Emissions of Nitrous Oxide and Methane in North America
(2015-05-13)Methane (CH_4) and nitrous oxide (N_2O) are the second- and third-most important long-lived greenhouse gas species after carbon dioxide (CO_2) in terms of radiative forcing. This thesis describes the magnitude, spatial ... -
Emotion Processing and its Relationship to Social Functioning in Schizophrenia Patients
(Elsevier, 2002)Schizophrenia patients have demonstrated deficits in affect recognition. Whether this deficit is part of a general difficulty in face perception or a specific problem in affect recognition is debatable. However, there is ... -
Emotion Recognition and Psychosis-Proneness: Neural and Behavioral Perspectives
(2012-09-14)Schizophrenia is associated with deficits in social cognition and emotion processing, but it is not known how these deficits relate to other domains of neurocognition and whether they might contribute to psychosis development. ... -
Emotion Regulation as the Foundation of Political Attitudes: Does Reappraisal Decrease Support for Conservative Policies?
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Cognitive scientists, behavior geneticists, and political scientists have identified several ways in which emotions influence political attitudes, and psychologists have shown that emotion regulation can have an important ... -

Emotional Intelligence is a Protective Factor for Suicidal Behavior
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2009)Objective: Little is known about what factors protect against the occurrence of suicide ideation and attempts. We tested whether emotional intelligence (EI)—the ability to perceive, integrate, understand, and manage one’s ... -
Emotions as infectious diseases in a large social network: the SISa model
(The Royal Society, 2010)Human populations are arranged in social networks that determine interactions and influence the spread of diseases, behaviours and ideas. We evaluate the spread of long-term emotional states across a social network. We ... -

Empirical Bayes Analysis of Quantitative Proteomics Experiments
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Background: Advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics have enabled the incorporation of proteomic data into systems approaches to biology. However, development of analytical methods has lagged behind. Here we describe ... -
An Empirical Calibration to Estimate Cool Dwarf Fundamental Parameters From H-Band Spectra
(IOP Publishing, 2015)Interferometric radius measurements provide a direct probe of the fundamental parameters of M dwarfs. However, interferometry is within reach for only a limited sample of nearby, bright stars. We use interferometrically ... -
Empirical constraints for the magnitude and composition of galactic winds

Empirical Constraints on Source Properties and Host Galaxies of Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts
(American Astronomical Society, 1995)We discuss several constraints on the properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at cosmological distances. First we use the requirement that burst sources must be optically thin to a test photon for the process gamma + gamma ... -
Empirical covariance modeling for 21 cm power spectrum estimation: A method demonstration and new limits from early Murchison Widefield Array 128-tile data
(American Physical Society, 2015)The separation of the faint cosmological background signal from bright astrophysical foregrounds remains one of the most daunting challenges of mapping the high-redshift intergalactic medium with the redshifted 21 cm line ... -
