[Letter and Questionaire: From A. L. Stell to T. N. Carswell - June 7, 1945]
No full textA letter written to Mr. T. N. Carswell, Chairman, Foreign Relations Committee, 17th District, The American Legion, Abilene, Texas, from Albert L. Stell, Commander, 17th District, The American Legion, Anson, Texas, dated June 7, 1945. Stell acknowledges the receipt of the letter from Carswell in which he advises of his plan to attend the Summer War Conference and confides that Carswell has been missed during the past two years. He requests that Carswell send out the forms to the posts due to a lack of time to do so himself. He explains that Al Jr. is home on leave for the first time in 16 months so he is trying to be with him as much as possible, that Al Jr. will leave for parts unknown in a week. Attachment includes: Rough draft of a questionaire handwritten by Carswell and pertaining to a World Organization for Peace. Questonaire asks four questions and requests that recipient fill out and mail at once to T. N. Carswell, District Chairman Foreign Relations Committee, Abilene, Texas
Liquid-gas phase behavior of an argon-like fluid modelled by the hard-core two-Yukawa potential
No full textWe study a model for an argon-like fluid parameterized in terms of a hard-core repulsion and a two-Yukawa potential. The liquid-gas phase behavior of the model is obtained from the thermodynamically Self-Consistent Ornstein-Zernike Approximation (SCOZA) of Hoye and Stell, the solution of which lends itself particularly well to a pair potential of this form. The predictions for the critical point and the coexistence curve are compared to new high resolution simulation data and to other liquid-state theories, including the hierarchical reference theory (HRT) of Parola and Reatto. Both SCOZA and HRT deliver results that are considerably more accurate than standard integral-equation approaches. Among the versions of SCOZA considered, the one yielding the best agreement with simulation successfully predicts the critical point parameters to within 1%
Jack Stell Diplomas
No full textJack Sydney Stell was born in Arkansas on June 6, 1889, to William Dallas Stell and Mary Catherin Green Stell. The Stell family apparently chose one son, Jack, to educate. Jack attended Ouachita Baptist College (now Ouachita Baptist University) and graudated in 1913. He went on to become a medical doctor and surgeon. He finished his career as chief of staff at Saint Joseph\u27s Hospital in Hot Springs. He was married to Ruth Ann Ross Stell, and lived until July 31, 1954. Stell is buried at the Bucksnort Cemetery in Dallas County, Arkansas. The inscription on his gravestone reads, That good physician liveth yet.
This collection consists of diplomas from Ouachita Baptist College issued in 1913 to Jack S. Stell
Thermodynamically self-consistent theory of structure for three-dimensional lattice gases
No full textRecently, methods were developed to solve with high accuracy the equations that describe a thermodynamically self-consistent theory for the two-body correlation function, and preliminary results were reported for three-dimensional lattice gases with nearest-neighbor attractive interaction [R. Dickman and G. Stell, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 996 (1996)]. Here we give a detailed description of our methods and of the results, which are found to be remarkably accurate for both the thermodynamics and structure of these systems. In particular, critical temperatures are predicted to within 0.2% of the best estimates from series expansions. Although above the critical temperature the theory yields the same critical exponents as the spherical model, this asymptotic behavior sets in only in a very narrow region around the critical point, so that the apparent exponents and the thermodynamics are well reproduced up to reduced temperatures of around 10(-2). On the coexistence curve, on the other hand, the exponents are nonspherical, and considerably more accurate than the spherical ones. For instance, the exponent beta(coex) predicted by the theory for the shape of the coexistence curve is beta(coex)=0.35
FLUCTUATION OF ESTROGEN RECEPTOR TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVITY IN PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS: FUNCTIONAL CONSEQUENCES
No full textWe have studied the dynamics of estrogen receptor (ER) activity in whole living animal through the application of in vivo imaging to the ERE-Luc mice, characterized by the hormone-inducible, generalized, expression of the ERE-driven luciferase gene. The analysis shows that ER transcriptional activity oscillates in time with an average period of 4.5 days and an amplitude which appears to be related to the amount and the chemical nature of the circulating estrogens. Particularly, the study in vivo shows that ER activity does not oscillate synchronously in every organ, and that the phasing of oscillation among organs changes in consideration to circulating estrogens; however, in liver we observe a pattern of activity that mimics the levels of estradiol in the bloodstream. We therefore investigated the physiological changes in hepatic tissue following the changes in ER activity at different phases of estrus cycle: at proestrus, when circulating estrogens are high, and metestrus, characterized by a low amount of circulating hormones. Livers of intact female mice, euthanized at the desired phase, were harvested, and a whole genome analysis of Estrogen Receptor binding sites and an expression profiling were carried out. Our results indicate that different levels of estradiol affect the ability of hepatic tissue to shift its metabolic state, since the hormonal fluctuations translates in a definite pattern of transcripts levels of genes involved particularly in lipid and cholesterol metabolism. Moreover, estrogenic action appears to play a central role on the control of hepatic energetic metabolism in other physiological states of female life cycle, such as puberty, pregnancy and menopause

Globally accurate theory of structure and thermodynamics for soft-matter liquids
No full textStandard statistical mechanical approximations (e.g. mean-field approximations) for pair-correlation functions of strongly interacting systems that yield adequate thermodynamics away from critical points typically break down badly in critical regions. The self-consistent Ornstein-Zemike approximation (SCOZA) transcends this difficulty, yielding globally accurate Structure and thermodynamics. The SCOZA has been applied successfully to a variety of Hamiltonian models and the result will be briefly summarized. We end with a progress report on the applications of the SCOZA to some soft-matter systems
