Computation of laminar heat transfer from gaseous plasmas in electromagnetic fields
Heat transfer analysis procedure is presented for two-temperature gaseous plasma. Analysis is based on laminar flow of singly-ionized, quasineutral plasma with variable properties. Sheath analysis is described for species in accelerating field, decelerating field, emitted from wall, and recombining at wall

A search for Technicolor in the tri-lepton final state
We present a feasibility study of and production using the final state. Such a signature is found in low scale walking Technicolor models. We perform this study using CMS fast simulation samples and conclude that it is possible to observe with masses up to 500~GeV in data samples ranging from 2-10~fb of integrated luminosity. We also find that the process may be seen under the assumptions that (for GeV) and that the MET resolution from data will be in reasonable agreement with the simulation
Particles with selective wetting affect spinodal decomposition microstructures
We have used mesoscale simulations to study the effect of immobile particles
on microstructure formation during spinodal decomposition in ternary mixtures
such as polymer blends. Specifically, we have explored a regime of
interparticle spacings (which are a few times the characteristic spinodal
length scale) in which we might expect interesting new effects arising from
interactions among wetting, spinodal decomposition and coarsening. In this
paper, we report three new effects for systems in which the particle phase has
a strong preference for being wetted by one of the components (say, A). In the
presence of particles, microstructures are not bicontinuous in a symmetric
mixture. An asymmetric mixture, on the other hand, first forms a
non-bicontinuous microstructure which then evolves into a bicontinuous one at
intermediate times. Moreover, while wetting of the particle phase by the
preferred component (A) creates alternating A-rich and B-rich layers around the
particles, curvature-driven coarsening leads to shrinking and disappearance of
the first A-rich layer, leaving a layer of the non-preferred component in
contact with the particle. At late simulation times, domains of the matrix
components coarsen following the Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner law, .Comment: Accepted for publication in PCCP on 24th May 201
Entanglement of Two Impurities through Electron Scattering
We study how two magnetic impurities embedded in a solid can be entangled by
an injected electron scattering between them and by subsequent measurement of
the electron's state. We start by investigating an ideal case where only the
electronic spin interacts successively through the same unitary operation with
the spins of the two impurities. In this case, high (but not maximal)
entanglement can be generated with a significant success probability. We then
consider a more realistic description which includes both the forward and back
scattering amplitudes. In this scenario, we obtain the entanglement between the
impurities as a function of the interaction strength of the electron-impurity
coupling. We find that our scheme allows us to entangle the impurities
maximally with a significant probability

Membrane-Mediated Alterations of Intracellular Na+ and K+ in Lytic-Virus-Infected and Retrovirus-Transformed Cells
Infection of chick-embryo fibroblasts and other ceils by certain animal viruses results in alterations in the intracellular concentrations of Na + and K +. Dramatic alterations in monovalent-cation concentrations of lytic-virus-infected ceils may favor the synthesis of viral proteins over cellular proteins. More subtle alterations in retrovirus-transformed cells may result in the expression of many morphological and biochemical changes associated with the transformed phenotype.Public Health Service Grant CA 26169, CA 27003National Cancer Institute CA 06593Integrative Biolog
