Real-time vibrations of a carbon nanotube
(Springer Nature, 2019-01-21)The field of miniature mechanical oscillators is rapidly evolving, with emerging applications including signal processing, biological detection and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. As the dimensions of a mechanical ... -
A Real-Time Volume Rendering Architecture Using an Adaptive Resampling Scheme for Parallel and Perspective Projections
(Association for Computing Machinery, 1998)This paper describes an object-order real-time volume rendering architecture using an adaptive resampling scheme to perform resampling operations in a unified parallel-pipeline manner for both parallel and perspective ... -
Real-time, local basis-set implementation of time-dependent density functional theory for excited state dynamics simulations
(AIP Publishing, 2008)We present a method suitable for large-scale accurate simulations of excited state dynamics within the framework of time-dependent density functional theory (DFT). This is achieved by employing a local atomic basis-set ... -
Real-World Objects Are Not Represented as Bound Units: Independent Forgetting of Different Object Details from Visual Memory
(American Psychological Association, 2013-05-20)Are real-world objects represented as bound units? Although a great deal of research has examined binding between the feature dimensions of simple shapes, little work has examined whether the featural properties of real-world ... -
Realism and Constructivism in Twentieth Century Moral Philosophy
(Oxford University Press, 2008)This chapter traces the development of one of the central debates of late 20th-century moral philosophy — the debate between realism and what Rawls called “constructivism.” It argues that realism is a reactive position ... -
A Realizability Model for Impredicative Hoare Type Theory
(Springer Verlag, 2008)We present a denotational model of impredicative Hoare Type Theory, a very expressive dependent type theory in which one can specify and reason about mutable abstract data types. The model ensures soundness of the extension ... -
Realization of Coherent Optically Dense Media via Buffer-Gas Cooling
(American Physical Society, 2009)We demonstrate that buffer-gas cooling combined with laser ablation can be used to create coherent optical media with high optical depth and low Doppler broadening that offers metastable states with low collisional and ... -
Realizing a Kondo-Correlated State with Ultracold Atoms
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We propose a novel realization of Kondo physics with ultracold atomic gases. It is based on a Fermi sea of two different hyperfine states of one atom species forming bound states with a different species, which is spatially ... -
Realizing Fractional Chern Insulators in Dipolar Spin Systems
(American Physical Society, 2013)Strongly correlated quantum systems can exhibit exotic behavior controlled by topology. We predict that the ν=1/2 fractional Chern insulator arises naturally in a two-dimensional array of driven, dipolar-interacting spins. ... -
Realizing the Rainbow Nation: Negotiating Race, Intimacy, and Belonging in South Africa
(2022-06-06)This dissertation examines how racial categories, boundaries, and identities were constructed and reproduced through the fierce regulation of sexuality and intimacy over the longue durée of the colonial encounter in South ... -
Realm of Shadows and Dreams: Theatrical and Fictional Lyricism in Early Qing Literature
(2014-06-06)Early twentieth-century Chinese literary critics create a model of literary development that highlights leading genres for each dynasty. For the Ming and the Qing dynasties, these are drama and fiction. This model relegates ... -
Reanalysis in Adult Heritage Language: A Case for Attrition.
(Cambridge University Press, 2011)This study presents and analyzes the comprehension of relative clauses in child and adult speakers of Russian, comparing monolingual controls with Russian heritage speakers (HSs) who are English-dominant. Monolingual and ... -
Reappraisal of the systematics of Microglanis cottoides (Siluriformes, Pseudopimelodidae), a catfish from southern Brazil
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018-07-05) -
A Reason for Quantity Regulation
(American Economic Association, 2001)Contrary to the standard economic advice, many regulations of financial intermediaries, as well as other regulations such as blue laws, fishing rules, zoning restrictions, or pollution controls, take the form of quantity ... -
Reason in the Roasting of Eggs

Reason, Dissent, and Ecumenism in Nineteenth-Century Iran: The Life and Thought of “Shaykh” Hadi Najmabadi
(2023-05-16)This dissertation investigates the life and thought of Hādi Najmābādī (1250–1320/1834-1835–1902), a largely neglected Iranian, Twelver Shīʿī jurist (mujtahid) of the top religious scholarly rank who was philosophically ... -
Reason, Reflection, and Moral Change
(2014-10-21)Recent work in moral psychology emphasizes the role of immediate intuitive responses in shaping moral judgments, while at the same time questioning the causal role of more reflective reasoning processes. On this account ... -
Reasoning about ‘irrational’ actions: When intentional movements cannot be explained, the movements themselves are seen as the goal
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Infants and adults are thought to infer the goals of observed actions by calculating the actions’ efficiency as a means to particular external effects, like teaching an object or location. However, many intentional actions ... -
Reasoning effectively under uncertainty for human-computer teamwork
(2014-08-01)As people are increasingly connected to other people and computer agents, forming mixed networks, collaborative teamwork offers great promise for transforming the way people perform their everyday activities and interact ... -
