The Green Bank Ammonia Survey: Observations of Hierarchical Dense Gas Structures in Cepheus-L1251
(American Astronomical Society, 2017)We use Green Bank Ammonia Survey observations of NH3 (1, 1) and (2, 2) emission with 32″ FWHM resolution from a ∼10 pc2 portion of the Cepheus-L1251 molecular cloud to identify hierarchical dense gas structures. Our ... -
A Green Bank Telescope Search for Water Masers in Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei
(IOP Publishing, 2004)Using the Green Bank Telescope, we have conducted a survey for 1.3 cm water maser emission toward the nuclei of nearby active galaxies, the most sensitive large survey for H2O masers to date. Among 145 galaxies observed, ... -
Greenness indices from digital cameras predict the timing and seasonal dynamics of canopy-scale photosynthesis
(Ecological Society of America, 2014)The proliferation of digital cameras co-located with eddy covariance instrumentation provides new opportunities to better understand the relationship between canopy phenology and the seasonality of canopy photosynthesis. ... -
Grey Matters: Political-Economic Analyses of Long-Term Care
(2018-08-08)This dissertation includes two quantitative studies on Medicaid long-term care (LTC) coverage in the United States, and one qualitative study that draws lessons from Germany’s LTC system for Canada. Chapter one is a political ... -
Griffiths effects and slow dynamics in nearly many-body localized systems
(American Physical Society, 2016)The low-frequency response of systems near a many-body localization transition can be dominated by rare regions that are locally critical or "in the other phase." It is known that in one dimension, these rare regions can ... -
GRMHD simulations of magnetized advection-dominated accretion on a non-spinning black hole: role of outflows
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012)We present results from two long-duration GRMHD simulations of advection-dominated accretion around a non-spinning black hole. The first simulation was designed to avoid significant accumulation of magnetic flux around the ... -
Grooving of a Grain Boundary by Evaporation–condensation below the Roughening Transition
(American Institute of Physics, 2005)The development of surface grooves at grain boundaries that intersect a planar surface is analyzed for the case that the evolution occurs below the thermodynamic roughening transition by evaporation–condensation processes. ... -
Gross-Pitaevskii Equation as the Mean Field Limit of Weakly Coupled Bosons
(Springer Nature, 2005)We consider the dynamics of N boson systems interacting through a pair potential N−1Va(xi−xj) where Va(x)=a−3V(x/a). We denote the solution to the N-particle Schrödinger equation by ΨN, t. Recall that the Gross-Pitaevskii ... -
Grossman-Hart (1986) Goes Global: Incomplete Contracts, Property Rights, and the International Organization of Production
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014)I survey the influence of Grossman and Hart's (1986) “The Costs and Benefits of Ownership: A Theory of Vertical and Lateral Integration,” 94 Journal of Political Economy 691–719.) seminal paper in the field of International ... -
Ground State of the Strong-Coupling Hubbard Hamiltonian: A Numerical Diagonalization Study
(American Physical Society, 1988)We exactly diagonalize the effective Hamiltonian obtained from the Hubbard model in the strong-coupling limit for a two-dimensional sqrt[10]×sqrt[10] size square lattice. The effective Hamiltonian operates on a restricted ... -
Grounded: Inference via Local Signals & Learned Representations by Organic & Artificial Systems
(2023-12-13)Before the brain was thought of as the seat of consciousness, it was believed to be a radiator to cool the humors that drove the body and mind. Before infant neurodevelopment was studied with electroencephalograms (EEGs) ... -
Grounding Community: On the Reception of Eckhartian Mysticism in Reformist and Revolutionary Texts From the Late Middle Ages to the Fin de Siècle.
(2023-11-21)This project examines how texts in the tradition of Meister Eckhart became productive in the conceptualization, imagination, and creation of new communities. It explores the influence of mystical thought on reformist, ... -

Group Cooperation without Group Selection: Modest Punishment Can Recruit Much Cooperation
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Humans everywhere cooperate in groups to achieve benefits not attainable by individuals. Individual effort is often not automatically tied to a proportionate share of group benefits. This decoupling allows for free-riding, ... -
Group Material and the 1980s: A Materialist Postmodernism
(2014-06-06)Group Material's seventeen-year collaboration began in New York in 1979 through the artists' shared interests in collective, politicized practices and their immersion in a localized network of countercultural activities. ... -
A group randomized controlled trail integrating obesity prevention and control for postpartum adolescents in a home visiting program
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Adolescence represents a critical period for the development of overweight that tracks into adulthood. This risk is significantly heightened for adolescents that become pregnant, many of whom experience postpartum ... -

The growing role of web-based geospatial technology in disaster response and support
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)This paper examines changes in disaster response and relief efforts and recent web-based geospatial technological developments through an evaluation of the experiences of the Center for Geographic Analysis, Harvard University, ... -
Growing Up Shuar: Life History Tradeoffs and Energy Allocation in the Context of Physical Growth Among an Indigenous Amazonian Population
(2016-05-16)Life history theory assumes that organisms allocate energetic resources (i.e., calories) to primary life functions such as maintenance, growth, reproduction, and physical activity in a manner that maximizes fitness. Under ... -
GrowRange: Anytime VCG-Based Mechanisms
(AAAI Press / MIT Press, 2004)We introduce anytime mechanisms for distributed optimization with self-interested agents. Anytime mechanisms retain good incentive properties even when interrupted before the optimal solution is computed, and provide better ...
