      Recent studies have postulated that distinct regulatory cascades control myogenic differentiation in the head and the trunk. However, although the tissues and signaling molecules that induce skeletal myogenesis in the trunk ...

    • Antarctic Temperature at Orbital Timescales Controlled by Local Summer Duration 

      Huybers, Peter John; Denton, George (Nature Publishing Group, 2008)
      During the late Pleistocene epoch, proxies for Southern Hemisphere climate from the Antarctic ice cores vary nearly in phase with Northern Hemisphere insolation intensity at the precession and obliquity timescales. This ...

    • Antarctica's Orbital Beat 

      Huybers, Peter John (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2009)
      Alternating glacial and interglacial conditions have dominated Earth's climate for at least the past 800,000 years (1, 2). Such a global rhythm of glaciation is surprising—at least if summer solar radiation controls ...

    • Antecedent Prediction Without a Pipeline 

      Wiseman, Sam Joshua; Rush, Alexander Matthew; Shieber, Stuart Merrill (Association for Computational Linguistics, 2016)
      We consider several antecedent prediction models that use no pipelined features generated by upstream systems. Models trained in this way are interesting because they allow for side-stepping the intricacies of upstream ...
