Orthographic characteristics speed Hindi word naming but slow Urdu naming: evidence from Hindi/Urdu biliterates
(Springer, 2011)
Two primed naming experiments tested the orthographic depth hypothesis in skilled biliterate readers of Hindi and Urdu. These languages are very similar on the spoken level but differ greatly in script; Hindi is a highly ...
Controllable optical switch using a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical cavity
(American Physical Society, 2011)
The optical bistability of an ultracold atomic ensemble located in a small-volume ultrahigh-finesse optical cavity is investigated. We find that a transverse pumping field can be used to control the bistable behavior of ...
Plasmon mass and Drude weight in strongly spin-orbit-coupled two-dimensional electron gases
(American Physical Society, 2011)
Spin-orbit-coupled two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) are a textbook example of helical Fermi liquids, i.e., quantum liquids in which spin (or pseudospin) and momentum degrees of freedom at the Fermi surface have a ...
Copyright and Publication Status of Pre-1978 Dissertations: A Content Analysis Approach
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011-07)
We investigated whether American dissertations that were deposited in university libraries or disseminated on microfilm prior to 1978 were "published" for copyright purposes. This question has direct bearing on the copyright ...
Critical behavior and universality in Levy spin glasses
(American Physical Society, 2011)
Using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations that combine parallel tempering with specialized cluster updates, we show that Ising spin glasses with Levy-distributed interactions share the same universality class as Ising spin ...
Dispersion Model for Varying Vertical Shear in Vegetated Channels
(2011-10-01)
A dispersion model for a wide range of depthwise vertical shear is derived by using perturbation analysis and power (m) law velocity profile. For m = 1, the velocity profile provides linear shear, whereas m > 1 provides ...
Single-site monthly streamflow simulation using entropy theory
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)
Using entropy theory, a new method for single-site monthly streamflow simulation is developed, which is capable of preserving mean, standard deviation, skewness, and lag-one correlation. The method entails deriving joint ...
Patterns of grain-size temporal variation of sediment transported by overland flow associated with moving storms: interpreting soil flume experiments
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2011)
This study describes and interprets the evolution of grain-size distribution of sediment yields generated
in an experimental soil flume subjected to downstream and upstream moving rain storms. Results of laboratory ...
Triangular flow in heavy ion collisions in a multiphase transport model
(American Physical Society, 2011)
We obtain a new set of parameters in a multiphase transport (AMPT) model that are able to describe both the charged particle multiplicity density and the elliptic flow measured in Au + Au collisions at center-of-mass energy ...
Effects of triangular flow on di-hadron azimuthal correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions
(American Physical Society, 2011)
Using the AMPT model for relativistic heavy ion collisions, we have studied the di-hadron azimuthal angular correlations triggered by emitted jets in Au + Au collisions at center-of-mass energy root s(NN) = 200 GeV and ...
