Genetic signatures of ecological diversity along an urbanization gradient.

PeerJ

Kelly RP, O'Donnell JL, Lowell NC, Shelton AO, Samhouri JF, Hennessey SM, Feist BE, Williams GD.
PMID: 27672503
PeerJ. 2016 Sep 13;4:e2444. doi: 10.7717/peerj.2444. eCollection 2016.

Despite decades of work in environmental science and ecology, estimating human influences on ecosystems remains challenging. This is partly due to complex chains of causation among ecosystem elements, exacerbated by the difficulty of collecting biological data at sufficient spatial,...

Can Anomalous Amplification be Attained without Postselection?.

Physical review letters

Martínez-Rincón J, Liu WT, Viza GI, Howell JC.
PMID: 27015468
Phys Rev Lett. 2016 Mar 11;116(10):100803. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.100803. Epub 2016 Mar 09.

We present a parameter estimation technique based on performing joint measurements of a weak interaction away from the weak-value-amplification approximation. Two detectors are used to collect full statistics of the correlations between two weakly entangled degrees of freedom. Without...

Demethylating Agents in the Treatment of Cancer.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland)

Howell PM, Liu Z, Khong HT.
PMID: 27713340
Pharmaceuticals (Basel). 2010 Jul 02;3(7):2022-2044. doi: 10.3390/ph3072022.

Gene silencing resulting from aberrant DNA methylation can lead to tumorigenesis. Therefore, drugs that inhibit or interfere with DNA methylation have been used to reactivate and induce silenced gene re-expression in malignancies. Two demethylating agents, azacitidine and decitabine, are...

Fast Hadamard transforms for compressive sensing of joint systems: measurement of a 3.2 million-dimensional bi-photon probability distribution.

Optics express

Lum DJ, Knarr SH, Howell JC.
PMID: 26480426
Opt Express. 2015 Oct 19;23(21):27636-49. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.027636.

We demonstrate how to efficiently implement extremely high-dimensional compressive imaging of a bi-photon probability distribution. Our method uses fast-Hadamard-transform Kronecker-based compressive sensing to acquire the joint space distribution. We list, in detail, the operations necessary to enable fast-transform-based matrix-vector...

Paraxial full-field cloaking.

Optics express

Choi JS, Howell JC.
PMID: 26193564
Opt Express. 2015 Jun 15;23(12):15857-62. doi: 10.1364/OE.23.015857.

We complete the 'paraxial' (small-angle) ray optics cloaking formalism presented previously [Opt. Express 22, 29465 (2014)], by extending it to the full-field of light. Omnidirectionality is then the only relaxed parameter of what may be considered an ideal, broadband,...

Fear and Uncertainty Do Not Influence Reported Willingness to Undergo Lumbar Punctures in a U.S. Multi-Cultural Cohort.

Frontiers in aging neuroscience

Tsvetkova DZ, Bergquist SH, Parker MW, Jarrett TL, Howell JC, Watts KD, Kollhoff A, Roberts DL, Hu WT.
PMID: 28239349
Front Aging Neurosci. 2017 Feb 10;9:22. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2017.00022. eCollection 2017.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related disorders can provide early and accurate prediction of underlying neuropathology even when the clinical symptoms are mild, but lumbar punctures (LP) to obtain CSF can be perceived as frightening and...

Simultaneous measurement of complementary observables with compressive sensing.

Physical review letters

Howland GA, Schneeloch J, Lum DJ, Howell JC.
PMID: 25014815
Phys Rev Lett. 2014 Jun 27;112(25):253602. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.253602. Epub 2014 Jun 26.

The more information a measurement provides about a quantum system's position statistics, the less information a subsequent measurement can provide about the system's momentum statistics. This information trade-off is embodied in the entropic formulation of the uncertainty principle. Traditionally,...

The Developmental Dynamics of Joining a Gang in Adolescence: Patterns and Predictors of Gang Membership.

Journal of research on adolescence : the official journal of the Society for Research on Adolescence

Gilman AB, Hill KG, Hawkins JD, Howell JC, Kosterman R.
PMID: 24882999
J Res Adolesc. 2014 Jun 01;24(2):204-219. doi: 10.1111/jora.12121.

Researchers have examined the predictors of adolescent gang membership, finding significant factors in the neighborhood, family, school, peers, and individual domains. However, little is known about whether risk and protective factors differ in predictive salience at different developmental periods....

Finite flux solutions of the quantum boltzmann equation and semiconductor lasers.

Physical review letters

Lvov YV, Newell AC.
PMID: 11017654
Phys Rev Lett. 2000 Feb 28;84(9):1894-7. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.1894.

We propose and illustrate in the context of the semiconductor laser that, in nonequilibrium fermionic systems with sources and sinks, the family of finite flux stationary solutions of the quantum Boltzmann equation is central and more important then the...

Experimental quantum cloning of single photons.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Lamas-Linares A, Simon C, Howell JC, Bouwmeester D.
PMID: 11923493
Science. 2002 Apr 26;296(5568):712-4. doi: 10.1126/science.1068972. Epub 2002 Mar 28.

Although perfect copying of unknown quantum systems is forbidden by the laws of quantum mechanics, approximate cloning is possible. A natural way of realizing quantum cloning of photons is by stimulated emission. In this context, the fundamental quantum limit...

Nonequilibrium precursor model for the onset of percolation in a two-phase system.

Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics

Gleiser M, Howell RC, Ramos RO.
PMID: 11909171
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys. 2002 Mar;65(3):036113. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevE.65.036113. Epub 2002 Feb 12.

Using a Boltzmann-like equation, we investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of nonperturbative fluctuations within the context of Ginzburg-Landau models. As an illustration, we examine how a two-phase system initially prepared in a homogeneous, low-temperature phase becomes populated by precursors of...

Light collection efficiency and light transport in backscattered electron scintillator detectors in scanning electron microscopy.

Scanning

Filippov MN, Rau EI, Sennov RA, Boyde A, Howell PG.
PMID: 11587323
Scanning. 2001 Sep-Oct;23(5):305-12. doi: 10.1002/sca.4950230503.

Experimentally, scintillator detectors used in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to record backscattered electrons (BSE) show a noticeable difference in detection efficiency in different parts of their active zones due to light losses transport in the optical part of the...
