Electromagnetically induced magnetochiral anisotropy in a resonant medium
(American Physical Society, 2005-06-14)
Chirality has been extensively studied for well over a century, and its potential applications range from optics to chemistry, medicine, and biology. Ingenious experiments have been designed to measure this naturally small ...
Can multiyear rollover hedging increase mean returns?
(Cambridge University Press, 2005-04)
Both market advisors and researchers have often suggested multiyear rollover hedging as a way to increase producer returns. This study determines whether rollover hedging can increase expected returns for producers. For ...
Langevin analysis of fundamental noise limits in coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy
(American Physical Society, 2005-01-04)
We use a Langevin approach to analyze the quantum noise in coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy in several experimental scenarios: with continuous-wave input fields acting simultaneously and with fast sequential pulsed ...
THz parallel plate photonic waveguides
(AIP Publishing, 2005-07-26)
We have observed narrowband transmission or rejection in the frequency spectra of THz pulses transmitted through air-spaced parallel plate photonic waveguides. These waveguides have one of the metal plates covered by a ...
Molecular characterization of slow leaf-rusting resistance in wheat
(Crop Science Society of America, 2005-02-23)
Slow leaf-rusting resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L) is gaining acceptance as a breeding objective because of its durability in comparison with race-specific resistance. CI 13227 was previously reported to provide ...
Transmission properties of terahertz pulses through an ultrathin subwavelength silicon hole array
(AIP Publishing, 2005-03-30)
We demonstrate extraordinary THz transmission of an array of subwavelength apertures patterned on ultrathin highly doped silicon by reactive ion etching. The zero-order transmission spectra exhibit well-defined maxima and ...
Cavity-mediated long-range interaction for fast multiqubit quantum logic operations
(American Physical Society, 2005-11-04)
Interactions among qubits are essential for performing two-qubit quantum logic operations. However, nature gives us only nearest neighbor interactions in simple and controllable settings. Here we propose a strategy to ...
Genomic comparison of plant pathogenic and nonpathogenic Serratia marcescens strains by suppressive subtractive hybridization
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005-12)
Cucurbit yellow vine disease (CYVD) is caused by disease-associated Serratia marcescens strains that have phenotypes significantly different from those of nonphytopathogenic strains. To identify the genetic differences ...
Fall forage biomass and nitrogen composition of winter wheat populations selected from grain-only and dual-purpose environments
(Crop Science Society of America, 2005-01)
Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the foundation of many agricultural enterprises in the southern Great Plains and is grown primarily as either a grain-only (GO) or a dual-purpose (DP, grazing plus grain) crop. ...
Generation of a superposition of multiple mesoscopic states of radiation in a resonant cavity
(American Physical Society, 2005-04-27)
Using resonant interaction between atoms and the field in a high quality cavity, we show how to generate a superposition of many mesoscopic states of the field. We study the quasi-probability distributions and demonstrate ...
