Several techniques have been utilized in this laboratory for the study of the nutritional requirements for virus synthesis in Escherichia coli infected by bacteriophage. For instance, it was observed that when E. coli strain B grown in nutrient broth was resuspended in a simple medium (F) and infected with T2r+ bacteriophage, there was a marked decrease in the amount of virus produced, as well ...

In this paper, an instrument for the characterization of field emission properties of nanostructured surfaces is described. First presented is an introduction to the theory of field emission followed by a short derivation of the key equations formulated by Fowler and Nordheim. The system is then described followed by an analysis of the system's performance and some example results.

We are concerned with proving that solutions of certain dynamical systems on time scales satisfy some monotoneity conditions. These results then give important results for nth order linear scalar equations. We then give a related result for a third order nonlinear (Emden–Fowler type) dynamic equation.

I reflect on the statistical methods of the Christakis-Fowler studies on network-based contagion of traits by checking the sensitivity of these kinds of results to various alternate specifications and generative mechanisms. Despite the honest efforts of all involved, I remain pessimistic about establishing whether binary health outcomes or product adoptions are contagious if the evidence comes ...

I/V characteristics recorded in mechanically controllable break junctions revealed that field emission transport is enhanced in single molecule junctions as the gap size between two nanoelectrodes is reduced. This observation indicates that Fowler-Nordheim tunneling occurs not only for intermolecular but also for intramolecular electron transport driven by a reduced energy barrier at short tunn...
