Battin, Margaret P. | Letter to the editor why the slippery slope isn't slippery: a reply to Walter M. Weber on the right to die | Walter M. Weber's remarks present a brief but revealing exposition of the right-to-life argument against legal recognition of the "right to die." I say "revealing" because while these remarks p[resent the conservative view perhaps as clearly as it has been set forth so far, they exhibit particularly... | 1988 | |

Mattis, Daniel C. | Mattis and Pan reply | After several independent calculations failed to confirm our published1 numbers on the ground-state energy of the s = 1/2 antiferromagnet in two dimensions, we checked our computer programs and found some deplorable errors introduced in proceeding from one dimension to two. | Ground-state energy; Antiferromagnets; Long-range order | 1988 |

Williams, Clayton C. | Measurement of in-plane magnetization by force microscopy | We present data which show that the magnetic force microscope is capable of detecting the component of the magnetic field parallel to the surface of a sample under study. Images of bits in a Co-alloy thin-film disk and of laser-written bits in a TbFe film were taken with a magnetized tip tilted at ... | Co-alloy disc; Magnetization | 1988 |

McDaniel, Susan | Medical culture and health politics: the Ontario debate | The 1986 doctors' strike in Ontario brought into stark relief many of the issues that have been latent in Canadian health politics for several decades. In this paper, an analysis from a sociological perspective is offered of the issues involved in the 1986 doctors' strike. Issues are discussed i... | 1988 | |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Nash estimates and the asymptotic behavior of diffusions | In order to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a particle diffusing in a drift field derived from a smooth bounded potential, we develop Nash-type a priori estimates on the transition density of the process. As an immediate consequence of the estimates, we find that for a rapidly decaying potential... | Potentials; Transition; Divergence | 1988 |

Ailion, David Charles | NMR lineshapes and order parameter determination in proton pseudo-spin glasses | The quadrupole-perturbed NMR line shape has been evaluated in the local approximation for an arbitrary static random-field distribution coexisting with Gaussian time-fluctuating random fields. The special case of a spin-glass-type static local random-field distribution is treated also.

Horch, Kenneth W.; Normann, Richard A. | Noble metal penetrating cortical stimulating electrode array: preliminary results | Electrical stimulation of the visual cortex causes subjects to see spots of light (phosphenes) in their visual fields. We have developed arrays of penetrating electrodes which may from the basis of a visual prosthesis centered around electrical stimulation of the visual cortex. These arrays have bee... | Visual prosthesis | 1988 |

Williams, Clayton C. | Noise reduction technique for scanning tunneling microscopy | Noise stemming from mechanical vibration, electronic noise, or low frequency (l / f power spectrum) inherent in the tunneling process, often limits the resolution, speed, or range of application of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We demonstrate a technique for minimizing the effect of these noi... | Noise reduction; Dithering; Graphite | 1988 |

McDaniel, Susan | Older women: their quest for justice and peace | Myths, misconceptions and stereotypes about women and about older people combine in ways that prevent us from noticing some promising new developments in the quest for justice and peace. A popular stereotype sees the person working toward peace and justice as youthful, and significantly, often male.... | Women; Peace; Justice | 1988 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Ehrenfreund, Eitan A. | Optically detected magnetic resonance study of recombination mechanisms in polythiophene | From detailed optically detected magnetic resonance measurements in polythiophene, we show that the g=2.003 signal is luminescence enhancing, and that the signal comes from a broad photoluminescence band peaking near 1.65 eV. This band is tentatively assigned to the radiative recombination of polaro... | Recombination mechanisms | 1988 |

Seger, Jon | Parasites and sex | Parasites of many kinds have long been recognized as important regulators of population size (e.g., May, 1983b), but only during the last decade or two have they been widely viewed as the protagonists in fast-paced (and long-running) evolutionary thrillers involving subtle features of the biochemis... | Cost of sex | 1988 |

Hughes, Kelly T. | Phase variation in Salmonella: analysis of Hin recombinase and hix recombination site interaction in vivo | The bacteriophage P22-based challenge phase selection was used to characterize the binding of Salmonella Hin recombinase to the wild-type hixL and hixR recombination sites, as well as to mutant and synthetic hix sequences in vivo. Hin recombinase binds to the hixL or hixR recombination sites and rep... | 1988 | |
