Composition dependence of Schottky Barrier Heights and Bandgap Energies of GaNxAs1−x Synthesized by Ion Implantation and Pulsed-Laser Melting
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)We present a systematic investigation on the band structure of the GaN<sub>x</sub>As<sub>1−x</sub> alloys synthesized using nitrogen ion implantation followed by pulsed-laser melting and rapid thermal annealing. The evolution ... -
Composition of Zero-Knowledge Proofs with Efficient Provers
(Springer Verlag, 2010)We revisit the composability of different forms of zero-knowledge proofs when the honest prover strategy is restricted to be polynomial time (given an appropriate auxiliary input). Our results are: 1.) When restricted to ... -
A Composition Theorem for Randomized Query Complexity
(2017-06-14)Let the randomized query complexity of a relation for error probability ϵ be denoted by Rϵ(⋅). We prove that for any relation f⊆{0,1}n× and Boolean function g:{0,1}m→{0,1}, R1/3(f∘gn)=Ω(R4/9(f)⋅R1/2−1/n4(g)), where f∘gn ... -
Compositional Computational Reflection
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2014)Current work on computational reflection is single-minded; each reflective procedure is written with a specific application or scope in mind. Composition of these reflective procedures is done by a proof- generating tactic ... -
Compositional Tuning of Ultrathin Surface Oxides on Metal and Alloy Substrates Using Photons: Dynamic Simulations and Experiments
(American Physical Society, 2010)We report on the ability to modify the structure and composition of ultrathin oxides grown on Ni and Ni-Al alloy surfaces at room temperature utilizing photon illumination. We find that the nickel-oxide formation is enhanced ... -
Compositionality and Statistics in Adjective Acquisition: 4-year-olds Interpret Tall and Short Based on the Size Distributions of Novel Noun Referents
(Blackwell Publishers, 2008)Four experiments investigated 4-year-olds' understanding of adjective-noun compositionality and their sensitivity to statistics when interpreting scalar adjectives. In Experiments 1 and 2, children selected tall and short ... -
Compound formation is constrained by morphology: A reply to Seidenberg, MacDonald & Haskell
(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2008)Why do compounds containing regular plurals, such as rats-infested, sound so much worse than corresponding compounds containing irregular plurals, such as mice-infested? Berent and Pinker (2007) reported five experiments ... -
Comprehensive analyses of tumor immunity: implications for cancer immunotherapy
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Understanding the interactions between tumor and the host immune system is critical to finding prognostic biomarkers, reducing drug resistance, and developing new therapies. Novel computational methods are ... -
Comprehensive and integrated district health systems strengthening: the Rwanda Population Health Implementation and Training (PHIT) Partnership
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Nationally, health in Rwanda has been improving since 2000, with considerable improvement since 2005. Despite improvements, rural areas continue to lag behind urban sectors with regard to key health outcomes. ... -
Comprehensive confocal endomicroscopy of the esophagus in vivo
(© Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2014)Background and study aims: Biopsy sampling error can be a problem for the diagnosis of certain gastrointestinal tract diseases. Spectrally-encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) is a high-speed reflectance confocal microscopy ... -
Comprehensive Essentiality Analysis of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genome via Saturating Transposon Mutagenesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017)ABSTRACT For decades, identifying the regions of a bacterial chromosome that are necessary for viability has relied on mapping integration sites in libraries of random transposon mutants to find loci that are unable to ... -
Comprehensive Evaluation of Peripheral Nerve Regeneration in the Acute Healing Phase Using Tissue Clearing and Optical Microscopy in a Rodent Model
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Peripheral nerve injury (PNI), a common injury in both the civilian and military arenas, is usually associated with high healthcare costs and with patients enduring slow recovery times, diminished quality of life, and ... -
A comprehensive molecular phylogeny of tardigrades-adding genes and taxa to a poorly resolved phylum-level phylogeny
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)Tardigrades constitute a phylum of miniaturized metazoans with ca. 1030 living species, a fossil record that probably dates back to the Cambrian, and physiological properties that allow them to live in almost any environment ... -

A Comprehensive Reference Transcriptome Resource for the Common House Spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Parasteatoda tepidariorum is an increasingly popular model for the study of spider development and the evolution of development more broadly. However, fully understanding the regulation and evolution of P. tepidariorum ... -
Comprehensive search for topological materials using symmetry indicators
(Springer Nature, 2019-02)Topological materials have attracted much attention in the past decade. While several theoret- ically proposed topological materials have been experimentally confirmed, extensive experimental exploration of topological ... -
A Comprehensive Study of Detectability and Contamination in Deep Rapid Optical Searches for Gravitational Wave Counterparts
(IOP Publishing, 2015)The first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW) by the ground-based Advanced LIGO/Virgo interferometers is expected to occur within the next few years. These interferometers are designed to detect the mergers of ... -
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) with compressors distributed at heat loads to enable waste heat utilization
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Large scale penetration of renewable energies such as wind and solar into the electric grid is complicated by their intermittency. Energy storage systems can mitigate these fluctuations by storing off-peak energy for use ... -
Compressed air energy storage with waste heat export: An Alberta case study
(Elsevier BV, 2014)Interest in compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology has been renewed driven by the need to manage variability form rapidly growing wind and solar capacity. Distributed CAES (D-CAES) design aims to improve the ... -
Compressed Sensing for Multidimensional Spectroscopy Experiments
