The Equatorial Thermocline Outcropping—A Seasonal Control on the Tropical Pacific Ocean–Atmosphere Instability Strength
(American Meteorological Society, 2002)One of the major factors determining the strength and extent of ENSO events, is the instability state of the equatorial Pacific coupled ocean-atmosphere system and its seasonal variations. This study analyzes the coupled ... -
Equi-energy sampler with applications in statistical inference and statistical mechanics
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2006)We introduce a new sampling algorithm, the equi-energy sampler, for efficient statistical sampling and estimation. Complementary to the widely used temperature-domain methods, the equi-energy sampler, utilizing the ... -
Equilibrating Nanoparticle Monolayers Using Wetting Films
(American Physical Society, 2009)Monolayers of bimodal gold nanoparticles on silicon are investigated by a combination of microscopy (dry monolayers) and x-ray diffraction (dry and wet monolayers). In the presence of an excess of small particles, the ... -
Equilibrium configurations from gravitational collapse
(IOP Publishing, 2011)We develop here a new procedure within Einstein's theory of gravity to generate equilibrium configurations that result as the final state of gravitational collapse from regular initial conditions. As a simplification, we ... -
Equilibrium Distribution of Mutators in the Single Fitness Peak Model
(American Physical Society, 2003)This Letter develops an analytically tractable model for determining the equilibrium distribution of mismatch repair deficient strains in unicellular populations. The approach is based on the single fitness peak model, ... -
An Equilibrium Model of "Global Imbalances" and Low Interest Rates
(American Economic Association, 2008)Three of the most important recent facts in global macroeconomics — the sustained rise in the US current account deficit, the stubborn decline in long run real rates, and the rise in the share of US assets in global ... -

An Equilibrium-Dependent Retroviral mRNA Switch Regulates Translational Recoding
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)Most retroviruses require translational recoding of a viral messenger RNA stop codon to maintain a precise ratio of structural (Gag) and enzymatic (Pol) proteins during virus assembly. Pol is expressed exclusively as a ... -
Equity for Open-Access Journal Publishing
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Scholars write articles to be read--the more access to their articles the better--so one might think that the open-access approach to publishing, in which articles are freely available online to all without interposition ... -
Equity in the Receipt of Oseltamivir in the United States During the H1N1 Pandemic
(American Public Health Association, 2014)Objectives. We assessed the relationship between individual characteristics and receipt of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) in the United States during the H1N1 pandemic and other flu seasons. Methods. In a cohort of individuals ... -
Equity Volatility and Corporate Bond Yields
(Blackwell Publishing, 2003)This paper explores the effect of equity volatility on corporate bond yields. Panel data for the late 1990s show that idiosyncratic firm-level volatility can explain as much cross-sectional variation in yields as can credit ... -
Equivalence between spin Hamiltonians and boson sampling
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-03-24)Aaronson and Arkhipov showed that predicting or reproducing the measurement statistics of a general linear optics circuit with a single Fock-state input is a classically hard problem. Here we show that this problem, known ... -
Equivalence Principle Implications of Modified Gravity Models
(American Physical Society, 2009)Theories that attempt to explain the observed cosmic acceleration by modifying general relativity all introduce a new scalar degree of freedom that is active on large scales, but is screened on small scales to match ... -
Equivalence Principle's Test with Improved Accuracy using a Cryogenic Differential Accelerometer Installed on a Pendulum.
(2013)We present here a concept for a new experimental test of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) carried out in the gravity field of the Sun. Two test masses of different materials are the central elements of a differential ... -
ER Targeting and Insertion of Tail-Anchored Membrane Proteins by the GET Pathway
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2013-06-14)Hundreds of eukaryotic membrane proteins are anchored to membranes by a single transmembrane domain at their C-terminus. Many of these tail-anchored (TA) proteins are post-translationally targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum ... -
Erasmus and His Amanuenses
(Brill, 2019-03-13)This Margaret Mann Phillips lecture of 2018 examines Erasmus’s relationships with his amanuenses, building on the work of Franz Bierlaire (1968) and others. It especially considers when and why members of Erasmus’s familia ... -
eReaxFF: A Pseudoclassical Treatment of Explicit Electrons within Reactive Force Field Simulations
(American Chemical Society, 2016)We present a computational tool, eReaxFF, for simulating explicit electrons within the framework of the standard ReaxFF reactive force field method. We treat electrons explicitly in a pseudoclassical manner that enables ... -
Ergative Case and the Transitive Subject: A View from Nez Perce
(Springer Verlag, 2010)Ergative case, the special case of transitive subjects, raises questions not only for the theory of case but also for theories of subjecthood and transitivity. This paper analyzes the case system of Nez Perce, a ”three-way ... -

Erosion of Dosage Compensation Impacts Human iPSC Disease Modeling
(Elsevier BV, 2012)Although distinct human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) lines can display considerable epigenetic variation, it has been unclear whether such variability impacts their utility for disease modeling. Here, we show that ...
