Building Community Across the Battle-Lines: The Truce in Iliad 3 and 4
(Verlag Antike, 2012) -
Building one molecule from a reservoir of two atoms
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2018-05-25)When chemists run reactions, what they are really doing is mixing up an enormous number of reacting partners and then hoping that they collide productively. It is possible to manipulate atoms more deliberately with a ... -
Building Resilient Health Systems: A Proposal for a Resilience Index
(BMJ, 2017-05-23)The 2014 west African Ebola epidemic shone a harsh light on the health systems of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. While decades of domestic and international investment had contributed to substantial progress on the ... -
Building Robust Psychotherapies for Children and Adolescents
(SAGE Publications, 2014)Psychotherapies for children and adolescents have been tested in hundreds of randomized controlled trials across five decades, and many of these youth therapies have now been classified as empirically supported treatments ... -
Bulk diffusivity of lattice gases close to criticality
(Springer Nature, 1995)We consider lattice gases where particles jump at random times constrained by hard-core exclusion (simple exclusion process with speed change). The conventional theory of critical slowing down predicts that close to a ... -
Bulk Synchronous Parallel Computing - A Paradigm for Transportable Software
(1994)A necessary condition for the establishment, on a substantial basis, of a parallel software industry would appear to be the availability of technology for generating transportable software, i.e. architecture independent ... -
Bulk universality for deformed Wigner matrices
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2016)We consider N×N random matrices of the form H=W+V where W is a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix and V is a random or deterministic, real, diagonal matrix whose entries are independent of W. We assume ... -
Bulk universality for generalized Wigner matrices
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2011)Consider \(N × N\) Hermitian or symmetric random matrices H where the distribution of the (i, j) matrix element is given by a probability measure \(\nu_{ij}\) with a subexponential decay. Let \(\sigma_{ij}^2\) be the ... -
Bulk universality for Wigner matrices
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)We consider N × N Hermitian Wigner random matrices H where the probability density for each matrix element is given by the density ν(x) = e−U(x). We prove that the eigenvalue statistics in the bulk are given by the Dyson ... -
Bulk universality of general β-ensembles with non-convex potential
(AIP Publishing, 2012-09)We prove the bulk universality of the β-ensembles with non-convex regular analytic potentials for any β > 0. This removes the convexity assumption appeared in the earlier work [P. Bourgade, L. Erdös, and H.-T. Yau, ... -
Bulk universality of sparse random matrices
(AIP Publishing, 2015)We consider the adjacency matrix of the ensemble of Erdős-Rényi random graphs which consists of graphs on N vertices in which each edge occurs independently with probability p. We prove that in the regime pN ≫ 1, these ... -
Buñuel, Lorca, Dalí: El Enigma Sin Fin (Book Review)
(El Colegio de Mexico, A.C., 1989-01-01)Un tema de completa vigencia, un premio de prestigio y una amenidad poco frecuente han conseguido para este libro reseñas innumerables y justamente elogiosas. La mayoría, sin embargo, se limita a describirlo como un minucioso ... -
The Burden of Disease and the Changing Task of Medicine
(New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 2012) -
The Bureaucracy of Honor. The Habsburg Consular Service and the History of Emotions
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2018-12-01)I use the personnel files of three consuls in the Austro-Hungarian foreign service to consider the ways Habsburg bureaucracy recorded the emotional lives of civil servants. Consuls were expected to interact with Habsburg ... -
Bureaucrats or Politicians? Part I: A Single Policy Task
(American Economic Association, 2007-03-01)This paper investigates the normative criteria that guide the allocation of a policy task to an elected politician versus an independent bureaucrat. The bureaucrat is preferable for technical tasks for which ability is ... -
Buried by bad decisions

Buried Nanoantenna Arrays: Versatile Antireflection Coating
(American Chemical Society, 2013)Reflection is usually a detrimental phenomenon in many applications such as flat-panel-displays, solar cells, photodetectors, infrared sensors, and lenses. Thus far, to control and suppress the reflection from a substrate, ... -
Burkholderia Xenovorans LB400 Harbors a Multi-Replicon, 9.73-Mbp Genome Shaped for Versatility
(National Academy of Sciences, 2006)<i>Burkholderia xenovorans</i> LB400 (LB400), a well studied, effective polychlorinated biphenyl-degrader, has one of the two largest known bacterial genomes and is the first nonpathogenic <i>Burkholderia</i> isolate ... -
BURRITO: Wrapping Your Lab Notebook in Computational Infrastructure
(USENIX Association, 2012)Researchers in fields such as bioinformatics, CS, finance, and applied math have trouble managing the numerous code and data files generated by their computational experiments, comparing the results of trials executed with ...
