Introduction: Self-Organization In Nonequilibrium Chemical Systems, Irving R. Epstein, John A. Pojman, Oliver Steinbock
Introduction: Self-Organization In Nonequilibrium Chemical Systems, Irving R. Epstein, John A. Pojman, Oliver Steinbock
Faculty Publications
The field of self-organization in nonequilibrium chemical systems comprises the study of dynamical phenomena in chemically reacting systems far from equilibrium. Systematic exploration of this area began with investigations of the temporal behavior of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky oscillating reaction, discovered accidentally in the former Soviet Union in the 1950s. The field soon advanced into chemical waves in excitable media and propagating fronts. With the systematic design of oscillating reactions in the 1980s and the discovery of Turing patterns in the 1990s, the scope of these studies expanded dramatically. The articles in this Focus Issue provide an overview of the development and …
Pair Production From Nuclear Collisions And Cosmic Ray Transport, John W. Norbury
Pair Production From Nuclear Collisions And Cosmic Ray Transport, John W. Norbury
Faculty Publications
Modern cosmic ray transport codes, that are capable of use for a variety of applications, need to include all significant atomic, nuclear and particle reactions at a variety of energies. Lepton pair production from nucleus-nucleus collisions has not been included in transport codes to date. Using the methods of Baur, Bertulani and Baron, the present report provides estimates of electron positron pair production cross sections for nuclei and energies relevant to cosmic ray transport. It is shown that the cross sections are large compared to other typical processes such as single neutron removal due to strong or electromagnetic interactions. Therefore, …
Induction Of Characters And Finite P-Groups, Edith Adan-Bante
Induction Of Characters And Finite P-Groups, Edith Adan-Bante
Faculty Publications
Let G be a finite p-group, where p is an odd prime number, H be a subgroup of G and θ ∈ Irr(H) be an irreducible character of H. Assume also that | G : H | = p2. Then the character θG of G induce by θ is either a multiple of an irreducible character of G, or has at least p+1/2 distinct irreducible constituents.
Energy Storage In Cold Non-Elastic Deformation Of Glassy Polymers, E.F. Oleinik, S.N. Rudnev, O.B. Salamatina, S.V. Shenogin, M.I. Kotelyanskii, T.V. Paramzina, S.I. Nazarenko

Faculty Publications
Experimental results on work W(epsilon), heat Q(epsilon) and stored energy U(epsilon) of deformation for glassy polymers such as linear PS, PC, PMMA, Polyimid, amorphous PET, thermotropic aromatic polyesters, Vectra T for example, crosslinked epoxy are presented. All the data was obtained by a deformation calorimetry technique. Loading and unloading of samples were performed at room temperature with strain rate epsilon = 10(-2) - 10(-4) sec(-1) under uniaxial compression up to engineering strains of epsilon(def) = 40-50%. During straining all polymers accumulate an excess of the latent energy U( e). Elastic fraction of the energy is released completely at sample unloading …
Timelike Surfaces Of Constant Mean Curvature ±1 In Anti-De Sitter 3-Space H31), Sungwook Lee
Timelike Surfaces Of Constant Mean Curvature ±1 In Anti-De Sitter 3-Space H31), Sungwook Lee
Faculty Publications
It is shown that timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature ± in anti-de Sitter 3-space H3 1(−1) can be constructed from a pair of Lorentz holomorphic and Lorentz antiholomorphic null curves in PSL2R via Bryant type representation formulae. These Bryant type representation formulae are used to investigate an explicit one-to-one correspondence, the so-called Lawson–Guichard correspondence, between timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature ± 1 and timelike minimal surfaces in Minkowski 3-space E 3 1. The hyperbolic Gauß map of timelike surfaces in H3 1(−1), which is a close analogue of the classical …

Homogeneous Products Of Conjugacy Classes, Edith Adan-Bante
Faculty Publications
Let G be a finite group and a ∈G. Let a G ={g −1 a g | g ∈ G} be the conjugacy class of a in G. Assume that a G and b G are conjugacy classes of G with the property that C G (a)=C G (b). Then a G b G is a conjugacy class if and only if [a,G]=[b,G]=[ab,G] and [ab,G] is a normal subgroup of G.
The Structure Of Β-Carbonic Anhydrase From The Carboxysomal Shell Reveals A Distinct Subclass With One Active Site For The Price Of Two, Michael R. Sawaya, Gordon C. Cannon, Sabine Heinhorst, Shiho Tanaka, Eric B. Williams, Todd O. Yeates, Cheryl A. Kerfeld
The Structure Of Β-Carbonic Anhydrase From The Carboxysomal Shell Reveals A Distinct Subclass With One Active Site For The Price Of Two, Michael R. Sawaya, Gordon C. Cannon, Sabine Heinhorst, Shiho Tanaka, Eric B. Williams, Todd O. Yeates, Cheryl A. Kerfeld
Faculty Publications
CsoSCA (formerly CsoS3) is a bacterial carbonic anhydrase localized in the shell of a cellular microcompartment called the carboxysome, where it converts HCO-3 to CO2 for use in carbon fixation by ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). CsoSCA lacks significant sequence similarity to any of the four known classes of carbonic anhydrase (α, β, γ, or δ), and so it was initially classified as belonging to a new class, ϵ. The crystal structure of CsoSCA from Halothiobacillus neapolitanus reveals that it is actually a representative member of a new subclass of β-carbonic anhydrases, distinguished by a lack of active site …
Maldi-Tof Baseline Drift Removal Using Stochastic Bernstein Approximation, Joseph Kolibal, Daniel Howard
Maldi-Tof Baseline Drift Removal Using Stochastic Bernstein Approximation, Joseph Kolibal, Daniel Howard
Faculty Publications
Stochastic Bernstein (SB) approximation can tackle the problem of baseline drift correction of instrumentation data. This is demonstrated for spectral data: matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) data. Two SB schemes for removing the baseline drift are presented: iterative and direct. Following an explanation of the origin of the MALDI-TOF baseline drift that sheds light on the inherent difficulty of its removal by chemical means, SB baseline drift removal is illustrated for both proteomics and genomics MALDI-TOF data sets. SB is an elegant signal processing method to obtain a numerically straightforward baseline shift removal method as it includes a …
