Analysis and Synthesis in Olfaction
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Natural environments contain numerous volatile compounds emanating from a large number of sources, and the survival of many animals depends on their ability to segregate odors of interest within complex odorous scenes. In ... -
Analysis of 14 BAC Sequences from the Aedes Aegypti Genome: A Benchmark for Genome Annotation and Assembly
(BioMed Central, 2007)In order to provide a set of manually curated and annotated sequences from the Aedes aegypti genome, mapped BAC clones encompassing 1.57 Mb were sequenced, assembled and manually annotated using computational gene-finding, ... -
Analysis of a Mouse Skin Model of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant tumor suppressor gene syndrome in which patients develop several types of tumors, including facial angiofibroma, subungual fibroma, Shagreen patch, angiomyolipomas, ... -
Analysis of Abrupt Transitions in Ecological Systems
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)The occurrence and causes of abrupt transitions, thresholds, or regime shifts between ecosystem states are of great concern and the likelihood of such transitions is increasing for many ecological systems. General understanding ... -
Analysis of Atmospheric Energy Transport in ERA40 and Implications for Simple Models of the Mean Tropical Circulation
(American Meterological Society, 2008)An analysis of atmospheric energy transport in 22 years (1980-2001) of the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) is presented. In the analyzed budgets, there is a large cancellation between divergences of dry static and latent ... -
Analysis of Bidding Networks in eBay: Aggregate Preference Identification through Community Detection
(American Association for Artificial Intelligence, 2007)Statistical analysis of networks plays a critical role in the context of economics and the social sciences. Here we construct a bidding network to represent the behavior of users of the eBay marketplace. We study the eBay ... -
An Analysis of Costs and Health Co-Benefits for a U.S. Power Plant Carbon Standard
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants can have important “co-benefits” for public health by reducing emissions of air pollutants. Here, we examine the costs and health co-benefits, in monetary terms, ... -
Analysis of events with b-jets and a pair of leptons of the same charge in pp collisions at s = 8 $$ \sqrt{s}=8 $$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-10) -
Analysis of Glycan Polymers Produced by Peptidoglycan Glycosyltransferases
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007)Bacterial cells are surrounded by a cross-linked polymer called peptidoglycan, the integrity of which is necessary for cell survival. The carbohydrate chains that form the backbone of peptidoglycan are made by peptidoglycan ... -
Analysis of Human Faces Using a Measurement-Based Skin Reflectance Model
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2006)We have measured 3D face geometry, skin reflectance, and subsurface scattering using custom-built devices for 149 subjects of varying age, gender, and race. We developed a novel skin reflectance model whose parameters can ... -
Analysis of Inorganic Polyphosphates by Capillary Gel Electrophoresis
(American Chemical Society, 2010)This paper describes the development of a method that uses capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) to analyze mixtures of inorganic polyphosphate ((P\(_i\))\(_n\)). Resolution of (P\(_i\))\(_n\) on the basis of n, the number ... -
Analysis of rapidly synthesized guest-filled porous complexes with synchrotron radiation: practical guidelines for the crystalline sponge method
(International Union of Crystallography, 2015)A detailed set of synthetic and crystallographic guidelines for the crystalline sponge method based upon the analysis of expediently synthesized crystal sponges using third-generation synchrotron radiation are reported. ... -
Analysis of Scanned Probe Images for Magnetic Focusing in Graphene
(Springer Nature, 2017)We have used cooled scanning probe microscopy (SPM) to study electron motion in nanoscale devices. The charged tip of the microscope was raster-scanned at constant height above the surface as the conductance of the device ... -
Analysis of Some PDEs over Manifolds
(2013-02-14)In this dissertation I discuss and investigate the analytic aspect of several elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations arising from Rimannian and complex geometry, including the generalized Ricci flow, Gaussian ... -
Analysis of the Effects of Five Factors Relevant to In Vitro Chondrogenesis of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Using Factorial Design and High Throughput mRNA-Profiling
(Public Library of Science, 2014)The in vitro process of chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells for tissue engineering has been shown to require three-dimensional culture along with the addition of differentiation factors to the culture ... -

Analysis of the seasonal relationship between antibiotic use and resistance
(2023-01-09)Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health concern that threatens our ability to treat infectious diseases caused by bacterial pathogens. Antibiotic use is a major driver of resistance, and understanding how the ... -
Analysis of the Wtb vertex from the measurement of triple-differential angular decay rates of single top quarks produced in the t-channel at s√ = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
The electroweak production and subsequent decay of single top quarks in the t-channel is determined by the properties of the Wtb vertex, which can be described by the complex parameters of an effective Lagrangian. An ... -
