Gondolo, Paolo | Daily modulation due to channeling in direct dark matter crystalline detectors | The channeling of the ion recoiling after a collision with a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) in direct dark matter crystalline detectors produces a larger scintillation or ionization signal than otherwise expected. Channeling is a directional effect, which depends on the velocity distrib... | | 2011 |

Kopta, Daniel M.; Kensler, Andrew Erin; Spjut, Josef Bo; Brunvand, Erik L.; Davis, Al | Fast, effective BVH updates for dynamic ray-traced scenes using tree rotations | Bounding volume hierarchies are a popular choice for ray tracing animated scenes due to the relative simplicity of refitting bounding volumes around moving geometry. However, the quality of such a refitted tree can degrade rapidly if objects in the scene deform or rearrange significantly as the ... | Ray tracing; Acceleration structures; Bounding volume hierarchies; Tree rotations; Dynamic scenes; Parallel update | 2011 |

Morse, Michael David | Resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy of jet-cooled PdSi | The spectra of diatomic PdSi have been investigated for the first time, using the technique of resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy. A number of vibronic transitions have been observed in the 20 400?22 000 cm?1 range. It is difficult to group the bands into band systems, although one likely... | | 2011 |

Adler, Frederick R. | Plant signalling: The opportunities and dangers of chemical communication | The notion of chemical communication between plants and other organisms has gone from being viewed as a fringe idea to an accepted ecological phenomenon only recently. An Organized Oral Session at the August 2010 Ecological Society of America meeting in Pittsburgh examined the role of plant signall... | | 2011 |

Morse, Michael David | Resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy of jet-cooled OsN: 520?418 nm | The optical transitions of supersonically cooled OsN have been investigated in the range from 19 200 to 23 900 cm?1 using resonant two-photon ionization spectroscopy. More than 20 vibronic bands were observed, 17 of which were rotationally resolved and analyzed. The ground state is confirmed to be 2... | | 2011 |

Morse, Michael David | Electronic structure of the 4 d transition metal carbides: dispersed fluorsecence spectroscopy of MoC, RuC, and PdC | Dispersed fluorescence studies of the diatomic molecules MoC, RuC, and PdC are reported. New states identified in MoC and RuC are the [...]2??12??, ?,??? states and the [...]2??12??, ??? state, respectively. Five states are observed by dispersed fluorescence in PdC. The ground state is found to be [... | | 2011 |

Bordelon, Amanda C. | Flowable fibrous concrete for thin pavement inlays | Synthetic fibers within a flowable fibrous concrete (FFC) mixture were characterized by relating their spatial distribution and orientations, determined from x-ray computed tomography (CT), with the measured toughness or fracture energy response of a FFC specimen. This new type of concrete, FFC, wa... | | 2011 |

Gondolo, Paolo | XENON10/100 dark matter constraints in comparison with CoGeNT and DAMA: Examining the L eff dependence | We consider the compatibility of DAMA/LIBRA, CoGeNT, XENON10 and XENON100 results for spin-independent (SI) dark matter weakly interacting massive particles, particularly at low masses (~10 GeV), assuming a standard dark matter halo. The XENON bounds depend on the scintillation efficiency factor Lef... | | 2011 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Institutions and development: what a difference geography and time make | Ha-Joon Chang, in his article ?Institutions and Economic Development: Theory, Policy, and History?, provides a description and critique of the mainstream view of institutions and development. It applies well to Latin America in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the effort to introduce these Anglo-Americ... | | 2011 |

Dibble, Leland E. | Development of a scale to assess avoidance behavior due to a fear of falling: the fear of falling avoidance behavior questionnaire | Background. A history of falls or imbalance may lead to a fear of falling, which may lead to self-imposed avoidance of activity; this avoidance may stimulate a vicious cycle of deconditioning and subsequent falls. Objective. The purpose of this study was to develop a questionnaire that would quanti... | | 2011 |
