From
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3827/#pubmedhelp.Search_Field_Descrip some useful field descriptors, include:
Last author = [Lastau]
First author = [1au]
Grant = [GR]
Here are some examples employing these from the end of 2012:
(1) My overall query {Q} (from papers page, http://papers.gersteinlab.org) =

Interesting discussion about the creation of smart rocks and smart pebbles, which allow the tracking of current. These contain a data logger embedded in either aluminum or plastic. The tricky bit is how one finds them after they have been dropped off. Some ways might be radio transmitters, metal detectors and so forth but all of these have downsides.
