Early Modern Floral: The Agency of Ornament in Ottoman and Safavid Visual Cultures
(Princeton University Press, 2016) -
An Early Modernist’s Perspective
(University of Chicago Press, 2004)Historians of science can gain new insights into the material practices and intellectual trajectories of natural philosophers by attending to evidence of what they read and how. From the time of the early modern period we ... -
Early Neoproterozoic Basin Formation in Yukon, Canada: Implications for the Make-Up and Break-Up of Rodinia
(Geological Association of Canada, 2012)Geological mapping and stratigraphic anaylsis of the early Neoproterozoic Fifteenmile Group in the western Ogilvie Mountains of Yukon, Canada, has revealed large lateral facies changes in both carbonate and siliciclastic ... -
Early Neoproterozoic scale microfossils in the Lower Tindir Group of Alaska and the Yukon Territory
(Geological Society of America, 2010)The Tindir Group is a <4-km-thick Neoproterozoic succession exposed in the Tatonduk inlier of east-central Alaska and the western Yukon Territory. The Tindir Group is informally divided into the Lower Tindir Group, which ... -
Early Onset Alcohol Use and Self-Harm: A Discordant Twin Analysis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Background Self-harm has considerable societal and economic costs and has been extensively studied in relation to alcohol involvement. Whereas early onset alcohol use (EAU) has been causally linked to maladaptive clinical ... -
Early Pleistocene Glacial Cycles and the Integrated Summer Insolation Forcing
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2006)Long-term variations in Northern Hemisphere summer insolation are generally thought to control glaciation. But the intensity of summer insolation is primarily controlled by 20,000-year cycles in the precession of the ... -
Early Social Cognition in Three Cultural Contexts
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)The influence of culture on cognitive development is well established for school age and older children. But almost nothing is known about how different parenting and socialization practices in different cultures affect ... -
Early Urban Development in the Near East
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2007) -
Early Warning Signals of Ecological Transitions: Methods for Spatial Patterns
(Public Library of Science, 2014)A number of ecosystems can exhibit abrupt shifts between alternative stable states. Because of their important ecological and economic consequences, recent research has focused on devising early warning signals for ... -
Early-Life Malaria Exposure and Adult Outcomes: Evidence from Malaria Eradication in India
(American Economic Association, 2010)We examine the effects of exposure to malaria in early childhood on educational attainment and economic status in adulthood by exploiting geographic variation in malaria prevalence in India prior to a nationwide eradication ... -
Early-Type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I. The Sample
(2003)A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using morphological and spectral criteria. This paper describes how the sample was ... -
Early-type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. II. Correlations between Observables
(IOP Publishing, 2003)A magnitude-limited sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample was used to study ... -
Early-Type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. III. The Fundamental Plane
(IOP Publishing, 2003)A magnitude-limited sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies in the redshift range 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.3 was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using morphological and spectral criteria. The fundamental plane ... -
Early-Type Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. IV. Colors and Chemical Evolution
(IOP Publishing, 2003)The colors and chemical abundances of early-type galaxies at redshifts z < 0.3 are studied using a sample of nearly 9000 galaxies, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. In ... -
Earth rotation changes since ?500 CE driven by ice mass variations
(Elsevier BV, 2016)We predict the perturbation to the Earth's length-of-day (LOD) over the Common Era using a recently derived estimate of global sea-level change for this time period. We use this estimate to derive a time series of “clock ... -
Earth-abundant water-splitting catalysts coupled to silicon solar cells for solar-to-fuels conversion
(2014-10-21)Direct solar-to-fuels conversion can be achieved by coupling semiconductors with water-splitting catalysts. A 10% or higher solar to fuels conversion is minimally necessary for the realization of a robust future technology. ... -
An Earth-sized planet with an Earth-like density
(Springer Nature, 2013)Recent analyses1–4 of data from the NASA Kepler spacecraft5 have established that planets with radii within 25 per cent of Earth’s (R⊕) are commonplace throughout the Galaxy, orbiting at least 16.5 per cent of Sun-like ... -
Earthquake Characteristics as Imaged by the Back-Projection Method
(2013-02-15)This dissertation explores the capability of dense seismic array data for imaging the rupture properties of earthquake sources using a method known as back-projection. Only within the past 10 or 15 years has implementation ... -
Earthquake Cycle Deformation in the Tibetan Plateau with a Weak Mid-Crustal Layer
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)Geodetic observations of interseismic deformation across the Tibetan plateau contain information about both tectonic and earthquake cycle processes. Time-variations in surface velocities between large earthquakes are ... -
Earthquake Ruptures with Thermal Weakening and the Operation of Major Faults at Low Overall Stress Levels
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)We model ruptures on faults that weaken in response to flash heating of microscopic asperity contacts (within a rate-and-state framework) and thermal pressurization of pore fluid. These are arguably the primary weakening ...
