Early Marriage, Age of Menarche, and Female Schooling Attainment in Bangladesh
(University of Chicago Press, 2008)Using data from rural Bangladesh, we explore the hypothesis that women attain less schooling as a result of social and financial pressure to marry young. We isolate the causal effect of marriage timing using age of menarche ... -
Early Mesopotamian Urbanism: A New View from the North
(Antiquity Publications, 2007)For many years, the southern Mesopotamia of Ur and Uruk, ancient Sumer, has been seen as the origin centre of civilisation and cities: ‘The urban implosion of late-fourth- and early-third-millennium Mesopotamia resulted ... -
Early Modern Floral: The Agency of Ornament in Ottoman and Safavid Visual Cultures

An Early Modernist’s Perspective
(University of Chicago Press, 2004)Historians of science can gain new insights into the material practices and intellectual trajectories of natural philosophers by attending to evidence of what they read and how. From the time of the early modern period we ... -
Early Neoproterozoic Basin Formation in Yukon, Canada: Implications for the Make-Up and Break-Up of Rodinia
(Geological Association of Canada, 2012)Geological mapping and stratigraphic anaylsis of the early Neoproterozoic Fifteenmile Group in the western Ogilvie Mountains of Yukon, Canada, has revealed large lateral facies changes in both carbonate and siliciclastic ... -
Early Neoproterozoic scale microfossils in the Lower Tindir Group of Alaska and the Yukon Territory
(Geological Society of America, 2010)The Tindir Group is a <4-km-thick Neoproterozoic succession exposed in the Tatonduk inlier of east-central Alaska and the western Yukon Territory. The Tindir Group is informally divided into the Lower Tindir Group, which ... -
Early Onset Alcohol Use and Self-Harm: A Discordant Twin Analysis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Background Self-harm has considerable societal and economic costs and has been extensively studied in relation to alcohol involvement. Whereas early onset alcohol use (EAU) has been causally linked to maladaptive clinical ... -
Early Photosynthetic Eukaryotes Inhabited Low-Salinity Habitats
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017-08-14)The early evolutionary history of the chloroplast lineage remains an open question. It is widely accepted that the endosymbiosis that established the chloroplast lineage in eukaryotes can be traced back to a single event, ... -
Early Pleistocene Glacial Cycles and the Integrated Summer Insolation Forcing
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2006)Long-term variations in Northern Hemisphere summer insolation are generally thought to control glaciation. But the intensity of summer insolation is primarily controlled by 20,000-year cycles in the precession of the ... -
Early Social Cognition in Three Cultural Contexts
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)The influence of culture on cognitive development is well established for school age and older children. But almost nothing is known about how different parenting and socialization practices in different cultures affect ... -
Early Structure Formation and Reionization in a Cosmological Model with a Running Primordial Power Spectrum
(American Astronomical Society, 2003)We study high-redshift structure formation and reionization in a LambdaCDM universe under the assumption that the spectral power index of primordial density fluctuations is a function of length scale. We adopt a particular ... -
Early Structure Formation and Reionization in a Warm Dark Matter Cosmology
(American Astronomical Society, 2003)We study the first structure formations in Lambda-dominated universes using large cosmological N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations. We consider a standard Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) model and a Lambda ... -

Early Warning Signals of Ecological Transitions: Methods for Spatial Patterns
(Public Library of Science, 2014)A number of ecosystems can exhibit abrupt shifts between alternative stable states. Because of their important ecological and economic consequences, recent research has focused on devising early warning signals for ... -

Early-Life Malaria Exposure and Adult Outcomes: Evidence from Malaria Eradication in India
(American Economic Association, 2010)We examine the effects of exposure to malaria in early childhood on educational attainment and economic status in adulthood by exploiting geographic variation in malaria prevalence in India prior to a nationwide eradication ... -
Early-Type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I. The Sample
(2003)A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using morphological and spectral criteria. This paper describes how the sample was ... -
Early-type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. II. Correlations between Observables
(IOP Publishing, 2003)A magnitude-limited sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample was used to study ...
