Factors affecting adoption of cow-calf production practices in Oklahoma
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-12)
Most technology adoption research has focused on crops. Primary data were used to determine differences in management practices among two groups of Oklahoma cow-calf producers based on herd size and cattle income dependence. ...
Photon-photon correlations as a probe of vacuum-induced coherence effects
(American Physical Society, 2008-03-27)
We show how the effects of vacuum-induced coherence can be realized by studying photon-photon correlation in the pi-polarized fluorescence in the j=1/2 to j=1/2 transition. These effects should thus be observable in ...
Anomalous magnetoresistance oscillations and enhanced superconductivity in single-crystal Pb nanobelts
(AIP Publishing, 2008-06-13)
Using atomically flat single-crystal Pb ultrathin films grown on Si(111) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy, we fabricated Pb nanobelts of 28 atomic monolayers thick, 285nm wide, and 10 um long by focus ion beam technique. ...
Transport and quantum walk of nonclassical light in coupled waveguides
(American Physical Society, 2008-10-08)
We study the transport and quantum walk of nonclassical light in an array of coupled waveguides which have properties like very low decoherence and thus making them ideal for storage of quantum information. We show how ...
Entanglement of two distant Bose-Einstein condensates by detection of Bragg-scattered photons
(American Physical Society, 2008-07-31)
We show that it is possible to generate entanglement between two distant Bose-Einstein condensates by detection of Hanbury-Brown-Twiss-type correlations in photons Bragg scattered by the condensates. Upon coincident detection ...
Novelty and uniqueness patterns of rare members of the soil biosphere
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008-09)
Soil bacterial communities typically exhibit a distribution pattern in which most bacterial species are present in low abundance. Due to the relatively small size of most culture-independent sequencing surveys, a detailed ...
Proteomic analysis of lamellar bodies isolated from rat lungs
(BioMed Central, 2008-06-24)
Background: Lamellar bodies are lysosome-related secretory granules and store lung surfactant in alveolar type II cells. To better understand the mechanisms of surfactant secretion, we carried out proteomic analyses of ...
Terahertz conductivity of thin metal films
(AIP Publishing, 2008-08-05)
The conductivities of thin Al, Au, and Ag films were measured via their transmission at terahertz frequencies. The conductivities of all the films, particularly the thinner films and Al films, were much smaller than their ...
Evidence of the role of tick subolesin in gene expression
(BioMed Central, 2008-08-02)
Background: Subolesin is an evolutionary conserved protein that was discovered recently in Ixodes scapularis as a tick protective antigen and has a role in tick blood digestion, reproduction and development. In other ...
Trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled near-infrared optical tomography of the prostate. Part II: Experimental demonstration
(Optica Publishing Group, 2008-10-15)
We demonstrate trans-rectal optical tomography of the prostate using an endo-rectal near-infrared (NIR) applicator integrated with a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe. The endo-rectal NIR applicator incorporated a design ...
