Bi-Musical Moves In Luis Humberto Crosthwaite and Little Joe Hernández
(University of Arizona, Department of German Studies, 2012)Meditating on works of fiction such as Crosthwaite’s El gran preténder (1992) and Laviera’s AmeRican (1985), this article proposes bi-musicality (Hood 1960) as both a link between sociolinguistics and literary aesthetics ... -
The biabsolutive construction in Lak and Tsez
(Elsevier BV, 2014)In ergative constructions, the agent of a transitive verb is in the ergative case and the theme is in the absolutive case. By contrast, in biabsolutive constructions, both the agent and theme of a transitive verb appear ... -
Bias bounds and target trials for causal inference in observational epidemiology
(2021-05-13)Observational epidemiology is critical for understanding population health but requires careful consideration of possible biases. Tools for avoiding and managing these biases are essential. This dissertation describes and ... -
Bias in Template-to-Product Ratios in Multitemplate PCR
(American Society for Microbiology, 1998)Bias introduced by the simultaneous amplification of specific genes from complex mixtures of templates remains poorly understood. To explore potential causes and the extent of bias in PCR amplification of 16S ribosomal ... -
Bias–Variance and Breadth–Depth Tradeoffs in Respondent-Driven Sampling
(Informa UK Limited, 2013)Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) is a link-tracing network sampling strategy for collecting data from hard-to-reach populations, such as injection drug users or individuals at high risk of being infected with HIV. The ... -
Bible Leaves! Bible Leaves! Hellenism and Hebraism in Melville's Moby-Dick
(Duke University Press, 1998)"'Bible Leaves! Bible Leaves!': Hebraism and Hellenism in Melville's Moby-Dick" argues that Herman Melville is Hellenism's severest American critic, and his greatest book, a sustained defense of the Hebraic "letter." Using ... -
Bibliography as Anthropometry: Dreaming Scientific Order at the fin de siècle
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2013)The 1890s saw an explosion of ambitious projects to build a massive classification of knowledge that would serve as a basis for universal catalogues of scientific publishing. The largest of these were the rival International ... -

BICEP2 / Keck Array IX: New Bounds on Anisotropies of CMB Polarization Rotation and Implications for Axionlike Particles and Primordial Magnetic Fields
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-11-09)We present the strongest constraints to date on anisotropies of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization rotation derived from 150 GHz data taken by the BICEP2 & Keck Array CMB experiments up to and including the ... -
BICEP2 / Keck Array V: Measurements of B-mode Polarization at Degree Angular Scales and 150 GHz by the Keck Array
(IOP Publishing, 2015)The Keck Array is a system of cosmic microwave background polarimeters, each similar to the Bicep2 experiment. In this paper we report results from the 2012 to 2013 observing seasons, during which the Keck Array consisted ... -
BICEP2 and Keck array operational overview and status of observations
(SPIE, 2012)The Bicep2 and Keck Array experiments are designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 2-4 degrees (ℓ = 50–100). This is the region in which the B-mode signal, a signature ... -
BICEP2 III: Instrumental Systematics
(IOP Publishing, 2015)In a companion paper, we have reported a >5σ detection of degree scale B-mode polarization at 150 GHz by the Bicep2 experiment. Here we provide a detailed study of potential instrumental systematic contamination to that ... -
BICEP2. II. Experiment and three-year data set
(IOP Publishing, 2014)We report on the design and performance of the BICEP2 instrument and on its three-year data set. BICEP2 was designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 1°-5°(l = ... -
BICEP2/Keck Array VIII: Measurement of Gravitational Lensing from Large-scale B-Mode Polarization.
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)We present measurements of polarization lensing using the 150 GHz maps, which include all data taken by the BICEP2 and Keck Array Cosmic Microwave Background polarization experiments up to and including the 2014 observing ... -
bicep2/Keck Array. IV. Optical Characterization and Performance of the Bicep2 and Keck Array Experiments
(IOP Publishing, 2015)bicep2 and the Keck Array are polarization-sensitive microwave telescopes that observe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search of a signature of inflation imprinted as ... -
Bicep2/keck Array. Vii. Matrix Basede/bseparation Applied to Bicep2 and the Keck Array
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)A linear polarization field on the sphere can be uniquely decomposed into an E-mode and a B-mode component. These two components are analytically defined in terms of spin-2 spherical harmonics. Maps that contain filtered ... -
BICEP2/SPUD: searching for inflation with degree scale polarimetry from the South Pole
(SPIE, 2008)BICEP2/SPUD is the new powerful upgrade of the existing BICEP1 experiment, a bolometric receiver to study the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which has been in operation at the South Pole since ...
