  The normal state resistivity of high temperature superconductors can be
probed in the region below Tc by suppressing the superconducting state in high
magnetic fields. Here we present the normal state properties of YBa2Cu3Ox thin
films in the underdoped regime and the normal state resistance of La2-xSrxCuO4
thin films under epitaxial strain, measured below Tc by applying pulsed fields
up to 60 T. A universal rho(T) behaviour is reported. We interpret these data
in terms of the recently proposed 1D quantum transport model with the 1D paths
corresponding to the charge stripes.
