Government Debt
(Elsevier, 1999)This paper surveys the literature on the macroeconomic effects of government debt. It begins by discussing the data on debt and deficits, including the historical time series, measurement issues, and projections of future ... -
Government Ownership of Banks
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2002)In this paper, we investigate a neglected aspect of financial systems of many countries around the world: government ownership of banks. We assemble data which establish four findings. First, government ownership of banks ... -
Government Policy Toward Illegal Drugs: An Economist's Perspective
(Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, 2011)This paper explains how economists think about government policy toward illegal drugs. The economics perspective suggests that rational discussion of drug policy must address two distinct questions. The first is whether ... -
Government Purchases and Real Interest Rates
(University of Chicago Press, 1987)This paper examines the dynamic impact of government purchases in a simple general equilibrium model with both durable and non-durable consumer goods as well as productive capital. The model generates perhaps surprising ... -
Government Spending in a Simple Model of Endogeneous Growth
(University of Chicago Press, 1990)One strand of endogenous-growth models assumes constant returns to a broad concept of capital. I extend these models to include tax- financed government services that affect production or utility. Growth and saving rates ... -
The GPR 55 agonist, L-α-lysophosphatidylinositol, mediates ovarian carcinoma cell-induced angiogenesis
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Background and Purpose Highly vascularized ovarian carcinoma secretes the putative endocannabinoid and GPR55 agonist, L-α-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI), into the circulation. We aimed to assess the involvement of this ... -
GPU Acceleration for Real-time, Whole-body, Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
(2022-05-12)Whole-body, nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) refers to the control strategy where a robot’s state and input trajectories are continually optimized over a finite time horizon while taking into account the robot’s ... -
GPUmotif: An Ultra-Fast and Energy-Efficient Motif Analysis Program Using Graphics Processing Units
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Computational detection of TF binding patterns has become an indispensable tool in functional genomics research. With the rapid advance of new sequencing technologies, large amounts of protein-DNA interaction data have ... -
GRACE Gravity Data Constrain Ancient Ice Geometries and Continental Dynamics over Laurentia
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2007)The free-air gravity trend over Canada, derived from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment ( GRACE) satellite mission, robustly isolates the gravity signal associated with glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) from the ... -
Grade Inflation as a Tragedy of the Commons
(Harvard Education Press, 2016) -
GRADE: Gibbs Reaction and Diffusion Equations
(Narosa, 1998)Recently there have been increasing interests in using nonlinear PDEs for applications in computer vision and image processing. In this paper, we propose a general statistical framework for designing a new class of PDEs. ... -
Graded gene expression changes determine phenotype severity in mouse models of CRX-associated retinopathies
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Mutations in the cone-rod-homeobox protein CRX are typically associated with dominant blinding retinopathies with variable age of onset and severity. Five well-characterized mouse models carrying different Crx ... -
Gradient Descent for Optimization Problems With Sparse Solutions
(2016-05-18)Sparse modeling is central to many machine learning and signal processing algorithms, because finding a parsimonious model often implicitly removes noise and reveals structure in data. They appear in applications such as ... -
Grading Qualitatively with Tablet PCs in CS 50
(2009)CS 50 is Harvard College’s introduction to Computer Science for majors and non-majors alike. Each week, our 330 students submit programming assignments comprising hundreds of lines of code that must then be graded. Although ... -
Gradualism in Coordination and Trust Building
(2012-08-17)Coordination and cooperation on public projects, as well as trust among society members are important for economic, social and political activities. This dissertation presents essays on the role of gradualism - increasing ... -
Grain Growth in Thin Films with a Fibre Texture Studied by Phase-Field Simulations and Mean Field Modelling
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)The evolution of fiber textured structures is simulated in 2 dimensions using a generalized phase field model assuming two forms for the misorientation, a steady-state regime is reached after a finite amount of grain growth, ... -
Gram-Scale Synthesis of the A′B′-Subunit of Angelmicin B
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011)A gram-scale enantiospecific synthesis of the A’B’-subunit of angelmicin B is reported. The synthesis involves a Lewis acid-catalyzed contrasteric Diels–Alder reaction and a tandem silyl zincate 1,6-addition/enolate oxidation ... -
Grammatical and Phonological Influences on Word Order
(SAGE Publications, 2009)During the grammatical encoding of spoken multiword utterances, various kinds of information must be used to determine the order of words. For example, whereas in adjective-noun utterances like “red car,” word order can ... -
Grammatical Distinctions in the Left Frontal Cortex
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2001)Selective deficits in producing verbs relative to nouns in speech are well documented in neuropsychology and have been associated with left hemisphere frontal cortical lesions resulting from stroke and other neurological ...
