Expanding the Scope of Control and Raising
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)This paper presents unusual patterns in raising and control and offers a syntactic account which would validate such patterns. On the empirical side, we present evidence for backward control (data from several languages), ... -
Expansion of Biological Pathways Based on Evolutionary Inference
(Elsevier BV, 2014)The availability of diverse genomes makes it possible to predict gene function based on shared evolutionary history. This approach can be challenging, however, for pathways whose components do not exhibit a shared history ... -
Expansion of Diplopterys at the Expense of Banisteriopsis (Malpighiaceae)
(Harvard University Herbaria, 2006)Phylogenetic analyses of molecular and morphological data have shown the genus <i>Banisteriopsis</i> to be polyphyletic and the genus <i>Diplopterys</i> to be nested within <i>Banisteriopsis</i> subg. <i>Pleiopterys</i>, ... -
The Expansion of Due Process in Organizations

The expansion of tree plantations across tropical biomes
(Research Square Platform LLC, 2021-06-22)Across the tropics, recent agricultural shifts have led to a rapid expansion of tree plantations, often into intact forests and grasslands. However, this expansion is poorly characterized. Here we report tropical tree ... -
ExPASy: SIB bioinformatics resource portal
(Oxford University Press, 2012)ExPASy (http://www.expasy.org) has worldwide reputation as one of the main bioinformatics resources for proteomics. It has now evolved, becoming an extensible and integrative portal accessing many scientific resources, ... -
Expectation Value of the Lowest of a Set of Randomly Selected Integers
(1998)Consider the set of positive integers 0, 1, 2, ..., D. If we pick N of them at random, where N < (D+1), what is the expectation (or average value) of the lowest-valued of the N picks? We briefly describe the image database ... -
Expectations and Investment
(University of Chicago Press, 2015)Using micro data from Duke University quarterly survey of Chief Financial Officers, we show that corporate investment plans as well as actual investment are well explained by CFOs’ expectations of earnings growth. The ... -
Expectations of Returns and Expected Returns
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014)We analyze time series of investor expectations of future stock market returns from six data sources between 1963 and 2011. The six measures of expectations are highly positively correlated with each other, as well as with ... -
Expected Communication Cost of Distributed Quantum Tasks
(IEEE, 2018-06)A central question in classical information theory is that of source compression, which is the task where Alice receives a sample from a known probability distribution and needs to transmit it to the receiver Bob with small ... -
Expected Number and Flux Distribution of Gamma‐Ray Burst Afterglows with High Redshifts
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)If gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) occur at high redshifts, then their bright afterglow emission can be used to probe the ionization and metal enrichment histories of the intervening intergalactic medium during the epoch of ... -
Expected Returns on Real Investments: Evidence from the Film Industry
(2014)Asset pricers generally study the pricing of secondary market securities. Using a proprietary, project-level dataset on the film industry, I am able to study a cross-section of expected returns on real investments instead. ... -
Experience-Induced Neural Circuits That Achieve High Capacity
(The MIT Press, 2009)Over a lifetime cortex performs a vast number of different cognitive actions, mostly dependent on past experience. Previously it has not been known how such capabilities can be reconciled, even in principle, with the known ... -
Experiencing and perceiving visual surfaces
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 1992)A theoretical framework is proposed to understand binocular visual surface perception based on the idea of a mobile observer sampling images from random vantage points in space. Application of the generic sampling principle ... -
Experiencing Discrimination Increases Risk Taking
(SAGE Publications, 2012)Prior research has revealed racial disparities in health outcomes and health-compromising behaviors, such as smoking and drug abuse. It has been suggested that discrimination contributes to such disparities, but the ... -
An Experimental Analysis of Ending Rules in Internet Auctions
(Rand Journal of Economics, 2005)A great deal of late bidding has been observed on internet auctions such as eBay, which employ a second price auction with a fixed deadline. Much less late bidding has been observed on internet auctions such as those run ... -
Experimental Barley Flour Production in 12,500-Year-Old Rock-Cut Mortars in Southwestern Asia
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Experimental archaeology at a Natufian site in the Southern Levant documents for the first time the use of 12,500-year-old rock-cut mortars for producing wild barley flour, some 2,000 to 3,000 years before cereal cultivation. ... -
Experimental considerations motivated by the diphoton excess at the LHC
(Springer Nature, 2016)We consider the immediate or near-term experimental opportunities offered by some scenarios that could explain the new diphoton excess at the LHC. If the excess is due to a new particle Xs at 750 GeV, additional new particles ... -
Experimental Constraints on Nonequilibrium Interface Kinetic Models
(Elsevier, 1997)Experimental results relevant to models for nonequilibrium interface kinetics during rapid solidification are reviewed. Models are examined critically in light of these experiments. The kinetic Ising model is shown to ... -
Experimental Demonstration of Memory-Enhanced Quantum Communication
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-23)The ability to communicate quantum information over long distances is of central importance in quantum science and engineering. While some applications of quantum communication such as secure quantum key distribution (QKD) ...
