Phase Coherence And Superfluid-Insulator Transition In A Disordered Bose-Einstein Condensate, Y. P. Chen, J. Hitchcock, D. Dries, M. Junker, C. Welford, R. G. Hulet Jan 2008

Phase Coherence And Superfluid-Insulator Transition In A Disordered Bose-Einstein Condensate, Y. P. Chen, J. Hitchcock, D. Dries, M. Junker, C. Welford, R. G. Hulet

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We have studied the effects of a disordered optical potential on the transport and phase coherence of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of Li-7 atoms. At moderate disorder strengths (V-D), we observe inhibited transport and damping of dipole excitations, while in time-of-flight images, random but reproducible interference patterns are observed. In situ images reveal that the appearance of interference is correlated with density modulation, without complete fragmentation. At higher V-D, the interference contrast diminishes as the BEC fragments into multiple pieces with little phase coherence.

Analyses Of Expressed Sequence Tags From The Maize Foliar Pathogen Cercospora Zeae-Maydis Identify Novel Genes Expressed During Vegetative, Infectious, And Reproductive Growth, Burton H. Bluhm, Braham Dhillon, Erika A. Lindquist, Gert Hj Kema, Stephen B. Goodwin, Larry D. Dunkle

Department of Botany and Plant Pathology Faculty Publications

Background: The ascomycete fungus Cercospora zeae-maydis is an aggressive foliar pathogen of maize that causes substantial losses annually throughout the Western Hemisphere. Despite its impact on maize production, little is known about the regulation of pathogenesis in C. zeae-maydis at the molecular level. The objectives of this study were to generate a collection of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from C. zeae-maydis and evaluate their expression during vegetative, infectious, and reproductive growth. Results: A total of 27,551 ESTs was obtained from five cDNA libraries constructed from vegetative and sporulating cultures of C. zeae-maydis. The ESTs, grouped into 4088 clusters and 531 …

Mitigating Disaster: A Communitarian Response, Robert M. Ackerman Jan 2008

Mitigating Disaster: A Communitarian Response, Robert M. Ackerman

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

In this essay, I present a communitarian view as to how we might best respond to disaster, and in particular, to losses suffered by the direct victims of disaster. My focus will be on financial compensation to disaster victims, which admittedly occupies only a small part of the spectrum of disaster response. Emergency "first responder" activities are matters about which I have no expertise; volunteering at my local food bank hardly qualifies me to advise FEMA or the Red Cross. The blunders for which these organizations have recently been responsible are apparent, and so are some of their causes, but …

Reducing Estate And Trust Litigation Through Disclosure, In Terrorem Clauses, Mediation And Arbitration, Jonathan G. Blattmachr Jan 2008

Reducing Estate And Trust Litigation Through Disclosure, In Terrorem Clauses, Mediation And Arbitration, Jonathan G. Blattmachr

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This Article discusses how litigation relating to the administration of estates and trusts might be reduced through by careful planning prior to the property owner's transfer of wealth during lifetime or at death. As the article details, litigation involving trust and estate matters often involves an emotional element not present in most other legally disputed matters. That also suggests that methods to reduce the risk of such litigation occurring may be unique to such matters. In Part 1, certain background matters relating to the climate for such litigation are presented. In Part 2, the historic "tool" of a disinheritance clause …

A Constitutional "Right" To Deny And Promote Genocide? Preempting The Usurpation Of Human Rights Discourse Towards Incitement From A Canadian Perspective, Karen Eltis Jan 2008

A Constitutional "Right" To Deny And Promote Genocide? Preempting The Usurpation Of Human Rights Discourse Towards Incitement From A Canadian Perspective, Karen Eltis

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

I would like to thank the organizers of the conference, particularly Sheri Rosenberg, for their gracious invitation to speak to what is undoubtedly one of the most pressing themes commanding our attention - genocide and its denial. This is a time when historical truth struggles to endure in the face of insidious attacks at times couched in human rights rhetoric.

Adr And Collective Trauma: Constructing The Forum For The Traumatic Fuss, Michal Alberstein Jan 2008

Adr And Collective Trauma: Constructing The Forum For The Traumatic Fuss, Michal Alberstein

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This paper explores the notion of collective trauma and discusses the implications of its theoretical underpinnings in two Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) practices. First, it offers the use of the Narrative Mediation model to construct a method to deal with collective trauma, as it affects individuals. Narrative Mediation is presented as the most comprehensive and transformative tool to address collective trauma. Second, an ADR approach to collective trauma is offered in cases where no mediation is possible. The concept of "fitting the forum to the fuss," which is a fundamental organizing mechanism in the ADR field, is applied in this …

What's A Cross-Cultural Mediator To Do? A Low-Context Solution For A High-Context Problem, John Barkai Jan 2008

What's A Cross-Cultural Mediator To Do? A Low-Context Solution For A High-Context Problem, John Barkai

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article will explore issues facing mediators in cross-cultural conflicts, offer suggestions for conducting cross-cultural mediations, and propose a template of factors that mediators should consider when assisting parties in cross-cultural mediation. The factors will come largely from research by social scientists and anthropologists, particularly Edward T. Hall and Geert Hofstede.

A Systemic Perspective Of Adr In Latin America: Enhancing The Shadow Of The Law Through Citizen Participation, Mariana Hernández Crespo Jan 2008

A Systemic Perspective Of Adr In Latin America: Enhancing The Shadow Of The Law Through Citizen Participation, Mariana Hernández Crespo

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Part I of this article addresses the issue of a pale shadow of the law in Latin America. Part II reviews the disjointed legal reform efforts in Latin America, and suggests that a systemic perspective could effectively link and strengthen judicial reform efforts and the promotion of ADR. Part III describes the three elements of a systemic reform framework for the enhancement of the shadow of the law in Latin America: sustainable domestic laws, a functional enforcement mechanism, and supportive social norms. This article concludes that enhancing the shadow of the law through citizen participation is essential to optimize dispute …

Improvement Of Perennial Forage Species As Feedstock For Bioenergy, William Anderson, Michael Casler, Brian S. Baldwin Jan 2008

Improvement Of Perennial Forage Species As Feedstock For Bioenergy, William Anderson, Michael Casler, Brian S. Baldwin

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Both native and non-native forage species other than switchgrass are less commonly considered as potential lignocellulosic feedstocks for bioenergy in the United States. These species hold potential as bioenergy feedstocks because of the experience and infrastructure that is already in place for management and harvest, and in certain areas of the country they have greater yield potential than switchgrass or other feedstocks. The forage grasses consist of temperate cool-season (most commonly C3) grasses as well as tropical or sub-tropical warm-season (C4) grasses. Some legume species may also play a significant role in supplying useful bioenergy feedstocks. Most have been researched …
