      Garbanati, L. F.; Greenberg, W.; Zweifel, P. F. (AIP Publishing, 1978-01)
      Uniqueness theorems are proved for the linearized Boltzmann equation for both the ’’exterior’’ and ’’interior’’ problems under generalized Maxwellboundary conditions. The solution space is a weighted L p space, and agrees ...

      The systematics of the wetting transition at solid-gas interfaces in systems interacting with inversepower-law potentials is investigated. The correct form of the effective Hamiltonian for l, the interfacesubstrate separation, ...

    • Universality in the percolation problem—Anomalous dimensions of φ4 operators 

      Amit, D. J.; Wallace, D. J.; Zia, R. K. P. (American Physical Society, 1977-05)
      We consider critical systems, such as the percolation problem, whose symmetry permits an invariant interaction of third order in the fluctuating fields φ. In the renormalization-group approach one is naturally led to look ...

    • Unusual water flux in the extracellular polysaccharide of the cyanobacterium Nostoc commune 

      Shaw, Eric; Hill, Donna R.; Brittain, Nicole; Wright, Debbie J.; Täuber, Uwe C.; Marand, Hervé; Helm, Richard F.; Potts, Malcolm (Amer Soc Microbiology, 2003-09-01)
      The speed of water uptake by desiccated Nostoc commune was found to depend upon the duration of desiccation. The rehydration of desiccated colonies led to marked, time-dependent changes in structure and ultrastructure ...

      Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) have the ability to convert low energy photons into high energy photons, making this material appealing for a variety of scientific pursuits, from solar energy conversion ...

    • Using L/E Oscillation Probability Distributions 

      Aguilar-Arevalo, A. A.; Brown, B. C.; Bugel, L.; Cheng, G.; Church, E. D.; Conrad, J. M.; Dharmapalan, R.; Djurcic, Z.; Finley, D. A.; Ford, R.; Garcia, F. G.; Garvey, G.

D.; White, D. H.; Wickremasinghe, D. A.; Zeller, G. P.; Zimmerman, E. D.
      This paper explores the use of L/E oscillation probability distributions to compare experimental measurements and to evaluate oscillation models. In this case, L is the distance of neutrino travel and E ...

    • Variational and nonvariational principles in quantum transport calculations 

      Yang, Z. Q.; Tackett, A.; Di Ventra, M. (American Physical Society, 2002-07)
      A variational principle is not generally satisfied in steady-state quantum transport as opposed to the case of ground-state problems. We show that for a short-range potential, a functional for the scattering amplitude can ...

      Bowen, Samuel P.; Mancini, Jay D. (American Institute of Physics, 1988-04-15)
