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 ... -
Combating transnational crime: The role of learning and norm diffusion in the current rule of law wave

Combination of inclusive and differential tt charge asymmetry measurements using ATLAS and CMS data at √s = 7 and 8 TeV
This paper presents combinations of inclusive and differential measurements of the charge asymmetry (AC) in top quark pair (tt) events with a lepton+jets signature by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, using data from LHC ... -
Combination of searches for heavy resonances decaying into bosonic and leptonic final states using 36 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
(American Physical Society (APS), 2018-09-26)Searches for new heavy resonances decaying into different pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons, are presented using a data sample corresponding to 36.1 fb−1 of pp collisions at pffiffi s 1⁄4 ... -
Combination of the Searches for Pair-Produced Vectorlike Partners of the Third-Generation Quarks at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector
(American Physical Society (APS), 2018-11-20)A combination of the searches for pair-produced vectorlike partners of the top and bottom quarks in various decay channels (T → Zt=Wb=Ht, B → Zb=Wt=Hb) is performed using 36.1 fb−1 of pp collision data at s 1⁄4 13 TeV with ... -
Combination Therapy: Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors and Platinum-Based Chemotherapeutics for Cancer
(Elsevier BV, 2013)One of the most promising strategies to increase the efficacy of standard chemotherapy drugs is by combining them with low doses of histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACis). Regarded as chemosensitizers, the addition of ... -
Combinatorial Agency of Threshold Functions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2011)In this paper, we study the combinatorial agency problem introduced by Babaioff, Feldman and Nisan and resolve some open questions posed in their original paper. Our results include a characterization of the transition ... -
A Combinatorial Auction for Collaborative Planning
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2000)When rational, utility-maximizing agents encounter an opportunity to collaborate on a group activity they must determine whether to commit to that activity. We refer to this problem as the initial-commitment decision problem ... -
A combinatorial cell-laden gel microarray for inducing osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Development of three dimensional (3D) microenvironments that direct stem cell differentiation into functional cell types remains a major challenge in the field of regenerative medicine. Here, we describe a new platform to ... -
Combinatorial computational method gives new picomolar ligands for a known enzyme
(National Academy of Sciences, 2002)Combinatorial small molecule growth algorithm was used to design inhibitors for human carbonic anhydrase II. Two enantiomeric candidate molecules were predicted to bind with high potency (with R isomer binding stronger ... -
Combinatorial DNA Rearrangement Facilitates the Origin of New Genes in Ciliates
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Programmed genome rearrangements in the unicellular eukaryote Oxytricha trifallax produce a transcriptionally active somatic nucleus from a copy of its germline nucleus during development. This process eliminates noncoding ... -
Combined Analysis of νμ Disappearance and νμ→νe Appearance in MINOS Using Accelerator and Atmospheric Neutrinos
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)We report on a new analysis of neutrino oscillations in MINOS using the complete set of accelerator and atmospheric data. The analysis combines the νμ disappearance and νe appearance data using the three-flavor formalism. ... -
A Combined Finite Element-Multiple Criteria Optimization Approach for Materials Selection of Gas Turbine Components
(ASME International, 2012)The design of critical components for aerospace applications involves a number of conflicting functional requirements: reducing fuel consumption, cost, and weight, while enhancing performance, operability and robustness. ... -
Combined Micro-Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and Micro-Raman Spectroscopy of Proterozoic Acritarchs: A New Approach to Palaeobiology
(Elsevier, 2005)Micro-scale analytical techniques permit correlation of chemistry with morphology of individual Proterozoic acritarchs (organic-walled microfossils), and thus provide new approaches for elucidating their biological affinities. ... -
Combined obliquity and precession pacing of the late Pleistocene glacial cycles
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)Milankovitch1 proposed that Earth resides in an interglacial state when its spin axis both tilts to a high obliquity and precesses to align the Northern Hemisphere summer with Earth’s nearest approach to the Sun. This ... -
Combining Bottom-Up Self-Assembly with Top-Down Microfabrication to Create Hierarchical Inverse Opals with High Structural Order
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Colloidal particles can assemble into ordered crystals, creating periodically structured materials at the nanoscale without relying on expensive equipment. The combination of small size and high order leads to strong ...
