    • Central Dogma at the Single-Molecule Level in Living Cells 

      Li, Gene-Wei; Xie, Xiaoliang Sunney (Nature Publishing Group, 2011)
      Gene expression originates from individual DNA molecules within living cells. Like many single-molecule processes, gene expression and regulation are stochastic, that is, sporadic in time. This leads to heterogeneity in ...
    • The Central Role of the Propensity Score in Observational Studies for Causal Effects 

      Rosenbaum, Paul R.; Rubin, Donald B. (Oxford University Press, 1983)
      The propensity score is the conditional probability of assignment to a particular treatment given a vector of observed covariates. Both large and small sample theory show that adjustment for the scalar propensity score is ...

    • Certain Aspects of Cliticization in Polish 

      Szczegielniak, Adam (Penn Graduate Linguistics Society, 1995)
      The main goal of this paper is to present an account of certain forms of cliticization in Polish. I will try to show that the fact that certain clitics undergo phonological processes typically assumed to be lexical does ...
    • Certified Web Services in Ynot 

      Wisnesky, Ryan; Malecha, Gregory Michael; Morrisett, John Gregory (2010-04-21)
      In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to implement certi ed web systems in a way not much di erent from writing Standard ML or Haskell code, including use of imperative features like pointers, les, and socket ...
    • Ceteris Paribus Laws: Generics & Natural Kinds 

      Nickel, Bernhard (University of Michigan, 2010)
      Ceteris Paribus (cp-)laws may be said to hold only “other things equal,” signaling that their truth is compatible with a range of exceptions. This paper provides a new semantic account for some of the sentences used to ...
    • César Vallejo: Dos Poemas Elegíacos 

      Fernandez-cifuentes, Luis (El Colegio de Mexico, A.C., 1976-07-01)
      Los trabajos críticos sobre César Vallejo coinciden, en general, al es- tudiar el tema de la muerte en su poesía como uno de los temas capita- les y quizá el más constante entre los que se mantienen desde los He- raldos ...

P.; Vaz, Amili; Vikhlinin, Alexey; Wang, Zhong; Westover, Mike; Woods, Deborah; Zhao, Ping (American Astronomical Society, 2009)
      We present multiband photometry of 185 type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), with over 11,500 observations. These were acquired between 2001 and 2008 at the F. L. Whipple Observatory of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics ...
    • The CFR Task Force Report on “U.S. Education Reform and National Security”: A Reply and a Response 

      Engell, James (Association of Literary Scholars, Critics, and Writers, 2012)
    • CFT Duals for Extreme Black Holes 

      Hartman, Thomas; Murata, Keiju; Nishioka, Tatsuma; Strominger, Andrew E. (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2009)
      It is argued that the general four-dimensional extremal Kerr-Newman-AdS-dS black hole is holographically dual to a (chiral half of a) two-dimensional CFT, generalizing an argument given recently for the special case of ...
    • CFT's from Calabi–Yau four-folds 

      Gukov, Sergei; Vafa, Cumrun; Witten, Edward (Elsevier, 2000)
      We consider F/M/Type IIA theory compactified to four, three, or two dimensions on a Calabi-Yau four-fold, and study the behavior near an isolated singularity in the presence of appropriate fluxes and branes. We analyze the ...
    • Chain Length Scaling of Protein Folding Time 

      Gutin, A. M.; Abkevich, V. I.; Shakhnovich, E. I. (American Physical Society, 1996)
      Folding of protein-like heteropolymers into unique 3D structures is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations on a cubic lattice. We found that the folding time of chains of length N scales as N-lambda at the temperature ...
