    • Cellular Interrogation: Exploiting Cell-to-Cell Variability to Discriminate Regulatory Mechanisms in Oscillatory Signalling 

      Estrada, Javier; Andrew, Natalie; Gibson, Daniel; Chang, Frederick; Gnad, Florian; Gunawardena, Jeremy (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      The molecular complexity within a cell may be seen as an evolutionary response to the external complexity of the cell’s environment. This suggests that the external environment may be harnessed to interrogate the cell’s ...

    • Cellular Metabolism Modulates Ion Channels That Regulate Neuronal Excitability 

      Lutas, Andrew (2015-05-01)
      Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder, affecting around 1% of the world’s population. For many, drugs are available that can prevent their seizures. However, for close to one third of those who suffer from epilepsy, ...

    • Cellular nanoscale stiffness patterns governed by intracellular forces 

      Friedsam, Claudia; Sahin, Ozgur; Mandriota, Nicola; Jones-Molina, John; Tatem, Kathleen; Ingber, Donald (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-06-17)
      Cell stiffness measurements have led to insights into various physiological and pathological processes. Although many cellular behaviours are influenced by intracellular mechanical forces that also alter the material ...

    • Cellular Resolution Imaging in a Rodent Model for High-Level Vision 

      Rhee, Juliana Yoo-Min (2021-07-12)
      Vision is critical for guiding behavior in species throughout the animal kingdom. Nonhuman primates have long been classic models for vision, but over the last decade, rodents have emerged as highly promising alternatives. ...

    • Cellular Targets of Propranolol in Infantile Hemangioma 

      Lee, Daniel K (2014-02-25)
      Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a vascular neoplasm that affects 4-10 percent of infants. Propranolol, a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor (AR) antagonist, was serendipitously discovered to accelerate regression of IH ...

    • Cellular uptake mechanisms and endosomal trafficking of supercharged proteins 

      Thompson, David B.; Villaseñor, Roberto; Dorr, B; Zerial, Marino; Liu, David Ruchien (Elsevier BV, 2012)
      Supercharged proteins can deliver functional macromolecules into the cytoplasm of mammalian cells with potencies that exceed those of cationic peptides. The structural features of supercharged proteins that determine their ...

    • The Celtic Nations and the African Americas 

      Sollors, Werner (Informa UK Limited, 2010)

    • cem: Coarsened Exact Matching in Stata 

      Blackwell, Matthew; Iacus, Stefano; King, Gary; Porro, Giuseppe (StataCorp, 2010)
      This paper introduces a Stata implementation of Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM), a new method for improving the estimation of causal effects by reducing imbalance in co-variates between treated and control groups. CEM is ...

    • CEM: Software for Coarsened Exact Matching 

      Iacus, Stefano; King, Gary; Porro, Giuseppe (American Statistical Association, 2009)
      This program is designed to improve causal inference via a method of matching that is widely applicable in observational data and easy to understand and use (if you understand how to draw a histogram, you will understand ...

    • Cementing mussels to oysters in the pteriomorphian tree: a phylogenomic approach 

      Lemer, Sarah; González, Vanessa L.; Bieler, Rüdiger; Giribet, Gonzalo (The Royal Society, 2016)
      Mussels (Mytilida) are a group of bivalves with ancient origins and some of the most important commercial shellfish worldwide. Mytilida consists of approximately 400 species found in various littoral and deep-sea environments, ...

    • CEMP stars: possible hosts to carbon planets in the early Universe 

      Mashian, Natalie; Loeb, Abraham (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)
      We explore the possibility of planet formation in the carbon-rich protoplanetary disks of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, possible relics of the early Universe. The chemically anomalous abundance patterns ([C/Fe] ...

    • Censorship, A Comparative View: France, 1789-East Germany, 1989 

      Darnton, Robert (University of California Press, 1995)

    • Centennial-scale compound-specific hydrogen isotope record of Pleistocene–Holocene climate transition from southern New England 

      Hou, Juzhi; Huang, Yongsong; Oswald, William Wyatt; Foster, David Russell; Shuman, Bryan (Wiley-Blackwell, 2007)
      Northeastern North America experienced major climate shifts during the Pleistocene –Holocene transition. However, there have been no high-resolution isotopic records of climate change from this region. Here, we present a ...

    • Centering: A Framework for Modeling the Local Coherence of Discourse 

      Grosz, Barbara; Joshi, Aravind; Weinstein, Scott (Association for Computational Linguistics/MIT, 1995)
      This paper concerns relationships among focus of attention, choice of referring expression, and perceived coherence of utterances within a discourse segment. It presents a framework and initial theory of centering intended ...

    • Centering: A Framework for Modelling the Local Coherence of Discourse 

      Grosz, Barbara J.; Joshi, Aravind K.; Weinstein, Scott (1995)
      Our original paper (Grosz, Joshi, and Weinstein, 1983) on centering claimed that certain entities mentioned in an utterance were more central than others and that this property imposed constraints on a speaker's use of ...

    • Central Charge for \(AdS_2\) Quantum Gravity 

      Hartman, Thomas; Strominger, Andrew E. (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      Two-dimensional Maxwell-dilaton quantum gravity on \(AdS_2\) with radius \(\ell\) and a constant electric field \(E\) is studied. In conformal gauge, this is equivalent to a CFT on a strip. In order to maintain consistent ...

    • The Central Component of Gravitational Lens Q0957+561 

      Shapiro, Irwin; Haarsma, Deborah B.; Winn, Joshua N.; Lehar, Joseph (American Institute of Physics (IOP Publishing), 2008)
      In 1981, a faint radio source (G′) was detected near the center of the lensing galaxy of the famous “twin quasar” Q0957+561. It is still unknown whether this central radio source is a third quasar image or an active nucleus ...

    • Central Control Circuit for Context-Dependent Micturition
