Concise comparative summaries (CCS) of large text corpora with a human experiment
(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
(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
(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
(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 Channel Access and Estimation for Scalable Multiuser MIMO Networking
(2012-07-26)This paper presents the design of MIMO/CON (“MIMO with concurrent channel access and estimation”), a PHY/MAC cross-layer design delivering throughput scalable to many users for multiuser MIMO wireless networking. By allowing ... -
Concurrent electromigration and creep in lead-free solder
(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 - ... -
Concurrent Reaction and Plasticity during Initial Lithiation of Crystalline Silicon in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Concurrent Validity of the Child Behavior Checklist DSM-Oriented Scales: Correspondence with DSM Diagnoses and Comparison to Syndrome Scales
(Springer Verlag, 2009)This study used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methodology and discriminative analyses to examine the correspondence of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) rationally-derived DSM-oriented scales and empirically-derived ... -
Concussion management in US college football: progress and pitfalls
(2015)Reducing the frequency and severity of concussions from sport is an important issue in public health currently addressed by a multifaceted approach. Given the large number of participants and the comparatively high risk ... -
Concussions and youth football: using a public health law framework to head off a potential public health crisis
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Concussion from sport is increasingly recognized as a public health priority. In response, all states and the District of Columbia have enacted youth concussion legislation. This paper first examines key developments in ... -
Condensation on slippery asymmetric bumps
(Springer Nature, 2016)Controlling dropwise condensation is fundamental to water- harvesting systems1–3, desalination4, thermal power generation4–8, air conditioning9, distillation towers10, and numerous other applications4,5,11. For any of ... -
Condensed-matter physics: Catching relativistic electrons
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Low-energy electrons have been found to mimic relativistic high-energy particles in cadmium arsenide. This defines the first stable '3D Dirac semimetal', which holds promise for fundamental-physics exploration and practical ... -
Conditional Universal Consistency
(Elsevier, 1999)Players choose an action before learning an outcome chosen according to an unknown and history-dependent stochastic rule. Procedures that categorize outcomes, and use a randomized variation on fictitious play within each ... -
Conducting Social Network and Social Norm Research in Low-Resource Settings: Food Insecurity, Depression, and HIV Testing in Rural Uganda
(2015-05-18)This dissertation examines the role of social networks and social norms in health outcomes and behaviors among low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), with a particular focus on Uganda. Paper 1 presents a systematic review ... -
Conductivity of weakly disordered strange metals: From conformal to hyperscaling-violating regimes
(Elsevier BV, 2015)We present a semi-analytic method for constructing holographic black holes that interpolate from anti-de Sitter space to hyperscaling-violating geometries. These are holographic duals of conformal field theories in the ... -
Confessional Fictions: Penance in Medieval Romance c.1150-1450
(2020-09-11)This study explores medieval romance in relation to religious changes from the twelfth to fifteenth centuries. While the genre has been viewed as secular literature in tension with spiritual instruction, authors such as ... -
A Configurable Terasample-per-second Imaging System for Optical SETI
(2013-10-08)A new instrument for conducting astronomical searches for nanosecond-scale optical pulses has been designed, built, and is now operating at Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, MA. The Advanced All-sky Camera, based on the ... -
Confined Organization of Fullerene Units Along High Polymer Chains
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2013)Conductive fullerene \((C_{60})\) units were designed to be arranged in one dimensional close contact by locally organizing them with covalent bonds in a spatially constrained manner. Combined molecular dynamics and quantum ... -
Confinement transition to density wave order in metallic doped spin liquids
(American Physical Society (APS), 2016)Insulating quantum spin liquids can undergo a confinement transition to a valence bond solid via the condensation of topological excitations of the associated gauge theory. We extend the theory of such transitions to ... -
Confinement-Enhanced Electron Transport across a Metal-Semiconductor Interface
(American Physical Society (APS), 2001)We present a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and ballistic electron emission microscopy study of electron transport across an epitaxial Pb/Si(111) interface. Experiments with a self-assembled Pb nanoscale wedge ...
