Research on mammalian pigmentation has ranged from basic
studies on biochemistry of melanin formation to more practical
studies involving effects of nutrition, environment and genetics on
hair color. In mink such studies have an added significance as fur
color is of considerable economic importance; however, research in
this area has...
Inclusion of substantial levels of raw-frozen Pacific hake
(Merluccius productus) in diets of ranch-raised mink (Mustela vison)
causes a large percentage of animals to develop an abnormal condition
termed "cotton fur" (CF), characterized by depressed body
weight, microcytic-hypochromic anemia and a failure of under-fur
pigmentation. Observations by several groups of...

In communications it is often desirable to recover a signal
hidden in noise. The techniques of correlation are often employed
for this purpose. Initially, the basic formula and properties of correlation
including an approximating formula are presented. Then the
description, design, and construction of a DC to 500 KHz electronic...
Electric fields due to adsorbates on a metal surface are studied experimentally with Rydberg atoms as probes. A beam of lithium Rydberg atoms, produced by an oven in a high-vacuum system, passes within 3μm of the surface of a metal mesh having 6μm square openings. Rydberg states with principal quantum...
The generalized inverse of a regional model is used to estimate barotropic tidal dissipation along the Hawaiian Ridge. The model, based on the linear shallow-water equations, incorporates parameterizations for the dissipation of energy via friction in the bottom boundary layer and form drag due to internal waves generated at topographic...
The interaction of the dominant semidiurnal M₂ internal tide with the large-scale subtidal flow is examined
in an ocean model by propagating the tide through an ensemble of background fields in a domain centered on
the Hawaiian Ridge. The background fields are taken from the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA)...
The Younger Dryas cold interval represents a time when much of the Northern Hemisphere cooled from ≈12.9 to 11.5 kiloyears B.P. The cause of this event, which has long been viewed as the canonical example of abrupt climate change, was initially attributed to the routing of freshwater to the St....
The cause of warming in the Southern Hemisphere during the most recent deglaciation remains a matter of debate[superscript 1,2]. Hypotheses for a Northern Hemisphere trigger, through oceanic redistributions of heat, are based in part on the abrupt onset of warming seen in East Antarctic ice cores and dated to 18,000...
