Rotational Dynamics of Coumarin 153: Time-Dependent Friction, Dielectric Friction, and Other Nonhydrodynamic Effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the rotational anisotropy decays of coumarin 153 are generally nonexponential as a result of the non-Markovian nature of the friction on its rotational motion.

1991 I.I. Rabi Award. Estimating oxygen saturation of blood in vivo with MR imaging at 1.5 T.

TL;DR: Encouraging initial results support a more systematic study of potential sources of error and an examination of the accuracy of in vivo measurements by comparison with direct measurements of %HbO2 in vessels.

Constructing event trees for volcanic crises

TL;DR: Event trees are useful frameworks for discussing probabilities of possible outcomes of volcanic unrest as discussed by the authors, where each branch of the tree leads from a necessary prior event to a more specific outcome, e.g., from an eruption to a pyroclastic flow.

Seismic moment assessment of earthquakes in stable continental regions?I. Instrumental seismicity

TL;DR: In this paper, the seismic moment and moment magnitude of all earthquakes of stable continental regions (SCR) for which instrumental or intensity data exist were determined using polynomial regression analysis.

Photometric phase functions of common geologic minerals and applications to quantitative analysis of mineral mixture reflectance spectra

TL;DR: In this paper, the mass fractional abundance of components in intimately mixed, particulate surfaces is calculated from laboratory reflectance spectra using Hapke's (1981) model for bidirectional reflectance.
