Generation and synchronous tree-adjoining grammars
(Association for Computational Linguistics, 1990)Tree-adjoining grammars (TAG) have been proposed as a formalism for generation based on the intuition that the extended domain of syntactic locality that TAGs provide should aid in localizing semantic dependencies as well, ... -
Generation of Magnetic Fields in the Relativistic Shock of Gamma‐Ray Burst Sources
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)We show that the relativistic two-stream instability can naturally generate strong magnetic fields with 10(-5)-10(-1) of the equipartition energy density, in the collisionless shocks of gamma-ray burst (GRB) sources. The ... -
Generation of Multipotent Lung and Airway Progenitors from Mouse ESCs and Patient-Specific Cystic Fibrosis iPSCs
(Elsevier BV, 2012)Deriving lung progenitors from patient-specific pluripotent cells is a key step in producing differentiated lung epithelium for disease modeling and transplantation. By mimicking the signaling events that occur during mouse ... -
Generation of neuropeptidergic hypothalamic neurons from human pluripotent stem cells
(Company of Biologists, 2015)Hypothalamic neurons orchestrate many essential physiological and behavioral processes via secreted neuropeptides, and are relevant to human diseases such as obesity, narcolepsy and infertility. We report the differentiation ... -
Generation of pluripotent stem cells from patients with type 1 diabetes
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009)Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is the result of an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells. The cellular and molecular defects that cause the disease remain unknown. Pluripotent cells generated from patients with T1D would ... -
Generation of stem cell-derived β-cells from patients with type 1 diabetes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)We recently reported the scalable in vitro production of functional stem cell-derived β-cells (SC-β cells). Here we extend this approach to generate the first SC-β cells from type 1 diabetic patients (T1D). β-cells are ... -
Generation of Transfer Functions with Stochastic Search Techniques
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1996)This paper presents a novel approach to assist the user in exploring appropriate transfer functions for the visualization of volumetric datasets. The search for a transfer function is treated as a parameter optimization ... -
Generation of Two-Dimensional Plasmonic Bottle Beams
(Optical Society of America, 2013)By analogy to the three dimensional optical bottle beam, we introduce the plasmonic bottle beam: a two dimensional surface wave which features a lattice of plasmonic bottles, i.e. alternating regions of bright focii ... -
Generation of Type I X‐Ray Burst Oscillations by Unstable Surface Modes
(American Astronomical Society, 2007)The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has detected nearly coherent oscillations in the tails of type I X-ray bursts from 17 low-mass X-ray binaries. The oscillations are thought to be generated by brightness fluctuations associated ... -
Generation of wavelength-independent subwavelength Bessel beams using metasurfaces
(Springer Nature, 2017)Bessel beams are of great interest due to their unique non-diffractive properties. Using a conical prism or an objective paired with an annular aperture are two typical approaches for generating zeroth-order Bessel beams. ... -
Generation Times in Wild Chimpanzees and Gorillas Suggest Earlier Divergence Times in Great Ape and Human Evolution
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012)Fossils and molecular data are two independent sources of information that should in principle provide consistent inferences of when evolutionary lineages diverged. Here we use an alternative approach to genetic inference ... -
Generative Statistical Methods for Biological Sequences
(2022-05-11)Measuring and making sequences is central to modern biology and biomedicine. From evolutionary biology to immunology to therapeutics and beyond, scientists collect massive datasets of DNA, RNA and protein sequences, and ... -
A Generative View of Historical Linguistics

Generic Comparisons
(Oxford University Press, 2010)The paper discusses comparative generic sentences As are F-er than Bs—girls do better than boys in grade school, for example—which pose severe problems for extant accounts. In their stead, the paper proposes reconceiving ... -
Generic Global Rigidity in Complex and Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces
(Springer, 2014)In this paper we study the property of generic global rigidity for frameworks of graphs embedded in d-dimensional complex space and in a d-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space R\(^{2}\) with a metric of indefinite signature). ... -
Generic spectrum and ionization efficiency of a heavy initial mass function for the first stars
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)We calculate the generic spectral signature of an early population of massive stars at high redshifts. For metal-free stars with mass above 300 Mo. we find that the combined spectral luminosity per unit stellar mass is ... -
Generically Free Choice
(Springer Nature, 2010)This paper discusses free-choice like effects in generics. Just as Jane may drink coffee or tea can be used to convey Jane may drink coffee and Jane may drink tea (she is “free to choose”), some generics with disjunctive ... -
Generically Orthogonal Decompositions of Collision Events and Measurement Combinations in Standard Model $VH\left(b\bar{b}\right)$ Searches with the ATLAS Detector
(2018-05-09)This thesis describes variations on the two lepton channel of the Run 2 search for the SM Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson using different variable sets for multivariate analysis (MVA) training. The ... -
Generics and the Ways of Normality
(Springer Verlag, 2008)I contrast two approaches to the interpretation of generics such as ‘ravens are black:’ majority-based views, on which they are about what is the case most of the time, and inquiry-based views, on which they are about a ...
