    • Concept Expansion as a Source of Empowerment 

      Cikara, Mina (Informa UK Limited, 2016)
      In the target article, Nick Haslam (this issue) explores the incidence, origins, and potential consequences of concept creep in psychology. He dedicates the majority of the article to documenting how concept creep has ...
    • Conceptions of Limited Attention and Discourse Focus 

      Grosz, Barbara; Gordon, Peter (Association for Computational Linguistics/MIT, 1999)
      Walker (1996) presents a cache model of the operation of attention in the processing of discourse as an alternative to the focus space stack that was proposed previously by Grosz and Sidner (Grosz 1977a; Grosz and Sidner ...
    • Concepts and Categories: A Cognitive Neuropsychological Perspective 

      Mahon, Bradford Z.; Caramazza, Alfonso (Annual Reviews, 2009)
      One of the most provocative and exciting issues in cognitive science is how neural specificity for semantic categories of common objects arises in the functional architecture of the brain. More than two decades of research ...
    • Concepts Are More than Percepts: The Case of Action Verbs 

      Bedny, Marina; Caramazza, Alfonso; Grossman, Emily; Pascual-Leone, Alvaro; Saxe, Rebecca (The Society for Neuroscience, 2008)
      Several regions of the posterior-lateral-temporal cortex (PLTC) are reliably recruited when participants read or listen to action verbs, relative to other word and nonword types. This PLTC activation is generally interpreted ...
    • Concepts for Enhanced Energy Absorption Using Hollow Micro-Lattices 

      Evans, A. G.; He, M. Y.; Deshpande, V.S.; Hutchinson, John W.; Jacobsen, A. J.; Barvosa-Carter, W. (Elsevier, 2010)
      We present a basic analysis that establishes the metrics affecting the energy absorbed by multilayer cellular media during irreversible compaction on either a mass or volume basis. The behaviors at low and high impulse ...
    • Conceptual and institutional gaps: understanding how the WHO can become a more effective cross-sectoral collaborator 

      Gopinathan, Unni; Watts, Nicholas; Hougendobler, Daniel; Lefebvre, Alex; Cheung, Arthur; Hoffman, Steven J.; Røttingen, John-Arne (BioMed Central, 2015)
      Background: Two themes consistently emerge from the broad range of academics, policymakers and opinion leaders who have proposed changes to the World Health Organization (WHO): that reform efforts are too slow, and that ...
    • Conceptual distinctiveness supports detailed visual long-term memory for real-world objects 

      Konkle, Talia A; Brady, Timothy F; Alvarez, George Angelo (American Psychological Association, 2010)
      Humans have a massive capacity to store detailed information in visual long-term memory. The present studies explored the fidelity of these visual long-term memory representations and examined how conceptual and perceptual ...
    • Conceptual Object Representations in Human Anterior Temporal Cortex 

      Peelen, M. V.; Caramazza, A. (Society for Neuroscience, 2012)
      Interaction with everyday objects requires the representation of conceptual object properties, such as where and how an object is used. What are the neural mechanisms that support this knowledge? While research on semantic ...
    • Conceptualism and Objectivity in Locke's Account of Natural Kinds 

      Kuklok, Allison Sara (2013-10-18)
      Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding is considered by many to be the locus classicus of a number of influential arguments for conventionalism, according to which there are no objective, privileged ways of classifying ...
    • Conceptualization of Health and Social Vulnerability of Marginalized Populations During Covid-19 Using Quantitative Scoring Approach 

      Aung, Thiri Shwesin; Fischer, Thomas B.; Wang, Yihan (Informa UK Limited, 2021-02-24)
      Covid-19 is a global health emergency and a systemic human development crisis. Marginalized populations’ ability to respond tends to be low and associated impacts can be serious for already vulnerable communities. The virus ...
    • Concerning RNA-guided gene drives for the alteration of wild populations 

      Esvelt, Kevin M; Smidler, Andrea L; Catteruccia, Flaminia; Church, George M (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2014)
      Gene drives may be capable of addressing ecological problems by altering entire populations of wild organisms, but their use has remained largely theoretical due to technical constraints. Here we consider the potential for ...
    • Concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution with 19F− and 18F− 

      Neumann, Constanze N.; Hooker, Jacob M.; Ritter, Tobias (2016)
      Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is widely used by organic chemists to functionalize aromatic molecules, and it is the most commonly used method to generate arenes that contain a 18F for use in PET imaging.1 A ...
    • Concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitutions 

      Kwan, Eugene; Zeng, Yuwen; Besser, Harrison; Jacobsen, Eric (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-16)
    • Concise comparative summaries (CCS) of large text corpora with a human experiment 

      Jia, Jinzhu; Miratrix, Luke Weisman; Yu, Bin; Gawalt, Brian; El Ghaoui, Laurent; Barnesmoore, Luke; Clavier, Sophie (Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2014)
      In this paper we propose a general framework for topic-specific summarization of large text corpora and illustrate how it can be used for the analysis of news databases. Our framework, concise comparative summarization ...
    • A Concise Synthesis of the Naphthoic Acid Component of Neocarzinostatin Chromophore Featuring a New Photocyclization Reaction 

      Myers, Andrew; Subramanian, Vijaya; Hammond, Marlys (Elsevier, 1995)
      A 6-step synthesis of the naphthoic acid component of the natural antitumor agent neocarzinostatin chromophore is described. The synthetic route employs a 4-bromo-3-methylanisole as the starting material, proceeds in 31-37% ...
    • Conclusion 

      Garrett, Geoffrey; Dobbin, Frank; Simmons, Beth Ann (Cambridge University Press, 2008)
      The diffusion of markets and democracy around the world was a defining feature of the late twentieth century. Many social scientists view this economic and political liberalization as the product of independent choices by ...
    • Concurrent Algorithms in Transactional Data Structures 

      Tsai, Lillian Y. (2017-07-14)
      Software transactional memory (STM) simplifies the challenging, yet increasingly critical task of parallel programming. Using STM allows programmers to reason about concurrent operations in terms of transactions—groups of ...

    • Concurrent electromigration and creep in lead-free solder 

      Pharr, Matt; Zhao, Kejie; Suo, Zhigang; Ouyang, Fan-Yi; Liu, Pilin (AIP Publishing, 2011)
      When electric current flows in a solder bump, electromigration generates stress, but creep relaxes it. After some time, the bump develops a steady-state stress field. We present a theory to show that the two processes - ...
