Manganese oxide materials are attracting considerable interest for clean energy storage applications such as rechargeable Li ion and Li–air batteries and electrochemical capacitors. The electrochemical behavior of nanostructured...
How relevant are human resource (HR) practices in economies undergoing significant economic transition from a command to a market-based system? Using data drawn from a large sample of Chinese establishments, the authors...
Analysis of differential gene expression is crucial for the study of cell fate and behavior during embryonic development. However, automated methods for the sensitive detection and quantification of RNAs at cellular resolution...

Designated to support theatre scholarships, the generous gift is from the estate of the late Dr. Ann Coleman Peyton, who worked in higher education. Peyton had family ties to the Carolinas: her mother, Mary Howey Kell Peyton...
In a previous article, Moore, Rosenberg and Coleman (Brain and Language, 2005, 94, 72-85) reported evidence for significant improvements in phonological awareness in mainstream children following 6 h of exposure to a...
A series of measurements have been performed at the University of Bath to study the evolution of vacancy-type structures in silicon. Isothermal annealing performed during positron beam-based Doppler broadening measurements have...
The development stages of a system for variable-energy spin-polarised positron beam spectroscopy are described. Methods for achieving maximum practical beam polarisation include a Na-22 source configuration with a low-Z backing...
For these reasons and more, the South Carolina Senate honored DiGiorgio this spring for his 24 years of outstanding service. Senators Wes Hayes (R-York) and Creighton Coleman (D-Fairfield) presented the president with the...
This short review presents results of new positron and positronium (Ps) experiments in condensed matter and atomic physics, as an illustration of the satisfying variety of scientific endeavours involving positron beams which can...
The rapid structural re-organisation of porous amorphous solid water, grown to thicknesses in the range 2.5-70 µm by vapour deposition on a copper substrate at 75K, after heating to 125K has been found to leave a µm-wide band of...

The positronium (Ps) formation cross-section, Q(Ps), for positron-argon interactions has been measured for incident positron energies from threshold to 60 eV, in an attempt to resolve the apparent discrepancy between earlier...
Wallerian degeneration is a widespread mechanism of programmed axon degeneration. In the three decades since the discovery of the Wallerian degeneration slow (WldS) mouse, research has generated extensive knowledge of the...
