S-brane thermodynamics
(Springer Verlag, 2003)The description of string-theoretic s-branes at g(s)=0 as exact worldsheet CFTs with a lambda cosh X-0 or lambdae(+/-X 0) boundary interaction is considered. Due to the imaginary-time periodicity of the interaction under ... -
S-duality and noncommutative gauge theory
(Springer Verlag, 2000)It is conjectured that strongly coupled, spatially noncommutative N = 4 Yang-Mills theory has a dual description as a weakly coupled open string theory in a near critical electric field, and that this dual theory is fully ... -
S-duality and Topological Strings
(Springer Verlag, 2004) -
The S-parameter in holographic technicolor models
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2007)We study the S parameter, considering especially its sign, in models of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) in extra dimensions, with fermions localized near the UV brane. Such models are conjectured to be dual to 4D ... -

S3 and the L = 1 baryons in the quark model and the chiral quark model
(American Physical Society (APS), 1999)The S 3 symmetry corresponding to permuting the positions of the quarks within a baryon allows us to study the 70-plet of L = 1 baryons without an explicit choice for the spatial part of the quark wave functions: given a ... -

Sacred Slaughter: The Discourse of Priestly Violence as Refracted Through the Zeal of Phinehas in the Hebrew Bible and in Jewish Literature
(2015-09-24)The story of Phinehas’ zealous slaying of an Israelite man and the Midianite woman with whom he dared consort in public (Numbers 25) is perhaps the most notorious of a number of famed pentateuchal narratives that are marked ... -
The "Sacrifice" at the End of the Georgics, Aristaeus, and Vergilian Closure

Safety and Availability of Clofazimine in the Treatment of Multidrug and Extensively Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: Analysis of Published Guidance and Meta-Analysis of Cohort Studies
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2013-12-11)Objectives: Given the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), new therapies are urgently needed, including the repurposing of existing drugs. We aimed to assess key considerations for the clinical and programmatic ... -
Safety and Effectiveness of Extended Treatment with Oral Anticoagulants Among Patients with Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism
(2021-01-20)Background: According to the American College of Chest Physicians 2016 guidelines, the minimum recommended duration of oral anticoagulant therapy for all patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) is three months. However, ... -
Safety in Markets: An Impossibility Theorem for Dutch Books
(2007)We show that competitive markets protect consumers from many forms of exploitation, even when consumers have non-standard preferences. We analyze a competitive dynamic economy in which consumers have arbitrary time-separable ... -
Safety-Aware System Optimization for Autonomous Machines
(2024-05-01)Autonomous machines such as vehicles, drones, and robotic manipulators promise to transform the world by unleashing humans from repetitive, dangerous, and labor-intensive tasks. However, their widespread deployment requires ... -
Sailing to Nuceria: Evidence for the Date of Xenophon of Ephesus
(Kaapstad, A.A. Balkema, 2011)On the basis of the episode in which Habrocomes puts in to Italy at Nuceria (καταίρει ... εϊς Νονκέριον τής 'Ιταλίας, Xen. Eph. 5.8.1), this article argues that Xenophon of Ephesus was writing between the late Flavian and ... -

Salience and Consumer Choice
(University of Chicago Press, 2013)We present a theory of context-dependent choice in which a consumer’s attention is drawn to salient attributes of goods, such as quality or price. An attribute is salient for a good when it stands out among the good’s ... -
Salience and Experimental Tests of the Endowment Effect
(American Economic Association, 2012)We provide a novel account of experimental evidence for the endowment effect using the salience mechanism (Bordalo, Gennaioli, and Shleifer, 2011). The two-stage procedure implemented in experiments implies that the endowed ... -
Salience and Taxation: Theory and Evidence
(The American Economic Association, 2009)Using two strategies, we show that consumers underreact to taxes that are not salient. First, using a field experiment in a grocery store, we find that posting tax-inclusive price tags reduces demand by 8 percent. Second, ... -
Salience Theory of Choice Under Risk
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012)We present a theory of choice among lotteries in which the decision maker's attention is drawn to (precisely defined) salient payoffs. This leads the decision maker to a context-dependent representation of lotteries in ...
