We demonstrate the utility of multimodal coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy for the study of structured condensed carbohydrate systems. Simultaneous second-harmonic generation (SHG) and spectrally-scanned CARS microscopy was used to elucidate structure, alignment, and density in cellulose cotton fibers and in starch grains undergoing rapid heat-moisture swelling. Our result...

New drugs are urgently needed for the treatment of tropical parasitic diseases such as leishmaniasis and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). This work involved a high-throughput screen of a focussed kinase set of ~3400 compounds to identify potent and parasite-selective inhibitors of an enzymatic Leishmania CRK3-cyclin 6 complex. The aim of this study is to provide chemical validation that Lei...

Wireless telephone speech is usually limited to the 300 − 3400Hz band, which reduces its quality. There is thus a growing demand for wideband speech systems that transmit from 50Hz to 8000 Hz. This paper presents an algorithm to generate wideband speech from narrowband speech using as low as 500 bits/s of side information. The 50 − 300Hz band is predicted from the narrowband signal. A sourceexc...

Finite 3D Ising ferromagnets are studied in periodic magnetic fields both by computer simulations and mean-field theoretical approaches. The phenomenon of stochastic resonance is revealed. The characteristic peak obtained for the correlation function between the external oscillating magnetic field and magnetization versus the temperature of the system, is studied for various external fields and...

The English Lexicon Project is a multiuniversity effort to provide a standardized behavioral and descriptive data set for 40,481 words and 40,481 nonwords. It is available via the Internet at elexicon.wustl.edu. Data from 816 participants across six universities were collected in a lexical decision task (approximately 3400 responses per participant), and data from 444 participants were collecte...
