Social Information Guides Infants' Selection of Foods

Shutts, Kristin; Kinzler, Katherine D.; McKee, Caitlin B.; Spelke, Elizabeth S. (Taylor and Francis, 2009)

Two experiments investigated the influence of socially conveyed emotions and speech on infants' choices among food. After watching films in which two unfamiliar actresses each spoke while eating a different kind of food, ...

Dynamics on Algebraic Surfaces

McMullen, Curtis T. (Max-Planck Institut, 2007)

23 GHz VLBI Observations of SN 2008ax

Marti-Vidal, I.; Alberdi, A.; Ros, E.; Shapiro, Irwin Ira; Beswick, R.J.; Pedlar, A.; Immler, S.; Panagia, N.; Van Dyk, S.; Marcaide, J. M.; Guirado, J. C.; Perrez-Torres, M. A.; Muxlow, T. W. B.; Argo, M. K.; Stockdale, C. J.; Sramek, R. A.; Weiler, K. W. (EDP Sciences, 2009)

We report on phase-referenced 23 GHz Very-Long-Baseline-Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the type IIb supernova SN 2008ax, made with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) on 2 April 2008 (33 days after explosion). These ...

A Decade of SN 1993J: Discovery of Radio Wavelength Effects in the Expansion Rate

Marcaide, J.M.; Marti-Vidal, I.; Alberdi, A.; Perrez-Torres, M.A.; Ros, E.; Diamond, P.J.; Guirado, J.C.; Lara, L.; Shapiro, Irwin Ira; Stockdale, C.J.; Weiler, K.W.; Mantovani, F.; Preston, R.A.; Schilizzi, R.T.; Sramek, R.A.; Trigilio, C.; Van Dyk, S.D.; Whitney, A.R. (EDP Sciences, 2009)

We studied the growth of the shell-like radio structure of supernova SN 1993J in M 81 from September 1993 to October 2003 with very-long-baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations at the wavelengths of 3.6, 6, and 18 cm. ...

New Directions in (Transnational) American Literature Studies

Buell, Lawrence (School of Foreign Studies, Nanjing University, 2009)

Never has there been a better moment for foreign scholars outside the English-speaking world to engage in American literature studies. American literature studies is increasingly studied worldwide and the contributions of ...

Two Forms of Spatial Imagery: Neuroimaging Evidence

Thompson, William L.; Slotnick, Scott D.; Burrage, Marie S.; Kosslyn, Stephen Michael (SAGE Publications, 2009)

Spatial imagery may be useful in such tasks as interpreting graphs and solving geometry problems, and even in performing surgery. This study provides evidence that spatial imagery is not a single faculty; rather, visualizing ...

Suppression of Zeeman Relaxation in Cold Collisions of \(^2P_{1/2}\) Atoms

Tscherbul, T.V.; Buchachenko, A.A.; Dalgarno, Alexander; Lu, M.-J.; Weinstein, J.D. (American Physical Society, 2009)

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of angular momentum depolarization in cold collisions of \(^2P\) atoms in the presence of an external magnetic field. We show that collision-induced Zeeman relaxation ...

Relativization That You Did

Szczegielniak, Adam (MIT Working Papers in Linguistics, 2005)

This work address the puzzle why VP ellipsis where the subject plus an auxiliary/modal/negation (non bare-VP ellipsis) is not possible in relatives derived via operator movement, whereas VP ellipsis where only the subject ...

Shape Operator Metric for Surface Normal Approximation

Cañas, Guillermo D.; Gortler, Steven J. (Springer Verlag, 2009)

This work deals with the problem of practical mesh generation for surface normal approximation. Part of its contribution is in presenting previous work in a uniﬁed framework. A new algorithm for surface normal approximation ...

Betting on the Real Line

Gao, Xi; Chen, Yiling; Pennock, David M. (Springer-Verlag, 2009)

We study the problem of designing prediction markets for random variables with continuous or countably infinite outcomes on the real line. Our interval betting languages allow traders to bet on any interval of their choice. ...
