We report our progress on the data analysis of ππ scattering data in terms of Forward Dispersion Relations (FDR), as well as Roy equations (RE) and their once-subtracted counterpart, GKPY equations. The first part of the analysis consists of independent fits to the different ππ channels. The GKPY equations provide a more stringent consistency check for the parametrizations of the S0-wave data i...

Online consumers are faced with uncertainty as they purchase products without personally experiencing them for themselves, such as through touching, trying on, etc. With the rapid development of web technologies, much of this experience can now be substituted by online tools that provide information through 3-D images, sound clips, and customization tools. We investigated to see whether provide...

Wood ducks (Aix sponsa) nesting along Bayou Meto downstream from a hazardous waste site in central Arkansas were contaminated with polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Residues in eggs, based on 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin equivalents (TCDD-EQ), ranged up to 611 parts per trillion (ppt), and egg arithmetic means were 90-fold higher at the site nearest the...

As MEMS transducers are scaled up in size, the threshold is quickly crossed to where magnetoquasistatic (MQS) transducers are superior for force production compared to electroquasistatic (EQS) transducers. Considerable progress has been made increasing the force output of MEMS EQS transducers, but progress with MEMS MQS transducers has been more modest. A key reason for this has been the diffic...

In vitro cell bioassays are useful techniques for the determination of receptor-mediated activities in environmental samples containing complex mixtures of contaminants. The cell bioassays determine contamination by pollutants that act through specific modes of action. This article presents strategies for the evaluation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-(hereafter referred as dioxin-like) or e...

We study some systems of non-linear PDE's (Eqs. 1.1 below) which can be regarded either as generalizations of the sine-Gordon equation or as two-dimensional versions of the Toda lattice equations. We show that these systems have an infinite number of non-trivial conservation laws and an infinite number of symmetries. The second result is deduced from the first by a variant of the Hamiltonian fo...

A summary of experimental materials and methods is presented in Sec. S1. Section S2 provides supplementary information on Eqs. (1) and (2) of the main text, and Sec. S3 discusses in greater detail our reaction kinetics for the formation and stability of synaptic receptor domains. Finally, Secs. S4 and S5 provide supplementary information pertaining to the simulations of the steady-state and pla...

Chiral mixed phosphorus/sulfur ligands 1-3 have been shown to be effective in enantioselective Rh-catalyzed dehydroamino acid hydrogenation and ketone hydrosilylation reactions (eqs 1, 2). After assaying the influence of the substituents at sulfur, the substituents on the ligand backbone, the relative stereochemistry within the ligand backbone, and the substituents at phosphorus, ligands 2c (R ...
