The effects of the magnetic field Delta B = B-B-1/2 applied to the hal
f-filled Landau level (nu = 1/2) are studied for the quantum transport
in the framework of the composite fermions and Chern-Simons gauge fie
ld. The anomalously large positive magneto-resistance and the Delta B-
dependent quantum correction to the conductance with lnT dependence. T
being the temperature, are explained hy the gauge theory taking into
account the particle-hole symmetry at nu = 1/2.
