Between 34 and 15 million years (Myr) ago, when planetary temperatures were 3-4°C warmer than at present and atmospheric CO₂ concentrations were twice as high as today, the Antarctic ice sheets may have been unstable. Oxygen isotope records from deep-sea sediment cores suggest that during this time fluctuations in global temperatures and high-latitude continental ice volumes were influenced by orbital cycles. But it has hitherto not been possible to calibrate the inferred changes in ice volume with direct evidence for oscillations of the Antarctic ice sheets. Here we present sediment data from shallow marine cores in the western Ross …

Modeling The Effects Of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta On Extracellular Matrix Alignment In Dermal Wound Repair, J. C. Dallon, J. A. Sherratt, P. K. Maini

Faculty Publications

We present a novel mathematical model for collagen deposition and alignment during dermal wound healing, focusing on the regulatory effects of TGF. Our work extends a previously developed model which considers the interactions between fibroblasts and extracellular matrix, composed of collagen and a fibrin based blood clot, by allowing fibroblasts to orient the collagen matrix, and produce and degrade the extracellular matrix, while the matrix can direct the fibroblasts and control their speed. Here we extend the model by allowing a time varying concentration of TGF to alter the properties of the fibroblasts. Thus we are able to simulate experiments …

Exchange Bias In Fe0.6zn0.4f2 Heterostructures, Christian Binek

Christian Binek Publications

The previous exchange bias field, He, is measured in Fe0.6Zn0.4F2/Fe heterosystems prepared from Fe layers of 14 and 5 nm thickness which are deposited on top of the compensated (1 1 0) surface of the antiferromagnet. Deviations from a linear dependence of He on the magnetization of the Fe layer are attributed to ferromagnetic domains. Moreover, piezomagnetism and its influence on He are evidenced.

Significance Of Test-Based Ratings For Metropolitan Boston Schools, Craig Bolon

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

In 1998 Massachusetts began state-sponsored, annual achievement testing of all students in three public school grades. It has created a school and district rating system for which scores on these tests are the sole factor. It proposes to use tenth-grade test scores as a sole criterion for high school graduation, beginning with the class of 2003. The state is treating scores and ratings as though they were precise educational measures of high significance. A review of tenth-grade mathematics test scores from academic high schools in metropolitan Boston showed that statistically they are not. ...

Highly Plasma Etch-Resistant Photoresist Composition Containing A Photosensitive Polymeric Titania Precursor, Tony D. Flaim, Douglas J. Guerrero, Michelle R. Fowler, William Joseph James, Vladimir Petrovsky, Harlan U. Anderson

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

A composition is derived from an addition polymerizable organotitanium polymer which upon exposure to an oxygen plasma or baking in air, is converted to titanium dioxide (titania) or is converted to a mixed, titanium-containing metal oxide. The metal oxide formed in situ imparts etch- resistant action to a patterned photoresist layer. The composition may also be directly deposited and patterned into permanent metal oxide device features by a photolithographic process.

Mantle Control Of Plate Boundary Deformation, Timothy I. Melbourne, Don Helmberger

Faculty Scholarship for the Cascadia Hazards Institute

The seismic wavefield propagating along the recently instrumented Pacific-North American plate boundary (California) displays remarkable variation, with regional shear waves arriving at coastal stations up to 20 seconds earlier than equidistant stations in eastern California. Broadband modeling of this data reveals that coastal paths sample fast upper mantle typical of Miocene-aged ocean plate (> 50 Km thickness). Inland paths sample slower uppermost mantle, with the seismic lithosphere, or lid, measuring less than 5 Km thick, characteristic of the Basin and Range extensional province. The boundary in the uppermost mantle between these provinces is sharp, expressing the juxtaposition of the stronger …

Determination Of Cabergoline By Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry: Picogram Detection Via Column Focusing Sample Introduction, Bruce A. Kimball, Thomas J. Deliberto, John J. Johnston

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

An electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method was developed for low-picogram detection of an ergot alkaloid, cabergoline, in coyote plasma extracts. Cabergoline is under investigation as an abortifacient in canid species. Central to the successful development of this method was the ability to introduce relatively large sample volumes into the mass spectrometer. This was achieved by focusing the analyte on a conventional high-performance liquid chromatography guard column prior to elution into the spectrometer. Volumes up to at least 900 μL could be injected onto the guard column using a 100% aqueous mobile phase. Cabergoline retained on the column was eluted …

Seawater Temperature Trends At Usa Tide Gauge Sites, George A. Maul, Andria M. Davis, Jeffrey W. Simmons

Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences Faculty Publications

Seawater temperatures have been measured at United States tide gauges throughout most of the 20th century. All available records have been digitized, and the longest 14 have been analyzed by linear least-square regression. The largest positive trend is from Boston MA (+3.6 ± 0.4°C per century), and the largest negative trend is at Charleston SC (-0.1 ± 0.3°C per century). No consistent latitudinal or eastcoast vs. west-coast patterns are discernable, but air temperature trends are typically greater than seawater changes.

Magnetic Nanodot Arrays Produced By Direct Laser Interference Lithography, M. Zheng, M. Yu, Yi Liu, Ralph Skomski, Sy_Hwang Liou, David J. Sellmyer, V.N. Petryakov, Yu K. Verevkin, N.I. Polushkin, N. N. Salashchenko

Sy-Hwang Liou Publications

Periodic magnetic nanodot arrays have been produced on an area as large as 1 cm×1 cm by direct nanolithography using interferometric laser radiation. The dots are formed by the local annealing of sputtered amorphous Co–C films in regions where the laser intensity is highest. At room temperature the dots exhibit ferromagnetic order and are embedded in a paramagnetic matrix. The onset of room-temperature ferromagnetism is caused by nanoscale chemical and morphological changes during dot formation and reflects the phase separation of magnetic Co-rich clusters. The present single-step nanolithography is potentially an efficient method for fabrication of patterned magnetic arrays.

Mapping Of The Bethe Surface In Single-Ionization Ion-Atom Collisions, Ronald E. Olson, J. Fiol

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The three-body Coulomb problem is explored using classical-trajectory Monte Carlo and continuum distorted-wave methods that include all interactions, including the nuclear-nuclear term. Calculations for low-energy electron emission as a function of projectile deflection, the Bethe surface, are compared with experiment for single ionization of He by 100 MeVu^-1 C⁶⁺ and 3.6 MeV ^u-1 Au⁵³⁺. Good agreement is realized for the C⁶⁺ system. For Au⁵³⁺ poor agreement with experiment is obtained, indicating that the proposed lack of the nuclear-nuclear interaction is not the source of the discrepancy. The calculations further show that significant cross sections …

Structural Evidence That The Methionyl Aminopeptidase From Escherichia Coli Is A Mononuclear Metalloprotease, Nathaniel J. Cosper, Ventris M. D'Souza, Robert A. Scott, Richard C. Holz

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

The Co and Fe K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra of the methionyl aminopeptidase from Escherichia coli (EcMetAP) have been recorded in the presence of 1 and 2 equiv of either Co(II) or Fe(II) (i.e., [Co(II)_(EcMetAP)], [Co(II)Co(II)(EcMetAP)], [Fe(II)_(EcMetAP)], and [Fe(II)Fe(II)(EcMetAP)]). The Fourier transformed data of both [Co(II)_(EcMetAP)] and [Co(II)Co(II)(EcMetAP)] are dominated by a peak at ca. 2.05 Å, which can be fit assuming 5 light atom (N,O) scatterers at 2.04 Å. Attempts to include a Co−Co interaction (in the 2.4−4.0 Å range) in the …

Deformations Of The Fermion Realization Of The Sp(4) Algebra And Its Subalgebras, K. D. Sviratcheva, A. I. Georgieva, V. G. Gueorguiev, J. P. Draayer, M. I. Ivanov

Faculty Publications

With a view towards future applications in nuclear physics, the fermion realization of the compact symplectic sp(4) algebra and its q-deformed versions are investigated. Three important reduction chains of the sp(4) algebra are explored in both the classical and deformed cases. The deformed realizations are based on distinct deformations of the fermion creation and annihilation operators. For the primary reduction, the su(2) substructure can be interpreted as either the spin, isospin or angular momentum algebra, whereas for the other two reductions su(2) can be associated with pairing between fermions of the same type or pairing between two distinct fermion types. …
