Statistical hypothesis testing has been widely criticized by ecologists in recent
years. I review some of the more persistent criticisms of P values and argue that most stem
from misunderstandings or incorrect interpretations, rather than from intrinsic shortcomings
of the P value. I show that P values are intimately linked...
Transparent films of CuScO₂₊ₓ have been prepared which show p-type electrical conductivity. The temperature dependence of the conductivity indicates semiconducting behavior with an apparent room temperature activation energy of 0.11 eV. The highest room temperature conductivity observed was 30 S cm⁻1. Films 110 nm thick show 40% transparency in most...
CuCr₁₋ₓMgₓO₂, a wide band gap semiconductor with the delafossite structure, has been synthesized
in bulk and thin-film form. Bulk undoped CuCrO₂ is almost black and has moderate conductivity
with p-type carriers. Upon doping with 5% Mg, the conductivity increases by a factor of 1000. In
films, the best p-type conductivity...
We report measurements of the structural, optical, transport, and magnetic properties of single crystals of the
anisotropic p-type transparent semiconductor CuAlO₂. The indirect and direct band gaps are 2.97 and 3.47 eV,
respectively. Temperature-dependent Hall measurements yield a positive Hall coefficient in the measured range
and an activated carrier temperature...
Slow perturbations of the drop speed of a nearly freely falling, winged, microstructure probe in the upper
200 m at station P are interpreted as vertical velocity fluctuations of an internal wave field. The frequencies of these fluctuations lie in the 2.5- to 4-cph band, near the buoyancy-frequency cutoff. A...
Abstract: Background: The cross section for forming a heavy evaporation residue in fusion reactions depends on the capture cross section, the fusion probability, P[subscript CN], i.e., the probability that the projectile-target system will evolve inside the fission saddle point to form a completely fused system rather than reseparating (quasifission), and...
The thermal conductivity, measured by the 3ω method, of amorphous films of Al₂P₁.₂O₆ (AlPO) deposited on Si substrates by an all-aqueous spin-coating technique is 0.93(3) Wm⁻¹K⁻¹. The thermal conductivity of a degenerately doped n-Si substrate is 85(5) Wm⁻¹K⁻¹ and of a more lightly doped p-Si substrate is 139(7) Wm⁻¹K⁻¹. The...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants generated as byproducts of natural and anthropogenic combustion processes. Despite significant public health concern, physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling efforts for PAHs have so far been limited to naphthalene, plus simpler PK models for pyrene, nitropyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). The dearth of...
Stratified bongo net samples taken at depths between 0 and 500 m at Ocean Station “P” in the subarctic Pacific in early July 1971 have been analyzed to determine the vertical structure of the zooplankton community. Distributions for 99 categories of animals have been grouped by factor analysis into five...
RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) were used for single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) identification from two economically important obligate plant pathogens, Pseudoperonospora cubensis and P. humuli. Twenty isolates of P. cubensis and 19 isolates of P. humuli were genotyped using RNA-seq and GBS. Principle components analysis (PCA) of each data...
