Calculation of Mercury's Effects on Neurodevelopment
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2012) -
Calculation of the dynamics of surface melting during laser annealing
(AIP Publishing, 1979)We present a thermal transport model to describe the melting and resolidification of semiconductors which is observed to occur during annealing with a pulsed laser. The temperature‐dependent properties of both the solid ... -
The Calcutta Pococurante Society: Public and Private in India's Age of Reform
(The Public Domain Review, 2016-08)Joshua Ehrlich on an obscure text found on the shelves of a Bengali library and the light it sheds on the idea of the “public” in 19th-century Calcutta. -
Calibrating abundance indices with population size estimators of red back salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) in a New England Forest.
(PeerJ Inc., 2015)Herpetologists and conservation biologists frequently use convenient and cost-effective, but less accurate, abundance indices (e.g., number of individuals collected under artificial cover boards or during natural objects ... -
Calibrating physical activity intensity for hip-worn accelerometry in women age 60 to 91 years: The Women's Health Initiative OPACH Calibration Study
(2015)Objective: We conducted a laboratory-based calibration study to determine relevant cutpoints for a hip-worn accelerometer among women ≥60 years, considering both type and filtering of counts. Methods: Two hundred women ... -
Calibrating Rates of Early Cambrian Evolution
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1993)An explosive episode of biological diversification occurred near the beginning of the Cambrian period. Evolutionary rates in the Cambrian have been difficult to quantify accurately because of a lack of high-precision ages. ... -
Calibrating the Cryogenian
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2010)The Neoproterozoic was an era of great environmental and biological change, but a paucity of direct and precise age constraints on strata from this time has prevented the complete integration of these records. We present ... -
Calibrating the Galaxy Halo–Black Hole Relation Based on the Clustering of Quasars
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)The observed number counts of quasars can be explained either by long-lived activity within rare massive hosts or by short-lived activity within smaller, more common hosts. It has been argued that quasar lifetimes can ... -
Calibrating the Human Mutation Rate via Ancestral Recombination Density in Diploid Genomes
(Public Library of Science, 2015)The human mutation rate is an essential parameter for studying the evolution of our species, interpreting present-day genetic variation, and understanding the incidence of genetic disease. Nevertheless, our current estimates ... -
Calibration and Validation of an Innovative Approach for Estimating General Cognitive Performance
(S. Karger AG, 2014)Objective: To evaluate a new approach for creating a composite measure of cognitive function, we calibrated a measure of general cognitive performance from existing neuropsychological batteries. Methods: We applied our ... -
Calibration Hardware and Methodology for Large Photometric Surveys
(2020-10-07)Photometric surveys such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES), the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), and Pan-STARRS are and will continue to be increasingly large sources of data for the astronomical community. Type Ia ... -
Calibration of an Astrophysical Spectrograph Below 1 m/s Using a Laser Frequency Comb
(Optical Society of America, 2012)We deployed two wavelength calibrators based on laser frequency combs (“astro-combs”) at an astronomical telescope. One astro- comb operated over a 100 nm band in the deep red (∼ 800 nm) and a second operated over a 20 nm ... -
Calibration of the MEarth Photometric System: Optical Magnitudes and Photometric Metallicity Estimates for 1802 Nearby M-dwarfs
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)The MEarth Project is a photometric survey systematically searching the smallest stars nearest to the Sun for transiting rocky planets. Since 2008, MEarth has taken approximately two million images of 1844 stars suspected ... -
Calibration of the Total Carbon Column Observing Network Using Aircraft Profile Data
(Copernicus GmbH, 2010)The Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) produces precise measurements of the column average dry-air mole fractions of \(CO_2\), \(CO\), \(CH_4\), \(N_2O\) and \(H_2O\) at a variety of sites worldwide. These ... -
Calibration Procedures for a Computational Model of Ductile Fracture
(Elsevier, 2010)A recent extension of the Gurson constitutive model of damage and failure of ductile structural alloys accounts for localization and crack formation under shearing as well as tension. When properly calibrated against a ... -
California against Nature
(Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, 2010) -
California's Early Coverage Expansion under the Affordable Care Act: A County-Level Analysis
(BioMed Central, 2015)Objective: To assess the coverage effects of California's 2011 Low-Income Health Program (LIHP), enacted as an “early expansion” under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and to demonstrate the feasibility of using Census data ... -
California’s Harvest Gypsies: Race and the Reproduction of Colonial Power in the New Deal Era
(2022-03-10)This study challenges the prevailing narrative that agriculturally-bound southwestern migrants entering California’s rural valleys during the 1930s were marginalized socio-politically as a consequence of the Great Depression, ... -
The Caliph and the Professor: A. Edward Newton's correspondence with Chauncey Brewster Tinker
