UNM Gallup Faculty Publications

In the history of thought and creation, the decisive events, the great and significant moments, the strongly affirmative stages - then the imposition of the optimizing novelties - have depended on the name and prestige of a personality. Referring to those, we personalize further on. The examples are extremely numerous, even in our nearest past. When we mention a creation - in the largest sense of the term - with the name of the personality who illustrates it most extensively at a given time, we state precisely the specific importance of it; we give it, with other words, the identity …

Will More Aggressive Marketing Practices Lead To Greater Tort Liability For Prescription Drug Manufacturers?, Richard C. Ausness Jan 2002

Will More Aggressive Marketing Practices Lead To Greater Tort Liability For Prescription Drug Manufacturers?, Richard C. Ausness

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Manufacturers of prescription drugs have begun to market their products more aggressively than they did in the past. These marketing efforts are not confined to health care professionals alone; pharmaceutical companies now engage in extensive direct-to-consumer advertising on radio and television, in the print media, and even on the Internet. While these promotional efforts no doubt increase sales, they may also lead to greater tort liability for drug-related injuries. The most likely theories of liability are failure to warn and negligent marketing. Liability for inadequate warnings will almost certainly increase if courts abandon the learned intermediary rule and require drug …

Single-Base-Pair Discrimination Of Terminal Mismatches By Using Oligonucleotide Microarrays And Neural Network Analyses, Hidetoshi Urakawa, Peter A. Noble, Said El Fantroussi, John J. Kelly, David A. Stahl Jan 2002

Single-Base-Pair Discrimination Of Terminal Mismatches By Using Oligonucleotide Microarrays And Neural Network Analyses, Hidetoshi Urakawa, Peter A. Noble, Said El Fantroussi, John J. Kelly, David A. Stahl

Biology: Faculty Publications and Other Works

The effects of single-base-pair near-terminal and terminal mismatches on the dissociation temperature (T(d)) and signal intensity of short DNA duplexes were determined by using oligonucleotide microarrays and neural network (NN) analyses. Two perfect-match probes and 29 probes having a single-base-pair mismatch at positions 1 to 5 from the 5' terminus of the probe were designed to target one of two short sequences representing 16S rRNA. Nonequilibrium dissociation rates (i.e., melting profiles) of all probe-target duplexes were determined simultaneously. Analysis of variance revealed that position of the mismatch, type of mismatch, and formamide concentration significantly affected the T(d) and signal intensity. …

Method For Decoupled Thermocatalytic Pollution Control, Ali Raissi, Eric Martin, Nazim Muradov Jan 2002

Method For Decoupled Thermocatalytic Pollution Control, Ali Raissi, Eric Martin, Nazim Muradov

UCF Patents

A new method for design and scale-up of thermocatalytic processes is disclosed. The method is based on optimizing process energetics by decoupling of the process energetics from the DRE for target contaminants. The technique is applicable to high temperature thermocatalytic reactor design and scale-up. The method is based on the implementation of polymeric and other low-pressure drop support for thermocatalytic media as well as the multifunctional catalytic media in conjunction with a novel rotating fluidized particle bed reactor.

Jose Marti's Ismaelillo: An English Translation, Tyler Fisher Jan 2002

Jose Marti's Ismaelillo: An English Translation, Tyler Fisher

HIM 1990-2015

Few figures in the history of the Americas are surrounded with more colorful lore and acclamation than the Cuban politician, teacher, patriot, and poet Jose Marti. Among Marti's literary contributions, his Ismaelillo, a collection of fifteen poems published in 1882, claims prominence as both Marti's first book of poems and as a seminal Latin American text. Celebrated for its sincere communication of paternal love and lauded as the genesis of Hispanic literary modernism, Ismaelillo captures the longing of an exiled father separated from his son and homeland. Its language is at once evocative of classical Spanish literature and innovative, incorporating …

Simple Physics Of Quadratic Spatial Solitons, Gaetano Assanto, George I. Stegeman Jan 2002

Simple Physics Of Quadratic Spatial Solitons, Gaetano Assanto, George I. Stegeman

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Spatial solitons in quadratically nonlinear media result from the interplay of parametric gain, diffraction and cascading phase shift. Their main features are well understood in mathematical terms, and several experiments have been successfully carried out which demonstrate their observability and most important properties. Here we provide an intuitive interpretation of some of the underlying physics, outlining the processes that govern their excitation, propagation and interaction forces.

Electrophoresis Of An End-Labeled Polymer Chain: A Molecular Dynamics Study, Aniket Bhattacharya, Andrey Milchev Jan 2002

Electrophoresis Of An End-Labeled Polymer Chain: A Molecular Dynamics Study, Aniket Bhattacharya, Andrey Milchev

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

We study the conformational and the dynamic properties of an end-labeled (telechelic) polymer chain embedded in a porous medium made of randomly distributed immobile spherical obstacles using a stochastic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method for several obstacle densities rho(imp) and for various field intensities F(x) applied only to one end of the chain. For F(x)=0, the chain initially shrinks with increasing density of the obstacles rho(imp). In general, for small F(x) and low rho(imp), the chain elongates along the direction of the force and shrinks in the transverse direction whereby this effect becomes more pronounced at larger chain lengths. However, …

Induced Modulation Instability Of Partially Spatially Incoherent Light With Varying Perturbation Periods, Zhigang Chen, Jill Klinger, Demetrios N. Christodoulides Jan 2002

Induced Modulation Instability Of Partially Spatially Incoherent Light With Varying Perturbation Periods, Zhigang Chen, Jill Klinger, Demetrios N. Christodoulides

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

We demonstrate experimentally that a periodic perturbation on a partially spatially incoherent optical beam induces modulation instability that depends strongly on the perturbation periods as well as on the strength of the nonlinearity and the degree of spatial coherence. At a fixed value of the nonlinearity and coherence, the incoherent modulation instability has a maximum growth at a preferred perturbation period (or spatial frequency), leading to the formation of ordered patterns. While the nonlinearity in our photorefractive system is inherently anisotropic, pattern control and pattern switching with anisotropic coherence is readily realized. Our experimental observations are in good agreement with …
