 | In a recent study, we have shown that the commercially available Cold Buster(TM) Sports bar, purported to improve cold resistance, did not do so in our subjects exposed to a relatively severe cold test. (Vallerand, Tikuisis, Ducharme and Jacobs, In Review). One possible explanation for our conflicting results is that our metabolic rate (M) was too high for the possibly small thermogenic effect of the bar to be measurable. The ... |

| On the basis of their putative role in the process of stimulus- transcription coupling, immediate-early genes, such as c-fos and c-jun, have been implicated as important components of signal transduction programs by which environmental stimuli regulate long-term cellular events. To explore the possibility that immediate-early genes may play a similar role in the transduction of light signals mediating the entrainment of the circadian pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), immediate-early ... |

| Interface designers typically think of dialogs in terms of low-level, relatively syntactic interactions such as menu selections. When trying to make systems with complex information spaces more accessible to users, however, providing graphical user interfaces that deal mainly with such low-level presentation concerns is only part of the solution. Of greater importance is the use of interaction paradigms based on a notion of well-defined, higher-level dialog games in human-to-human interaction, ... |

| The mechanism responsible for cold induced vasodilation (CIVD) is still subject to debate. Several theories are based on Local mechanism as the release of a dilating substance, an axon reflex or Local paralysis of smooth muscles in the vessel wall. However, it is also shown that core temperature has to play a major role, because CIVD decreases in magnitude when the core gets colder. In this investigation the amount of ... |

| This paper is meant to be suggestive of issues that strategic planners might consider as they look ahead to the possibility of military space operations in the twenty-first century. It uses as its analytical framework Carl von Clausewitz's concept of war which holds that military operations are dominated by intangible human factors and therefore are largely unpredictable. The paper begins with a discussion of how the views of Clausewitz are ... |

| Signal processing in photorefractive crystals is complicated by photorefractive amplified scattering (fanning). The scattering centers responsible for seeding the fanning noise may be presumed to be traceable to crystal lattice irregularities. These defects have not yet been examined in any great detail, and the relative importance of various specific imperfections and the role they play in the crystal optics are not known. An understanding of these defects should lead to ... |

|
| One of the key parameters for optimizing erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) is the Er3 -concentration profile. Below the concentration for onset of component clustering, up-conversion may play a significant role 1. Recent experiments have shown that up-conversion is a considerable deteriorating mechanism even below an erbium concentration of 1000 ppm by weight 2,3. In this paper, we have made an extensive study of eight different fibers in order to examine ... |

| Ballistic transport of electrons in semiconductors has recently been a topic of great interest. These studies are important because ballistic transport is expected to play a role in the operation of a number of state-of-the-art semiconductor devices. Ballistic drift in a field-free region of electrons launched across a heterojunction has been observed. In this paper we describe experiments that apply optical spectroscopy to time-resolve the distribution functions of electrons in ... |

| A 5 micro x 5 micron double heterostructure InGaAs/InP pin photodiode is reported with a measured response of 5 ps and a deconvolved device impulse response of 3.8 ps. The double heterostructure employed reduces carrier diffusion and the graded heterobarriers play a key role in optimizing the device response speed by minimizing charge storage and device series resistance. |

| Passive star couplers play a central role in the architecture of many high-speed, multiple-access optical networks. Although the use of a star coupler is possible under ideal conditions for networks with a large number of users, in practice, the size of the system is limited by the inherent 1/N splitting and excess loss of the coupler, the limited sensitivity of the receiver, and the finite available source power. A way ... |

| Signals are transmitted between cells in the brain using neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter receptors. Poisons that interfere with this process stop normal brain function and often kill nerve cells. One of the neurotransmitters used in the mammalian brain is acetylcholine. We discovered that there is a large number of different nicotinic receptors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, each with its different properties.
