The Empirical Turn in International Economic Law
(University of Minnesota Law School, 2011) -
An Empirical Ultraviolet Template for Iron Emission in Quasars as Derived from I Zwicky 1
(IOP Publishing, 2001)We present an empirical template spectrum suitable for fitting and subtracting/studying the Fe II and Fe III emission lines in the rest frame ultraviolet spectra of quasars and active galactic nuclei, the first empirical ... -
Empirical versus Theoretical Claims about Extreme Counterfactuals: A Response
(Oxford University Press, 2009)In response to the data-based measures of model dependence proposed in King and Zeng (2006), Sambanis and Michaelides (2008) propose alternative measures that rely upon assumptions untestable in observational data. If ... -
Empirically evaluating the WHO global code of practice on the international recruitment of health personnel’s impact on four high-income countries four years after adoption
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Shortages of health workers in low-income countries are exacerbated by the international migration of health workers to more affluent countries. This problem is compounded by the active recruitment of health ... -
Employee Crime and the Monitoring Puzzle
(University of Chicago Press, 1989)The simplest economic theories of crime predict that profit-maximizing firms should follow strategies of minimal monitoring with large penalties for employee crime. We investigate possible reasons why firms actually spend ... -
Employee Perceptions of Working Conditions and the Desire for Worker Representation in Britain and the US
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)This paper explores the link between employee perceptions of working conditions and the desire for worker representation in Britain and the US. We find that the distribution of employee perceptions of poor working conditions ... -
Empowering 21st Century Biology
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010)Several lists of grand challenges in biology have been published recently, highlighting the strong need to answer fundamental questions about how life evolves and is governed, and how to apply this knowledge to solve the ... -
Empowerment contributes to exploration behaviour in a creative video game
(Springer-Nature, 2022-01-14)<p>Studies of human exploration frequently cast people as serendipitously stumbling upon good options. Yet these studies may not capture the richness of exploration strategies that people exhibit in more complex environments. ... -
Emptiness and the Production of Bodies in the Architecture of Teotihuacan, Mexico
(2021-05-17)This dissertation comprises the first monographic architectural history of the ceremonial center of Teotihuacan, Mexico, the largest city of the pre-Hispanic Indigenous Americas. Inhabited between ca. 0-600 C.E., Teotihuacan’s ... -
Emulation of complex open quantum systems using superconducting qubits
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-12-28)With quantum computers being out of reach for now, quantum simulators are the alternative devices for efficient and more exact simulation of problems that are challenging on conventional computers. ... -
An en masse Phenotype and Function Prediction System for Mus musculus
(BioMed Central, 2008)Background: Individual researchers are struggling to keep up with the accelerating emergence of high-throughput biological data, and to extract information that relates to their specific questions. Integration of accumulated ... -
Enabling a High Throughput Real Time Data Pipeline for a Large Radio Telescope Array with GPUs
(Elsevier, 2010)The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a next-generation radio telescope currently under construction in the remote Western Australia Outback. Raw data will be generated continuously at 5 GiB s\(^{−1}\), grouped into 8 s ... -
Enabling Emerging, Heterogeneous Memory Systems
(2022-05-10)Optimizing data storage and data movement remain critical roadblocks to overall computing performance and efficiency. These barriers are due to a convergence of motivating factors that begins with the memory wall and ... -
Enabling Environment Design via Active Indirect Elicitation
(2008)Many situations arise in which an interested party wishes to affect the decisions of an agent; e.g., a teacher that seeks to promote particular study habits, a Web 2.0 site that seeks to encourage users to contribute ... -
Enabling Geographic Research Across Disciplines: Building an Institutional Infrastructure for Geographic Analysis at Harvard University
(Informa UK Limited, 2011)Founded in 1818, the Harvard Map Collection (HMC) is the oldest map collection in America, holding 400,000 maps, more than 6,000 atlases and thousands of reference books. HMC has a strong commitment to digital resources ... -
Enabling High Performance, Efficient, and Sustainable Deep Learning Systems At Scale
(2022-09-15)The world has witnessed an exponential rise in AI, particularly deep learning-based engines, over the last decade. These deep learning-based AI engines form the backbone of the modern Internet, determining how we interact ... -
Enabling Martian Habitability With Silica Aerogel via the Solid-State Greenhouse Effect
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-15)The low temperatures and high ultraviolet radiation levels at the surface of Mars today currently preclude the survival of life anywhere except perhaps in limited subsurface niches4. Several ideas for making the Martian ... -
Enabling Sharing in Auctions for Short-Term Spectrum Licenses
(Cambridge University Press, 2013)Wireless spectrum is a valuable and scarce resource that currently suffers from under-use because of the dominant paradigm of exclusive-use licensing. We propose the SATYA auction (Sanskrit for truth), which allows short-term ... -
Enabling Spectrum Sharing in Secondary Market Auctions
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013)Wireless spectrum is a scare resource, but in practice much of it is under-used by current owners. To enable better use of this spectrum, we propose an auction approach to dynamically allocate the spectrum in a secondary ... -
Enamel thickness in Asian human canines and premolars
(Anthropological Society of Nippon, 2010)Dental enamel thickness continues to feature prominently in anthropological studies of ape and human evolution, as well as studies of preventative oral care and treatment. Traditional studies of enamel thickness require ...
