Bacterial recovery and recycling of tellurium from tellurium-containing compounds by Pseudoalteromonas sp. EPR3
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)Aims: Tellurium-based devices, such as photovoltaic (PV) modules and thermoelectric generators, are expected to play an increasing role in renewable energy technologies. Tellurium, however, is one of the scarcest elements ... -
The bacterial toxin colibactin triggers prophage induction
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-02-23)Colibactin is a chemically unstable small molecule genotoxin produced by multiple different bacteria, including members of the human gut microbiome. While the biological activity of colibactin has been extensively investigated ... -
Bad Beta, Good Beta
(American Economic Association, 2004)This paper explains the size and value "anomalies" in stock returns using an economically motivated two-beta model. We break the beta of a stock with the market portfolio into two components, one reflecting news about the ... -
Bad Biocitizens?: Latinos and the US "Obesity Epidemic"
(Society for Applied Anthropology, 2014)For years now, the United States has faced an “obesity epidemic” that, according to the dominant narrative, is harming the nation by worsening the health burden, raising health costs, and undermining productivity. Much of ... -

The Balance Between Mutators and Nonmutators in Asexual Populations
(Genetics Society of America, 2011)Mutator alleles, which elevate an individual’s mutation rate from 10 to 10,000-fold, have been found at high frequencies in many natural and ex- perimental populations. Mutators are continually produced from nonmu- tators, ... -
Balanced Growth Despite Uzawa
(American Economic Association, 2017)The evidence for the United States points to balanced growth despite falling investment-good prices and a less-than-unitary elasticity of substitution between capital and labor. This is inconsistent with the Uzawa Growth ... -
The Balance‐Sample Size Frontier in Matching Methods for Causal Inference
(Wiley, 2016-11-09)We propose a simplified approach to matching for causal inference that simultaneously optimizes both balance (between the treated and control groups) and matched sample size. This procedure resolves two widespread tensions ... -
A Balancing Act: Digital and Physical Access to Ephemera at the Harvard Theatre Collection
(Performing Arts Resources, 2016)As we enter an age of born digital material and digitized facsimiles of physical items, what does responsible access for ephemera in a performing arts collection look like? What are the needs of researchers and course ... -
Baleen whales host a unique gut microbiome with similarities to both carnivores and herbivores
(Nature Pub. Group, 2015)Mammals host gut microbiomes of immense physiological consequence, but the determinants of diversity in these communities remain poorly understood. Diet appears to be the dominant factor, but host phylogeny also seems to ... -

Balto-Slavic Mobility as an Indo-European Problem
(Peter Lang, 2011)The Fifth International Workshop on Balto-Slavic Accentology took place in 2009 at the Silesian University in Opava (Czech Republic). This volume contains papers presented at the workshop. The papers treat thematically ... -
Band alignment of SnS/Zn(O,S) heterojunctions in SnS thin film solar cells
(American Institute of Physics, 2013)Band alignment is critical to the performance of heterojunction thin film solar cells. In this letter, we report band alignment studies of SnS/Zn(O,S) heterojunctions with various compositions of Zn(O,S). Valence band ... -

Bandgap and Band Offsets Determination of Semiconductor Heterostructures Using Three-Terminal Ballistic Carrier Spectroscopy
(AIP Publishing, 2009-09-14)Utilizing ambipolar tunnel emission of ballistic electrons and holes, we have developed a model-independent method to self-consistently measure bandgaps of semiconductors and band offsets at semiconductor heterojunctions. ...
