    • Annotating floor plans using deformable polygons 

      Ryall, Kathy; Marks, Joe; Mazer, Murray; Shieber, Stuart Merrill (1993)
      The ability to recognize regions in a bitmap image has applications in various areas, from document recognition of scanned building floor plans to processing of scanned forms. We consider the use of deformable polygons for ...

      Background: Suicide is a leading cause of death and a complex clinical outcome. Here we summarize the current state of research pertaining to suicidal thoughts and behaviors in youth. We review their definitions/measurement ...

    • The Anoles of Soroa: Aspects of Their Ecological Relationships 

      Rodriguez Schettino, Lourdes; Losos, Jonathan; Hertz, Paul E; de Queiroz, Kevin; Chamizo, Ada R; Leal, Manuel; Rivalta Gonzalez, Vilma (BioOne, 2010)
      Most lizard communities are characterized by having one or two dominant species and a handful of other species that occur at relatively low densities. However, Soroa, a site in the Sierra del Rosario of western Cuba, is ...

    • The Anolis Lizard Genome: An Amniote Genome without Isochores 

      Fujita, Matthew; Edwards, Scott V.; Ponting, Chris P. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011)
      Isochores are large regions of relatively homogeneous nucleotide composition and are present in the genomes of all mammals and birds that have been sequenced to date. The newly sequenced genome of Anolis carolinensis ...

    • Anomalies on orbifolds 

      Arkani-Hamed, Nima; Cohen, Andrew G.; Georgi, Howard (Elsevier BV, 2001)
      We discuss the form of the chiral anomaly on an S 1/Z2 orbifold with chiral boundary conditions. We find that the 4-divergence of the higher-dimensional current evaluated at a given point in the extra dimension is proportional ...

    • Anomalies: Closed-End Mutual Funds 

      Lee, Charles; Shleifer, Andrei; Thaler, Richard H (American Economic Association, 1990)

    • Anomalous Carbonate Precipitates: Is the Precambrian the Key to the Permian? 

      Grotzinger, John P.; Knoll, Andrew (Society for Sedimentary Geology, 1995)
      Late Permian reefs of the Capitan complex, west Texas; the Magnesian Limestone, England; Chuenmuping reef, south China; and elsewhere contain anomalously large volumes of aragonite and calcite marine cements and seafloor ...

    • Anomalous Conductance Quantization in Carbon Nanotubes 

      Biercuk, M. J.; Mason, N.; Martin, J.; Yacoby, A.; Marcus, C. M. (American Physical Society, 2005)

    • Anomalous Conductances in an Ultracold Quantum Wire 

      Kanász-Nagy, M.; Glazman, L.; Esslinger, T.; Demler, E. A. (American Physical Society, 2016)
      We analyze the recently measured anomalous transport properties of an ultracold gas through a ballistic constriction [S. Krinner et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 113, 8144 (2016)]. The quantized conductance observed ...

    • Anomalous Diffusion and Griffiths Effects Near the Many-Body Localization Transition 

      Agarwal, Kartiek; Gopalakrishnan, Sarang; Knap, Michael; Müller, Markus; Demler, Eugene (American Physical Society, 2015)
      We explore the high-temperature dynamics of the disordered, one-dimensional XXZ model near the many-body localization (MBL) transition, focusing on the delocalized (i.e., "metallic") phase. In the vicinity of the transition, ...

    • Anomalous Diffusion of Fe in Liquid Al Measured by the Pulsed Laser Technique 

      Isono, N.; Smith, Patrick M.; Turnbull, David; Aziz, Michael (Springer, 1996)
      The diffusivity of Fe and Cu in liquid Al was measured by using a nanosecond-duration pulsed laser to melt thin Al films ion implanted with solute. The thin film geometry eliminates convection in the melt during the ...

    • Anomalous Expansion of Attractively Interacting Fermionic Atoms in an Optical Lattice 

      Hackermuller, Lucia; Schneider, Ulrich; Moreno-Cardoner, Maria; Kitagawa, Takuya; Will, Sebastian; Best, Thorsten; Demler, Eugene A.; Altman, Ehud; Bloch, Immanuel; Paredes, Belen (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2010)
      Strong correlations can dramatically modify the thermodynamics of a quantum many-particle system. Especially intriguing behaviour can appear when the system adiabatically enters a strongly correlated regime, for the interplay ...

    • Anomalous Layering at the Liquid Sn Surface 

      Shpyrko, Oleg G.; Grigoriev, Alexei Yu.; Steimer, Christoph; Pershan, Peter S.; Lin, Binhua; Meron, Mati; Graber, Tim; Gerbhardt, Jeff; Ocko, Ben; Deutsch, Moshe (American Physical Society, 2004)
      X-ray reflectivity measurements on the free surface of liquid Sn are presented. They exhibit the high-angle peak, indicative of surface-induced layering, also found for other pure liquid metals (Hg, Ga, and In). However, ...

    • Anomalous Near-Field Heat Transfer between a Cylinder and a Perforated Surface 

      Rodriguez, Alejandro W.; Reid, M. T. Homer; Varela, Jaime; Joannopoulos, John D.; Capasso, Federico; Johnson, Steven G. (American Physical Society, 2013)
      We predict that the near-field radiative heat-transfer rate between a cylinder and a perforated surface depends nonmonotonically on their separation. This anomalous behavior, which arises due to evanescent-wave effects, ...
