    • A close call: does the location of incision at cesarean delivery matter in patients with vasa previa? A case report. 

      Neuhausser, Werner M; Baxi, Laxmi V (F1000Research, 2013)
      We present here a case of vasa previa in a multipara, diagnosed at the time of her late second trimester ultrasonogram. The patient subsequently underwent an elective cesarean section after 37 weeks gestation, giving birth ...

    • Closed String Tachyon Condensation at c =1 

      Karczmarek, Joanna L.; Strominger, Andrew (Springer Verlag, 2004)
      The c=1 matrix model, with or without a type 0 hat, has an exact quantum solution corresponding to closed string tachyon condensation along a null surface. The condensation occurs, and spacetime dissolves, at a finite ...

    • Closely overlapping responses to tools and hands in left lateral occipitotemporal cortex 

      Bracci, S.; Cavina-Pratesi, C.; Ietswaart, M.; Caramazza, Alfonso; Peelen, M. V. (American Physiological Society, 2011)
      The perception of object-directed actions performed by either hands or tools recruits regions in left fronto-parietal cortex. Here, using functional MRI (fMRI), we tested whether the common role of hands and tools in object ...

    • Closely related bird species demonstrate flexibility between beak morphology and underlying developmental programs

      The astonishing variation in the shape and size of bird beaks reflects a wide range of dietary specializations that played an important role in avian diversification. Among Darwin's finches, ground finches (Geospiza spp.) ...

    • Closest Conjunct Agreement in Head-Final Languages 

      Benmamoun, Elabbas; Bhatia, Archna; Polinsky, Maria (John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2009)

    • Closing in on Omega(M): The amplitude of mass fluctuations from galaxy clusters and the Ly alpha forest 

      Weinberg, D. H.; Croft, R. A. C.; Hernquist, L.; Katz, N.; Pettini, M. (American Astronomical Society, 1999)
      We estimate the present-day value of the matter density parameter Omega(M) by combining constraints from the galaxy cluster mass function with Croft et al.'s recent measurement of the mass power spectrum, P(k), from Ly ...

    • Cloud-resolving simulation of TOGA-COARE using parameterized large-scale dynamics 

      Wang, Shuguang; Sobel, Adam H.; Kuang, Zhiming (American Geophysical Union, 2013)
      Variations in deep convective activity during the 4month Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE) field campaign are simulated using a cloud-resolving model (CRM). Convection ...

    • Clouds of Things Need Information Flow Control with Hardware Roots of Trust 

      Pasquier, Thomas; Singh, Jatinder; Bacon, Jean (IEEE, 2015)
      There is a clear, outstanding need for new security mechanisms that allow data to be managed and controlled within the cloud-enabled Internet of Things. Towards this, we propose an approach based on Information Flow Control ...

    • CloudSense: Continuous Fine-Grain Cloud Monitoring with Compressive Sensing 

      Kung, H. T.; Lin, Chit-Kwan; Vlah, Dario (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011)
      Continuous fine-grain status monitoring of a cloud data center enables rapid response to anomalies, but handling the resulting torrent of data poses a significant challenge. As a solution, we propose CloudSense, a new ...

    • Cloudshine: New Light on Dark Clouds 

      Foster, Jonathan B.; Goodman, Alyssa A.; Foster, Jonathan; Goodman, Alyssa (American Astronomical Society, 2005)
      We present new deep near-infrared images of dark clouds in the Perseus molecular complex. These images show beautiful extended emission that we model as scattered ambient starlight and name "cloudshine." The brightness and ...

    • Cloudy with a Chance of Poaching: Adversary Behavior Modeling and Forecasting with Real-World Poaching Data 

      Kar, Debarun; Ford, Benjamin; Gholami, Shahrzad; Fang, Fei; Plumptre, Andrew; Tambe, Milind; Driciru, Margaret; Wanyama, Fred; Rwetsiba, Aggrey; Nsubaga, Mustapha; Mabonga, Joshua (ACM, 2017)
      Wildlife conservation organizations task rangers to deter and capture wildlife poachers. Since rangers are responsible for patrolling vast areas, adversary behavior modeling can help more effectively direct future patrols. ...

    • Clp-Mediated Regulation of the Mycobacterial Cell Cycle 

      Kester, Jemila Caplan (2017-04-12)
      Tuberculosis is currently the most deadly infectious disease worldwide. Given the high rates of treatment failure, new antibiotics are desperately needed. Antibacterial drugs typically target DNA replication, cell growth, ...

    • Clues to Quasar Broad-Line Region Geometry and Kinematics 

      Vestergaard, M.; Wilkes, Belinda Jane; Barthel, P. D. (IOP Publishing, 2000)
      We present evidence that the high-velocity C IV λ1549 emission-line gas of radio-loud quasars may originate in a disklike configuration, in close proximity to the accretion disk often assumed to emit the low-ionization ...

    • Clumped Isotope Measurements of Small Carbonate Samples Using a High-Efficiency Dual-Reservoir Technique 

      Petersen, Sierra Victoria; Schrag, Daniel P. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
      Rationale: The measurement of multiply substituted isotopologues of CO2 derived from carbonate has allowed the reconstruction of paleotemperatures from a single phase (CaCO3), circumventing uncertainty inherent in other ...

    • Cluster Algebras and Mirror Symmetry for Homogeneous Spaces 

      Wang, Charles (2023-05-09)
      Homogeneous spaces lie at the intersection of various fields of study, and as a result possess an incredibly rich structure. This thesis focuses in particular on the interactions between cluster algebras and mirror symmetry ...

    • Cluster-based outcome-dependent sampling: inference and frameworks for efficient sampling designs 

      Sauer, Sara (2021-07-12)
      Efficient sampling designs are valuable in public health research when finite resources necessitate decisions regarding which individuals to sample for detailed data collection. In observational studies, when the outcome ...

    • Clustered Wigner-crystal phases of cold polar molecules in arrays of one-dimensional tubes 

      Knap, Michael; Berg, Erez; Ganahl, Martin; Demler, Eugene (American Physical Society, 2012)
