Fossils of Putative Marine Algae From the Cryogenian Glacial Interlude of Mongolia
(Society for Sedimentary Geology, 2015)Neoproterozoic carbonate successions provide a new taphonomic window into the diversification of eukaryotes. We report recently discovered macroscopic organic warty sheets (MOWS) in macerates of limestone from the ca. ... -
Fossils, Feeding, and the Evolution of Complex Multicellularity

Found at Sea: Mapping Ships on the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic Ocean
(2014-06-06)"Found at Sea" is a historical study centered on the Atlantic Ocean. This dissertation employs ships' logbooks in combination with a GIS mapping methodology to address the ocean, itself, as a site for historical developments. ... -
Foundation species loss affects vegetation structure more than ecosystem function in a northeastern USA forest
(PeerJ, 2013)Loss of foundation tree species rapidly alters ecological processes in forested ecosystems. Tsuga canadensis, an hypothesized foundation species of eastern North American forests, is declining throughout much of its range ... -
Foundation Species Loss and Biodiversity of the Herbaceous Layer in New England Forests
(MDPI AG, 2015)Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is a foundation species in eastern North American forests. Because eastern hemlock is a foundation species, it often is assumed that the diversity of associated species is high. However, ... -
A foundation tree at the precipice: Tsuga canadensis health after the arrival of Adelges tsugae in central New England
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) plays a unique role in Eastern forests, producing distinctive biogeochemical, habitat, and microclimatic conditions and yet has begun a potentially irreversible decline due to the invasive hemlock ... -
Foundational Issues in Natural Language Processing: Introduction

A Foundational Proof Framework for Cryptography
(2015-05-18)I present a state-of-the-art mechanized framework for developing and checking proofs of security for cryptographic schemes in the computational model. This system, called the Foundational Cryptography Framework (FCF) is ... -
Foundations of Black Solidarity: Collective Identity or Common Oppression?
(University of Chicago Press, 2002) -
The Foundations of Bodin's Natural Philosophy
(Harrassowitz, 1999)On what arguments, authorities and evidence does Bodin ground his natural philosophy? Bodin can be interpreted in turn as a rationalist, building his arguments in the Theatrum, as he proudly and repeatedly announces, on ... -
Foundations of Cooperation in Young Children
(Elsevier, 2008)Observations and experiments show that human adults preferentially share resources with close relations, with people who have shared with them (reciprocity), and with people who have shared with others (indirect reciprocity). ... -
Four Centuries of Change in Northeastern United States Forests
(Public Library of Science, 2013)The northeastern United States is a predominately-forested region that, like most of the eastern U.S., has undergone a 400-year history of intense logging, land clearance for agriculture, and natural reforestation. This ... -
Four classes of interactions for evolutionary games
(American Physical Society, 2015)The symmetric four-strategy games are decomposed into a linear combination of 16 basis games represented by orthogonal matrices. Among these basis games four classes can be distinguished as it is already found for the ... -

Four-Partocle Anyon Exciton: Boson Approximation
(World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 1995)A theory of anyon excitons consisting of a valence hole and three quasielectrons with electric charges –e/3 is presented. A full symmetry classification of the k = 0 states is given, where k is the exciton momentum. The ... -
Fourier decomposition of payoff matrix for symmetric three-strategy games
(American Physical Society, 2014)In spatial evolutionary games the payoff matrices are used to describe pair interactions among neighboring players located on a lattice. Now we introduce a way how the payoff matrices can be built up as a sum of payoff ... -
Fourier magnetic imaging with nanoscale resolution and compressed sensing speed-up using electronic spins in diamond
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Optically-detected magnetic resonance using Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) color centres in diamond is a leading modality for nanoscale magnetic field imaging,1-3 as it pro-vides single electron spin sensitivity,4 three-dimensional ... -
Fourier optics for wavefront engineering and wavelength control of lasers
(2014-02-25)Since their initial demonstration in 1994, quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have become prominent sources of mid-infrared radiation. Over the years, a large scientific and engineering effort has led to a dramatic improvement ...
