How well can one get to know a Strawsonian person?
(International Phenomenological Society, 1974)
I shall argue that one cannot get to know a Strawsonian person, to speak in a popular way. To speak more philosophically, Strawson has a metaphysical theory of persons which involves serious epistemological difficulties. ...
Evaluating the Effects of Endocrine Disruptors on Endocrine Function during Development
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1999)
The major concerns with endocrine disruptors in the environment are based mostly on effects that have been observed on the developing embryo and fetus. The focus of the present manuscript is on disruption of three hormonal ...
On Measuring Gravitomagnetism via Spaceborne Clocks: A Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect
(arXiv, 1998)
The difference in the proper azimuthal periods of revolution of two standard clocks in direct and retrograde orbits about a central rotating mass is proportional to J/Mc^2, where J and M are, respectively, the proper angular ...
Rotating cylindrical systems and gravitomagnetism
(arXiv, 1998)
We discuss gravitomagnetism in connection with rotating cylindrical systems. In particular, the gravitomagnetic clock effect is investigated for the exterior vacuum field of an infinite rotating cylinder. The dependence ...
On detecting the gravitomagnetic field of the earth by means of orbiting clocks
(arXiv, 1998)
Based on the recent finding that the difference in proper time of two clocks in prograde and retrograde equatorial orbits about the Earth is of the order 10^{-7}s per revolution, the possibility of detecting the terrestrial ...
Descartes on Theological Knowledge
(International Phenomenological Society, 1982)
Arnauld charged Descartes with circularity in his theological proof. I argue that Arnauld was correct. I also make suggestions about why Descartes fails to see the circularity. Both points are important. Many are uncomfortable ...
Evolutionary dynamics while trapped in resonance: a Keplerian binary system perturbed by gravitational radiation
(American Institute of Physics, 1997)
The method of averaging is used to investigate the phenomenon of capture into resonance for a model that describes a Keplerian binary system influenced by radiation damping and external normally incident periodic gravitational ...
Density‐functional studies of the electronic structure of the perovskite oxides: La1−xCaxMnO3
(American Institute of Physics, 1996)
Using density‐functional methods, we study the electronic structures of the lanthanum‐based ''double‐exchange'' perovskite magnets. Antiferromagnetic insulating solutions are obtained for both the end members, LaMnO3 and ...
Dynamics of flux penetration and critical currents in type-II superconductors
(American Physical Society, 1997)
We study the dynamics of flux penetration and vortex pinning in a type-II superconductor by numerical simulations with forces appropriate in the London regime. Straight vortex lines at zero temperature are studied in a ...
Possible suppression of canted spin order in the double-exchange lanthanum manganites
(American Physical Society, 1997)
The existence of the canted (noncollinear) spin order in the double-exchange magnets is examined by solving a model Hamiltonian using a combination of the Hartree-Fock approximation and an exact diagonalization scheme using ...
Chemistry and toxicology of quinoxaline, organotin, organofluorine, and formamidine acaricides
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1976-04)
Several of the newer synthetic organic or "second generation" acaricides are widely used for control of phytophagous mites and ticks. Quinoxaline, organotin, organofluorine, and formamidine compounds are among the newer ...
On the ionization of a Keplerian binary system by periodic gravitational radiation
(American Institute of Physics, 1996)
The gravitational ionization of a Keplerian binary system via normally incident periodic gravitational radiation of definite helicity is discussed. The periodic orbits of the planar tidal equation are investigated on the ...
Chaos in the Kepler system
(American Institute of Physics, 1999)
The long-term dynamical evolution of a Keplerian binary orbit due to the emission and absorption of gravitational radiation is investigated. This work extends our previous results on transient chaos in the planar case to ...
On the Spin-Rotation-Gravity Coupling
(arXiv, 1998)
The inertial and gravitational properties of intrinsic spin are discussed and some of the recent work in this area is briefly reviewed. The extension of relativistic wave equations to accelerated systems and gravitational ...
Molecular dynamics studies of the melting of butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on the basal‐plane surface of graphite
(American Institute of Physics, 1992)
The effect of molecular steric properties on the melting of quasi‐two‐dimensional solids is investigated by comparing results of molecular dynamics simulations of the melting of butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on the ...
Mean-field theory of charge ordering and phase transitions in the colossal-magnetoresistive manganites
(Institute of Physics, 1999)
We study phase transitions in the colossal-magnetoresistive manganites by using a mean-field theory both at zero and non-zero temperatures. Our Hamiltonian includes double-exchange, superexchange, and Hubbard terms with ...
Exponential temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of V3Si
(American Physical Society, 1976)
We report the results and interpretation of precision measurements of the electrical resistivity of V3Si in the temperature range Tc≤T≤77 K. Four samples of a wide range in residual resistance ratio (RRR) and with 15.1≤Tc≤16.8 ...
Electron states and electron-phonon coupling in the BEDT-TTF-based organic superconductors
(American Physical Society, 1996)
The electronic structure and the coupling of electrons to the vibrational modes of a single bis (ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) molecule, the building block of a class of organic superconductors, are studied ...
Electronic Shell Structure and Relative Abundances of Cesium-Coated C60
(American Physical Society, 1996)
The relative abundances of C60Cs(N), N≤500, determined from mass spectra measurements, are presented and explained in terms of the successive filling of the electronic shells by the cesium valence electrons. The motion of ...
