An Improved Charged Particle Track Reconstruction Algorithm for the Micromegas Detectors of the New Small Wheel for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider
(2021-06-04)The forthcoming High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider upgrade brings potential for the discovery of new physics. However, the HL-LHC also brings new technological challenges as the Collider increases its luminosity beyond ... -
An Improved Measurement of the Electron Magnetic Moment
(2022-09-02)A single isolated electron in a Penning trap yields a new measurement of the electron magnetic moment g/2 = 1.001 159 652 180 59 (13). Combined with the Standard Model calculation, this yields an independent determination ... -
An injectable, spontaneously assembling biomaterial-based cancer vaccine platform
(2017-09-07)Cancer immunotherapy has the potential to provide a cure for many patients. Therapeutic cancer vaccination can stimulate the immune system to eradicate tumor cells while sparing normal tissues, and establish long-term ... -
An inordinate fondness for slugs: Phylogenomics of the diverse gastropod clade Heterobranchia, a group key to our understanding of the evolution of shell reduction and loss
(2022-03-17)Gastropods are exquisitely successful organisms, their shell undoubtedly playing a key role in their success. Despite being such an effective defense mechanism, the gastropod shell has been reduced, lost or internalized ... -
An integrated chemogenomic approach exploring and exploiting prolyl-tRNA synthetase as target for next-generation malaria and cancer therapies
(2022-11-23)Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and remains one of the world’s most pressing public health challenges with nearly half of the world’s population at risk, causing over 200 million cases and ... -
An Integrated Diamond Nanophotonics Platform for Quantum Optics
(2018-05-11)Efficient interfaces between optical photons and quantum bits are fundamental building blocks for quantum networks and large-scale quantum computers. We demonstrate an integrated platform for scalable quantum optics based ... -
An Internal Disulfide Locks a Misfolded Aggregation-prone Intermediate in Cataract-linked Mutants of Human γD-Crystallin
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2016)Considerable mechanistic insight has been gained into amyloid aggregation; however, a large number of non-amyloid protein aggregates are considered "amorphous," and in most cases, little is known about their mechanisms. ... -
An Interview with Paul Volcker

An Inverse Statistical Physics Method for Biological Sequence Analysis
(2021-05-13)Comparative sequence analysis is a robust tool for determining whether a new biological sequence of unknown function is evolutionarily related, or homologous, to pre-observed sequences or families of sequences. It is common ... -
An Investigation into the Peshitta of Isaiah
(2020-11-19)Through a careful study of P-Isaiah, specifically focusing on several important aspects of the translational text: the status of its Vorlage, its dependence on other ancient versions and books, notably the LXX and the NT ... -
An M-theory flop as a large N duality
(AIP Publishing, 2001)We show how a recently proposed large N duality in the context of type IIA strings with N=1 supersymmetry in 4 dimensions can be derived from purely geometric considerations by embedding type IIA strings in M-theory. The ... -
An Observational Determination of the Bolometric Quasar Luminosity Function
(American Astronomical Society, 2007) -
An Observed Fundamental Plane Relation for Supermassive Black Holes
(American Astronomical Society, 2007)We study observed correlations between super massive black hole (BHs) and the properties of their host galaxies and show that the observations define a BH ``fundamental plane'' (BHFP), of the form M-BH proportional to ... -
An Unconditional Study of Computational Zero Knowledge
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2006)We prove a number of general theorems about ZK, the class of problems possessing ( computational) zero-knowledge proofs. Our results are unconditional, in contrast to most previous works on ZK, which rely on the assumption ... -
An Update to the Boston EEG Automated Processing Pipeline Kalman Detrend Step and an Examination of Mu Suppression
(2017-07-14)When analyzing electroencephalography (EEG) data, noise must be removed from the observed signal in order to parse out the "true" EEG signal. The Kalman detrend step within the Boston EEG Automated Processing Pipeline ... -
An upper bound on the total inelastic cross section as a function of the total cross section
(American Physical Society, 2011)Recently, Andre Martin has proved a rigorous upper bound on the inelastic cross section sigma(inel) at high energy, which is one-fourth of the known Froissart-Martin-Lukaszuk upper bound on sigma(tot). Here, we obtain an ... -
An Upper Limit on the Reflected Light from the Planet Orbiting the Star τ Bootis
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)The planet orbiting tau Boo at a separation of 0.046 AU could produce a reflected light flux as bright as 1 x 10(-4) relative to that of the star. A spectrum of the system will contain a reflected light component which ... -
An Upper Limit to the Degree of Evolution between Supermassive Black Holes and Their Host Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)We describe a model-independent integral constraint that defines an upper limit to the allowed degree of evolution in the ratio of black hole (BH) mass to host galaxy luminosity or mass, as a function of redshift. Essentially, ... -
An X‐Ray Variable Millisecond Pulsar in the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae: Closing the Link to Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binaries
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)We report the discovery of peculiar X-ray spectral variability in the binary radio millisecond pulsar PSR J0024 - 7204W in the globular cluster 47 Tuc. The observed emission consists of a dominant nonthermal component, ...
