Facet-Selective Growth on Nanowires Yields Multi-Component Nanostructures and Photonic Devices
(American Chemical Society, 2013)Enhanced synthetic control of the morphology, crystal structure, and composition of nanostructures can drive advances in nanoscale devices. Axial and radial semiconductor nanowires are examples of nanostructures with one ... -
‘Face’ and the embodiment of stigma in China: The cases of schizophrenia and AIDS
(Elsevier BV, 2008)The majority of theoretical models have defined stigma as occurring psychologically and limit its negative effects to individual processes. This paper, via an analysis of how 'face' is embodied in China, deepens an ... -
Facilitating the participation of civil society in regional planning: Implementing quadruple helix model in Finnish regions
(Elsevier BV, 2022-01)The engagement of a wide range of stakeholders has become a key element in regional planning, particularly in the development of regional research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3) in Europe. The ... -
Facilitation stabilizes moisture-controlled alpine juniper shrublines in the central Tibetan Plateau
(Elsevier BV, 2015)The Tibetan Plateau hosts one of the world's highest undisturbed alpine juniper shrublines. However, little is known about the dynamics of these shrublines in response to climate warming and shrub-to-shrub interactions. ... -

A factor analysis approach to examining relationships among ovarian steroid concentrations, gonadotrophin concentrations and menstrual cycle length characteristics in healthy, cycling women
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)STUDY QUESTION: How are ovarian steroid concentrations, gonadotrophins and menstrual cycle characteristics inter-related within normal menstrual cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: Within cycles, measures of estradiol production ... -
Factor Prices and Productivity Growth During the British Industrial Revolution
(Elsevier, 2003)This paper presents new estimates of total factor productivity growth in Britain for the period 1770–1860. We use the dual technique and argue that the estimates we derive from factor prices are of similar quality to ... -
Factored Reasoning for Monitoring Dynamic Team and Goal Formation

Factored Sampling For Efficient Tracking of Large Hybrid Systems
(2005)This work presents a new approach to monitoring large dynamic systems. The approach is based on factored particles, which adapts particle filtering by factoring the system into weakly interacting subsystems and maintaining ... -
Factored Time-Lapse Video
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007)We describe a method for converting time-lapse photography captured with outdoor cameras into Factored Time-Lapse Video (FTLV): a video in which time appears to move faster (i.e., lapsing) and where data at each pixel has ... -
Factorization for groomed jet substructure beyond the next-to-leading logarithm
(Springer Nature, 2016)Jet grooming algorithms are widely used in experimental analyses at hadron colliders to remove contaminating radiation from within jets. While the algorithms perform a great service to the experiments, their intricate ... -
Factorized Point Process Intensities: A Spatial Analysis of Professional Basketball
(Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2014)We develop a machine learning approach to represent and analyze the underlying spatial structure that governs shot selection among professional basketball players in the NBA. Typically, NBA players are discussed and compared ... -
Factors Affecting ENSO’s Period
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)Accurately capturing the observed mean period of ENSO in general circulation models (GCMs) is often challenging, and it is therefore useful to understand which parameters and processes affect this period. A computationally ... -
Factors Considered Important at the End of Life by Patients, Family, Physicians, and Other Care Providers
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2000)Context A clear understanding of what patients, families, and health care practitioners view as important at the end of life is integral to the success of improving care of dying patients. Empirical evidence defining such ... -
Factors Driving Mercury Variability in the Arctic Atmosphere and Ocean over the Past 30 Years
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)[1] Long-term observations at Arctic sites (Alert and Zeppelin) show large interannual variability (IAV) in atmospheric mercury (Hg), implying a strong sensitivity of Hg to environmental factors and potentially to climate ... -

Factors regulating ozone over the United States and its export to the global atmosphere
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1993)The factors regulating summertime O over the United States and its export to the global atmosphere are examined with a 3‐month simulation using a continental scale, three‐dimensional photochemical model. It is found that ... -
Factors that distinguish college students with depressive symptoms with and without suicidal thoughts
(Springer, 2013)BACKGROUND Suicide among college students is a significant public health concern. Although suicidality is linked to depression, not all depressed college students experience suicidal ideation (SI). The primary aim of ... -
Facultative Mimicry ? The Evolutionary Significance of Seasonal Forms in Several Indo-Australian Butterflies in the Family Pierid
(2010)Several Asian pierid butterflies exhibit a pattern of phenotypic plasticity whereby the wing surfaces are more melanized in the wet season than in the dry season. The wet season in the Indo-Australian regions where these ... -
The Faculty of Language: What’s Special About It?
(Elsevier, 2005)We examine the question of which aspects of language are uniquely human and uniquely linguistic in light of recent suggestions by Hauser, Chomsky, and Fitch that the only such aspect is syntactic recursion, the rest of ...
