Truth, Meaning, and Circularity
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
hold that the combination has a circular account of the order in which one comes to know the meaning of a sentence and comes to know its truth condition. I show that these arguments fail to identify any circularity. Arguments of the second strain hold...
Investigation of the presence of charge order in magnetite by measurement of the spin wave spectrum
(American Physical Society, 2006)
Inelastic neutron scattering results on magnetite (Fe3O4) show a large splitting in the acoustic spin wave branch, producing a 7 meV gap midway to the Brillouin zone boundary at q=(0,0,1∕2) and ℏω=43 meV. The splitting occurs below the Verwey...
Gravitation and Nonlocality
(arXiv, 2001)
The physical basis of the standard theory of general relativity is examined and a nonlocal theory of accelerated observers is described that involves a natural generalization of the hypothesis of locality. The nonlocal ...
Supercritical CO2 extraction of porogen phase: An alternative route to nanoporous dielectrics
(Materials Research Society, 2004)
We present a supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) process for the preparation of nanoporous organosilicate thin films for ultralow dielectric constant materials. The porous structure was generated by SCCO2 extraction of a sacrificial ...
Numerical Methods for the Simulation of Dynamical Mass Transfer in Binaries
(American Astronomical Society, 2002)
We describe computational tools that have been developed to simulate dynamical mass transfer in semidetached, polytropic binaries that are initially executing synchronous rotation upon circular orbits.
Initial equilibrium ...
Experimental evaluation of apparent tissue surface tension based on the exact solution of the Laplace equation
(IOP, 2008)
The notion of apparent tissue surface tension offered a systematic way to interpret
certain morphogenetic processes in early development. It also allowed deducing quantitative information on cellular and molecular parameters ...
Turning again in Tibullus 1.5
(2002)
in the elegy, or based interpretation of it upon: 1) the [... ] in general, or 2) a specially developed form of the [ ... ], or 3) a statement of pessimism vs. guarded optimism with a remarkable, "oracular" close, or 4) a skillfully developed interplay...
Monte Carlo simulation method for Laughlin-like states in a disk geometry
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We discuss an alternative accurate Monte Carlo method to calculate the ground-state energy and related quantities for Laughlin states of the fractional quantum Hall effect in a disk geometry. This alternative approach ...
Drumming for the Divine : A Female Tympanon Player from Cyprus
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2002)
"Musical performance is an integral part of many cultural events. Artistic representations, as well as literary sources, provide evidence that music created a joyous atmosphere during celebrations, promoted a spiritual ...
Drude weight, plasmon dispersion, and pseudospin response in doped graphene sheets
(arXiv, 2009)
Plasmons in ordinary electron liquids are collective excitations whose long-wavelength limit is rigid center-of-mass motion with a dispersion relation that is, as a consequence of Galileian invariance, unrenormalized by ...
Acceleration-induced nonlocality: kinetic memory versus dynamic memory
(arXiv, 2001)
The characteristics of the memory of accelerated motion in Minkowski spacetime are discussed within the framework of the nonlocal theory of accelerated observers. Two types of memory are distinguished: kinetic and dynamic. ...
Delay equations and radiation damping
(arXiv, 2001)
Starting from delay equations that model field retardation effects, we study the origin of runawaymodes that appear in the solutions of the classical equations of motion involving the radiation reaction force. When retardation ...
Horseman in Bronze : A Belt from Urartu
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2005)
Post-Newtonian Reference Frames for Advanced Theory of the Lunar Motion and a New Generation of Lunar Laser Ranging
(arXiv, 2009)
We construct a set of post-Newtonian reference frames for a comprehensive study of the orbital dynamics and rotational motion of Moon and Earth by means of lunar laser ranging (LLR) with the precision of one millimeter. ...
The baths of Trajan Decius, or of Philip the Arab?
(2002)
In a recent publication Laetitia La Follette collected the evidence for the Baths of Trajan Decius, an important but little-known imperial monument of the mid-3rd c. in Rome. Bringing together the ancient literary and ...
A Funerary Deposit from Early Bronze Age Cyprus

The Calibration of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
(American Astronomical Society, 2007)
populations, in addition to the ionizing ones, in agreement with previous findings. Two SFR calibrations, one using the 24 m emission and the other using a combination of the 24 m and H luminosities(Kennicutt and coworkers), are presented. No calibration...
Magnetic tweezers for intracellular applications
(American Institute of Physics, 2003)
We have designed and constructed a versatile magnetic tweezer primarily for intracellular investigations. The micromanipulator uses only two coils to simultaneously magnetize to saturation micron-size superparamagnetic ...
Eukaryotic membrane tethers revisited using magnetic tweezers
(Institute of Physics, 2007)
Membrane nanotubes, under physiological conditions, typically form en masse. We employed magnetic tweezers (MTW) to extract tethers from human brain tumor cells and compared their biophysical properties with tethers extracted ...
