Moore or Less the Night Before Christmas

In turning a poem on its opposite pole, the parodist must be wary of exact opposites to the author\u27s words. They don\u27t always reverse the sense, and they can land you back in the original meaning. Just as two negatives make a positive, what should appear = it can\u27t stay hidden. Keep a copy of Clement Moore\u27s A Visit From St. Nicholas next to you to keep track and compare

Books A-list Alist

Below are listed the scrambled titles of 11 current and known non-fiction and 6 fiction books. The scramble refers (perhaps obliquely) to the book\u27s content, as does the review (using the same letters) that follows. The scrambled author\u27s name puns on something about him/her or the book. Listings are in alphabetical order by the real book titles

Statistical fluxes and the Curie-Weiss metal state

We predict a new state of matter in the triangular t-J model in a high doping regime. Due to the altered role of quantum statistics the spins are `localized' in statistical Landau orbits, while the charge carriers form a Bose metal that feels the spins through random gauge fields. In contrast to the Fermi-liquid state, this state naturally exhibits a Curie-Weiss susceptibility, large thermopower, and linear-temperature resistivity, explaining the physics of \textrm{Na}$_{x}$\textrm{CoO}$_{2}$ at $x>0.5.$ A `smoking gun' prediction for neutron scattering is presented.Comment: 5 pages,4 figure

Solid-state conformation of copolymers of ß-benzyl-L-aspartate with L-alanine, L-leucine, L-valine, γ-benzyl-L-glutamate, or ε-carbobenzoxy-L-lysine

The solid-state conformation of copolymers of ß-benzyl-L-aspartate [L-Asp(OBzl)] with L-leucine (L-Leu), L-alanine (L-Ala), L-valine (L-Val), γ-benzyl-L-glutamate [L-Glu(OBzl)], or ε-carbobenzoxy-L-lysine (Cbz-L-Lys) has been studied by ir spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD). The ir spectra in the region of the amide I and II bands and in the region of 700-250 cm-1 have been determined. The results from the ir studies are in good agreement with data obtained by CD experiments. Incorporation of the amino acid residues mentioned above into poly[L-Asp(OBzl)] induces a change from the left-handed into the right-handed α-helix. This conformational change for the poly[L-Asp(OBzl)] copolymers was observed in the following composition ranges: L-Leu, 0-15 mol %; L-Ala, 0-32 mol %; L-Val, 0-8 mol %; L-Glu(OBzl), 3-10 mol %; and Cbz-L-Lys, 0-9 mol %
