Collecting and Researching in the History of Books
(Friends of the Princeton University Library, 2005) -
Collecting Provenance via the Xen Hypervisor
(USENIX Association, 2011)The Provenance Aware Storage Systems project (PASS) currently collects system-level provenance by intercepting system calls in the Linux kernel and storing the provenance in a stackable filesystem. While this approach is ... -
A collection of non-human primate computed tomography scans housed in MorphoSource, a repository for 3D data
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)A dataset of high-resolution microCT scans of primate skulls (crania and mandibles) and certain postcranial elements was collected to address questions about primate skull morphology. The sample consists of 489 scans taken ... -
Collective Action, Heterogeneous Loyalties and Path Dependence: Micro-evidence from Senegal
(Oxford University Press, 2004)In Senegal, we encountered a situation in which a minority group of migrant fishermen had completely different sets of expectations regarding a collective action depending on the location where they operated. In one village ... -
Collective atomic scattering and motional effects in a dense coherent medium
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)We investigate collective emission from coherently driven ultracold 88Sr atoms. We perform two sets of experiments using a strong and weak transition that are insensitive and sensitive, respectively, to atomic motion at 1 ... -
Collective Bargaining Laws, Threat Effects, and the Determination of Police Compensation
(University of Chicago Press, 1989)This article demonstrates that state collective bargaining laws are important determinants of union and nonunion public employee compensation. State laws that provide stronger bargaining rights and ensure closure to the ... -
The Collective Commentary as Reference Genre
(Walter de Gruyter, 2006)The commentary has long been a particularly versatile genre. The continuous commentary on a text is the most widespread and long-lived model, generating ancient scholia, medieval manuscripts displaying a central island of ... -
Collective Cyclotron Motion of the Relativistic Plasma in Graphene
(American Physical Society, 2008)We present a theory of the finite temperature thermoelectric response functions of graphene in the hydrodynamic regime where electron-electron collisions dominate the scattering. In moderate magnetic fields, the Dirac ... -
Collective Decision-Making in Multi-Agent Systems by Implicit Leadership
(Association for Computing Machinery Press, 2010)Coordination within decentralized agent groups frequently requires reaching global consensus, but typical hierarchical approaches to reaching such decisions can be complex, slow, and not fault-tolerant. By contrast, recent ... -
The Collective Dynamics of Smoking in a Large Social Network
(Massachusetts Medical Society, 2008)Background: The prevalence of smoking has decreased substantially in the United States over the past 30 years. We examined the extent of the person-to-person spread of smoking behavior and the extent to which groups of ... -
Collective excitations of quasi-two-dimensional trapped dipolar fermions: Transition from collisionless to hydrodynamic regime
(American Physical Society, 2012)We study the collective excitations of polarized single-component quasi-two-dimensional dipolar fermions in an isotropic harmonic trap by solving the collisional Boltzmann-Vlasov (CBV) equation via the method of moments. ... -
Collective generation of milliemulsions by step-emulsification
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)Emulsification is a key step in many processes for the production and functionalization of dispersed liquid systems. Here, we report a versatile and robust device that generates monodisperse milliemulsions by stepemulsification. ... -
Collective Phenomena in Quasi-Two-Dimensional Fermionic Polar Molecules: Band Renormalization and Excitons
(American Physical Society, 2011)We theoretically analyze a quasi-two-dimensional system of fermionic polar molecules in a harmonic transverse confining potential. The renormalized energy bands are calculated by solving the Hartree-Fock equation numerically ... -
Collective States of Non-Abelian Quasiparticles in a Magnetic Field
(American Physical Society, 2009)Motivated by the physics of the Moore-Read nu=1/2 state away from half filling, we investigate collective states of non-Abelian e/4 quasiparticles in a magnetic field. We consider two types of collective states: incompressible ... -
Collective transport of complex objects by simple robots: Theory and experiments
(2013)Ants show an incredible ability to collectively transport complex irregular-shaped objects with seemingly simple coordination. Achieving similarly effective collective transport with robots has potential applications in ... -
Collectively Enhanced Interactions in Solid-State Spin Qubits
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We propose and analyze a technique to collectively enhance interactions between solid-state quantum registers composed from random networks of spin qubits. In such systems, disordered dipolar interactions generically result ... -
The Collimated Jet Source in IRAS 16547-4247: Time Variation, Possible Precession, and Upper Limits to the Proper Motions along the Jet Axis
(American Astronomical Society, 2008)The triple radio source detected in association with the luminous infrared source IRAS 16547-4247 has previously been studied with high angular resolution and high sensitivity with the Very Large Array at 3.6 cm wavelength. ... -
Collision-Induced Spin Depolarization of Alkali-metal Atoms in Cold \(^3\)He Gas
(American Physical Society, 2008)We present a joint experimental and theoretical study of spin depolarization in collisions of alkali-metal atoms with \(^3\)He in a magnetic field. A rigorous quantum theory for spin-changing transitions is developed and ...
