The primordial helium abundance from updated emissivities
Observations of metal-poor extragalactic H II regions allow the determination of the primordial helium abundance, Y_p. The He I emissivities are the foundation of the model of t...

The diversity gain of transmit diversity in wireless systems with Rayleigh fading
Studies the ability of transmit diversity to provide diversity benefit to a receiver in a Rayleigh fading environment. With transmit diversity, multiple antennas transmit delaye...
Ecology of Two Related Species of Caddis Fly Larvae in the Organic Substrates of a Woodland Stream
Two species of Pycnopsyche larvae inhabiting allochthonous organic materials in West Creek are contemporaneous and similar in size. Field studies and laboratory experiments show...
Consistent Partial Least Squares for Nonlinear Structural Equation Models
Partial Least Squares as applied to models with latent variables, measured indirectly by indicators, is well-known to be inconsistent. The linear compounds of indicators that PL...
Learning to Count: Robust Estimates for Labeled Distances between Molecular Sequences
Researchers routinely estimate distances between molecular sequences using continuous-time Markov chain models. We present a new method, robust counting, that protects against t...
The Galactic Disk Mass Budget. II. Brown Dwarf Mass Function and Density
In this paper, we extend the calculations conducted previously in the stellar\nregime to determine the brown dwarf IMF in the Galactic disk. We perform Monte\nCarlo calculations...
Establishing Reporting Standards for Metabolomic and Metabonomic Studies: A Call for Participation
Metabolite concentrations in cellular systems are very much dependent on the physiological, environmental, and genetic status of an organism and are regarded as the ultimate res...
On the calculation of specific heats, thermal pressure coefficients and compressibilities in molecular dynamics simulations
Abstract Expressions are derived for the specific heat, Cv , the thermal pressure coefficient, γ v , and the adiabatic compressibility, β S , in terms of the fluctuations of the...
Ultrafast effective multilevel atom method for primordial hydrogen recombination
Cosmological hydrogen recombination has recently been the subject of renewed attention because of its \nimportance for predicting the power spectrum of cosmic microwave back...
