classical model | The effect of disorder on the collective emission from a system of classical oscillators is studied theoretically. Three types of disorder are considered: random orientation of dipole moments, finite spread in frequencies of the individual oscillators (diagonal disorder), and dipole-dipole interacti... | Cooperative emission; Disordered system; Dipole-dipole interaction; Oscillators | 1997 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Cooperative emission in ∏-conjugated polymer thin films | Picosecond dynamics of exciton emission and absorption have been studied in neat thin films of a variety of poly (phenylene vinylene) derivatives. We found that the stimulated emission band of 120 nm width and ~1 ns duration, which is observed at low exciton density n, collapses at n > 1017 cm-3 int... | Pi-conjugated polymers; Poly (phenylene vinylene) derivatives; PPV derivatives; Cooperative emission | 1997-01 |

Goller, Franz | Coordination and synergism between visual and vocal display in the brown-headed cowbirds | Sexually selected acoustic signaling is accompanied by visual displays in many birds. The motor integration of visual and vocal displays has not been extensively studied. Brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) "puff up" prior to song, move their wings during the song and conclude with a bow. The ... | Acoustic signaling; Wing display; Synergistic interaction | 2003 |

Sekercioglu, Cagan | Correlates of elevational specialisation in Southeast Asian tropical birds | The understanding of elevational selectivity in extremely rich tropical biotas is critical to the study of accelerating human-mediated environmental changes (e.g., deforestation and global climate warming). This paper explores the characteristics of Southeast Asian birds that are altitudinal special... | | 2012-01-01 |

Gondolo, Paolo | Cosmic ray positron excess and neutralino dark matter | Using a new instrument, the HEAT Collaboration has confirmed the excess of cosmic ray positrons that they first detected in 1994. We explore the possibility that this excess is due to the annihilation of neutralino dark matter in the galactic halo. We confirm that neutralino annihilation can produ... | Neutralinos; Supersymmetric models; Positron flux; Annihilations | 2002-02 |

Kieda, David B.; Gaisser, Thomas K.; Sokolsky, Pierre | Cosmic-ray composition around 10^18 eV | We use the depth of maximum distribution as measured by the stereo Fly's Eye detector to study the chemical composition of the primary cosmic radiation between 3x 1017 eV and 1019 eV. The analysis depends on the use of simulations to study the response of the detector as well as sensitivity to assum... | Fly's Eye; Cosmic ray composition; Cosmic ray nuclei; Chemical composition | 1993-03 |

Mishchenko, Eugene | Coulomb drag by small momentum transfer between quantum wires | We demonstrate that in a wide range of temperatures Coulomb drag between two weakly coupled quantum wires is dominated by processes with a small interwire momentum transfer. Such processes, not accounted for in the conventional Luttinger liquid theory, cause drag only because the electron dispersion... | Coulomb drag; Quantum wires; Luttinger liquid | 2003-09 |

Carrier, David R. | Coupled evolution of breathing and locomotion as a game of leapfrog | Because the increase in metabolic rate related to locomotor activity places demands on the cardiorespiratory apparatus, it is not surprising that the evolution of breathing and of locomotion are coupled. As the respiratory faculty becomes more refined, increasingly aerobic life strategies can be exp... | Evolution; Coupled evolution; Breathing; Locomotion; Cardiorespiratory apparatus | 2006 |

DeTar, Carleton | Critical behavior at the chiral phase transition | It is generally expected that two-flavor QCD undergoes a high temperature chiral symmetry restoring phase transition at zero quark mass, with O(4) critical behavior[1]. Verifying this expectation is important for understanding the phenomenology of the transition and for facilitating an extrapolation... | Phase transitions; Staggered fermions | 1998-04 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Critical behavior of transport in lattice and continuum percolation models | It has been observed that the critical exponents of transport in the continuum, such as in the Swiss cheese and random checkerboard models, can exhibit nonuniversal behavior, with values different than the lattice case. Nevertheless, it is shown here that the transport exponents for both lattice a... | Ising model; Magnetization; Scaling | 1997 |

Mattis, Daniel C. | Critical curves and thermodynamic phases of lattice fluids and antiferromagnets with structured interactions | We study the classical lattice gas with hard cores, nearest-neighbor repulsive forces, and next-nearest-neighbor attractive forces. We find several thermodynamic phases (vapor, liquid, and solid) and unusually shaped critical curves, yet no critical point or triple point. We find and discuss discont... | Ising antiferromagnet; Molecular field theory | 1971-06 |

Capecchi, Mario R. | Critical role of tissue angiotensin-converting enzyme as revealed by gene targeting in mice | Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) generates the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, which plays a critical role in maintenance of blood pressure in mammals. Although significant ACE activity is found in plasma, the majority of the enzyme is bound to tissues such as the vascular endothelium.

Miller, Joel Steven | Crystal engineering or crystal mysticism? A case study | The de novo design and synthesis of a crystalline motif of a substance is a holy grail for a growing number of organic and inorganic synthetic chemists. Achievement of targeted architectural arrangements is less reliable as the complexity increases. Simple substitution of, for example, alkyl penda... | Synthesis, Structure, Chemistry | 2005 |
