Over the past few decades, there have been some profound changes made to the way that academic research is managed. i recall a former, rather auto­ cratic, professor’s approach to the subject; “i take the responsibility, i make the decisions.” under his directorship, his department became world renowned, demon strating that this approach is not neces sarily wrong, but it represents an extreme i...

This is one of a series of reviews of sabermetric articles published in academic journals. It is part of a project of mine to collect and catalog sabermetric research, and I would appreciate learning of and receiving copies of any studies of which I am unaware. Please visit the Statistical Baseball Research Bibliography at its new location www.udel.edu/communication/pavitt/biblioexplan.htm . Us...

Our general objectives are concerned with the study of atomic and molecular processes and with the transport of charged particles in weakly ionized collision-dominated plasmas. During the past year our efforts in this field have been on a rather modest scale. The research that we have conducted was concerned with the effects of pipe turbulence on the electrical conductivity and on the diffusion...

Common to all life on Earth are the mechanisms of geneticencoding, in which specific trinucleotide sequences in DNAand RNAmap to specific amino acids in synthesized proteins.This thesis project investigates feasible models of the evolu-tion of genetic encoding from an initially random populationof genes and proteins. Discrete simulations on the order of1010 event steps d...

In an earlier study Gruberg and Solish showed that salamander somatosensory spino-tectal fibers took the same course and ended in the same layer of the intermediate tectal neuropil as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT or serotonin) fibers as seen by Falck-Hillarp fluorescence. In order to determine whether the spino-tectal fibers are themselves serotonergic, we have carried out anatomical, biochemical,...

In this region of the electromagnetic spectrum there is some important astrophysics, such as the spectral peak of the alleged 2.7" K isotropic cosmic black-body radiation, thermal radiation by interstellar and possibly intergalactic dust, as well as intense radiation from galactic centers, and doubtless other information concerning the early history of an evolving universe. An experiment carrie...
