    Description: Dreams for Dead Bodies: Blackness, Labor, and the Corpus of American Detective Fiction offers new arguments about the origins of detective fiction in the United States, tracing the lineage of the genre back to unexpected texts and uncovering how authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Rudolph Fisher made use of the genre’s puzzle-elements to explore the shifting dynamics of race and labor in America. The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction’s puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production. Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction.

    Description: The mid-Piacenzian climate represents the most geologically recent interval of long-term average warmth relative to the last million years, and shares similarities with the climate projected for the end of the 21st century. As such, it represents a natural experiment from which we can gain insight into potential climate change impacts, enabling more informed policy decisions for mitigation and adaptation. Here, we present the first systematic comparison of Pliocene sea surface temperature (SST) between an ensemble of eight climate model simulations produced as part of PlioMIP (Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project) with the PRISM (Pliocene Research, Interpretation and Synoptic Mapping) Project mean annual SST field. Our results highlight key regional and dynamic situations where there is discord between the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction and the climate model simulations. These differences have led to improved strategies for both experimental design and temporal refinement of the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction.

    Notes: Nd-Fe-B powder produced by conventional methods is pyrophoric, and exhibits poor corrosion resistance. Magnets made from powder are also susceptible to corrosion. Conventional methods of production are complicated, potentially hazardous, and relatively expensive. A novel, low cost, less hazardous method of producing powder and magnets with high corrosion resistance and Curie point is discussed. Nd-Fe-B alloys are milled in water, vacuum dried, and passivated at a suitable temperature in a nitrogen or carbon dioxide medium. During passivation, a protective layer, comprised of nitride and/or carbide phases, is formed in the surface region of the powder particles. This powder is not pyrophoric, and may be stored in a laboratory air environment for an extended period of time with no loss in magnetic properties. Compacted and sintered magnets produced from this powder are also highly corrosion resistant, and exhibit a higher Curie point compared to conventionally produced magnets. A description of the novel technology, and a discussion of the properties of Nd-Fe-B-C/N powder and magnets is given.

    Notes: A dual purpose pyrometer is described that allows both accurate radiance temperature measurement and fast temporal response. The system uses two silicon photodiodes with separate optical paths derived from a common spot on the sample. The optical bandwidths and response times of each detection circuit are tailored to the function of each radiometer. The radiance temperature of electromagnetically levitated metallic samples is measured over a narrow optical bandwidth with a high-gain silicon detector. The velocity of solidification of undercooled melts can be deduced from the rise time of the second silicon detector which samples a broad optical bandwidth and has a fast response time. Results from experiments on the undercooling and solidification behavior of electromagnetically levitated pure nickel show that the solidification velocity approaches 17 m/s at high undercooling.

    Notes: We report measurements of microwave surface resistance in Tl-based superconductor thin films made by laser ablation followed by a post-deposition thermal process. The films were measured by using cavity methods. The data at 9.5 and 148 GHz indicate that the residual resistance scales as f2. At 77 K, the 9.5 GHz surface resistance is ten times smaller than oxygen-free high-conductance copper at the same temperature and frequency. The 9.5 GHz measurement also indicates that the film-substrate interface does not cause more microwave loss than the film surface.

    Notes: Utilizing the containerless electrostatic levitation facility at NASA/MSFC, we were able to undercool the Ni59Nb41 (atomic) alloy by 210 K which was 160° farther than the results of previous flight experiments. Undercoolings were clustered around 200 K during the repeated melting–freezing cycles on a single sample. Prior to this work, a metastable liquid separation had been presumed to limit the undercooling of this alloy. However, microstructural observations have revealed that undercooling was limited by crystal nucleation. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Polarization effects in photoluminescence spectra of Eu3+ ions in tris(dinaphthoylmethane) (monophenanthroline)europium(III) complex [abbreviated hereafter as Eu(dnm)3phen] dispersed in stretched polyethylene (PE) reveal quasi-uniaxial alignment of the molecular complex, not present in the unstretched PE. The ligand field structure of Eu3+ 5D0–7F2 transition in the Eu(dnm)3phen single crystal differs from that of a single molecule in stretched PE, indicating rearrangement of the organic ligands upon stretching. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The photoluminescence (PL) and infrared absorbance of electrochemically anodized, initially nonphotoluminescent, porous silicon samples were examined as a function of hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching time. Transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurements revealed that the infrared absorbance from silicon hydrogen surface species immediately decreased with HF etching. In contrast, the PL did not appear until after HF etching times of 20–80 min, depending on initial sample porosity. Subsequently, the PL intensity increased, reached a maximum, and then progressively decreased versus HF etching time. These HF etching results demonstrate that there is no direct correlation between the PL and the silicon hydrogen surface species.

    Notes: The effect of thermal annealing and surface coverage on porous silicon photoluminescence was studied in situ in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber. These investigations correlated simultaneously temperature, surface coverage, and photoluminescence intensity. The surface coverage was monitored using transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the photoluminescence could not be defined only according to the presence of SiH2 surface species. Likewise, the disappearance of the photoluminescence versus thermal annealing did not scale directly with H2 desorption from SiH2 species. The loss of photoluminescence versus thermal annealing was attributed to surface structural changes or the production of surface states which provide pathways for nonradiative recombination.
