We constructed several sequences of classical Cepheid envelope models at solar chemical composition (Y = 0.28, Z = 0.02) to investigate the dependence of the pulsation properties predicted by linear and nonlinear hydrodynamical models on input physics. To study the dependence on the equation of state (EOS) we performed several numerical experiments by using the simplified analytical EOS origina...

REVIOUS papers from this laboratory have described the isolation and P identification in unit-form of the antigenic characters of the red blood cells whereby Pearlneck (Sneptopelia chinensis) and Senegal (St. senegalensis), respectively, differ from Ringdove (Sl. risovia) (IRWIN 1939; IRWIN and CUMLEY 1947). The cellular antigens specific to the respective species are gene determined, but wheth...

In this thesis we present analysis of Optical Flow Switching (OFS), an architectural approach for enabling all-optical user to user connections for transmission of Internet traffic. We first describe a demonstration of OFS on the ONRAMP test environment which is a MAN optical network implemented in hardware in the Boston geographic area. This demonstration shows the viability of OFS in an actua...

This study investigated the role of reality testing deficits in the formation of belief in the paranormal. In the present context reality testing is taken to entail the person’s inclination to test critically the logical plausibility of his or her beliefs. An earlier study of this relationship by the author (Irwin, in press) was partially compromised by the use of an index of reality testing de...

It is well known that nutritional status during the fetal and/or lactation period is important for the development of the central nervous system (CNS). In contrast, the effect of malnutrition on postweaning development has not yet been thoroughly investigated. In the present study, we analyzed the behavioral and neuroanatomical effects of protein malnutrition (PM) postweaning in mice. Starting ...
