Collateral Consequences: How Increased Incarceration Rates Transform Parenting and Partnership in Low-Income Boston Neighborhoods
(2018-05-02)The War on Drugs and subsequent growth of the U.S. prison system has disproportionately affected low-income individuals living in inner-cities. Since the 1980’s, men of color without a high school degree have been ... -
Collecting and Researching in the History of Books
(Friends of the Princeton University Library, 2005) -
Collecting Provenance via the Xen Hypervisor
(USENIX Association, 2011)The Provenance Aware Storage Systems project (PASS) currently collects system-level provenance by intercepting system calls in the Linux kernel and storing the provenance in a stackable filesystem. While this approach is ... -
A collection of non-human primate computed tomography scans housed in MorphoSource, a repository for 3D data
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)A dataset of high-resolution microCT scans of primate skulls (crania and mandibles) and certain postcranial elements was collected to address questions about primate skull morphology. The sample consists of 489 scans taken ... -
Collective Accountability among the Sages of Ancient Israel
(2013-09-30)The purpose of this dissertation is to consider Israel's biblical wisdom traditions comments on collective accountability in a systematic way. In order to accomplish this, each of five biblical wisdom books--Proverbs, ... -
Collective Action, Heterogeneous Loyalties and Path Dependence: Micro-evidence from Senegal
(Oxford University Press, 2004)In Senegal, we encountered a situation in which a minority group of migrant fishermen had completely different sets of expectations regarding a collective action depending on the location where they operated. In one village ... -
Collective atomic scattering and motional effects in a dense coherent medium
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)We investigate collective emission from coherently driven ultracold 88Sr atoms. We perform two sets of experiments using a strong and weak transition that are insensitive and sensitive, respectively, to atomic motion at 1 ... -
Collective Bargaining Laws, Threat Effects, and the Determination of Police Compensation
(University of Chicago Press, 1989)This article demonstrates that state collective bargaining laws are important determinants of union and nonunion public employee compensation. State laws that provide stronger bargaining rights and ensure closure to the ... -
The Collective Commentary as Reference Genre
(Walter de Gruyter, 2006)The commentary has long been a particularly versatile genre. The continuous commentary on a text is the most widespread and long-lived model, generating ancient scholia, medieval manuscripts displaying a central island of ... -
Collective Construction by Termite-Inspired Robots
(2014-10-21)Construction usually involves careful preplanning and direct human operation of tools and material. Bringing automation to construction has the potential to improve its speed and efficiency, and to enable building in ... -
Collective Cyclotron Motion of the Relativistic Plasma in Graphene
(American Physical Society, 2008)We present a theory of the finite temperature thermoelectric response functions of graphene in the hydrodynamic regime where electron-electron collisions dominate the scattering. In moderate magnetic fields, the Dirac ... -
Collective Decision-Making in Multi-Agent Systems by Implicit Leadership
(Association for Computing Machinery Press, 2010)Coordination within decentralized agent groups frequently requires reaching global consensus, but typical hierarchical approaches to reaching such decisions can be complex, slow, and not fault-tolerant. By contrast, recent ... -
Collective Dynamics from Heterogeneous Interactions in Socioeconomic Networks
(2021-07-12)Understanding the drivers of human behavior is central to uncovering insights into how our social worlds are shaped. Modeling these social dynamics has widespread applications in computational social science such as driving ... -
Collective Dynamics in Physical and Social Networks
(2016-05-03)We study four systems where individual units come together to display a range of collective behavior. First, we consider a physical system of phase oscillators on a network that expands the Kuramoto model to include ... -
The Collective Dynamics of Smoking in a Large Social Network
(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2008)Background: The prevalence of smoking has decreased substantially in the United States over the past 30 years. We examined the extent of the person-to-person spread of smoking behavior and the extent to which groups of ... -
Collective Electronic Phenomena in Layered Metal Oxides: From Static to Dynamic
(2022-01-14)This thesis presents the theoretical, computational and/or experimental studies of the collective electronic phenomena in layered sodium transition-metal oxide (NaTMO2), with the TM being all seven types of 3d-transition ... -
Collective excitations of quasi-two-dimensional trapped dipolar fermions: Transition from collisionless to hydrodynamic regime
(American Physical Society, 2012)We study the collective excitations of polarized single-component quasi-two-dimensional dipolar fermions in an isotropic harmonic trap by solving the collisional Boltzmann-Vlasov (CBV) equation via the method of moments. ... -
Collective generation of milliemulsions by step-emulsification
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)Emulsification is a key step in many processes for the production and functionalization of dispersed liquid systems. Here, we report a versatile and robust device that generates monodisperse milliemulsions by stepemulsification. ... -
Collective Phenomena in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Fermionic Polar Molecules: Band Renormalization and Excitons
(American Physical Society, 2011)We theoretically analyze a quasi-two-dimensional system of fermionic polar molecules in a harmonic transverse confining potential. The renormalized energy bands are calculated by solving the Hartree-Fock equation numerically ...
