Laser Ranging Delay in the Bi-Metric Theory of Gravity
(arXiv, 2006)
We introduce a linearized bi-metric theory of gravity with two metrics. The metric g_{ab} describes null hypersurfaces of the gravitational field while light moves on null hypersurfaces of the optical metric \bar{g}_{ab}. ...
Aberration and the Fundamental Speed of Gravity in the Jovian Deflection Experiment
(ar, 2006)
We describe our explicit Lorentz-invariant solution of the Einstein and null geodesic equations for the deflection experiment of 2002 September 8 when a massive moving body, Jupiter, passed within 3.7' of a line-of- sight ...
Universality away from critical points in two-dimensional phase transitions
(arXiv, 2006)
The p-state clock model in two dimensions is a system of discrete rotors with a quasi-liquid phase in a region T1 < T < T2 for p > 4. We show that, for p > 4 and above a temperature Teu, all macroscopic thermal averages, ...
Behavior of hexane on graphite at near-monolayer densities: Molecular dynamics study
(American Physical Society, 2006)
We present the results of molecular-dynamics studies of hexane physisorbed onto graphite for eight coverages in the range 0.875⩽ρ⩽1.05 (in units of monolayers). At low temperatures, the adsorbate molecules form a uniaxially ...
Surfacing Perversions of Democracy in the Workplace: A Contemporary Psychoanalytic Project
(Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, 2006)
In this paper, we explore the psychodynamics of democracy in the workplace with a particular focus on unconscious and collusive forms of perverting democratic processes at work. We suggest that interpersonally and collectively ...
Women and Feminism in Higher Education Scholarship: An Analysis of Three Core Journals
(The Journal of Higher Education, 2006)
Today, more women than ever before are active
participants in higher education. For example, more than 50% of all undergraduate students are women and the numbers of women graduate,
professional, and doctoral-degree ...
Astromineralogy of the 13 μm Feature in the Spectra of Oxygen-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars. I. Corundum and Spinel
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars have several interesting infrared spectral features. Approximately half the oxygen-rich AGB stars to be investigated spectroscopically exhibit a feature at ~13 μm. The carrier of this ...
(Mis-) Measuring the Relative Pay of Public School Teachers
(Education Finance and Policy, 2006)
Statistics on the relative pay of public school teachers are routinely cited by plaintiffs in school finance (“adequacy”) lawsuits. However, comparisons of pay and
benefits for public school teachers to those of professional ...
Coincidences in the values of the Euler and Carmichael functions
(Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Mathematics, 2006)
The Euler function has long been regarded as one of the most basic of the arithmetic functions. More recently, partly driven by the rise in importance of computational number theory, the Carmichael function has drawn an ...
Arithmetic properties of φ(n)/λ(n) and the structure of the multiplicative group modulo n
(European Mathematical Society, 2006)
For a positive integer n, we let φ(n) and λ(n) denote the Euler function and the Carmichael function, respectively. We define ξ(n) as the ratio φ(n)/λ(n) and study various arithmetic properties of ξ(n).
The library in the lives of Latino college students
(The University of Chicago, 2006)
Libraries share a perception of embracing and providing for all users. However, they also share a common philosophical stance shaped by librarians' individual discursive formations and the dominant cultural hegemony that ...
Relations between librarians and romance readers: A Missouri survey.
(Public Libaries, 2006)
Romance novels have traditionally been derided in academic literature and while recent LIS literature has been supportive of romance, previous articles indicated considerable disdain for the genre. Criticism raised in the ...
Scholarly productivity of U.S. LIS faculty
(Library & Information Science Research, 2006)
One aspect of faculty effectiveness can be measured through research productivity, and publication and citation rates can serve as an indicator of that productivity. This study, the fourth in a series to examine LIS faculty ...
Education for library service to youth in five countries
(Review of Children's Literature and Librarianship, 2006)
Youth services instructors from five countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States) were surveyed as to the content of youth-oriented courses they had taught between 2000 and 2003. A ...
An exploratory survey of reference source instruction in LIS courses
(Reference & User Services Quarterly, 2006)
We surveyed 40 reference instructors at 28 North American ALA-accredited programs of library and information studies about instructional methods they used in teaching about reference sources in print and electronic formats. ...
Theoretical prediction of spectral and optical properties of bacteriochlorophylls in thermally disordered LH2 antenna complexes
(American Institute of Physics, 2006)
A general approach for calculating spectral and optical properties of pigment-protein complexes of known atomic structure is presented. The method, that combines molecular dynamics simulations, quantum chemistry calculations, ...
Collective Entrepreneurship: An Emerging Phenomenon in Producer-Owned Organizations
(Southern Agricultural Economics Association, 2006-08)
This paper introduces and defines the concept of collective entrepreneurship. A review of the defensive single-level rent-seeking objective of traditional agricultural cooperatives is introduced followed by an analysis of ...
Calculating potentials of mean force and diffusion coefficients from nonequilibrium processes without Jarzynski's equality
(American Institute of Physics, 2006)
In general, the direct application of the Jarzynski equality (JE) to reconstruct potentials of mean force (PMFs) from a small number of nonequilibrium unidirectional steered molecular-dynamics (SMD) paths is hindered by ...
Applying the Polarization Memory Effect in Polarization-gated Subsurface Imaging
(The Optical Society of America, 2006-05)
Polarization memory is a well established phenomenon occurring when circularly polarized light propagates in turbid media of larger particles. Recent studies have demonstrated that the circularly crosspolarized imaging can ...
Monitoring Sarcomere Structure Changes in Whole Muscle Using Diffuse Light Reflectance
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2006-07)
Normal biomechanical and physiological functions of striated muscles are facilitated by the repeating sarcomere units. Light scattering technique has been used in studying single extracted muscle fibers. However, few ...
