Congestion Games with Distance-Based Strict Uncertainty
(Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2015)We put forward a new model of congestion games where agents have uncertainty over the routes used by other agents. We take a non-probabilistic approach, assuming that each agent knows that the number of agents using an ... -
Congressional Careers, Committee Assignments, and Seniority Randomization in the US House of Representatives
(Now Publishers, 2009)This paper estimates the effects of initial committee seniority on the career histories of Democratic members of the House of Representatives from 1949 to 2006. When more than one freshman representative is assigned to a ... -
Conjoining uncooperative societies facilitates evolution of cooperation
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07)Social structure affects the emergence and maintenance of cooperation. Here, we study the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation in fragmented societies, and show that conjoining segregated cooperation-inhibiting groups, if ... -
Conjugate Fabry–Perot Cavity Pair for Improved Astro-Comb Accuracy
(Optical Society of America, 2012)We propose a new astro-comb mode-filtering scheme composed of two Fabry–Perot cavities (coined “conjugate Fabry–Perot cavity pair”). Simulations indicate that this new filtering scheme makes the accuracy of astro-comb ... -
Conjuring the Masses: The Figure of the Crowd in Modern Chinese Literature and Visual Culture
(2012-10-22)This dissertation argues that the figure of the crowd in literature and visual culture constitutes a crucial component in the emergence and construction of the cultural, political, and historical values of modern China. ... -
Conjuring the Mysteries of Slavery: Voodoo, Fetishism, and Stereotype in Ishmael Reed’s Flight to Canada

Connected components of affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties in mixed characteristic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015)We determine the set of connected components of minuscule affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties for hyperspecial maximal compact subgroups of unramified connected reductive groups. Partial results are also obtained for non-minuscule ... -
Connecting Binuclear Pd(III) and Mononuclear Pd(IV) Chemistry by Pd–Pd Bond Cleavage
(American Chemical Society, 2012)Oxidation of binuclear Pd(II) complexes with PhICl\(_2\) or PhI(OAc)\(_2\) has previously been shown to afford binuclear Pd(III) complexes featuring a Pd–Pd bond. In contrast, oxidation of binuclear Pd(II) complexes with ... -
Connecting Both Sides of the “Admission Desk”: Contextual Data from High School Counselors and Factors Influencing Its Quality
(2023-05-08)In recent years, selective colleges have embraced the use of contextual data in their holistic assessments of undergraduate applicants. Background data about students’ school and home environments can enable admission ... -
Connecting high-field quantum oscillations to zero-field electron spectral functions in the underdoped cuprates
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)The nature of the pseudogap regime of cuprate superconductors at low hole density remains unresolved. It has a number of seemingly distinct experimental signatures: a suppression of the paramagnetic spin susceptibility at ... -
Connecting Libraries, Archives, and Museums
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2023-03-14)Over the last two decades, libraries and archives of natural history museums and botanical gardens in the US have spent major efforts to digitize their holdings. However, transporting these digitized resources from individual ... -
The Connection between Microphysical Morphology and Atmospheric Particle Phase Transitions
(2013-02-11)The phase of atmospheric particles can influence heterogeneous chemistry, cloud formation, and radiative forcing. Sulfate particles ranging from sulfuric acid to ammonium sulfate are the largest contributor arising from ... -
Connections between markets and learning
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2010)We provide an overview of recent research exploring the striking mathematical connections that exist between market maker mechanisms for prediction markets and no-regret learning. We describe how these connections can be ... -
Connectivity and computations in higher-order olfactory neurons in Drosophila
(2014-06-06)Understanding how odors are encoded in the brain is of fundamental importance to neurobiology. The first two stages of olfactory information processing have been relatively well studied in both vertebrates and invertebrates. ... -
Connectomes across development reveal principles of brain maturation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2020-04-30)From birth to adulthood, an animal’s nervous system changes as its body grows and its behaviours mature. The form and extent of circuit remodelling across the connectome is unknown. We used serial-section electron microscopy ... -
Conrad Gesner et La Publicité Un Humaniste au Carrefour Des Voies de Circulation du Savoir
Le polymathe Conrad Gessner a joué un rôle majeur dans la circulation du savoir de son temps, non seulement par ses nombreux ouvrages en bibliographie, philologie et histoire naturelle, mais aussi parce qu’il utilisait la ... -
Conrad Gessner's Paratexts
(Schwabe, 2016)Throughout his prolific publishing career Conrad Gessner composed abundant paratexts which offer valuable insight into his methods of working. Gessner wrote many dedications, only a minority of which were addressed to major ... -
Conscious Processing During Retrieval Can Occur in Early and Late Visual Regions
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Previous evidence has suggested a functional-anatomic dissociation between conscious and nonconscious processing during retrieval where early visual regions BA17/18 are associated with nonconscious processing and late ... -
Conscription as Regulation
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2005)We examine the practice of military conscription around the world from the perspective of two standard theories, and a new one, which emphasizes the fixed cost of introducing and administering the draft as a deterrent to ...
