Efficiency observations performed in January and February 2009 during clear dry weather with the EVLA receivers mounted on antenna #24 show excellent performance at K, Ka, and Q bands. System temperatures are well below project requirements, with mid-band values of 37, 43, and 58 K at K, Ka, and Q bands, respectively. Antenna efficiencies decline smoothly with increasing frequency, from a high ...

The value of no-take marine reserves as fisheries-management tools is controversial, particularly in high-poverty areas where human populations depend heavily on fish as a source of protein. Spillover, the net export of adult fish, is one mechanism by which no-take marine reserves may have a positive influence on adjacent fisheries. Spillover can contribute to poverty alleviation, although its ...

An approach to the kinetics of barrier formation of supercritical gas bubbles in a strongly supersaturated liquid solution is presented. A common assumption of uniform reduction of a dissolved gas supersaturation in a liquid solution via stationary diffusion to nucleating gas bubbles is shown to be not applicable to the case of high gas supersaturations. The approach recognizes that the diffusi...

Most cool core clusters of galaxies possess active galactic nuclei (AGN) in their centers. These AGN inflate buoyant bubbles containing non-thermal radio emitting particles. If such bubbles efficiently confine cosmic rays (CR) then this could explain “radio ghosts” seen far from cluster centers. We simulate the diffusion of cosmic rays from buoyant bubbles inflated by AGN. Our simulations inclu...

Hendra virus is a paramyxovirus of Australian flying fox bats. It was first detected in August 1994, after the death of 20 horses and one human. Since then it has occurred regularly within a portion of the geographical distribution of all Australian flying fox (fruit bat) species. There is, however, little understanding about which species are most likely responsible for spillover, or why spill...

Work-life conflict can have adverse affects on both families and workplaces, impacting the wellbeing of society as a whole. One area of existing research on work-life conflict has focused on negative spillover from home to work. More specifically, when the stress from factors in individuals’ home and family life extends into and adversely affects functioning in the workplace. The purpose of thi...

48 The retinogeniculate synapse, the connection between retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and 49 thalamic relay neurons, undergoes robust changes in connectivity over development. This 50 process of synapse elimination and strengthening of remaining inputs is thought to require 51 synapse specificity. Here we show that glutamate spillover and asynchronous release are 52 prominent features of retinog...

Metabotropic transmission typically occurs through the spillover activation of extrasynaptic receptors. This study examined the mechanisms underlying somatodendritic dopamine and noradrenaline transmission and found that the extent of spillover and pooling varied dramatically between these two transmitters. In the mouse ventral tegmental area, the time course of D2-receptor-mediated IPSCs (D2-I...
