Buying Inertia: Preempting Social Disorder With Selective Welfare Provision in Urban China
(2015-03-30)A considerable number of welfare programs and social policies are adopted by authoritarian regimes, but we know relatively little about what shapes the pattern of redistribution in the absence of electoral competition. ... -
BVRI light curves for 22 type Ia supernovae
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)We present 1210 Johnson/Cousins B, V, R, and I photometric observations of 22 recent Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia): SNe 1993ac, 1993ae, 1994M, 1994S, 1994T, 1994Q, 1994ae, 1995D, 1995E, 1995al, 1995ac, 1995ak, 1995bd, 1996C, ... -
By Force of Habit: A Consumption-Based Explanation of Aggregate Stock Market Behavior
(University of Chicago Press, 1999)We present a consumption‐based model that explains a wide variety of dynamic asset pricing phenomena, including the procyclical variation of stock prices, the long‐horizon predictability of excess stock returns, and the ... -
Bypass to Turbulence in Hydrodynamic Accretion Disks: An Eigenvalue Approach
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)Cold accretion disks with temperatures below similar to 3000 K are likely to be composed of highly neutral gas. The magnetorotational instability may cease to operate in such disks, so it is of interest to consider purely ... -
Bypass to Turbulence in Hydrodynamic Accretion: Lagrangian Analysis of Energy Growth
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)Despite observational evidence for cold neutral astrophysical accretion disks, the viscous process that may drive the accretion in such systems is not yet understood. While molecular viscosity is too small to explain the ... -
Byzantine Carved Gemstones: Their Typology, Dating, Materiality, and Function
(2015-05-17)This dissertation examines gemstones carved in relief from the middle and late Byzantine periods. Byzantine gems share a similar aesthetic with relief carvings in ivory and steatite, but they have not been as thoroughly ... -
c = 1 string as the topological theory of the conifold

C-H Amination Catalysis from High-Spin Ferrous Complexes
(2013-10-15)The C-H amination and olefin aziridination chemistry of iron supported by dipyrromethene ligands (RLAr, L=1,9-R2-5-aryldipyrromethene, R = Mes, 2,4,6-Ph3C6H2, tBu, Ad, 10-camphoryl, Ar = Mes, 2,4,6-Cl3C6H2) was explored. ... -
C-H Bond Amination from a Ferrous Dipyrromethene Complex
(American Chemical Society, 2009)In this Communication, we report an intramolecular C-H bond amination reaction of a dipyrromethene ferrous complex with organic azides. Monitoring of the spectral changes (variable temperature NMR and UV-vis) of the FeII ... -
The C. elegans Lifespan Machine and its application to the temperature scaling of lifespan
(2013-10-08)Lifespan results from the complex interaction between genetic, environmental and stochastic factors, and therefore varies widely even among isogenic individuals. In C. elegans , the action of molecular mechanisms on aging ... -
C/EBPα Activates Pre-existing and De Novo Macrophage Enhancers during Induced Pre-B Cell Transdifferentiation and Myelopoiesis
(Elsevier, 2015)Summary Transcription-factor-induced somatic cell conversions are highly relevant for both basic and clinical research yet their mechanism is not fully understood and it is unclear whether they reflect normal differentiation ... -
C/Harm City: The Drama of the Baltimore Street in Three Acts
(2021-09-09)This is an ethnography of homicide and its effects in inner-city Baltimore based on over 14 months of fieldwork in the city, much of it in support groups, at community meetings, candlelight vigils, on street corners, and ... -
C/o and Snowline Locations in Protoplanetary Disks: The Effect of Radial Drift and Viscous Gas Accretion
(IOP Publishing, 2015)The C/O ratio is a defining feature of both gas giant atmospheric and protoplanetary disk chemistry. In disks, the C/O ratio is regulated by the presence of snowlines of major volatiles at different distances from the ... -
C2absorption-line diagnostics of diffuse interstellar clouds
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2002)The excitation of the diatomic carbon molecule in diffuse interstellar clouds is discussed for a cloud with large density fluctuations of small linear filling factor along the line of sight. Possible implications for the ... -
C60-Propylamine Adduct Monolayers at the Gas/Water Interface: A Brewster Angle Microscopy and X-Ray Scattering Study
(American Institute of Physics, 1997)Brewster angle microscopy (BAM), x-ray specular reflectivity and grazing-incidence x-ray diffraction (GID) studies of C60-propylamine adduct monolayers at the gas/water interface as a function of molecular area are reported. ... -
C9orf72 suppresses systemic and neural inflammation induced by gut bacteria
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-13)A hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the most common genetic variant contributing to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal dementia (FTD)1,2. The C9ORF72 mutation acts through gain and loss of ... -
Cache Craftiness for Fast Multicore Key-Value Storage
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)We present Masstree, a fast key-value database designed for SMP machines. Masstree keeps all data in memory. Its main data structure is a trie-like concatenation of \(B^+\)-trees, each of which handles a fixed-length slice ... -
Cache-Fair Thread Scheduling for Multicore Processors
(2006)We present a new operating system scheduling algorithm for multicore processors. Our algorithm reduces the effects of unequal CPU cache sharing that occur on these processors and cause unfair CPU sharing, priority inversion, ... -
Cache-Oblivious Streaming B-Trees
(Association for Computer Machinery, 2007)A streaming B-tree is a dictionary that efficiently implements insertions and range queries. We present two cache-oblivious streaming B-trees, the shuttle tree, and the cache-oblivious lookahead array (COLA). For block-transfer ... -
