A basic kinetic model that incorporates a coupled dynamics of the carbon atoms and dimers on a copper surface is used to compute growth of a single-layer graphene island. The speed of the island’s edge advancement on Cu[111] and Cu[100] surfaces is computed as a function of the growth temperature and pressure. Spatially resolved concentration profiles of the atoms and dimers are determined, and...

The non-pathogenic (unadapted) line of the Rhodes strain of influenza virus multiplied readily in the mouse lung, but its rate of multiplication was slower and its hemagglutination titer attained at the peak of growth was much lower than that of the adapted line of the same virus. The implication of these findings to mouse adaptability of the virus is discussed.

A new study by Rhodes and colleagues offers insight into the development of social essentialism - the belief that members of social categories share essential properties (e.g., attitudes, psychological capacities). The challenge now is to consider these issues in children raised in the more diverse social environments that constitute the range of human experience.

In this paper we give exponential upper and lower bounds on the size of the cascaded (Krohn-Rhodes) decomposition of automata. These results are used for giving elementary algorithms for various translations between automata and temporal logic, where the previously-known translations were nonelementary.

J. Rhodes asked during the Chico conference in 1986 for the calculation of joins of semigroup pseudovarieties. This paper proves that the join J∨V of the pseudovariety J of J -trivial semigroups and of any 2-strongly decidable pseudovariety V of completely regular semigroups is decidable. This problem was proposed by the first author for V = G, the pseudovariety of finite groups.
