A Capabilities Approach to Successful Societies
(Council for European Studies, 2010) -
The Capacious Bibliographical Practice of Conrad Gessner
(University of Chicago Press, 2017-12) -
A capacitance-based micropositioning system for x-ray rocking curve measurements
(AIP Publishing, 1979)Certain types of x‐ray experiments require very precise angular positioning of crystals in the vicinity of the Bragg reflection condition. A system applicable to some measurement of this type is described which achieves a ... -
Capacitive Coupling of Atomic Systems to Mesoscopic Conductors
(American Physical Society, 2004)We describe a technique that enables a strong, coherent coupling between isolated neutral atoms and mesoscopic conductors. The coupling is achieved by exciting atoms trapped above the surface of a superconducting transmission ... -
The capacity of the human iliotibial band to store elastic energy during running
(Elsevier BV, 2015)The human iliotibial band (ITB) is a poorly understood fascial structure that may contribute to energy savings during locomotion. This study evaluated the capacity of the ITB to store and release elastic energy during ... -
The Capacity of Visual Short-Term Memory is Set Both by Visual Information Load and by Number of Objects
(SAGE Publications, 2004-02)Previous research has suggested that visual short-term memory has a fixed capacity of about four objects. However, we found that capacity varied substantially across the five stimulus classes we examined, ranging from 1.6 ... -
Capacity, Commitment, and Compliance
(SAGE Publications, 2002)Why should governments delegate decision-making authority over territorial issues to an international institution? This study argues that governments are motivated to reach territorial solutions to reduce the opportunity ... -
Capillary Filling of Anodized Alumina Nanopore Arrays
(American Physical Society, 2006)The filling behavior of a room temperature solvent, perfluoromethylcyclohexane, in approximately 20 nm nanoporous alumina membranes was investigated in situ with small angle x-ray scattering. Adsorption in the pores was ... -
Capillary Wave Fluctuations and Intrinsic Widths of Coupled Fluid-Fluid Interfaces: An X-ray Scattering Study of a Wetting Film on Bulk Liquid
(American Physical Society, 2006)An x-ray specular reflectivity (XR) and off-specular diffuse scattering (XDS) study of the coupled thermal capillary fluctuations and the intrinsic profiles of two interacting fluid-fluid interfaces is presented. The ... -
Capillary Waves on the Surface of Simple Liquids Measured by X-Ray Reflectivity
(American Physical Society, 1988)The properties of the liquid-vapor interface for three simple liquids (water, carbon tetrachloride, and methanol) have been measured using x-ray reflectivity. The measured surface roughness is interpreted using a model ... -
Capillary-Wave Roughening of Surface-Induced Layering in Liquid Gallium
(American Physical Society, 1996)The temperature dependence of surface-induced atomic layering in liquid gallium has been investigated with x-ray reflectivity. The prominent layering peak at \(q_z\)=2.4 Å\(^{-1}\) decreases dramatically upon heating from ... -
Capital Flows, Consumption Booms and Asset Bubbles: A Behavioural Alternative to the Savings Glut Hypothesis
(Royal Economic Society (Great Britain), 2010)Bernanke (2005) hypothesized that a “global savings glut” was causing large trade imbalances. However, we show that the global savings rates did not show a robust upward trend during the relevant period. Moreover, if there ... -
Capitalism Beyond the Crisis
(A. W. Ellsworth, 2009) -
Capped Plea Discounts and Prosecutorial Resources: A Multilateral Model of Plea Bargaining Under Asymmetric Information
(2017-07-14)This paper analyzes a multilateral model of plea bargaining with asymmetric information to investigate how prosecutorial resources affect the welfare implications of capped plea discounts. A plea discount is a reduction ... -
Capping Individual Tax Expenditure Benefits
(National Bureau of Economic Research, 2011)This paper analyzes a new way of reducing the major individual tax expenditures: capping the total amount that tax expenditures as a whole can reduce each individual's tax burden. More specifically, we examine the effect ... -
Capsid Protein VP4 of Human Rhinovirus Induces Membrane Permeability by the Formation of a Size-Selective Multimeric Pore
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Non-enveloped viruses must deliver their viral genome across a cell membrane without the advantage of membrane fusion. The mechanisms used to achieve this remain poorly understood. Human rhinovirus, a frequent cause of the ... -
Captive pandas are at risk from environmental toxins
(Ecological Society of America, 2016)Ex situ conservation efforts are the last resort for many critically endangered species and captive breeding centers are thought to provide a safe environment in which to produce individuals for eventual re-introduction ... -
Capture and Modeling of Non-Linear Heterogeneous Soft Tissue
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)This paper introduces a data-driven representation and modeling technique for simulating non-linear heterogeneous soft tissue. It simplifies the construction of convincing deformable models by avoiding complex selection ... -
Capture-recapture Estimation for Conflict Data and Hierarchical Models for Program Impact Evaluation
(2014-06-06)A relatively recent increase in the popularity of evidence-based activism has created a higher demand for statisticians to work on human rights and economic development projects. The statistical challenges of revealing ...
