We analyse the anisotropy dependence of the transition temperature of Q M n and &Mn spin glasses doped with Au or Pt impurities. We discuss the role of anisotropy in the phase transition of RKKY Heisenberg spin glasses. While the existence of a phase transition at finite temperature is well admitted for Ising spin glasses (SG) in 3d 111, Bray et al. 121 have shown from scaling arguments that th...

BACKGROUND High-throughput sequencing has led to increased insights into the human skin microbiome. Currently, the majority of skin microbiome investigations are limited to characterizing prokaryotic communities, and our understanding of the skin fungal community (mycobiome) is limited, more so for cohorts outside of the western hemisphere. Here, the skin mycobiome across healthy Chinese indivi...

The results of Bray, Franklin & James (1959) suggest that the guinea pig cannot acetylate S-substituted L-cysteines as readily as can the rabbit or the rat. Since the failure to demonstrate acetylation might have been due to the presence of an active deacetylating system (cf. Krebs, Sykes & Bartley, 1947) we have investigated the excretion by the rabbit, rat and guinea pig of some administered ...

Abstract. Application of the convergent close-coupling (CCC) method to electronimpact ionization of the ground state of atomic hydrogen is considered at incident energies of 15.6, 17.6, 20, 25, 27.2, 30, 54.4, 150 and 250 eV. Total through to fully differential cross sections are presented. Following the analysis of Stelbovics [submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. (http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/physics/9905...

Isoetes mississippiensis S.W. Leonard, W.C. Taylor, L.J. Musselman and R.D. Bray (Isoetaceae, Lycopodiophyta) is a new species known from two sites along tributaries of the Pearl River in southern Mississippi. This species is distinguished from other species in the southeastern United States by a combination of character states including a basic diploid (2n=22) chromosome count, laevigate megas...

Stream channelization, which entails reducing the sinuosity of a stream, widening, and in some cases deepening stream channel, is widespread practice agricultural regions. Channelization efforts central Illinois have significant impacts on geomorphology, flow regime, sediment transport both adjacent to modified reaches. The goal this study was characterize changes channels by comparing three st...

Our topic is the evaluation and treatment of obesity in the practice of medicine. I am joined by Dr. Harold Bays who has carried out many studies of dietary and medical interventions in patients with obesity. I am also honored to have Dr. George Bray who is known for his many years of research into causes of obesity and its therapy. Our goal is bring this clinical and research experience to bea...
