An Economist's Perspective on Multi-Agent Learning
(Elsevier, 2007)We comment on the Shoham, Powers, and Grenager survey of multi-agent learning and game theory, emphasizing that some of their categories are important for economics and others are not. We also try to correct some minor ... -
Ecophysiological Traits of Terrestrial and Aquatic Carnivorous Plants: Are the Costs and Benefits the Same?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)Identification of trade-offs among physiological and morphological traits and their use in cost-benefit models and ecological or evolutionary optimization arguments have been hallmarks of ecological analysis for at least ... -
Ecosystem heterogeneity determines the ecological resilience of the Amazon to climate change
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015)Understanding how changes in climate will affect terrestrial ecosystems is particularly important in tropical forest regions, which store large amounts of carbon and exert important feedbacks onto regional and global ... -
An ecosystem-scale perspective of the net land methanol flux: synthesis of micrometeorological flux measurements
(2015)Methanol is the second most abundant volatile organic compound in the troposphere and plays a significant role in atmospheric chemistry. While there is consensus about the dominant role of living plants as the major source ... -

Edge Absorption Theory in Semiconductors
(1962-10)A theoretical explanation is given for anomalously high intensity of absorption edge bands related to defects. -
Edge and Impurity Response in Two-Dimensional Quantum Antiferromagnets
(American Physical Society, 2008)Motivated by recent Monte Carlo simulations of Höglund and Sandvik (arXiv:0808.0408), we study edge response in square lattice quantum antiferromagnets. We use the \(O(3)\) nonlinear σ model to compute the decay asymptotics ... -
Edge-Driven Mechanical Microplate Models of Strike-Slip Faulting in the Tibetan Plateau
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)The India-Asia collision zone accommodates the relative motion between India and Eurasia through both shortening and pervasive strike-slip faulting. To gain a mechanical understanding of how fault slip rates are driven ... -
Edge-State Velocity and Coherence in a Quantum Hall Fabry-Pérot Interferometer
(American Physical Society, 2009)We investigate nonlinear transport in electronic Fabry-Pérot interferometers in the integer quantum Hall regime. For interferometers sufficiently large that Coulomb blockade effects are absent, a checkerboardlike pattern ... -
Ediacaran Microfossils from the Ura Formation, Baikal-Patom Uplift, Siberia: Taxonomy and Biostratigraphic Significance
(Paleontological Society, 2011)Abundant and diverse microfossils from shales of the uppermost Ura Formation, central Siberia, document early to middle Ediacaran life along the southeastern margin of the Siberian Platform. The Ura Formation is well exposed ... -
The Ediacaran Period: A New Addition to the Geologic Time Scale
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006)The International Union of Geological Sciences has approved a new addition to the geologic time scale: the Ediacaran Period. The Ediacaran is the first Proterozoic period to be recognized on the basis of chronostratigraphic ... -

Editorial Introduction to The PRC History Roundtable: New Perspectives in PRC History
(Editorial Board of the PRC History Group, 2017-06)The founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 has had a significant influence not only on the history of China but also on how that history has been studied. As the mainland closed its borders and barred its ... -
Editors' Introduction: Adorno, Music, Modernity
(Duke University Press, 2016)“As a temporal art,” Adorno observed, “music is bound to the fact of succession and is hence as irreversible as time itself. By starting it commits itself to carrying on, to becoming something new, to developing. What we ... -

Education and Income in the Early 20th Century: Evidence from the Prairies
(Cambridge University Press, 2000)We present the first estimates of the returns to years of schooling before 1940 using a large sample individuals (from the 1915 Iowa State Census). The returns to a year of high school or college were substantial in ...
