Conjuring the Mysteries of Slavery: Voodoo, Fetishism, and Stereotype in Ishmael Reed’s Flight to Canada
(Duke University Press, 2005) -
Connected components of affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties in mixed characteristic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015)We determine the set of connected components of minuscule affine Deligne–Lusztig varieties for hyperspecial maximal compact subgroups of unramified connected reductive groups. Partial results are also obtained for non-minuscule ... -
Connecting Binuclear Pd(III) and Mononuclear Pd(IV) Chemistry by Pd–Pd Bond Cleavage
(American Chemical Society, 2012)Oxidation of binuclear Pd(II) complexes with PhICl\(_2\) or PhI(OAc)\(_2\) has previously been shown to afford binuclear Pd(III) complexes featuring a Pd–Pd bond. In contrast, oxidation of binuclear Pd(II) complexes with ... -
Connecting high-field quantum oscillations to zero-field electron spectral functions in the underdoped cuprates
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)The nature of the pseudogap regime of cuprate superconductors at low hole density remains unresolved. It has a number of seemingly distinct experimental signatures: a suppression of the paramagnetic spin susceptibility at ... -
Connecting Libraries, Archives, and Museums
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2023-03-14)Over the last two decades, libraries and archives of natural history museums and botanical gardens in the US have spent major efforts to digitize their holdings. However, transporting these digitized resources from individual ... -
Connections between markets and learning
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2010)We provide an overview of recent research exploring the striking mathematical connections that exist between market maker mechanisms for prediction markets and no-regret learning. We describe how these connections can be ... -
Connectomes across development reveal principles of brain maturation
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2020-04-30)From birth to adulthood, an animal’s nervous system changes as its body grows and its behaviours mature. The form and extent of circuit remodelling across the connectome is unknown. We used serial-section electron microscopy ... -
Conrad Gesner et La Publicité Un Humaniste au Carrefour Des Voies de Circulation du Savoir
Le polymathe Conrad Gessner a joué un rôle majeur dans la circulation du savoir de son temps, non seulement par ses nombreux ouvrages en bibliographie, philologie et histoire naturelle, mais aussi parce qu’il utilisait la ... -
Conrad Gessner's Paratexts
(Schwabe, 2016)Throughout his prolific publishing career Conrad Gessner composed abundant paratexts which offer valuable insight into his methods of working. Gessner wrote many dedications, only a minority of which were addressed to major ... -
Conscious Processing During Retrieval Can Occur in Early and Late Visual Regions
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Previous evidence has suggested a functional-anatomic dissociation between conscious and nonconscious processing during retrieval where early visual regions BA17/18 are associated with nonconscious processing and late ... -
Conscription as Regulation
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2005)We examine the practice of military conscription around the world from the perspective of two standard theories, and a new one, which emphasizes the fixed cost of introducing and administering the draft as a deterrent to ... -
A Consensus on Second Stage Analyses in Ecological Inference Models

Consequences for Peers Differentially Bias Computations About Risk Across Development
(American Psychological Association (APA), 2018-05)Adolescents routinely take risks that impact the well-being of the friends they are with. However, it remains unclear when and how consequences for friends factor into decisions to take risks. Here we used an economic ... -
Consequences of Interstellar Absorption for Models of Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)We examine properties of thermal radiation emitted by strongly magnetized neutron stars (NSs). In particular, we show that the pulsation amplitudes of the energy-integrated flux are an increasing function of the absorption ... -
Consequences of Pacing the Pleistocene 100 kyr Ice Ages by Nonlinear Phase Locking to Milankovitch Forcing
(American Geophysical Union, 2006)The consequences of the hypothesis that Milankovitch forcing affects the phase (e.g., termination times) of the 100 kyr glacial cycles via a mechanism known as “nonlinear phase locking” are examined. Phase locking provides ... -
Consequences of strong compression in tidal disruption events
(Oxford University Press, 2013)The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) is a highly energetic event with consequences dependent on the degree to which the star plunges inside the SMBH's tidal sphere. We introduce a new analytic ... -
Conservation and divergence of cortical cell organization in human and mouse revealed by MERFISH
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2022-07)The human cerebral cortex has tremendous cellular diversity. How different cell types are organized in the human cortex and how cellular organization varies across species remain unclear. In this study, we performed spatially ... -
Conservation Genetics of the Endangered Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard (Uma inornata)
(Herpatologists League, 2007)We used in microsatellite loci to examine rangewide population structure and interpopulation gene flow in the federally threatened Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (<i>Uma inornata</i>). Our results indicate low population ... -
Conservation Implications of Limited Native American Impacts in Pre-Contact New England
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-20)An increasingly accepted paradigm in conservation attributes valued modern ecological conditions to past human activities. Accordingly, disturbances, including prescribed fire, are employed by land managers to impede ...
