Salutati, Plato and Socrates
(Edizioni di Storia e letteratura, 2010)Coluccio Salutati (1331-1406) was not a Platonist and was in fact deeply concerned about Plato's compatibility with Christian teaching. He contributed to the revival of Platonic studies in Renaissance Italy primarily because ... -
The SAM, Not the Electrodes, Dominates Charge Transport in Metal-Monolayer//Ga2O3/Gallium–Indium Eutectic Junctions
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)The liquid–metal eutectic of gallium and indium (EGaIn) is a useful electrode for making soft electrical contacts to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). This electrode has, however, one feature whose effect on charge transport ... -
Same, different and other as comparative adjectives – A uniform analysis based on French
(Elsevier BV, 2015)The goal of this article is to provide a uniform and non-specific analysis for all constructions involving terms expressing similarity and difference (sidi terms) such as same, different or other in French. Beyond theoretical ... -
Sameness, novelty, and nominal kinds
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2014)Organisms and their genomes are mosaics of features of different evolutionary age. Older features are maintained by ‘negative’ election and comprise part of the selective environment that has shaped the evolution of newer ... -
Sample-efficient learning of quantum many-body systems
(IEEE, 2020-11)We study the problem of learning the Hamiltonian of a quantum many-body system given samples from its Gibbs (thermal) state. The classical analog of this problem, known as learning graphical models or Boltzmann machines, ... -
Sanctioning Faith: Religion, Politics, and U.S.-Cuban Relations
(University of Virginia, 2009)Fidel Castro's government actively suppressed religious life in Cuba for decades. Yet in recent years Cuba has experienced a dramatic flourishing of religious life. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cuban government ... -
Sarah and Constant Broyer, Pharmacist and Physician, of Carlton
(Royal Historical Society of Victoria, 2012)Constant Broyer (1833–1911) trained as a herbalist in Victoria during the 1850s and practised as a medical botanist in Carlton in the 1860s. He obtained medical degrees from the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati (1875) ... -
Satellite Analysis of the Environmental Impacts of Armed-Conflict in Rakhine, Myanmar
(Elsevier BV, 2021-08)The impacts of armed conflict on the environment are extremely complex and difficult to investigate, given the impossibility of accessing the affected area and reliable data limitation. Very-high-resolution satellite ... -
Satellite isoprene retrievals constrain emissions and atmospheric oxidation
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-09)Isoprene is the dominant non-methane organic compound emitted to the atmosphere. It drives ozone and aerosol production, modulates atmospheric oxidation, and interacts with the global nitrogen cycle. Isoprene emissions are ... -
Satellite mapping of rain-induced nitric oxide emissions from soils
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004)We use space-based observations of NO2 columns from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) to map the spatial and seasonal variations of NOx emissions over Africa during 2000. The GOME observations show not only ... -
Satellite observations of atmospheric methane and their value for quantifying methane emissions
(European Geosciences Union, 2016)Methane is a greenhouse gas emitted by a range of natural and anthropogenic sources. Atmospheric methane has been measured continuously from space since 2003, and new instruments are planned for launch in the near future ... -
Satellite observations of formaldehyde over North America from GOME
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2000)Formaldehyde (HCHO) is an important indicator of tropospheric hydrocarbon emissions and photochemical activity. We present HCHO observations over North America for July 1996 from the GOME instrument on-board the ESA ERS-2 ... -
A Satellite-based Biosphere Parameterization for Net Ecosystem CO2 Exchange: Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM)
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)We present the Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM), a satellite-based assimilation scheme that estimates hourly values of Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) of CO2 for 12 North American biomes using the Enhanced ... -

Saussure’s Law, the nom. pl. in ‑ai, and the treatment of acute diphthongs in final syllables in Lithuanian
(Vilnius University Press, 2017)This paper addresses the relationship of the Lith. nom. pl. endings ‑ai (‑aĩ) and ‑i, ‑ie (‑ì, ‑ìe) to each other and to their common source, the PIE pronominal nom. pl. in *‑oi. It is argued that the Proto-BSl. preform ... -

The Savings of Ordinary Americans: The Philadelphia Saving Fund Society in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
(Cambridge University Press, 1994)We explore the savings behavior of ordinary Americans through their accounts at the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society, the oldest mutual savings bank in the United States. Our sample contains all 2,374 accounts opened in ... -
Scalable and Interactive Segmentation and Visualization of Neural Processes in EM Datasets
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-11)Recent advances in scanning technology provide high resolution EM (Electron Microscopy) datasets that allow neuroscientists to reconstruct complex neural connections in a nervous system. However, due to the enormous size ...
