Perspectives Of Giant Magnetoresistance, Evgeny Y. Tsymbal, David G. Pettifor
Perspectives Of Giant Magnetoresistance, Evgeny Y. Tsymbal, David G. Pettifor
Evgeny Tsymbal Publications
Giant magnetoresistance (GMR) is one of the most fascinating discoveries in thin-film magnetism, which combines both tremendous technological potential and deep fundamental physics. Within a decade of GMR being discovered in 1988 commercial devices based on this phenomenon, such as hard-disk read-heads, magnetic field sensors and magnetic memory chips, had become available in the market. These achievements would not have been possible without a detailed understanding of the physics of GMR, which requires a quantum-mechanical insight into the electronic spin-dependent transport in magnetic structures.

The Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery In The U.S.And Canada: A Natural Experiment In Fisheries Management Regimes, Robert Repetto
The Atlantic Sea Scallop Fishery In The U.S.And Canada: A Natural Experiment In Fisheries Management Regimes, Robert Repetto
Yale School of the Environment Publications Series
The Atlantic sea scallop fisheries in the U.S. and Canadian offshore waters provide a natural experiment in fisheries management regimes. Starting in 1986, in side by side areas of George’s Bank, Canada adopted a rights-based approach while the U.S. continued with effort controls. Analysis of their experiences shows that the resource has been better maintained in Canada with lower fishing effort, that the Canadian fishing industry has become more prosperous and innovative relative to that in the U.S., and that the Canadian co-management regime is more cooperative. These results suggest that systematic evaluation of actual experience with rights-based fishery management …
Extended Powers Of Manifolds And The Adams Spectral Sequence, Robert R. Bruner
Extended Powers Of Manifolds And The Adams Spectral Sequence, Robert R. Bruner
Mathematics Faculty Research Publications
The extended power construction can be used to create new framed manifolds out of old. We show here how to compute the effect of such operations in the Adams spectral sequence, extending partial results of Milgram and the author. This gives the simplest method of proving that Jones’ 30-manifold has Kervaire invariant one, and allows the construction of manifolds representing Mahowald’s classes η4 and η5, among others.

Interfering Solutions Of A Nonhomogeneous Hamiltonian System, Gregory S. Spradlin
Interfering Solutions Of A Nonhomogeneous Hamiltonian System, Gregory S. Spradlin
Greg S. Spradlin Ph.D.
A Hamiltonian system is studied which has a term approaching a constant at an exponential rate at infinity. A minimax argument is used to show that the equation has a positive homoclinic solution. The proof employs the interaction between translated solutions of the corresponding homogeneous equation. What distinguishes this result from its few predecessors is that the equation has a nonhomogeneous nonlinearity.

N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Channel And Consciousness: From Signal Coincidence Detection To Quantum Computing, Armando F. Rocha, Alfredo Pereira Jr
Armando F Rocha
Research on Blindsight, Neglect/Extinction and Phantom limb syndromes, as well as electrical measurements of mammalian brain activity, have suggested the dependence of vivid perception on both incoming sensory information at primary sensory cortex and reentrant information from associative cortex. Coherence between incoming and reentrant signals seems to be a necessary condition for (conscious) perception. General reticular activating system and local electrical synchronization are some of the tools used by the brain to establish coarse coherence at the sensory cortex, upon which biochemical processes are coordinated. Besides electrical synchrony and chemical modulation at the synapse, a central mechanism supporting such a …

Significance Of The Sagnac Effect, Pal R. Molnar
Significance Of The Sagnac Effect, Pal R. Molnar
Pal R. Molnar
During the historical development, the notions of electrodynamics and the theory light have become complicated complexes of concepts [1]. And what is more, nowadays they are wholly confused. The laws of electrodynamics in present form are not valid in rotating and deforming systems [2]. These turbulent notion-complexes -of which inadequacy to the inner connections are verified by experiments, measurements results, as well as certain electrodynamical states and processes- have to be broken open, disintegrated, then disjoined. Henceforth, we must search those genuine, pure and simple electrodynamical ideas, which can already join in the immanent natural well and adequate manner. Consequently, …

Probabilities Of Transition Among Health States For Older Adults, Paula Diehr
Probabilities Of Transition Among Health States For Older Adults, Paula Diehr
Paula Diehr
GOAL: To estimate the probabilities of transition among self-rated health states for older adults, and examine how they vary by age and sex. METHODS: We used self-rated health (excellent, very good, good, fair, poor, dead) collected in two longitudinal studies of older adults (mean age 75) to estimate the probability of transition in 2 years. We used the estimates to project future health for selected cohorts. FINDINGS: These older adults were most likely to be in the same health state 2 years later, but a substantial proportion changed in both directions. Transition probabilities varied by initial health state, age and …

DESIGN: "Event cohort," measuring time in months before and after the event. SETTING: Four U.S. communities. PARTICIPANTS: 5888 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), sampled from Medicare rolls and followed up to 8 years. Mean age at baseline was 73. MEASUREMENTS: Self-rated health, including a category for death, assessed at 6-month intervals, and ascertainment of events. METHODS: We examined the percentage that was healthy …
Testing For Asymmetry In Economic Time Series Using Bootstrap Methods, Claudio Lupi, Patrizia Ordine
Testing For Asymmetry In Economic Time Series Using Bootstrap Methods, Claudio Lupi, Patrizia Ordine
Claudio Lupi
In this paper we show that phase-scrambling bootstrap offers a natural framework for asymmetry testing in economic time series. A comparison with other bootstrap schemes is also sketched. A Monte Carlo analysis is carried out to evaluate the size and power properties of the phase-scrambling bootstrap-based test.
Mathematical Aspects Of Oriental Carpets, Carol Bier
Mathematical Aspects Of Oriental Carpets, Carol Bier
Carol Bier
The mathematical principles of pattern making according to symmetrical repetition are well-known today, but the mathematical aspects of pattern formation have been glossed over in the study of Oriental carpets, or neglected in favor of either an appreciation of color and form or a discussion of social and ethnic origins. This article seeks to address several mathematical aspects of Oriental carpets, which are both integral to their form and manifest in their visual make-up.

Mixture Hazards Models With Additive Random Effects Accounting For Treatment Effectiveness Lag Time, Ying Qing Chen, C. A. Rohde, M.-C. Wang
Mixture Hazards Models With Additive Random Effects Accounting For Treatment Effectiveness Lag Time, Ying Qing Chen, C. A. Rohde, M.-C. Wang
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
In many clinical trials to evaluate treatment efficacy, it is believed that there may exist latent treatment effectiveness lag times after which medical treatment procedure or chemical compound would be in full effect. In this article, semiparametric regression models are proposed and studied for estimating the treatment effect accounting for such latent lag times. The new models take advantage of the invariance property of the additive hazards model in marginalising over an additive latent variable; parameters in the models are thus easily estimated and interpreted, while the flexibility of not having to specify the baseline hazard function is preserved. Monte …

Phylogeographic Analysis Of The Threatened And Endangered Superconglutinate-Producing Mussels Of The Genus Lampsilis (Bivalvia: Unionidae), Kevin J. Roe, Charles Lydeard, Paul D. Hartfield
Kevin J. Roe
Several species of freshwater unionid mussels in the genus Lampsilis exhibit a remarkable reproductive strategy. Female mussels of these species enclose their larvae in a minnow-like lure, called a ‘superconglutinate’, to attract piscivorous fishes. When a fish attempts to ingest the superconglutinate the lure ruptures and the larvae are released to parasitize the fish. Of the four species of mussel which exhibit this strategy and are endemic to the Gulf Coast drainages of the southeastern United States, three are protected under the Endangered Species Act, and one is recognized as imperilled. Phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial 16S …
Long Recurrence Records From The Wasatch Fault Zone, Utah, James P. Mccalpin
Long Recurrence Records From The Wasatch Fault Zone, Utah, James P. Mccalpin
James P. McCalpin
The Wasatch fault "megatrench" was excavated in September 1999 across two fault scarps totaling 18 meters high on the Salt Lake City segment of the Wasatch fault zone (WFZ). The purpose of the megatrench was to date a long series of consecutive earthquakes (8-12 events?) on the WFZ and measure the variability of recurrence times between the events.This variability could then be used in calculating the future probability of large earthquakes on the WFZ. The trench was located 1 km north of the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, at an elevation of 1525 m, between the Bonneville highstand (ca. 17.5 …
Paleoseismicity Of Quaternary Faults Near Albuquerque, New Mexico: The Zia Fault, James P. Mccalpin
Paleoseismicity Of Quaternary Faults Near Albuquerque, New Mexico: The Zia Fault, James P. Mccalpin
James P. McCalpin
This study continues USGS-funded efforts to assess the activity and earthquake hazard potential of Quaternary faults in the Albuquerque metropolitan region. Our target in 2000 was the Zia fault, a 37 km-long normal fault that trends N-S in northern Llano de Albuquerque (LdA). The Zia fault is one of three major east-dipping normal faults that define the western margin of the Rio Grande rift in the northern Albuquerque basin, the other faults being the Calabacillas fault (to the west of the Zia fault) and the County Dump fault (to the east of the Zia fault) (Machette et al., 1998). In …
Dispersion Of Potassium Nitrate And The Resulting Strong Basicity On Zirconia, Ying Wang, Wenyu Huang, Yuan Chun, Jia Rong Xia, Jian Hua Zhu
Dispersion Of Potassium Nitrate And The Resulting Strong Basicity On Zirconia, Ying Wang, Wenyu Huang, Yuan Chun, Jia Rong Xia, Jian Hua Zhu
Wenyu Huang
A novel solid superbase is derived from zirconia-supported potassium nitrate. Dispersion and decomposition of potassium nitrate on zirconia were investigated and compared with that on alumina to explore the effect of the support on the preparation of solid strong bases. Spontaneous dispersion capacity of KNO3 on ZrO2 was found to be 8.1 K+ nm-2, very close to that of a vacant site on ZrO2. An unusually strong basicity was generated on ZrO2 through decomposition of the loaded KNO3 that began around 613 K, enhancing the catalytic activity of ZrO2 in cis-but-2-ene isomerization at 273 K. Moreover, KNO3/ZrO2 samples, except 34% …
Higher Twist Corrections And Maxima For Dis On A Proton In The High Density Qcd Region, E. Gotsman, Eugene Levin, U. Maor, L. Mclerran, Kirill Tuchin
Higher Twist Corrections And Maxima For Dis On A Proton In The High Density Qcd Region, E. Gotsman, Eugene Levin, U. Maor, L. Mclerran, Kirill Tuchin
Kirill Tuchin
We show that the ratio of different structure functions have a maximum which depends on energy. We argue, using the Golec-Biernat and Wusthoff model as well as the eikonal approach, that these maxima are functions of the saturation scale. We analyze leading and higher twist contributions for different observables to check whether a kinematic region exists where high parton density effects can be detected experimentally.
Synthesis And Characterization Of Potassium-Modified Alumina Superbases, Ying Wang, Jian Hua Zhu, Wenyu Huang
Synthesis And Characterization Of Potassium-Modified Alumina Superbases, Ying Wang, Jian Hua Zhu, Wenyu Huang
Wenyu Huang
Novel solid superbases can be prepared by dispersing potassium salts such as K2CO3 and KHCO3 on alumina followed by thermal treatments. The resulting materials show an extremely high activity in the isomerization of cis-but-2-ene at 0°C and possess base strength of at least H− = + 26.5. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectra of K2CO3 or KHCO3 modified alumina reveal the formation of potassium hydroalumina carbonate, which is the precursor of active species. Decomposition of potassium salts on alumina has been studied by use of thermal gravimetric differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and temperature programmed decomposition-mass spectrometry (TPDE-MS). Two CO2 evolution …
