Temperature Dependence Of The Normal-Metal Aharonov-Bohm Effect, S. Washburn, C. P. Umbach, R. B. Laibowitz, Richard A. Webb Oct 1985

Temperature Dependence Of The Normal-Metal Aharonov-Bohm Effect, S. Washburn, C. P. Umbach, R. B. Laibowitz, Richard A. Webb

Faculty Publications

The amplitude of h/e periodic oscillations in the magnetoresistance of very small normal-metal (Au) rings, as well as the harmonic h/2e, have been studied as a function of temperature. The amplitudes depend on the temperature T roughly as T-1/2, as expected from the averaging of conduction channels in the absence of inelastic scattering, but may not be entirely consistent with this model. At the lowest T, the size of the fluctuations in the conductance is about ΔG∼e2/h, as predicted recently.

Allocating Consumptive Water Rights In A Riparian Jurisdiction: Defining The Relationship Between Public And Private Interests, Lynda L. Butler Oct 1985

Allocating Consumptive Water Rights In A Riparian Jurisdiction: Defining The Relationship Between Public And Private Interests, Lynda L. Butler

Faculty Publications

Historically, water consumption in the eastern United States has been governed by the common-law riparian doctrine. Fashioned to protect the domestic uses of private individuals in a largely agrarian society, the doctrine is not well suited to today's environment in which the demands of public users have grown enormously. Even in the East, where water has long been abundant, the effects of increased consumption, pollution, and periodic drought have brought the continued viability of the doctrine into question. Professor Butler examines the legal standards which have developed under the riparian doctrine and identifies three principal areas in which the doctrine …

Locus-Specific Detection Of Hla-Dq And -Dr Antigens By Antibodies Against Synthetic N-Terminal Octapeptides Of The Β Chain, Thomas Deufel, Anne Grove, Hans Kofod, Åke Lernmark Sep 1985

Locus-Specific Detection Of Hla-Dq And -Dr Antigens By Antibodies Against Synthetic N-Terminal Octapeptides Of The Β Chain, Thomas Deufel, Anne Grove, Hans Kofod, Åke Lernmark

Faculty Publications

Antibodies against synthetic peptides representing the class-II antigen HLA-DR and -DQ β chain N-terminal sequences were prepared in rabbits. The two octapeptides only share two amino acids and enzyme-linked immuno-assays showed the antisera only to bind to its own antigen. Both peptide antisera detected a 29 kDa component in immunoblots of Raji and AL-34 cell plasma membrane proteins separated by SDS gel electrophoresis. The binding of either N-terminal peptide antiserum was selectively inhibited only by the peptide used as antigen. Indirect immunofluorescence.analysis by flow cytofluorometry showed specific surface immunofluorescence in 1:100-1:1000 dilutions in lymphoblastoid and blood mononucleated cells. In the …

Glycation Of Amino Groups In Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes Sep 1985

Glycation Of Amino Groups In Protein, Nancy G. Watkins, Suzanne R. Thorpe, John W. Baynes

Faculty Publications

Ribonuclease A has been used as a model protein for studying the specificity of glycation of amino groups in protein under physiological conditions (phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, 37 “C). Incubation of RNase with glucose led to an enhanced rate of inactivation of the enzyme relative to the rate of modification of lysine residues, suggesting preferential modification of active site lysine residues. Sites of glycation of RNase were identified by amino acid analysis of tryptic peptides isolated by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography and phenylboronate affinity chromatography. Schiff base adducts were trapped with Na- BH&N and the a-amino group of Lys-1 …

The Gospel And Feminism: A Proposal For Lutheran Dogmatics, Lois E. Malcolm Jul 1985

The Gospel And Feminism: A Proposal For Lutheran Dogmatics, Lois E. Malcolm

Faculty Publications

The aim of this essay is to identify the theological, and deeply Christian, point of resonance between Lutheran and feminist theologies. It begins with a brief overview of themes in Christian feminist theologies; it then offers rationale and recommendations for why and how Lutheran dogmatics should critically engage feminist perspectives so that it can better serve the task of assisting Christians in their proclamation of the promise in Jesus’ gospel.

A Generalized Molien Function For Field Theoretical Hamiltonians, Jeffrey W. Felix, Dorian M. Hatch Jul 1985

A Generalized Molien Function For Field Theoretical Hamiltonians, Jeffrey W. Felix, Dorian M. Hatch

Faculty Publications

A generating function, or Molien function, the coefficients of which give the number of independent polynomial invariants in G, has been useful in the Landau and renormalization group theories of phase transitions. Here a generalized Molien function for a field theoretical Hamiltonian (with short-range interactions) of the most general form invariant in a group G is derived. This form is useful for more general renormalization group calculations. Its Taylor series is calculated to low order for the FGamma-2 representation of the space group R[3 bar]c and also for the l=1 (faithful) representation of SO(3).

High Discharge Rate Characteristics Of Nickel-Cadmium Batteries For Pulse Load Filtering, Gregory M. Gearing, Michael B. Cimino, David H. Fritts, John F. Leonard, Anthony J. Terzuoli Jr. Jul 1985

High Discharge Rate Characteristics Of Nickel-Cadmium Batteries For Pulse Load Filtering, Gregory M. Gearing, Michael B. Cimino, David H. Fritts, John F. Leonard, Anthony J. Terzuoli Jr.

Faculty Publications

Several tests of specially fabricated nickel-cadmium batteries having circular disk type electrodes were considered. These batteries were evaluated as filter elements between a constant current power supply and a five hertz pulsed load demanding approximately twice the power supply current during the load on portion of the cycle. Short tests lasting 10,000 cycles were conducted at up to a 21 C rate and an equivalent energy density of over 40 Joules per pound. In addition, two batteries were subjected to 107 charge/discharge cycles, one at a 6.5 C rate and the other at a 13 C rate. Assuming an …

Observation Of H/E Aharonov-Bohm Oscillations In Normal-Metal Rings, Richard A. Webb, S. Washburn, C. P. Umbach, R. B. Laibowitz Jun 1985

Observation Of H/E Aharonov-Bohm Oscillations In Normal-Metal Rings, Richard A. Webb, S. Washburn, C. P. Umbach, R. B. Laibowitz

Faculty Publications

Magnetoresistance oscillations periodic with respect to the flux h/e have been observed in submicron-diameter Au rings, along with weaker h/2e oscillations. The h/e oscillations persist to very large magnetic fields. The background structure in the magnetoresistance was not symmetric about zero field. The temperature dependence of both the amplitude of the oscillations and the background are consistent with the recent theory by Stone.

Effects Of Dissipation And Temperature On Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling, S. Washburn, Richard A. Webb, R. F. Voss, S. M. Faris Jun 1985

Effects Of Dissipation And Temperature On Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling, S. Washburn, Richard A. Webb, R. F. Voss, S. M. Faris

Faculty Publications

Measurements of the tunneling rate Γ out of the zero-voltage state for several Nb edge junctions with differing shunt capacitances are described. At zero temperature, increasing the shunt capacitance lowers Γ in agreement with dissipative calculations of the macroscopic-quantum-tunneling rate. As temperature increases, ln[Γ(T)/Γ(0)]∝T2 as recently predicted.

The Azido[14C]Atrazine Photoaffinity Technique Labels A 34-Kda Protein In Scenedesmus Which Functions On The Oxidizing Side Of Photosystem Ii, James G. Metz, Terry M. Bricker, Michael Seibert Jun 1985

The Azido[14C]Atrazine Photoaffinity Technique Labels A 34-Kda Protein In Scenedesmus Which Functions On The Oxidizing Side Of Photosystem Ii, James G. Metz, Terry M. Bricker, Michael Seibert

Faculty Publications

We have used azido[14C]atrazine to photoaffinity label thylakoids from wild-type (WT) Scenedesmus and a mutant, LF-1, which is blocked on the oxidizing side of photosystem II (PS II). One protein is labeled in each case, at 34 kDa in the WT and 36 kDa in LF-1. Previous comparison of the WT with LF-1 had been used to assign a PS II donor side function to the 34-kDa protein. These results suggest that this photoaffinity technique does not label the herbicide-binding protein involved in electron transfer on the reducing side of PS II. © 1985.

Wealth And Migration In Massachusetts And Maine: 1771-1798, John W. Adams, Alice Bee Kasakoff Jun 1985

Wealth And Migration In Massachusetts And Maine: 1771-1798, John W. Adams, Alice Bee Kasakoff

Faculty Publications

We use a genealogical data base to question the idea that the frontier was a "safety valve" for Americans in the years of the founding of the republic. Our findings about the relative wealth of members of nine families show how the frontier affected their migration patterns. We find that it was the middle class, not the poor, who seemed to make best use of the opportunity of the frontier.

Construct Validation Of The Self-Control Schedule, P. Scott Richards Jun 1985

Construct Validation Of The Self-Control Schedule, P. Scott Richards

Faculty Publications

The present paper describes an investigation of the construct validity of the English version of M. Rosenbaum’s Self- Control Schedule (SCS). A total of 121 Brigham Young University students took the SCS and several other measures. t tests were conducted between the Brigham Young University student SCS means and the SCS means of samples from two midwestem universities. Pearson correlations between the SCS, the SCS subscales, Rotter’s I-E scale, the Manifest Anxiety scale, and the Religious Orientation scale were computed. Reliability analyses were conducted on the SCS subscales. The results (a) provide additional normative data about the SCS, (b) further …

Statistical Assumption-Making In Library Collection Assessment: Peccadilloes And Pitfalls, Richard Hacken Jun 1985

Statistical Assumption-Making In Library Collection Assessment: Peccadilloes And Pitfalls, Richard Hacken

Faculty Publications

Assessing library collections in the Semiconductor Age necessarily involves a heavy use of quantitative data. The assumptions made during the process of gathering, manipulating, and reporting library statistics may or may not be valid ones. Objective and vigilant scrutiny, therefore, can make the difference between an assessment that adds to a greater knowledge of the collection and one that only adds greater bulk to The File. Among the areas affected by statistical assumptions are (in lay terms): the sample, the survey, the percentage, the average, the degree of accuracy.

Microbial Degradation Of The Leachable And Lignocellulosic Components Of Leaves And Wood From Rhizophora Mangle In A Tropical Mangrove Swamp, Ronald Benner, Robert E. Hodson May 1985

Microbial Degradation Of The Leachable And Lignocellulosic Components Of Leaves And Wood From Rhizophora Mangle In A Tropical Mangrove Swamp, Ronald Benner, Robert E. Hodson

Faculty Publications

Preparations of uniformly [14C] labeled mangrove leaves and specifically radiolabeled [14C-lignin] lignocelluloses and [14C -polysaccharide]lignocelluloses from mangrove leaves and wood were used in experiments to determine the microbial rates of mineralization of the leachable and lignocellulosic components of mangrove detritus in aerobic and anaerobic sediments of a tropical mangrove swamp. The bulk of the leachable fraction from mangrove leaves was mineralized relatively rapidly and was assimilated into microbial biomass with high efficiency (30 %). In contrast, rates of mineralization of the lignocellulosic component of mangrove leaves and wood were 10fold lower than mineralization rates …

Origin Of The Peaked Structure In The Conductance Of One-Dimensional Silicon Accumulation Layers, Richard A. Webb, A. Hartstein, J. J. Wainer, A. B. Fowler Apr 1985

Origin Of The Peaked Structure In The Conductance Of One-Dimensional Silicon Accumulation Layers, Richard A. Webb, A. Hartstein, J. J. Wainer, A. B. Fowler

Faculty Publications

We have made extensive studies of the temperature, gate voltage, and electric field dependences of the conductance peaks in small silicon inversion layers in order to distinguish between resonant-tunneling models and a hopping model. We find that many of the peaks are consistent only with a hopping model, whereas some could be consistent with an early resonant-tunneling model. None of our structure is consistent with resonant tunneling if the recent formulation of Stone and Lee is correct.

From Balconies To Tanks: Post Junta Civil-Military Relations In Greece, Constantine P. Danopoulos Apr 1985

From Balconies To Tanks: Post Junta Civil-Military Relations In Greece, Constantine P. Danopoulos

Faculty Publications

This article analyzes the reasons why praetorianism in Greece has not been followed by more of the same, as appears to be the case in most states that have experienced military rule. After a careful examination of the available data, it was concluded that having learned their lesson, both the civilian and military elites have played a role in keeping the armed forces away from the levers of political authority, the civilians by following carrot and stick policies designed not to encroach on the military's corporate interests, and the armed forces by accepting the view that they can best protect …
