Canga Renatae, A New Genus and Species of Cyphophthalmi from Brazilian Amazon Caves (Opiliones: Neogoveidae)
(Magnolia Press, 2010)A new genus and species of Cyphophthalmi, Canga renatae gen. nov., sp. nov., is described in the family Neogoveidae from a system of caves in the Serra de Carajás, Pará State, Brazil. Canga can be easily distinguished from ... -
Canopy and Litter Ant Assemblages Share Similar Climate-Species Density Relations
(Royal Society, 2010)Tropical forest canopies house most of the globe’s diversity, yet little is known about global patterns and drivers of canopy diversity. Here we present models of ant species density, using climate, abundance and habitat ... -
Canopy nitrogen, carbon assimilation, and albedo in temperate and boreal forests: Functional relations and potential climate feedbacks
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008)The availability of nitrogen represents a key constraint on carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, and it is largely in this capacity that the role of N in the Earth's climate system has been considered. Despite this, ... -
A capabilities approach to population health and public policy-making
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Background. – The objective of this study is to outline a capabilities approach to the social determinants of population health and to compare its explanatory power and implications for public policy-making with psychosocial ... -

A capacitance-based micropositioning system for x-ray rocking curve measurements
(AIP Publishing, 1979)Certain types of x‐ray experiments require very precise angular positioning of crystals in the vicinity of the Bragg reflection condition. A system applicable to some measurement of this type is described which achieves a ... -
Capacitive Coupling of Atomic Systems to Mesoscopic Conductors
(American Physical Society, 2004)We describe a technique that enables a strong, coherent coupling between isolated neutral atoms and mesoscopic conductors. The coupling is achieved by exciting atoms trapped above the surface of a superconducting transmission ... -
The capacity of the human iliotibial band to store elastic energy during running
(Elsevier BV, 2015)The human iliotibial band (ITB) is a poorly understood fascial structure that may contribute to energy savings during locomotion. This study evaluated the capacity of the ITB to store and release elastic energy during ... -
The Capacity of Visual Short-Term Memory is Set Both by Visual Information Load and by Number of Objects
(SAGE Publications, 2004-02)Previous research has suggested that visual short-term memory has a fixed capacity of about four objects. However, we found that capacity varied substantially across the five stimulus classes we examined, ranging from 1.6 ... -
Capacity, Commitment, and Compliance
(SAGE Publications, 2002)Why should governments delegate decision-making authority over territorial issues to an international institution? This study argues that governments are motivated to reach territorial solutions to reduce the opportunity ... -
Capillary Filling of Anodized Alumina Nanopore Arrays
(American Physical Society, 2006)The filling behavior of a room temperature solvent, perfluoromethylcyclohexane, in approximately 20 nm nanoporous alumina membranes was investigated in situ with small angle x-ray scattering. Adsorption in the pores was ... -
Capillary Wave Fluctuations and Intrinsic Widths of Coupled Fluid-Fluid Interfaces: An X-ray Scattering Study of a Wetting Film on Bulk Liquid
(American Physical Society, 2006)An x-ray specular reflectivity (XR) and off-specular diffuse scattering (XDS) study of the coupled thermal capillary fluctuations and the intrinsic profiles of two interacting fluid-fluid interfaces is presented. The ... -
Capillary Waves on the Surface of Simple Liquids Measured by X-Ray Reflectivity
(American Physical Society, 1988)The properties of the liquid-vapor interface for three simple liquids (water, carbon tetrachloride, and methanol) have been measured using x-ray reflectivity. The measured surface roughness is interpreted using a model ... -
Capillary-Wave Roughening of Surface-Induced Layering in Liquid Gallium
(American Physical Society, 1996)The temperature dependence of surface-induced atomic layering in liquid gallium has been investigated with x-ray reflectivity. The prominent layering peak at \(q_z\)=2.4 Å\(^{-1}\) decreases dramatically upon heating from ... -
Capital Flows, Consumption Booms and Asset Bubbles: A Behavioural Alternative to the Savings Glut Hypothesis
(Royal Economic Society (Great Britain), 2010)Bernanke (2005) hypothesized that a “global savings glut” was causing large trade imbalances. However, we show that the global savings rates did not show a robust upward trend during the relevant period. Moreover, if there ... -

Capping Individual Tax Expenditure Benefits
(National Bureau of Economic Research, 2011)This paper analyzes a new way of reducing the major individual tax expenditures: capping the total amount that tax expenditures as a whole can reduce each individual's tax burden. More specifically, we examine the effect ...
