Character varieties and harmonic maps to R-trees
(1998)
We show that the Korevaar-Schoen limit of the sequence of equivariant harmonic maps corresponding to a sequence of irreducible $SL_2({\mathbb C})$ representations of the fundamental group of a compact Riemannian manifold ...
On the Morgan-Shalen compactification of the SL(2,C) character varieties of surface groups
(1998)
A gauge theoretic description of the Morgan-Shalen compactification of the SL(2, C)
character variety of the fundamental group of a hyperbolic surface is given in terms of a natural compactification of the moduli space ...
How often is a permutation an n'th power?
(1997)
We give a short argument that for any fixed n, the probability that a permutation on m letters is an n'th power is asymptotically C m^{phi(n)/n - 1}.
The X-Ray Luminosity Function of Nearby Rich and Poor Clusters of Galaxies:A Cosmological Probe
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
In this Letter, we present a new determination of the local (z · 0.09) X-ray luminosity function (XLF) using a large, statistical sample of 294 Abell clusters and the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. Despite the optical selection of ...
Composition, vigor, and proteome of mature soybean seeds developed under high temperature
(Crop Society of America, 1999)
The effects of high temperature treatment on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed composition, vigor, and proteome were investigated using mature dry seeds harvested from plants grown in environment-controlled chambers. ...
A catalog of Nearby Poor Clusters of Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
A catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of [3¡ declination is presented. The poor clusters, called WBL clusters, were identified as concentrations of
three or ...
Massive Cooling Flow Clusters Inhabit Crowded Environments
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
With the availability of large-scale redshift survey data, it is now becoming possible to explore correlations between large-scale structure and the properties and morphologies of galaxy clusters. We investigate the spatial ...
Weak Gravitational Lensing and Cluster Mass Estimates
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
Hierarchical theories of structure formation predict that clusters of galaxies should be embedded in a weblike structure, with filaments emanating from them to large distances. The amount of mass contained within such ...
Center of mass and relative motion in time dependent density functional theory
(American Physical Society, 1995)
It is shown that the theorem asserting separability of the center of mass motion for a system of interacting particles in a harmonic external potential is satisfied in the time dependent density functional theory, provided ...
Mass and Metallicity of Five X-Ray-bright Galaxy Groups
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
We present ASCA X-ray observations of a sample of Ðve groups selected from a cross-correlation of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with the White et al. optical catalog of groups. These X-rayÈbright groups significantly increase ...
Measuring Lexical Style and Competence: The Type-Token Vocabulary Curve
(Northern Illinois University, 1990)
A personal computer is used to analyze samples from literary texts by thirteen
different authors, including passages from Genesis, Hemingway, Longfellow, Jane
Austen, Henry James, George Eliot, James Joyce, and Basic ...
The Vocabulary-Management Profile: Two Stories by William Faulkner
(1994)
The Vocabulary-Management Profile (VMP) is a graph of the moving average of the number of new vocabulary words introduced over successive intervals of text. Peaks and
valleys on the VMP correlate closely with narrative ...
The Effect of the Designated Hitter Rule on Hit Batsmen: Pitcher's Moral Hazard or the Team's Cost-Benefit Calculation?: A Comment
(Oxford University Press, 1998-10)
Goff, Shughart and Tollison [1997] attribute the American League's higher hit-batsman rate since 1973 to moral hazard: pitchers who no longer bat no longer face retaliation. We argue that retaliation is more efficiently ...
Origins of a Current Conflict? An Examination of Stock-Nonstock Cooperative Law
(American Institute of Cooperation, 1993)
The earliest state cooperative laws in the United States were stock laws modeled upon the Rochdale experience and were adaptations of basic corporate laws of Incorporation to the cooperative form of organization. They ...
A Diagnosis of the Explosive Development of Two Extratropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1992-08)
This paper examines the 24-h explosive development periods of two extratropical cyclones, the first occurring over the Gulf Stream off the coast of New England from 18 to 19 January 1979 and the second occurring over the ...
Climatological features of blocking anticyclones: a study of Northern Hemisphere CCM1 model blocking events in present-day and double CO2 concentration atmospheres
(Springer-Verlag, 1997)
Using output made with the National Center
for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model Version 1 (CCM1), the characteristics of blocking events over the Northern Hemisphere in a ten-year present
day control ...
Climatological Features of blocking anticyclones in the Northern Hemisphere
(Munksgaard, 1994)
Blocking anticyclones have long been of interest to the atmospheric science community because of their profound effect on local and regional climates. Previous climatologies of blocking anticyclones have been performed ...
A View of GMOs from the UK
(AgBioForum, 1998)
At the present time, the genetically modified organism (GMO) issue is rapidly emerging as the next big theme in European food production post-BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). The key question in this context is the ...
What's in a Label?
(AgBioForum, 1998)
We believe that any labeling statements must be capable of verification and enforcement. Appropriately validated detection methods will be critical when labeling is required. While there may well be a place for products ...
The diagnosis of a pre-blocking explosively-developing extratropical cyclone system
(Munksgaard, 1992-05)
This paper presents the diagnosis of an extratropical cyclone that developed explosively from 18 to 19 January 1979 over the North Atlantic Ocean. The diagnosis applies data obtained from the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres ...
