Did melting glaciers cause volcanic eruptions in eastern California? Probing the mechanics of dike formation
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2004-09)
Space-charge-limited flows in the quantum regime
(The American Institute of Physics, 2006-05)
This paper reviews the recent developments of space-charge-limited (SCL) flow or Child-Langmuir (CL) law in the quantum regime. According to the classical CL law for planar diodes, the current density scales as 3/23∕2’s ...
Ultrasound detection using polymer microring optical resonator
(The American Institute of Physics, 2004-11-29)
Application of polymer waveguide microring resonators for high-frequency ultrasound detection is presented. The device consists of a microring optical resonator coupled to a straight optical waveguide which serves as input ...
Biochemical sensors based on polymer microrings with sharp asymmetrical resonance
(The American Institute of Physics, 2003-08-25)
Photonic microresonators have great potential in the application of highly sensitive sensors due to high Q-factor resonances and steep slopes between zero and unity transmission. A microring resonator with increased resonance ...
Nanoscale thermal transport
(The American Institute of Physics, 2003-01-15)
Rapid progress in the synthesis and processing of materials with structure on nanometer length scales has created a demand for greater scientific understanding of thermal transport in nanoscale devices, individual ...
Chemical Reagents for Investigating the Major Groove of DNA
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Oxford University Press, 2001-07)
Chemical modification provides an inexpensive and rapid method for characterizing the structure of DNA and its association with drugs and proteins. Numerous conformation‐specific probes are available, but most investigations ...
Congruent Avian Phylogenies Inferred from Mitochondrial and Nuclear DNA Sequences
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2003-07)
Recent molecular studies addressing the phylogenetic relationships of avian orders have had conflicting results. While studies using nuclear DNA sequences tend to support traditional taxonomic views, also supported by ...
The effect of salinity on the growth rate of Zizania palustris in controlled and natural settings
(2008)
We compared the growth rate of wild rice, Zizania Palustris, in varying concentrations of road salt—0 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 500 mg/L, 1000 mg/L, 3000 mg/L, and 5000 mg/L. Then, we conducted two experiments, one in a controlled ...
A model of flow and surfactant transport in an oscillatory alveolus partially filled with liquid
(The American Institute of Physics, 2005-03)
The flow and transport in an alveolus are of fundamental importance to partial liquid ventilation, surfactant transport, pulmonary drug administration, cell-cell signaling pathways, and gene therapy. We model the system ...
