China and the Atlantic World: From John Cabot to the Age of Revolutions
(2021-09-28)Like modern-day Americans, Americans in the early modern period interacted with China extensively. They read books about China in libraries and purchased them from booksellers, they discussed both great things about the ... -
China in West Africa’s regional development and security plans
(Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2015)This article argues that we are presently in another global economic transition. The old centres of growth have witnessed serious economic reverses with several countries going into ‘receivership’ in the West – Greece, ... -
China Since Tiananmen: A New Rights Consciousness?
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009)Despite the brutal suppression of the Tiananmen Uprising of 1989, the frequency of popular protest in China has by all accounts escalated steadily over the ensuing two decades. These protests—increasingly articulated in a ... -
China's CO2 emissions estimated from the bottom up: Recent trends, spatial distributions, and quantification of uncertainties
(Elsevier BV, 2012)China’s emissions of anthropogenic CO2 are estimated using a bottom-up emission inventory framework based on a detailed categorization of economic sectors and provincial economic and energy data. It includes a newly compiled ... -
China's “Great Leap Forward” in Science and Engineering
(Elsevier, 2015)In the past two decades China leaped from bit player in global science and engineering (S&E) to become the world's largest source of S&E graduates and the second largest spender on R&D and second largest producer of ... -
China’s CO2 Peak Before 2030 Implied From Characteristics and Growth of Cities
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-29)China pledges to peak CO2 emissions by 2030 or sooner under the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 2 °C or less by the end of the century. By examining CO2 emissions from 50 Chinese cities over the period 2000–2016, ... -
China’s Dormant and Active Social Volcanoes
(2016-01)China's leaders often claim that the rising tide of mass protests in recent years is primarily driven by popular anger over the widening gap between rich and poor. However, in a series of national surveys that I helped ... -
China’s Post-Socialist Inequality

Chinese Conceptions of “Rights”: From Mencius to Mao—and Now
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)The recent explosion of popular protest in China, often framed as a demand for the fulfillment of “rights,” has captured widespread attention. Some observers interpret the protests as signs of a “moral vacuum.” Others see ... -
Chinese Conditionals and the Theory of Conditionals
(Springer Verlag, 2000)As is well known, in conditionals and, more generally, in structures involving adverbs of quantification, indefinite NPs like a cat display a variable quantificational force. Within DRT this phenomenon is analyzed by ... -
A Chip Architecture for Compressive Sensing Based Detection of IC Trojans
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2012)We present a chip architecture for a compressive sensing based method that can be used in conjunction with the JTAG standard to detect IC Trojans. The proposed architecture compresses chip output resulting from a large ... -
A ChIP-Mass Spectrometry Approach to Analysis of Dosage Compensation in Drosophila
(2013-03-11)Dosage compensation is a process that many multicellular organisms employ to equalize the expression of X-linked genes between males and females. In Drosophila melanogaster, it is achieved by a two-fold transcriptional ... -
CHIPS: The Cosmological HI Power Spectrum Estimator
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)Detection of the cosmological neutral hydrogen signal from the Epoch of Reionization, and estimation of its basic physical parameters, is the principal scientific aim of many current low-frequency radio telescopes. Here ... -
Chiral Dual-Hydrogen-Bond Donors Catalyze Highly Enantioselective Cyclization Reactions
(2022-01-18)In Chapter 1, we describe the development and mechanistic analysis of highly enantioselective bioinspired cyclization reactions of monoterpene derivatives catalyzed by chiral ureas. From a detailed series of mechanistic ... -
Chiral fermions, orbifolds, scalars, and fat branes
(American Physical Society (APS), 2001)We note that orbifold boundary conditions that produce chiral fermion zero modes in compactified higher dimensional theories may distort scalar field vacuum expectation values, giving rise to nontrivial dependence on the ... -
Chiral Gravity in Three Dimensions
(Springer, 2008)Three dimensional Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant \(-1/\ell^2\) deformed by a gravitational Chern-Simons action with coefficient \(1/\mu\) is studied in an asymptotically \(AdS_3\) spacetime. It is ... -
Chiral Gravity, Log Gravity, and Extremal CFT
(American Physical Society, 2010)We show that the linearization of all exact solutions of classical chiral gravity around the AdS3 vacuum have positive energy. Non-chiral and negative-energy solutions of the linearized equations are infrared divergent at ... -
Chiral Koszul Duality
(Springer, 2012)We extend the theory of chiral and factorization algebras, developed for curves by Beilinson and Drinfeld (American Mathematical Society Colloquium Publications, 51. American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2004), ... -
Chiral Liouville Gravity
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)Classical two-dimensional Liouville gravity is often considered in conformal gauge which has a residual left and right Virasoro symmetry algebra. We consider an alternate, chiral, gauge which has a residual right Virasoro ...
