I n 1635, at the founding of Connecticut, there were no physicians in the state. The native Americans had their shamans, and the first colonists relied on their most educated men, the ministers of the churches. The era of the cleric-physician endured through colonial times. These individuals, with their degrees in divinity, their intellects, their libraries, and the respect of their followers, ...

Pouring champagne into a glass is far from being consequenceless with regard to its dissolved CO(2) concentration. Measurements of losses of dissolved CO(2) during champagne serving were done from a bottled Champagne wine initially holding 11.4 +/- 0.1 g L(-1) of dissolved CO(2). Measurements were done at three champagne temperatures (i.e., 4, 12, and 18 degrees C) and for two different ways of...

We here give the complete data for the remaining cases deg q = 5, 6, 7, which supplement the paper ([1] Th. Stoll, Decomposition of perturbed Chebyshev polynomials, submitted). This is not supposed to be included in the paper.

We have shown that any pair potential function v(r) possessing a Fourier transform V(k) that is positive and has compact support at some finite wave number K yields classical disordered ground states for a broad density range [R. D. Batten, F. H. Stillinger, and S. Torquato, J. Appl. Phys. 104, 033504 (2008)]. By tuning a constraint parameter chi (defined in the text), the ground states can tra...

We theoretically study the relaxation of high energy single particle excitations into molecules in a system of attractive fermions in an optical lattice, both in the superfluid and the normal phase. In a system characterized by an interaction scale U and a tunneling rate t, we show that the relaxation rate scales as ∼Ctexp[-αU(2)/t(2)ln(U/t)] in the large U/t limit. We obtain explicit expressio...

The latency of saccadic eye movements evoked by the presentation of auditory and visual targets was studied while starting eye position was either 0 or 20 deg right, or 20 deg left. The results show that for any starting position the latency of visually elicited saccades increases with target eccentricity with respect to the eyes. For auditory elicited saccades and for any starting position the...
