Aggregation Among Binary, Count, and Duration Models: Estimating the Same Quantities from Different Levels of Data
(Oxford University Press, 2001)Binary, count, and duration data all code discrete events occurring at points in time. Although a single data generation process can produce all of these three data types, the statistical literature is not very helpful in ... -
Aggressive Parental Leave Incentivizing: A Statutory Proposal Toward Gender Equalization in the Workplace

The Aging of Wolff’s “Law”: Ontogeny and Responses to Mechanical Loading in Cortical Bone
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004)The premise that bones grow and remodel throughout life to adapt to their mechanical environment is often called Wolff’s law. Wolff’s law, however, is not always true, and in fact comprises a variety of different processes ... -
Agnihotra Rituals in Nepal
(Oxford University Press, 2015)This chapter examines the history of the agnihotra in the Kathmandu valley. This ritual is Vedic, but is considered to be an antecedent to the tantric homa. The ritual is known to have been performed in Nepal by the fifteenth ... -
Agnogene Deletion in a Novel Pathogenic JC Virus Isolate Impairs VP1 Expression and Virion Production
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Infection of glial cells by the human polyomavirus JC (JCV) causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). JCV Encephalopathy (JCVE) is a newly identified disease characterized by JCV infection of cortical pyramidal ... -

Agrin and Synaptic Laminin Are Required to Maintain Adult Neuromuscular Junctions
(Public Library of Science, 2012)As synapses form and mature the synaptic partners produce organizing molecules that regulate each other’s differentiation and ensure precise apposition of pre- and post-synaptic specializations. At the skeletal neuromuscular ... -

Aharonov-Bohm Effect in Graphene-Based Fabry-Pérot Quantum Hall Interferometers
(Springer Nature, 2021-02-25)Interferometers probe the wave-nature and exchange statistics of indistinguishable particles, for example electrons in the chiral one-dimensional edge channels of the quantum Hall effect (QHE). Quantum point contacts can ... -
Ahead of the Game: Middle and Upper Palaeolithic Hunting Behaviors in the Southern Caucasus
(University of Chicago Press, 2006)Over the past several decades a variety of models have been proposed to explain perceived behavioral and cognitive differences between Neanderthals and modern humans. A key element in many of these models and one often ... -
AI Support of Teamwork for Coordinated Care of Children with Complex Conditions

The Air Cure Town: Commodifying Mountain Air in Alpine Central Europe
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2012)Does air have value? In the first volume of Capital, Marx suggested it did not: “A thing can be a use-value, without having value,” he explained. “This is the case whenever its utility to man is not due to labour. Such are ... -
Air mass factor formulation for spectroscopic measurements from satellites: Application to formaldehyde retrievals from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2001)We present a new formulation for the air mass factor (AMF) to convert slant column measurements of optically thin atmospheric species from space into total vertical columns. Because of atmospheric scattering, the AMF depends ... -
An air-liquid contactor for large-scale capture of CO2 from air
(The Royal Society, 2012)We present a conceptually simple method for optimizing the design of a gas–liquid contactor for capture of carbon dioxide from ambient air, or ‘air capture’. We apply the method to a slab geometry contactor that uses ... -
Air-Sea Exchange in the Global Mercury Cycle
(American Geophysical Union, 2007)We present results from a new global atmospheric mercury model coupled with a mixed layer slab ocean. The ocean model describes the interactions of the mixed layer with the atmosphere and deep ocean, as well as conversion ... -
Air-snow exchange of HNO3 and NOy at Summit, Greenland
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)Ice core records of NO3− deposition to polar glaciers could provide unrivaled information on past photochemical status and N cycling dynamics of the troposphere, if the ice core records could be inverted to yield concentrations ... -
Airborne measurements of organosulfates over the continental U.S.
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Organosulfates are important secondary organic aerosol (SOA) components and good tracers for aerosol heterogeneous reactions. However, the knowledge of their spatial distribution, formation conditions, and environmental ...
