      Rosenberg, Charles (Oxford University Press, 1967)
    • Factors regulating ozone over the United States and its export to the global atmosphere 

      Jacob, Daniel James; Logan, Jennifer A.; Gardner, Geraldine M.; Yevich, Rose M.; Spivakovsky, Clarisa M.; Wofsy, Steven Charles; Sillman, Sanford; Prather, Michael J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 1993)
      The factors regulating summertime O over the United States and its export to the global atmosphere are examined with a 3‐month simulation using a continental scale, three‐dimensional photochemical model. It is found that ...
    • Factors that distinguish college students with depressive symptoms with and without suicidal thoughts 

      Nyer, Maren Bess; Holt, Daphne Jane; Pedrelli, Paola; Fava, Maurizio; Ameral, Victoria; Cassiello, Clair F.; Nock, Matthew K.; Ross, Margaret; Hutchinson, Dori; Farabaugh, Amy (Springer, 2013)
      BACKGROUND Suicide among college students is a significant public health concern. Although suicidality is linked to depression, not all depressed college students experience suicidal ideation (SI). The primary aim of ...
    • Facultative Mimicry ? The Evolutionary Significance of Seasonal Forms in Several Indo-Australian Butterflies in the Family Pierid 

      Canfield, Michael Ross; Pierce, Naomi E. (2010)
      Several Asian pierid butterflies exhibit a pattern of phenotypic plasticity whereby the wing surfaces are more melanized in the wet season than in the dry season. The wet season in the Indo-Australian regions where these ...
    • The Faculty of Language: What’s Special About It? 

      Pinker, Steven; Jackendoff, Ray (Elsevier, 2005)
      We examine the question of which aspects of language are uniquely human and uniquely linguistic in light of recent suggestions by Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch that the only such aspect is syntactic recursion, the rest of ...
    • The Faculty-Student Low-Low Contract 

      Winship, Christopher (Springer Science + Business Media, 2011)
    • Failure Analysis of Electronic Material Using Cryogenic FIB-SEM 

      Antoniou, Nicholas; Graham, Adam; Hartfield, Cheryl; Amador, Gonzalo (ASM International, 2012)
      Two-beam systems (focused ion beam (FIB) integrated with a scanning electron microscope (SEM)) have enabled site-specific analysis at the nano-scale through in situ "mill and view" capability at high resolution. In addition, ...
    • Failure by Simultaneous Grain Growth, Strain Localization, and Interface Debonding in Metal Films on Polymer Substrates 

      Lu, Nanshu; Wang, Xi; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (Materials Research Society, 2009)
      In a previous paper, we have demonstrated that a microcrystalline copper film well bonded to a polymer substrate can be stretched beyond 50% without cracking. The film eventually fails through the co-evolution of necking ...
    • Failure of Conventional Density Functionals for the Prediction of Molecular Crystal Polymorphism: A Quantum Monte Carlo Study 

      Hongo, Kenta; Watson, Mark A.; Sánchez-Carrera, Roel S.; Iitaka, Toshiaki; Aspuru-Guzik, Alan (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)
      We have applied the diffusion Monte Carlo method, for the first time, to an organic molecular crystal (para-diiodobenzene) in order to determine the relative stability of its two well-known polymorphs. The DMC result ...
    • Failure of Working Memory Training to Enhance Cognition or Intelligence 

      Thompson, Todd W.; Waskom, Michael L.; Garel, Keri-Lee Alyson; Cardenas-Iniguez, Carlos; Reynolds, Gretchen O.; Winter, Rebecca; Chang, Patricia; Pollard, Kiersten; Lala, Nupur; Alvarez, George Angelo; Gabrieli, John D.E. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Fluid intelligence is important for successful functioning in the modern world, but much evidence suggests that fluid intelligence is largely immutable after childhood. Recently, however, researchers have reported gains ...
    • Failure to Modulate Attentional Control in Advanced Aging Linked to White Matter Pathology 

      Hedden, Trey; Sperling, Reisa Anne; Johnson, Keith Alan; Buckner, Randy Lee; van Dijk, Koene R. A.; Shire, Emily H. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
      Advanced aging is associated with reduced attentional control and less flexible information processing. Here, the origins of these cognitive effects were explored using a functional magnetic resonance imaging task that ...
    • Faint X‐Ray Sources in the Globular Cluster Terzan 5 

      Heinke, C. O.; Wijnands, R.; Cohn, H. N.; Lugger, P. M.; Grindlay, J. E.; Pooley, D.; Lewin, W. H. G. (American Astronomical Society, 2006)
    • Fair algorithms for selecting citizens’ assemblies 

      Flanigan, Bailey; Gölz, Paul; Gupta, Anupam; Hennig, Brett; Procaccia, Ariel D. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-08-04)
      Globally, there has been a recent surge in ‘citizens’ assemblies’, which are a form of civic participation in which a panel of randomly selected constituents contributes to questions of policy. The random process for ...
    • Fair Division via Social Comparison 

      Abebe, Rediet; Kleinberg, Jon; Parkes, David
      We study cake cutting on a graph, where agents can only evaluate their shares relative to their neighbors. This is an extension of the classical problem of fair division to incorporate the notion of social comparison from ...
    • Fair Information Sharing for Treasure Hunting 

      Chen, Yiling; Nissim, Kobbi; Waggoner, Bo (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2015)
      In a search task, a group of agents compete to be the first to find the solution. Each agent has different private information to incorporate into its search. This problem is inspired by settings such as scientific research, ...
    • Fair Measures: A Behavioral Realist Revision of "Affirmative Action" 

      Kang, Jerry; Banaji, Mahzarin R. (California Law Review Inc., 2006)
      New facts recently discovered in the mind and behavioral sciences have the potential to transform both lay and expert conceptions of affirmative action. Drawing on recent findings in implicit social cognition (ISC) and ...
    • Fair Package Assignment 

      Lahaie, Sébastien; Parkes, David C. (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)
      We consider the problem of fair allocation in the package assignment model, where a set of indivisible items, held by single seller, must be efficiently allocated to agents with quasi-linear utilities. A fair assignment ...
    • Fair School Allocation 

      Robinson, Isaac (2023-06-30)
      A well-functioning public education system is essential to a well-functioning society. However, deciding which child gets enrolled in which school is a difficult task. Specifically, with complex geographies and unequal ...
    • Fairness and Redistribution 

      Alesina, Alberto; Angeletos, George-Marios (American Economic Association, 2005)
      Different beliefs about the fairness of social competition and what determines income inequality influence the redistributive policy chosen in a society. But the composition of income in equilibrium depends on tax policies. ...
