Identification of Treatment Effects With Selective Participation in a Randomized Trial
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-09-14)Randomized trials (RTs) are used to learn about treatment effects. This paper studies identification of average treatment response (ATR) and average treatment effect (ATE) from RT data under various assumptions. The focus ... -
Identification of Two Independent Risk Factors for Lupus within the MHC in United Kingdom Families
(Public Library of Science, 2007)The association of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) with SLE is well established yet the causal variants arising from this region remain to be identified, largely due to inadequate study design and the strong ... -
Identification of two inner-membrane proteins required for the transport of lipopolysaccharide to the outer membrane of Escherichia coli
(National Academy of Sciences, 2008)The outer membrane (OM) of most Gram-negative bacteria contains lipopolysaccharide (LIPS) in the outer leaflet. LPS, or endotoxin, is a molecule of important biological activities. In the host, LPS elicits a potent immune ... -
Identification, Classifications, and Absolute Properties of 773 Eclipsing Binaries Found in the Trans-atlantic Exoplanet Survey
(American Astronomical Society, 2008)In recent years, we have witnessed an explosion of photometric time-series data, collected for the purpose of finding a small number of rare sources, such as transiting extrasolar planets and gravitational microlenses. ... -
Identifying a Damped Oscillatory Thermohaline Mode in a General Circulation Model Using an Adjoint Model
(American Meteorological Society, 2001)A damped oscillatory mode of the thermohaline circulation (THC), which may play a role in interdecadal climate variability, is identified in a global primitive equation model. This analysis is done under mixed ... -
Identifying a Minimal Rheological Configuration: A Tool for Effective and Efficient Constitutive Modeling of Soft Tissues
(ASME International, 2011)We describe a modeling methodology intended as a preliminary step in the identification of appropriate constitutive frameworks for the time-dependent response of biological tissues. The modeling approach comprises a ... -
Identifying Agglomeration Spillovers: Evidence from Winners and Losers of Large Plant Openings
(The University of Chicago Press, 2010)We quantify agglomeration spillovers by estimating the impact of the opening of a large manufacturing plant on the total factor productivity (TFP) of incumbent plants in the same county. We use the location rankings of ... -
Identifying and Developing Empirically Supported Child and Adolescent Treatments
(American Psychological Association, 1998)Child and adolescent therapy outcome research findings attest to the efficacy of a variety of treatments. This article illustrates promising treatments for selected internalizing (anxiety and depression), externalizing ... -
Identifying bad measurements in compressive sensing
(2011)We consider the problem of identifying bad measurements in compressive sensing. These bad measurements can be present due to malicious attacks and system malfunction. Since the system of linear equations in compressive ... -
Identifying candidates for targeted gait rehabilitation after stroke: better prediction through biomechanics-informed characterization
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Walking speed has been used to predict the efficacy of gait training; however, poststroke motor impairments are heterogeneous and different biomechanical strategies may underlie the same walking speed. Identifying ... -
Identifying Gamma-Ray Burst Remnants through Positron Annihilation Radiation
(American Astronomical Society, 2002)We model the annihilation of relic positrons produced in a gamma-ray burst (GRB) after its afterglow has faded. We find that the annihilation signal from at least one GRB remnant in the Milky Way should be observable with ... -
Identifying Gamma‐Ray Burst Remnants in Nearby Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)We study the spectral signatures arising from cooling and recombination of an interstellar medium whose equilibrium state has been altered over similar to 100 pc by the radiation of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) and its afterglow. ... -
Identifying Intra-Party Voting Blocs in UK House of Commons
(American Statistical Association, 2009-10-28)Legislative voting records are an important source of information about legislator preferences, intra-party cohesiveness, and the divisiveness of various policy issues. Standard methods of analyzing a legislative voting ... -
Identifying Preferences in Networks With Bounded Degree
(The Econometric Society, 2018)This paper provides a framework for identifying preferences in a large network where links are pairwise stable. Network formation models present difficulties for identification, especially when links can be interdependent, ... -
Identifying Recent Adaptations in Large-Scale Genomic Data
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Summary: Although several hundred regions of the human genome harbor signals of positive natural selection, few of the relevant adaptive traits and variants have been elucidated. Using full-genome sequence variation from ... -
Identifying Structural Flow Defects in Disordered Solids Using Machine-Learning Methods
(American Physical Society, 2015)We use machine-learning methods on local structure to identify flow defects-or particles susceptible to rearrangement-in jammed and glassy systems. We apply this method successfully to two very different systems: a ... -
Identifying Supermassive Black Hole Binaries with Broad Emission Line Diagnosis
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)Double-peaked broad emission lines in active galactic nuclei may indicate the existence of a bound supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary where two distinct broad-line regions (BLRs) contribute together to the line profile. ... -
Identifying the Environment and Redshift of Gamma‐Ray Burst Afterglows from the Time Dependence of Their Absorption Spectra
(American Astronomical Society, 1998)The discovery of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows revealed a new class of variable sources at optical and radio wavelengths. At present, the environment and precise redshift of the detected afterglows are still unknown. ... -
Identifying the Optimal Pd Ensemble Size in Dilute PdAu Alloy Nanomaterials for Benzaldehyde Hydrogenation

Identifying the proteins to which small-molecule probes and drugs bind in cells
(National Academy of Sciences, 2009)Most small-molecule probes and drugs alter cell circuitry by interacting with 1 or more proteins. A complete understanding of the interacting proteins and their associated protein complexes, whether the compounds are ...
