Lubricant-infused micro/nano-structured surfaces with tunable dynamic omniphobicity at high temperatures
(AIP Publishing, 2013)Omniphobic surfaces that can repel fluids at temperatures higher than 100 °C are rare. Most state-of-the-art liquid-repellent materials are based on the lotus effect, where a thin air layer is maintained throughout ... -
Lubricant-Infused Nanoparticulate Coatings Assembled by Layer-by-Layer Deposition
(Wiley, 2014)Omniphobic coatings are designed to repel a wide range of liquids without leaving stains on the surface. A practical coating should exhibit stable repellency, show no interference with color or transparency of the underlying ... -
Lubricated Immersed Boundary Method in Two Dimensions
(Elsevier BV, 2018-03)Many biological examples of fluid–structure interaction, including the transit of red blood cells through the narrow slits in the spleen and the intracellular trafficking of vesicles into dendritic spines, involve the ... -
The Lumigraph
(Association for Computing Machinery, 1996)This paper discusses a new method for capturing the complete appearance of both synthetic and real world objects and scenes, representing this information, and then using this representation to render images of the object ... -
Luminescence and spectroscopy
(Elsevier BV, 2002)The connection between luminescence and different chapters of spectroscopy is discussed. Modern theoretical concepts and experimental techniques wiped away the boundaries that traditionally existed between them. Nevertheless, ... -
Luminescent acetylthiol derivative tripodal osmium(II) and iridium(III) complexes: Spectroscopy in solution and on surfaces
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2011)Luminescent Os(II) and Ir(III) complexes containing a tripodal-type structure terminalized with three thiol derivatives are described. The tripod is introduced through derivatization, with a rigid spacer, of a phenanthroline ... -
Luminosity Determination in Pp Collisions at S√ S = 8 TeV Using the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
The luminosity determination for the ATLAS detector at the LHC during pp collisions at s√= 8 TeV in 2012 is presented. The evaluation of the luminosity scale is performed using several luminometers, and comparisons between ... -
Luminosity Determination in Pp Collisions at S√s = 8 TeV Using the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
(Springer Nature, 2016)The luminosity determination for the ATLAS detector at the LHC during pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV in 2012 is presented. The evaluation of the luminosity scale is performed using several luminometers, and comparisons between ... -
The Luminosity Function of Galaxies in SDSS Commissioning Data
(IOP Publishing, 2001)In the course of its commissioning observations, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has produced one of the largest redshift samples of galaxies selected from CCD images. Using 11,275 galaxies complete to r* = 17.6 over ... -
The Luminosity Function of X‐Ray–selected Active Galactic Nuclei: Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes at High Redshift
(IOP Publishing, 2008)We present a measure of the hard (2-8 keV) X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of AGNs up to z ~ 5. At high redshifts, the wide area coverage of the Chandra Multiwavength Project is crucial to detect rare and luminous (LX > ... -
Luminosity Regained
(Scholarly Publishing Office, University of Michigan, University Library, 2008)The linchpin of Williamson (2000)'s radically externalist epistemological program is an argument for the claim that no non-trivial condition is luminous—that no non-trivial condition is such that whenever it obtains, one ... -
Luminosity-dependent quasar lifetimes : A new interpretation of the quasar luminosity function
(American Astronomical Society, 2005) -
Luminosity‐dependent Quasar Lifetimes: Reconciling the Optical and X‐Ray Quasar Luminosity Functions
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)We consider implications of our new model of quasar lifetimes and light curves for the quasar luminosity function (LF) at different frequencies and redshifts. In our picture, quasars evolve rapidly and the lifetime depends ... -
Lung Cancer and Vehicle Exhaust in Trucking Industry Workers
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)Background: An elevated risk of lung cancer in truck drivers has been attributed to diesel exhaust exposure. Interpretation of these studies specifically implicating diesel exhaust as a carcinogen has been limited because ... -
Lung Cancer in Railroad Workers Exposed to Diesel Exhaust
(National Institue of Environmental Health Sciences, 2004)Diesel exhaust has been suspected to be a lung carcinogen. The assessment of this lung cancer risk has been limited by lack of studies of exposed workers followed for many years. In this study, we assessed lung cancer ... -
Luttinger Liquid of Polarons in One-Dimensional Boson-Fermion Mixtures
(American Physical Society (APS), 2004)We use the bosonization approach to investigate quantum phases of boson-fermion mixtures (BFM) of atoms confined to one dimension by an anisotropic optical lattice. For a BFM with a single species of fermions we find a ... -

Lyman forest-CMB cross-correlation and the search for the ionized baryons at high redshift
(Oxford University Press, 2006)The intergalactic neutral hydrogen, which is responsible for the Ly alpha forest of quasar absorption lines, is a tracer of much larger amounts of ionized hydrogen. The ionized component has yet to be detected directly, ...
