Griff ER, Kane TC. A housefly sensory motor integration laboratory. Adv Physiol Educ 34: 106–110, 2010; doi:10.1152/ advan.00068.2009.—Insects have many interesting behaviors that can be observed in an introductory biology laboratory setting. In the present article, we describe several reflexes using the housefly Musca domestica that can be used to introduce students to sensory and motor respon...

Recent work of [Dasgupta-Kumar-Sarlós, STOC 2010] gave a sparse Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform and left as a main open question whether their construction could be efficiently derandomized. We answer their question affirmatively by giving an alternative proof of their result requiring only bounded independence hash functions. Furthermore, the sparsity bound obtained in our proof is improved. T...

Introduction The Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Information Administration estimates atmospheric greenhouse gas releases may exceed 8 billion metric tons by the year 2010 heightening its international environmental concern. Carbon dioxide will dominate the greenhouse gases (Kane and Klein, 1997) and the majority of these results from the use of fossil fuels. With viable replacement of fossil...

We show that for a large family of combinatorial statistics on perfect matchings, the moments can be expressed as a linear combination of double factorials with constant coefficients. This gives a stronger analogous result of Chern, Diaconis, Kane and Rhoades on statistics of set partitions, in which case the moments can be expressed as linear combinations of shifted Bell numbers, but with poly...

Background Adolescence is considered a critical phase, and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can have a considerably negative impact on a patient's quality of life (Payne, Ogilvie, Resnick, Kane, Transfeldt, Blum, 1997). AIS can also produce psychosocial problems through potentially detrimental effects on body image, and bracing can exacerbate this problem. There are currently two questionn...

Fu and Kane have discovered that a topological insulator with induced s-wave superconductivity (gap $\Delta_0$, Fermi velocity $v_{\rm F}$, energy $\mu$) supports chiral Majorana modes propagating on the surface along edge magnetic insulator. We show direction of motion fermions can be inverted by counterflow supercurrent, when Cooper pair momentum boundary exceeds $\Delta_0^2/\mu v_{\rm F}$. T...
