Increasing background ozone in surface air over the United States
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000)The long-term trend of background O3 in surface air over the United States from 1980 to 1998 is examined using monthly probability distributions of daily maximum 8-hour average O3 concentrations at a large ensemble of rural ... -
Increasing Black Hole Feedback-induced Quenching with Anisotropic Thermal Conduction
(American Astronomical Society, 2017)Feedback from central supermassive black holes is often invoked to explain the low star formation rates (SFRs) in the massive galaxies at the centers of galaxy clusters. However, the detailed physics of the coupling of the ... -
Increasing CO2 threatens human nutrition
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Dietary deficiencies of zinc and iron are a substantial global public health problem. An estimated two billion people suffer these deficiencies1, causing a loss of 63 million life-years annually2, 3. Most of these people ... -
Increasing Health Insurance Costs and the Decline in Health Insurance Coverage
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2005)Objective. To determine the impact of rising health insurance premiums on coverage rates. Data Sources & Study Setting. Our analysis is based on two cohorts of nonelderly Americans residing in 64 large metropolitan ... -
Increasing Migration, Diverging Communities: Changing Character of Migrant Streams in Rural Thailand
(Springer Verlag, 2009)This paper studies how increasing migration changes the character of migrant streams in sending communities. Cumulative causation theory posits that past migration patterns determine future flows, as prior migrants provide ... -
Increasing Model Accuracy, System Efficiency and Data Security of Distributed Computing for Deep Neural Networks
(2023-05-11)Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have demonstrated efficacy in numerous applications, such as image recognition and natural language processing. Consequently, connected edge devices see increased demand for DNN computation while ... -
Incremental Dental Development: Methods and Applications in Hominoid Evolutionary Studies
(Elsevier, 2008)This survey of dental microstructure studies reviews recent methods used to quantify developmental variables (daily secretion rate, periodicity of long-period lines, extension rate, formation time) and applications to the ... -
Incremental Negotiation and Coalition Formation for Resource-bounded Agents: Preliminary Report
(Assocation for the Advancement of Artifical Intelligence, 2002)We explore a class of task allocation mechanisms that are incremental and can be tuned to the computational resource limitations of agents. Our focus is on distributed task and resource allocation problems involving ... -
Incremental PEG Parsing
(2021-06-04)Code analysis software in a text editor or IDE must repeatedly parse source code whenever an edit occurs. In many cases, a user's edit will affect only the parse of nearby characters, meaning a full-document reparse is ... -
Ind-Coherent Sheaves
(Independent University of Moscow, 2013)We develop the theory of ind-coherent sheaves on schemes and stacks. The category of ind-coherent sheaves is closely related, but inequivalent, to the category of quasi-coherent sheaves, and the difference becomes crucial ... -
Indentation of polydimethylsiloxane submerged in organic solvents
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2011)This work uses a method based on indentation to characterize a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer submerged in an organic solvent (decane, heptane, pentane, or cyclohexane). An indenter is pressed into a disk of a swollen ... -
Independent India of Plenty: Food, Hunger, and Nation-Building in Modern India
(2014-06-06)This dissertation situates debates over food procurement, provision, and hunger as the key economic and social contestations structuring the late colonial and postcolonial Indian state. It juxtaposes the visions of national ... -
An Independent Measurement of the Incidence of MgII Absorbers along Gamma-Ray Burst Sightlines: the End of the Mystery?
(IOP Publishing, 2013)In 2006, Prochter et al. reported a statistically significant enhancement of very strong Mg II absorption systems intervening the sightlines to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) relative to the incidence of such absorption along ... -
Independent phylogenetic origins of methanotrophic and chemoautotrophic bacterial endosymbioses in marine bivalves
(American Society for Microbiology, 1994)The discovery of bacterium-bivalve symbioses capable of utilizing methane as a carbon and energy source indicates that the endosymbionts of hydrothermal vent and cold seep bivalves are not restricted to sulfur-oxidizing ... -
Independent Representations of Verbs and Actions in Left Lateral Temporal Cortex
(MIT Press - Journals, 2012)Verbs and nouns differ not only on formal linguistic grounds but also in what they typically refer to: Verbs typically refer to actions, whereas nouns typically refer to objects. Prior neuroimaging studies have revealed ... -
Independent Resources for Attentional Tracking in the Left and Right Visual Hemifields
(SAGE Publications, 2005-08-01)The ability to divide attention enables people to keep track of up to four independently moving objects. We now show that this tracking capacity is independently constrained in the left and right visual fields as if separate ... -
Indeterminate “Greekness”: A Diasporic and Transnational Poetics
(2022-06-06)As a critical concept, “Greekness” indeterminately characterizes ancient constructions and their contemporary reception histories, rendering it elusive to disciplinary definition. This dissertation reconceives of its ... -
Index of refraction of molecular nitrogen for sodium matter waves
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We calculate the index of refraction of sodium matter waves propagating through a gas of nitrogen molecules. We use a recent ab initio potential for the ground state of the NaN2 van der Waals complex to perform quantal ... -
Index of refraction of noble gases for sodium matter waves
(American Physical Society, 1996)
