Calibration of the Total Carbon Column Observing Network Using Aircraft Profile Data
(Copernicus GmbH, 2010)The Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) produces precise measurements of the column average dry-air mole fractions of \(CO_2\), \(CO\), \(CH_4\), \(N_2O\) and \(H_2O\) at a variety of sites worldwide. These ... -
Calibration Procedures for a Computational Model of Ductile Fracture
(Elsevier, 2010)A recent extension of the Gurson constitutive model of damage and failure of ductile structural alloys accounts for localization and crack formation under shearing as well as tension. When properly calibrated against a ... -
A call for collaborative interfaces
(Association for Computing Machinery, 1996)In this note, I call for a move towards viewing interfaces as means for people and computers to collaborate on solving problems rather than means for people to control computers. This collaborative perspective on user ... -

The Cambridge-Cambridge ROSAT Serendipity Survey - III. VLA observations and the evolution of radio-quiet and radio-loud objects
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1995)We present the results of the VLA radio observations at 1.475 GHz (20 cm) of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Cambridge-Cambridge ROSAT Serendipity Survey (CRSS), a sample of 123 faint X-ray sources with ... -
The Cambridge-Cambridge ROSAT Serendipity Survey -- IV. The X-ray properties
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1997)We present a detailed X-ray spectral analysis in the 0.1–2.4 keV ROSAT band of a complete sample of X-ray-selected AGN using the 80 AGNs in the Cambridge-Cambridge ROSAT Serendipity Survey (68 QSOs and 12 narrow-emission-line ... -
The Cambridge-Cambridge ROSAT Serendipity Survey -- V. Catalogue and optical identifications
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1997)We report the results of a medium-depth X-ray survey of 20 ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) fields. 123 X-ray sources were detected down to a flux limit of S(0.5–2 keV) > 2 × 10−14 erg s−1 cm−2 lying ... -
The Cambridge–Cambridge ROSAT Serendipity Survey – II. Classification of X-ray-luminous Galaxies
(Royal Astronomical Society, 1995)We present the results of an intermediate-resolution (1.5\AA) spectroscopic study of 17 X-ray luminous narrow emission-line galaxies previously identified in the Cambridge-Cambridge {\it ROSAT} Serendipity Survey and the ... -
Camera: a competitive gene set test accounting for inter-gene correlation
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Competitive gene set tests are commonly used in molecular pathway analysis to test for enrichment of a particular gene annotation category amongst the differential expression results from a microarray experiment. Existing ... -
Camflow: Managed Data-Sharing for Cloud Services
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)A model of cloud services is emerging whereby a few trusted providers manage the underlying hardware and communications whereas many companies build on this infrastructure to offer higher level, cloud-hosted PaaS services ... -
Camouflage and Display for Soft Machines
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2012)Synthetic systems cannot easily mimic the color-changing abilities of animals such as cephalopods. Soft machines—machines fabricated from soft polymers and flexible reinforcing sheets—are rapidly increasing in functionality. ... -
Can a 'state of the art' chemistry transport model simulate Amazonian tropospheric chemistry?
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)We present an evaluation of a nested high-resolution Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS)-Chem chemistry transport model simulation of tropospheric chemistry over tropical South America. The model has been constrained ... -
Can a Convective Cloud Feedback Help to Eliminate Winter Sea Ice at High CO2 Concentrations?
(American Meteorological Society, 2009)Winter sea ice dramatically cools the Arctic climate during the coldest months of the year and may have remote effects on global climate as well. Accurate forecasting of winter sea ice has significant social and economic ... -
Can Cassini Magnetic Field Measurements Be Used To Find The Rotation Period of Saturn’s Interior?
(Geophysical Research Letters, 2010)We investigate the determination of the rotation period of Saturn's interior using magnetic field measurements from Cassini. First, we vary the rotation period and search for the period that yields the smallest rms misfit ... -

Can Exchange Rates Forecast Commodity Prices?
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010)We show that "commodity currency" exchange rates have remarkably robust power in predicting global commodity prices, both in-sample and out-of-sample, and against a variety of alternative benchmarks. This result is of ... -
Can I Trust You? Negative Affective Priming Influences Social Judgments in Schizophrenia
(American Psychological Association, 2011)Successful social interactions rely on the ability to make accurate judgments based on social cues as well as the ability to control the influence of internal or external affective information on those judgments. Prior ... -
Can Mechanics Control Pattern Formation in Plants?
(Elsevier, 2007)Development of the plant body entails many pattern forming events at scales ranging from the cellular level to the whole plant. Recent evidence suggests that mechanical forces play a role in establishing some of these ... -
Can medial temporal lobe regions distinguish true from false? An event-related functional MRI study of veridical and illusory recognition memory
(National Academy of Sciences, 2001)To investigate the types of memory traces recovered by the medial temporal lobe (MTL), neural activity during veridical and illusory recognition was measured with the use of functional MRI (fMRI). Twelve healthy young ...
