Analytical Results for Individual and Group Selection of Any Intensity
(Springer Verlag, 2008)The idea of evolutionary game theory is to relate the payoff of a game to reproductive success (= fitness). An underlying assumption in most models is that fitness is a linear function of the payoff. For stochastic ... -
Analytical results on Seiberg-Witten equations on homology S¹ × S³
(2022-04-28)This thesis studies the Seiberg-Witten equation on a periodic 4-manifold obtained from a homology S¹ × S³. The first chapter is a brief introduction of the topic. The second chapter reviews basic preliminaries on Seiberg-Witten ... -
Analyzing and Evaluating Post hoc Explanation Methods for Black Box Machine Learning
(2022-05-23)Over the past decade, complex tools such as deep learning models have been increasingly employed in high-stakes domains such as healthcare and criminal justice. Furthermore, these models achieve state-of-the-art accuracy ... -
Analyzing Carbon Price Policies Using a General Equilibrium Model With Household Energy Demand Functions
(Elsevier, 2020)Multi-sector general equilibrium models are used to simulate the effects of environmental policies on industry output and consumption at disaggregated levels. The specification of household demand in such models often use ... -
Analyzing Easy Data Augmentation Techniques for Text Classification
(2021-06-04)In natural language processing, text classification is the task of assigning a category to a given text example. Text classification has a variety of applications ranging from automated processing of customer reviews to ... -
Analyzing Forensic Evidence Based on Density with Magnetic Levitation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)This paper describes a method for determining the density of contact trace objects with magnetic levitation (MagLev). MagLev measurements accurately determine the density (±0.0002 g/cm3) of a diamagnetic object and are ... -
Analyzing networks of phenotypes in complex diseases: methodology and applications in COPD
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: The investigation of complex disease heterogeneity has been challenging. Here, we introduce a network-based approach, using partial correlations, that analyzes the relationships among multiple disease-related ... -
Analyzing Second Stage Ecological Regressions: Comment on Herron and Shotts
(Oxford University Press, 2003) -
Analyzing The Evolution and Diversification of Lepidoptera Using Multi-Spectral Images
(2023-06-01)Insects comprise an estimated 60% of all described species, and butterflies are among the best known of all insect taxa. The order Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) contains approximately 160,000 species in 126 families. ... -
Analyzing the multidimensionality of aging by using machine learning to predict age from diverse medical datasets
(2021-05-12)The world population is aging, leading to a rise in the prevalence of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In parallel to treating the diseases, an attractive idea is to address the problem at ... -
Anaphor Binding: What French Inanimate Anaphors Show
(MIT Press - Journals, 2016)Owing to different ideas about what counts as an anaphor subject to Condition A, two influential but superficially incompatible versions of Condition A of binding theory have coexisted: Chomsky’s (1986) version, and versions ... -
Anaphoric dependencies in ellipsis

Anatomic and Molecular Development of Corticostriatal Projection Neurons in Mice
(Oxford University Press, 2013-03-18)Corticostriatal projection neurons (CStrPN) project from the neocortex to ipsilateral and contralateral striata to control and coordinate motor programs and movement. They are clinically important as the predominant cortical ... -
An Anatomical and Biomechanical Study of the Human Iliotibial Band's Role in Elastic Energy Storage
(2014-06-06)The iliotibial band (ITB) is a complex structure that is unique to humans among apes and is derived from the fascia lata (FL) of the thigh. Although the ITB evolved in the hominin lineage, it is unclear whether it evolved ... -
Anatomical and Ecological Constraints on Phanerozoic Animal Diversity in the Marine Realm
(National Academy of Sciences, 2002)We grouped the fossil records of marine animal genera into suites defined by function and physiology, The stratigraphic coherence of the resulting diversity history indicates the importance of ecological structure in ... -
An Anatomical and Functional Dissection of the Role Pet1 Raphe Neurons Play in Neonatal Cardiorespiratory Homeostasis
(2016-08-26)Life-sustaining cardiorespiratory homeostasis requires the dynamic response of brainstem neural circuits. Apneas - the cessation of breathing often accompanied by bradycardia - can reflect defects in these circuits, and ... -
Anatomical Constraints on Attention: Hemifield Independence Is a Signature of Multifocal Spatial Selection
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2012)Previous studies have shown independent attentional selection of targets in the left and right visual hemifields during attentional tracking (Alvarez & Cavanagh, 2005) but not during a visual search (Luck, Hillyard, Mangun, ... -
An Anatomical Description of a Miniaturized Acorn Worm (Hemichordata, Enteropneusta) with Asexual Reproduction by Paratomy
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The interstitial environment of marine sandy bottoms is a nutrient-rich, sheltered habitat whilst at the same time also often a turbulent, space-limited, and ecologically challenging environment dominated by meiofauna. The ... -
Anatomically modern Carboniferous harvestmen demonstrate early cladogenesis and stasis in Opiliones
(Springer Nature, 2011)Harvestmen, the third most-diverse arachnid order, are an ancient group found on all continental landmasses, except Antarctica. However, a terrestrial mode of life and leathery, poorly mineralized exoskeleton makes ... -
Anatomy of "Decadence"
(2016-05-19)Examining the perception of literary decline in Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Persian, this study unearths an enduring taboo, one little changed by place and time, against verbal creation too readily sacrificing “nature” and ...
