Concepts Are More than Percepts: The Case of Action Verbs
(The Society for Neuroscience, 2008)Several regions of the posterior-lateral-temporal cortex (PLTC) are reliably recruited when participants read or listen to action verbs, relative to other word and nonword types. This PLTC activation is generally interpreted ... -
Concepts for Enhanced Energy Absorption Using Hollow Micro-Lattices
(Elsevier, 2010)We present a basic analysis that establishes the metrics affecting the energy absorbed by multilayer cellular media during irreversible compaction on either a mass or volume basis. The behaviors at low and high impulse ... -
Conceptual and institutional gaps: understanding how the WHO can become a more effective cross-sectoral collaborator
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Two themes consistently emerge from the broad range of academics, policymakers and opinion leaders who have proposed changes to the World Health Organization (WHO): that reform efforts are too slow, and that ... -
Conceptual distinctiveness supports detailed visual long-term memory for real-world objects
(American Psychological Association, 2010)Humans have a massive capacity to store detailed information in visual long-term memory. The present studies explored the fidelity of these visual long-term memory representations and examined how conceptual and perceptual ... -
Conceptual Object Representations in Human Anterior Temporal Cortex
(Society for Neuroscience, 2012)Interaction with everyday objects requires the representation of conceptual object properties, such as where and how an object is used. What are the neural mechanisms that support this knowledge? While research on semantic ... -
Conceptualization of Health and Social Vulnerability of Marginalized Populations During Covid-19 Using Quantitative Scoring Approach
(Informa UK Limited, 2021-02-24)Covid-19 is a global health emergency and a systemic human development crisis. Marginalized populations’ ability to respond tends to be low and associated impacts can be serious for already vulnerable communities. The virus ... -
Concerning RNA-guided gene drives for the alteration of wild populations
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2014)Gene drives may be capable of addressing ecological problems by altering entire populations of wild organisms, but their use has remained largely theoretical due to technical constraints. Here we consider the potential for ... -
Concerted nucleophilic aromatic substitution with 19F− and 18F−
(2016)Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is widely used by organic chemists to functionalize aromatic molecules, and it is the most commonly used method to generate arenes that contain a 18F for use in PET imaging.1 A ... -

Concise comparative summaries (CCS) of large text corpora with a human experiment
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2014)In this paper we propose a general framework for topic-specific summarization of large text corpora and illustrate how it can be used for the analysis of news databases. Our framework, concise comparative summarization ... -
A Concise Synthesis of the Naphthoic Acid Component of Neocarzinostatin Chromophore Featuring a New Photocyclization Reaction
(Elsevier, 1995)A 6-step synthesis of the naphthoic acid component of the natural antitumor agent neocarzinostatin chromophore is described. The synthetic route employs a 4-bromo-3-methylanisole as the starting material, proceeds in 31-37% ... -
Conclusion
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)The diffusion of markets and democracy around the world was a defining feature of the late twentieth century. Many social scientists view this economic and political liberalization as the product of independent choices by ... -
Concurrent Channel Access and Estimation for Scalable Multiuser MIMO Networking
(2012-07-26)This paper presents the design of MIMO/CON (“MIMO with concurrent channel access and estimation”), a PHY/MAC cross-layer design delivering throughput scalable to many users for multiuser MIMO wireless networking. By allowing ... -
Concurrent electromigration and creep in lead-free solder
(AIP Publishing, 2011)When electric current flows in a solder bump, electromigration generates stress, but creep relaxes it. After some time, the bump develops a steady-state stress field. We present a theory to show that the two processes - ... -
Concurrent Reaction and Plasticity during Initial Lithiation of Crystalline Silicon in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Concurrent Validity of the Child Behavior Checklist DSM-Oriented Scales: Correspondence with DSM Diagnoses and Comparison to Syndrome Scales
(Springer Verlag, 2009)This study used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methodology and discriminative analyses to examine the correspondence of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) rationally-derived DSM-oriented scales and empirically-derived ... -
Concussion management in US college football: progress and pitfalls
(2015)Reducing the frequency and severity of concussions from sport is an important issue in public health currently addressed by a multifaceted approach. Given the large number of participants and the comparatively high risk ... -
Concussions and youth football: using a public health law framework to head off a potential public health crisis
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Concussion from sport is increasingly recognized as a public health priority. In response, all states and the District of Columbia have enacted youth concussion legislation. This paper first examines key developments in ... -
Condensation on slippery asymmetric bumps
(Springer Nature, 2016)Controlling dropwise condensation is fundamental to water- harvesting systems1–3, desalination4, thermal power generation4–8, air conditioning9, distillation towers10, and numerous other applications4,5,11. For any of ... -
Condensed-matter physics: Catching relativistic electrons
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Low-energy electrons have been found to mimic relativistic high-energy particles in cadmium arsenide. This defines the first stable '3D Dirac semimetal', which holds promise for fundamental-physics exploration and practical ...
