    • Protoplanetary Disks in Multiple Star Systems 

      Harris, Robert Jason (2013-10-18)
      Most stars are born in multiple systems, so the presence of a stellar companion may commonly influence planet formation. Theory indicates that companions may inhibit planet formation in two ways. First, dynamical ...

    • Protostar Formation in the Early Universe 

      Yoshida, N.; Omukai, K.; Hernquist, L. (Cambridge University Press, 2008)
      The nature of the first generation of stars in the universe remains largely unknown. Observations imply the existence of massive primordial stars early in the history of the universe, and the standard theory for the growth ...

      Park, Min Ho; Hyun, Hoon; Ashitate, Yoshitomo; Wada, Hideyuki; Park, GwangLi; Lee, Jeong Heon; Njiojob, Costyl; Henary, Maged; Frangioni, John V.; Choi, Hak Soo (Ivyspring International Publisher, 2014)
      Nerve preservation is an important issue during most surgery because accidental transection or injury results in significant morbidity, including numbness, pain, weakness, or paralysis. Currently, nerves are still identified ...

    • Provenance as First Class Cloud Data 

      Muniswamy-Reddy, Kiran-Kumar; Seltzer, Margo I. (Association for Computing Machinery, 2010)
      Digital provenance is meta-data that describes the ancestry or history of a digital object. Most work on provenance focuses on how provenance increases the value of data to consumers. However, provenance is also valuable ...

    • Provenance for the Cloud 

      Muniswamy-Reddy, Kiran-Kumar; Macko, Peter; Seltzer, Margo I. (The USENIX Association, 2010)
      The cloud is poised to become the next computing environment for both data storage and computation due to its pay-as-you-go and provision-as-you-go models. Cloud storage is already being used to back up desktop user data, ...

    • Provenance Integration Requires Reconciliation 

      Angelino, Elaine Lee; Braun, Uri Jacob; Holland, David A; Macko, Peter; Margo, Daniel Wyatt; Seltzer, Margo I. (2011)
      While there has been a great deal of research on provenance systems, there has been little discussion about challenges that arise when making different provenance systems interoperate. In fact, most of the literature focuses ...

    • Provenance Map Orbiter: Interactive Exploration of Large Provenance Graphs 

      Macko, Peter; Seltzer, Margo I. (USENIX Association, 2011)
      Provenance systems can produce enormous provenance graphs that can be used for a variety of tasks from determining the inputs to a particular process to debugging entire workflow executions or tracking difficult-to-find ...

    • The provenance of the Trevet chronicle (fMS Eng 938) 

      Rose, Christine M. (Harvard Library, 1993)

    • Provenance-Aware Sensor Data Storage 

      Ledlie, Jonathan; Ng, Chaki; Holland, David A.; Muniswamy-Reddy, Kiran-Kumar; Braun, Uri; Seltzer, Margo (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
      Sensor network data has both historical and realtime value. Making historical sensor data useful, in particular, requires storage, naming, and indexing. Sensor data presents new challenges in these areas. Such data is ...

    • Provenance-Aware Storage Systems 

      Muniswamy-Reddy, Kiran-Kumar; Holland, David A; Braun, Uri; Seltzer, Margo I. (2006)
      A Provenance-Aware Storage System (PASS) is a storage system that automatically collects and maintains provenance or lineage, the complete history or ancestry of an item. We discuss the advantages of treating provenance ...

    • Provenance-Aware Storage Systems 

      Seltzer, Margo I.; Muniswamy-Reddy, Kiran-Kumar; Holland, David A.; Braun, Uri; Ledlie, Jonathan (2005)
      Provenance is a type of meta-data that describes the history or ancestry of an object. Although provenance is typically manually generated and stored in a stand-alone database, we make the case that it must be managed by ...

    • Provenance: A Future History 

      Cheney, James; Chong, Stephen N; Foster, Nate; Seltzer, Margo I.; Vansummeren, Stijn (Associate for Computing Machinery, 2009)
      Science, industry, and society are being revolutionized by radical new capabilities for information sharing, distributed computation, and collaboration offered by the World Wide Web. This revolution promises dramatic ...

    • Proverbial Economies: How an Understanding of Some Linguistic and Social Features of Common Sense Can Throw Light on More Prestigious Bodies of Knowledge, Science for Example 

      Shapin, Steven (Sage Publications, 2001)
      An evaluative contrast between learned expertise and lay knowledge is a pervasive and longstanding feature of modern culture. Occasionally, the learned have pointed to folkish proverbs to illustrate the inadequacies of ...

    • Providence: from pronoia to immanent affirmation in John Calvin's Institutes of 1559 

      Sanchez, Michelle Chaplin (2014-06-06)
      Over the twentieth century and into the present, theorists of secularization and political theology have explored ways that theological arguments have shaped the social, ethical, economic, and political imaginaries of the ...
