Analytic Steady-state Space Use Patterns and Rapid Computations in Mechanistic Home Range Analysis
(Springer Verlag, 2008)Mechanistic home range models are important tools in modeling animal dynamics in spatially complex environments. We introduce a class of stochastic models for animal movement in a habitat of varying preference. Such models ... -
Analytic Webs Support the Synthesis of Ecological Data Sets
(Ecological Society of America, 2006)A wide variety of data sets produced by individual investigators are now synthesized to address ecological questions that span a range of spatial and temporal scales. It is important to facilitate such syntheses so that ... -
Analytical approach to the protein design problem
(American Physical Society, 1999)We present an analytical method for determining the designability of protein structures. We apply our method to the case of two-dimensional lattice structures, and give a systematic solution for the spectrum of any structure. ... -
Analytical Devices Based on Direct Synthesis of DNA on Paper
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016)This paper addresses a growing need in clinical diagnostics for parallel, multiplex analysis of biomarkers from small biological samples. It describes a new procedure for assembling microarrays of ssDNA and proteins on ... -

Analytical nuclear gradients for the range-separated many-body dispersion model of noncovalent interactions
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)An accurate treatment of the long-range electron correlation energy, including van der Waals (vdW) or dispersion interactions, is essential for describing the structure, dynamics, and function of a wide variety of systems. ... -
Analytical Results for Individual and Group Selection of Any Intensity
(Springer Verlag, 2008)The idea of evolutionary game theory is to relate the payoff of a game to reproductive success (= fitness). An underlying assumption in most models is that fitness is a linear function of the payoff. For stochastic ... -
Analyzing Forensic Evidence Based on Density with Magnetic Levitation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)This paper describes a method for determining the density of contact trace objects with magnetic levitation (MagLev). MagLev measurements accurately determine the density (±0.0002 g/cm3) of a diamagnetic object and are ... -
Analyzing networks of phenotypes in complex diseases: methodology and applications in COPD
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: The investigation of complex disease heterogeneity has been challenging. Here, we introduce a network-based approach, using partial correlations, that analyzes the relationships among multiple disease-related ... -
Analyzing Second Stage Ecological Regressions: Comment on Herron and Shotts
(Oxford University Press, 2003) -
Anaphor Binding: What French Inanimate Anaphors Show
(MIT Press - Journals, 2016)Owing to different ideas about what counts as an anaphor subject to Condition A, two influential but superficially incompatible versions of Condition A of binding theory have coexisted: Chomsky’s (1986) version, and versions ... -
Anaphoric dependencies in ellipsis

Anatomic and Molecular Development of Corticostriatal Projection Neurons in Mice
(Oxford University Press, 2013-03-18)Corticostriatal projection neurons (CStrPN) project from the neocortex to ipsilateral and contralateral striata to control and coordinate motor programs and movement. They are clinically important as the predominant cortical ... -
Anatomical and Ecological Constraints on Phanerozoic Animal Diversity in the Marine Realm
(National Academy of Sciences, 2002)We grouped the fossil records of marine animal genera into suites defined by function and physiology, The stratigraphic coherence of the resulting diversity history indicates the importance of ecological structure in ... -
Anatomical Constraints on Attention: Hemifield Independence Is a Signature of Multifocal Spatial Selection
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2012)Previous studies have shown independent attentional selection of targets in the left and right visual hemifields during attentional tracking (Alvarez & Cavanagh, 2005) but not during a visual search (Luck, Hillyard, Mangun, ... -
An Anatomical Description of a Miniaturized Acorn Worm (Hemichordata, Enteropneusta) with Asexual Reproduction by Paratomy
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The interstitial environment of marine sandy bottoms is a nutrient-rich, sheltered habitat whilst at the same time also often a turbulent, space-limited, and ecologically challenging environment dominated by meiofauna. The ... -
Anatomically modern Carboniferous harvestmen demonstrate early cladogenesis and stasis in Opiliones
(Springer Nature, 2011)Harvestmen, the third most-diverse arachnid order, are an ancient group found on all continental landmasses, except Antarctica. However, a terrestrial mode of life and leathery, poorly mineralized exoskeleton makes ... -
The Anatomy of the Column Density Probability Distribution Function (N-PDF)
(American Astronomical Society, 2018-06-04)The column density probability distribution function (N-PDF) of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) has been used as a diagnostic of star formation. Simulations and analytic predictions have suggested that the N-PDF is composed ... -
Anatomy of the Photochemical Reaction: Excited-State Dynamics Reveals the C–H Acidity Mechanism of Methoxy Photo-oxidation on Titania

Ancestral Polymorphism of Mhc Class II Genes in Mice: Implications for Balancing Selection and the Mammalian Molecular Clock
(Genetics Society of America, 1997)To investigate the evolutionary dynamics at Mhc class II DR genes of mice (genus Mus),we sequenced the peptide binding regions (PBRs) of 41 DRB (=E beta) genes and eight DRA (=E alpha) genes from 15 strains representing ...
