Concurrent electromigration and creep in lead-free solder
(AIP Publishing, 2011)When electric current flows in a solder bump, electromigration generates stress, but creep relaxes it. After some time, the bump develops a steady-state stress field. We present a theory to show that the two processes - ... -
Concurrent muscle and bone deterioration in a murine model of cancer cachexia
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Cachexia is defined as an excessive, involuntary loss of fat and lean tissue. We tested the validity of the Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) as a model of cancer cachexia and examined its effect on the two major lean tissue ... -
Concurrent Reaction and Plasticity during Initial Lithiation of Crystalline Silicon in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Concurrent Validity of the Child Behavior Checklist DSM-Oriented Scales: Correspondence with DSM Diagnoses and Comparison to Syndrome Scales
(Springer Verlag, 2009)This study used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methodology and discriminative analyses to examine the correspondence of the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) rationally-derived DSM-oriented scales and empirically-derived ... -
Concussion management in US college football: progress and pitfalls
(2015)Reducing the frequency and severity of concussions from sport is an important issue in public health currently addressed by a multifaceted approach. Given the large number of participants and the comparatively high risk ... -
Concussions and youth football: using a public health law framework to head off a potential public health crisis
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Concussion from sport is increasingly recognized as a public health priority. In response, all states and the District of Columbia have enacted youth concussion legislation. This paper first examines key developments in ... -
Condensation on slippery asymmetric bumps
(Springer Nature, 2016)Controlling dropwise condensation is fundamental to water- harvesting systems1–3, desalination4, thermal power generation4–8, air conditioning9, distillation towers10, and numerous other applications4,5,11. For any of ... -
Condensed-matter physics: Catching relativistic electrons
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Low-energy electrons have been found to mimic relativistic high-energy particles in cadmium arsenide. This defines the first stable '3D Dirac semimetal', which holds promise for fundamental-physics exploration and practical ... -
Conditional cancer-specific mortality in T4, N1, or M1 prostate cancer: implications for long-term prognosis
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2015)Background: The risk of prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM) following a diagnosis of prostate cancer may improve after patients have survived a number of years after diagnosis. We sought to determine long-term ... -
Conditional Cash Transfers in Education: Design Features, Peer and Sibling Effects: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment in Colombia
(2008)We evaluate multiple variants of a commonly used intervention to boost education in developing countries -- the conditional cash transfer (CCT) -- with a student level randomization that allows us to generate intra-family ... -
A Conditional Randomization Test to Account for Covariate Imbalance in Randomized Experiments
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2016)We consider the conditional randomization test as a way to account for covariate imbalance in randomized experiments. The test accounts for covariate imbalance by comparing the observed test statistic to the null distribution ... -
Conditional Universal Consistency
(Elsevier, 1999)Players choose an action before learning an outcome chosen according to an unknown and history-dependent stochastic rule. Procedures that categorize outcomes, and use a randomized variation on fictitious play within each ... -
Conditioned to eat while watching television? Low-income caregivers’ perspectives on the role of snacking and television viewing among pre-schoolers
(2016)Objective: Although television (TV) viewing is frequently paired with snacking among young children, little is known about the environment in which caregivers promote this behaviour. We describe low-income pre-schoolers' ... -

Conducting a large, multi-site survey about patients’ views on broad consent: challenges and solutions
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: As biobanks play an increasing role in the genomic research that will lead to precision medicine, input from diverse and large populations of patients in a variety of health care settings will be important in ... -
Conducting Social Network and Social Norm Research in Low-Resource Settings: Food Insecurity, Depression, and HIV Testing in Rural Uganda
(2015-05-18)This dissertation examines the role of social networks and social norms in health outcomes and behaviors among low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), with a particular focus on Uganda. Paper 1 presents a systematic review ... -
Conducting sparse feature selection on arbitrarily long phrases in text corpora with a focus on interpretability
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)We propose a general framework for topic-specific summarization of large text corpora, and illustrate how it can be used for analysis in two quite different contexts: an OSHA database of fatality and catastrophe reports ... -
Conductivity of weakly disordered strange metals: From conformal to hyperscaling-violating regimes
(Elsevier BV, 2015)We present a semi-analytic method for constructing holographic black holes that interpolate from anti-de Sitter space to hyperscaling-violating geometries. These are holographic duals of conformal field theories in the ... -
Cone Photoreceptor Irregularity on Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy Correlates With Severity of Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Edema
(The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016)Purpose To determine whether cone density, spacing, or regularity in eyes with and without diabetes (DM) as assessed by high-resolution adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) correlates with presence of ...
