BIFROST project: 3-D crustal deformation rates derived from GPS confirm postglacial rebound in Fennoscandia
(SpringerOpen, 2001)Since autumn 1993 the BIFROST project has provided daily GPS solutions of geodetic positions from a network of more than 40 stations covering, a large area of the Baltic shield. This area is expected to show large vertical ... -
The Big and the Small: Challenges of Imaging the Brain's Circuits
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2011)The relation between the structure of the nervous system and its function is more poorly understood than the relation between structure and function in any other organ system. We explore why bridging the structure-function ... -
Big Data and Disease: Using Twitter to Model the 2014 Outbreak of Chikungunya Fever in Puerto Rico
(2015-06-26)Big data has enabled an entirely new approach to solving and understanding problems. With the popularity of social media, data is created by individuals. We believe that embedded in the big data of social media, like ... -
The Big Data Problem: Turning Maps into Knowledge
(Elsevier BV, 2014)In this NeuroView, Engert discusses the challenges for the connectomics field in making insights about brain function from big data. -
Big ideas paper: Policy-driven middleware for a legally-compliant Internet of Things
(2016)Internet of Things (IoT) applications, systems and services are subject to law. We argue that for the IoT to develop lawfully, there must be technical mechanisms that allow the enforcement of specified policy, such that ... -
The Big Man Mechanism: how prestige fosters cooperation and creates prosocial leaders
(The Royal Society, 2015)Anthropological evidence from diverse societies suggests that prestige-based leadership may provide a foundation for cooperation in many contexts. Here, inspired by such ethnographic observations and building on a foundation ... -
Big Names, Bigger Barriers: Firm Reputation and its Role as a Barrier to Entry
(2021-06-17)We investigate the potential for barriers to entry for new firms and an implicit tuition in worker wages stemming from incumbent reputation. To do so, we introduce two models of worker preferences within a framework of ... -
A Bike-Powered Washing Machine for Use on the International Space Station
(2015-06-26)As it stands, there are currently no means to wash clothing aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Astronauts are forced to re-wear their soiled clothes, despite having to exercise over two hours per day. Instead ... -
Bilateral Contracts
(Elsevier Science B.V., 1983)A mathematical characterization of self-enforcing bilateral contracts is given. Contracts where both parties exercise some control over the quantity traded can sometimes be superior to contracts that rest control entirely ... -
Bilateral Nerve Alterations in a Unilateral Experimental Neurotrophic Keratopathy Model: A Lateral Conjunctival Approach for Trigeminal Axotomy
(Public Library of Science, 2013)To study bilateral nerve changes in a newly developed novel mouse model for neurotrophic keratopathy by approaching the trigeminal nerve from the lateral fornix. Surgical axotomy of the ciliary nerve of the trigeminal nerve ... -
Bilayer Coherent and Quantum Hall Phases: Duality and Quantum Disorder
(American Physical Society (APS), 2001)We consider a fully spin-polarized quantum Hall system with no interlayer tunneling at total filling factor n 3 1 k (where k is an odd integer) using the Chern-Simons-Ginzburg-Landau theory. Exploit- ing particle-vortex ... -
Bilayer Mechanical Properties Regulate Transmembrane Helix Mobility and Enzymatic State of CD39
(American Chemical Society, 2005)CD39 can exist in at least two distinct functional states depending on the presence and intact membrane integration of its two transmembrane helices. In native membranes, the transmembrane helices undergo dynamic rotational ... -
Bilayer paired quantum Hall states and Coulomb drag
(American Physical Society (APS), 2001)We consider a number of strongly correlated quantum Hall states that are likely to be realized in bilayer quantum Hall systems at total Landau level filling fraction T 1. One state, the (3,3, 1) state, can occur as an ... -
Bilayer quantum Hall systems: spin–pseudospin symmetry breaking and quantum phase transitions
(Elsevier BV, 2001)We discuss and review recent advances in our understanding of quantum Hall systems where additional quantum numbers associated with spin and/or layer (pseudospin) indices play crucial roles in creating exotic quantum phases. ... -

Bilder in der Kirche, im Herzen oder gar nirgends? Überlegungen zu Periodisierungen am Beispiel des Bilderstreits in der Frühen Neuzeit
(Akademieverlag, 2013-02-04)Wir schreiben den vorliegenden Artikel als zwei an amerikanischen Universitäten tätige Mediävisten: als ein in London geborener und in den USA aufgewachsener Kunsthistoriker mit teils deutschen Wurzeln und als eine in der ... -
Bile acid metabolism by gut bacteria
(2024-05-31)The human gut microbiome significantly affects host biology. In particular, gut bacteria modify important pools of molecules that impact host physiology. Therefore, further studies of gut bacterial metabolism will provide ... -
A Bilinear Illumination Model for Robust Face Recognition
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2005)We present a technique to generate an illumination subspace for arbitrary 3D faces based on the statistics of measured illuminations under variable lighting conditions from many subjects. A bilinear model based on the ... -
Bilingual neurons release glutamate and GABA
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)A study finds evidence supporting co-release of glutamate and GABA, excitatory and inhibitory fast neurotransmitters, from a single axon terminal in neurons of the ventral tegmental area that project to the lateral habenula. -
