    • Distributed Dynamic Spectrum Allocation for Secondary Users in a Vertical Spectrum Sharing Scenario 

      Babadi, Behtash; Tarokh, Vahid (Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), 2012)

    • Distributed Implementations of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves Mechanisms 

      Parkes, David C.; Shneidman, Jeffery (IEEE Computer Society, 2004)
      Mechanism design (MD) provides a useful method to implement outcomes with desirable properties in systems with self-interested computational agents. One drawback, however, is that computation is implicitly centralized in ...

    • A Distributed Morphology Analysis of Present Tense Auxiliaries in Zamudio 

      Arregi, Karlos; Nevins, Andrew Ira (Mendebalde Kultur Alkartea, 2006)
      We provide an analysis of the morphology of present indicative auxiliary verbs in Zamudio Basque. In doing so we present an illustration of the theory of Distributed Morphology and the post-syntactic rules that obscure a ...

      We describe and analyze an efficient register-based hybrid quantum computation scheme. Our scheme is based on a probabilistic, heralded optical connection among local five-qubit quantum registers. We assume high-fidelity ...

    • Distributed Quantum inner product estimation 

      Anshu, Anurag; Landau, Zeph; Liu, Yunchao (ACM, 2022-06-09)
      As small quantum computers are becoming available on different physical platforms, a benchmarking task known as cross-platform verification has been proposed that aims to estimate the fidelity of states prepared on two ...

      3D display technology holds great promise for the future of television, virtual reality, entertainment, and visualization. Multiview parallax displays deliver stereoscopic views without glasses to arbitrary positions within ...

    • Distributed sensitivity for movement amplitude in directionally tuned neuronal populations 

      Fabbri, S.; Caramazza, Alfonso; Lingnau, A. (American Physiological Society, 2011)
      Neurons in macaque primary motor cortex and dorsal premotor cortex are tuned to movement direction. In humans, neuronal populations tuned to movement direction have recently been described using multivoxel pattern analysis ...

    • Distributed, Secure Load Balancing with Skew, Heterogeneity, and Churn 

      Ledlie, Jonathan; Seltzer, Margo (IEEE Computer and Communications Societies, 2005)
      Numerous proposals exist for load balancing in peer-to-peer (p2p) networks. Some focus on namespace balancing, making the distance between nodes as uniform as possible. This technique works well under ideal conditions, but ...

    • The distribution and chemistry of H2CO in the DM Tau protoplanetary disk 

      Loomis, Ryan; Cleeves, Lauren Ilsedore; Oberg, Karin; Guzman, Viviana V.; Andrews, Sean M. (IOP Publishing, 2015)
      H2CO ice on dust grains is an important precursor of complex organic molecules (COMs). H2CO gas can be readily observed in protoplanetary disks and may be used to trace COM chemistry. However, its utility as a COM probe ...

    • The Distribution and Evolution of Microbial Life in the Late Proterozoic Era 

      Knoll, Andrew (Annual Reviews, 1985)
      Until recently, it was possible to discuss pattern in the Precambrian fossil record in terms of three benchmark fossil assemblages conveniently dated at approximately 3000, 2000, and 1000 million years before the present ...

    • Distribution and fate of selected oxygenated organic species in the troposphere and lower stratosphere over the Atlantic 

      Singh, H.; Chen, Y.; Tabazadeh, A.; Fukui, Y.; Bey, I.; Yantosca, Robert M.; Jacob, Daniel James; Arnold, F.; Wohlfrom, K.; Atlas, E.; Flocke, F.; Blake, D.; Blake, N.; Heikes, B.; Snow, J.; Talbot, R.; Gregory, G.; Sachse, G.; Vay, S.; Kondo, Yasuyuki (Wiley-Blackwell, 2000)
      A large number of oxygenated organic chemicals (peroxyacyl nitrates, alkyl nitrates, acetone, formaldehyde, methanol, methylhydroperoxide, acetic acid and formic acid) were measured during the 1997 Subsonic Assessment ...

    • Distribution and mixing of old and new nonstructural carbon in two temperate trees 

      Richardson, Andrew D; Carbone, Mariah S; Huggett, Brett A; Furze, Morgan E; Czimczik, Claudia I; Walker, Jennifer C; Xu, Xiaomei; Schaberg, Paul G; Murakami, Paula (BlackWell Publishing Ltd, 2015)
      We know surprisingly little about whole-tree nonstructural carbon (NSC; primarily sugars and starch) budgets. Even less well understood is the mixing between recent photosynthetic assimilates (new NSC) and previously stored ...

    • Distribution behavior of superparamagnetic carbon nanotubes in an aqueous system 

      Bai, Xue; Liu, Yuqi; Yu, Lu; Hua, Zulin (Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
      This study investigates the distribution behavior of superparamagnetic multiwalled carbon nanotubes (SPM-MWCNTs) in an aqueous system containing Lake Tai sediment. Specifically, the effects of dissolved organic matter (DOM) ...

    • Distribution of a Chimpanzee Social Custom Is Explained by Matrilineal Relationship Rather Than Conformity
