176 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
177 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. The generation of coherent emission from multiple scattering is quite general and its basic prin...Random lasers; Laser resonators; pi-conjugated polymers; Rhodamine-TiO2 suspensions; Random media; Random lasing2003-01
178 Wu, Yong-ShiScale and conformal invariance in Chern-Simons-matter field theoryWe study perturbative renormalization of Dsss3 Chern-Simons gauge theory coupled to scalar and fermionic matter. We show that in the non-Abelian case the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term has infinite renormalization and that both the matter and the non-Abelian gauge fields acquire nonvanishing ...Chern-Simons gauge theory; Renormalization1991-09
179 DeTar, CarletonQCD thermodynamics with an improved lattice actionWe have investigated QCD with two flavors of degenerate fermions using the Symanzik-improvement program for both the gauge and fermion actions.

180 Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R.Location of crossovers during gene targeting with insertion and replacement vectors.Gene targeting was used to introduce nonselectable genetic changes into chromosomal loci in mouse embryo-derived stem cells. The nonselectable markers were linked to a selectable marker in both insertion- and replacement-type vectors, and the transfer of the two elements to the Hprt locus was assaye...Genetic Vectors; Molecular Sequence Data; Restriction Mapping1993-04

186 Ehleringer, James R. ; Cerling, Thure E.Aberrant water homeostasis detected by stable isotope analysisWhile isotopes are frequently used as tracers in investigations of disease physiology (i.e., 14C labeled glucose), few studies have examined the impact that disease, and disease-related alterations in metabolism, may have on stable isotope ratios at natural abundance levels. The isotopic composition...2010-07-21
187 Sperry, John S.Xylem hydraulics and the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum: opportunities and unresolved issuesReceived for publication July 23, 2002. Soil and xylem are similar hydraulically. An unsaturated conductivity curve for soil is called a vulnerability curve for xylem?but the underlying physical basis is the same. Thus, any transport model that treats unsaturated soil conductivity would benefit by a...Soil?plant?atmosphere continuum; Water potential2003
188 Lupton, John MarkTime-gated electroluminescence spectroscopy of polymer light-emitting diodes as a probe of carrier dynamics and trappingWe present time-gated electroluminescence (EL) spectroscopy of a polyfluorene-based conjugated polymer. The technique is shown to be sensitive enough to pick out impurity emission orders of magnitude weaker than the cw emission. By considering the temperature dependence of the delayed emission spect...Time-gated electroluminescence spectroscopy; Carrier dynamics; Trapping; Delayed emission2002-04

190 Capecchi, Mario R.Hoxa1 lineage-tracing indicates a direct role for Hoxa1 in development of the inner ear, the heart and the third rhombomereLoss of Hoxa1 function results in severe defects of the brainstem, inner ear and cranial ganglia in humans and mice as well as cardiovascular abnormalities in humans. Since Hoxa1 is expressed very transiently during an early embryonic stage, it has been difficult to determine whether Hoxa1 plays a d...Hoxa1; Inner ear; Third rhombomere; Hindbrain; Hoxa1-IRES-Cre mouse; Embryonic development; Lineage-tracing2010
191 Gondolo, PaoloFluid interpretation of Cardassian expansionA fluid interpretation of Cardassian expansion is developed. Here, the Friedmann equation takes the form H2=g(ρM) where ρM contains only matter and radiation ~no vacuum!. The function g(ρM) returns to the usual 8πM /(3mpl 2 ) during the early history of the Universe, but takes a different form...Cardassian expansion; Friedmann equation2003-09

195 Symko, Orest GeorgeSpin freezing below the nearest-neighbor percolation concentration in Cd1-xMnxTe and Cd1-xMnxSeThe very-low-temperature magnetization of Cdi_xMnxTe and Cdj-xMnxSe alloys shows spinglass behavior for concentrations below the nearest-neighbor percolation limit. This is attributed to short-range exchange and dipolar interactions. New magnetic phase diagrams for both systems are presented.Spin freezing; Cd1-xMnxTe; Cd1-xMnxSe; Very-low-temperature magnetization; Spin-glass behavior1986-05
