Collisionless Weibel shocks: Full formation mechanism and timing
(AIP Publishing, 2014)Collisionless shocks in plasmas play an important role in space physics (Earth's bow shock) and astrophysics (supernova remnants, relativistic jets, gamma-ray bursts, high energy cosmic rays). While the formation of a fluid ... -
Collisions of Trapped Molecules With Slow Beams
(American Physical Society, 2010)We present a theoretical study of molecular-trap loss induced by collisions with slow atomic beams based on an explicit analysis of collision kinematics in the laboratory frame and a rigorous quantum description of ... -
Colloidal matter: Packing, geometry, and entropy
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2015)Colloidal particles with well-controlled shapes and interactions are an ideal experimental system for exploring how matter organizes itself. Like atoms and molecules, these particles form bulk phases such as liquids and ... -
Colloidal particle adsorption at liquid interfaces: capillary driven dynamics and thermally activated kinetics
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)The adsorption of single colloidal microparticles (0.5–1 μm radius) at a water–oil interface has been recently studied experimentally using digital holographic microscopy [Kaz et al., Nat. Mater., 2012, 11, 138–142]. An ... -
A colloidoscope of colloid-based porous materials and their uses
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions. Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to produce structures from simple building ... -
Colloids at interfaces: Pinned down
(Springer Nature, 2015)A colloidal particle straddling an air/water interface experiences an unexpectedly large viscous drag. -
Colloids with valence and specific directional bonding
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)The ability to design and assemble three-dimensional structures from colloidal particles is limited by the absence of specific directional bonds. As a result, complex or low-coordination structures, common in atomic and ... -
Colloquium: Toward living matter with colloidal particles
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-09-13)A fundamental unsolved problem is to understand the differences between inanimate matter and living matter. Although this question might be framed as philosophical, there are many fundamental and practical reasons to pursue ... -
Colon cancer-derived oncogenic EGFR G724S mutant identified by whole genome sequence analysis is dependent on asymmetric dimerization and sensitive to cetuximab
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Inhibition of the activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with either enzymatic kinase inhibitors or anti-EGFR antibodies such as cetuximab, is an effective modality of treatment for multiple human ... -
Color Constancy Beyond Bags of Pixels
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 2008)Estimating the color of a scene illuminant often plays a central role in computational color constancy. While this problem has received significant attention, the methods that exist do not maximally leverage spatial ... -
Color Distributions, Number, and Mass Densities of Massive Galaxies at 1.5 < Z < 3: Comparing Observations with Merger Simulations
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)We present a comparison between the observed color distribution, number, and mass density of massive galaxies at 1.5 < z < 3 and a model by Hopkins et al. that relates the quasar and galaxy population on the basis ... -
Color fields on the light-shell
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2016)We study the classical color radiation from very high energy collisions that produce colored particles. In the extreme high energy limit, the classical color fields are confined to a light-shell expanding at c and are ... -
Colored trails: A multiagent system testbed for decision-making research (demonstration)
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2008)With increasing frequency, computer agents participate in collaborative and competitive multiagent domains in which humans reason strategically to make decisions. The deployment of computer agents in such domains requires ... -
Colorimetric Ethanol Indicator Based on Instantaneous, Localized Wetting of a Photonic Crystal
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-12-06)Easy-to-use sensors for ethanol solutions have broad applications ranging from monitoring alcohol quality to combating underage drinking. Although there are a number of electronic and colorimetric sensors available for ... -
Colors of 2625 Quasars at 0 < z < 5 Measured in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System
(IOP Publishing, 2001)We present an empirical investigation of the colors of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric system. The sample studied includes 2625 quasars with SDSS photometry: 1759 quasars found during SDSS ... -
The colours of satellite galaxies in the Illustris simulation
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014)Observationally, the fraction of blue satellite galaxies decreases steeply with host halo mass, and their radial distribution around central galaxies is significantly shallower in massive (M* ≥ 1011 M⊙) than in Milky ... -
Colston E. Warne Lecture: Is it Time for Another Round of Consumer Protection? The Lessons of Twentieth-Century U.S. History
(John Wiley & Sons, 2010)The first year of Barack Obama's presidency has returned consumer issues to center stage, with several contentious struggles over consumer protection. This moment can be viewed as a fourth wave of the twentieth-century ... -

The Columbian Exchange: A History of Disease, Food, and Ideas
(American Economic Association, 2010)This paper provides an overview of the long-term impacts of the Columbian Exchange -- that is, the exchange of diseases, ideas, food crops, technologies, populations, and cultures between the New World and the Old World ... -
