Bondi Accretion and the Problem of the Missing Isolated Neutron Stars
(American Astronomical Society, 2003)A large number of neutron stars (NSs), similar to10(9), populate the Galaxy, but only a tiny fraction of them is observable during the short radio pulsar lifetime. The majority of these isolated NSs, too cold to be detectable ... -
Bondi Flow from a Slowly Rotating Hot Atmosphere
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011)A supermassive black hole in the nucleus of an elliptical galaxy at the centre of a cool-core group or cluster of galaxies is immersed in hot gas. Bondi accretion should occur at a rate determined by the properties of the ... -
Bone Marrow–on–a–Chip Replicates Hematopoietic Niche Physiology in Vitro
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Current in vitro hematopoiesis models fail to demonstrate the cellular diversity and complex functions of living bone marrow; hence, most translational studies relevant to the hematologic system are conducted in live ... -
Bone Mineral Density of the Spine in 11,898 Chinese Infants and Young Children: A Cross-Sectional Study
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Bone mineral density (BMD) increases progressively during childhood and adolescence and is affected by various genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to establish reference values for ... -
The Bones of the Milky Way
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)The very long, thin infrared dark cloud "Nessie" is even longer than had been previously claimed, and an analysis of its Galactic location suggests that it lies directly in the Milky Way’s mid-plane, tracing out a highly ... -
Bonobos Exhibit Delayed Development of Social Behavior and Cognition Relative to Chimpanzees
(Elsevier, 2010)Phenotypic changes between species can occur when evolution shapes development. Here, we tested whether differences in the social behavior and cognition of bonobos and chimpanzees derive from shifts in their ontogeny, ... -

Boosting and Differential Privacy
(IEEE Computer Society, 2010)Boosting is a general method for improving the accuracy of learning algorithms. We use boosting to construct improved privacy-preserving synopses of an input database. These are data structures that yield, for a given set ... -
Bootstrap Learning Via Modular Concept Discovery
(AAAI Press/International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, 2013)Suppose a learner is faced with a domain of problems about which it knows nearly nothing. It does not know the distribution of problems, the space of solutions is not smooth, and the reward signal is uninformative, providing ... -
Bootstrapped Biocatalysis: Biofilm-Derived Materials as Reversibly Functionalizable Multienzyme Surfaces
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017)Cell-free biocatalysis systems offer many benefits for chemical manufacturing, but their widespread applicability is hindered by high costs associated with enzyme purification, modification, and immobilization on solid ...
