Peak Power Reduction of OFDM Signals with Sign Adjustment
(Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers, 2009)It has recently been shown that significant reduction in the peak to mean envelope power (PMEPR) can be obtained by altering the sign of each subcarrier in a multicarrier system with n subcarriers. However, finding the ... -
Pectoral fins aid in navigation of a complex environment by bluegill sunfish under sensory deprivation conditions
(The Company of Biologists, 2013)Complex structured environments offer fish advantages as places of refuge and areas of greater potential prey densities, but maneuvering through these environments is a navigational challenge. To successfully navigate ... -
Peculiar Type II supernovae from blue supergiants
(Oxford University Press, 2011)The vast majority of Type II supernovae (SNeII) are produced by red supergiants, but SN 1987A revealed that blue supergiants (BSGs) can produce members of this class as well, albeit with some peculiar properties. This ... -

Peer Influence and Attraction to Interracial Romantic Relationships
(MDPI AG, 2014)The present research examined the effect of social influence on White, heterosexual individuals’ attraction to targets of varying races (White vs. Black) in two college student samples from the United States (one that ... -
Peer Prediction with Heterogeneous Users
(ACM Press, 2017)Peer prediction mechanisms incentivize agents to truthfully report their signals, in the absence of a verification mechanism, by comparing their reports with those of their peers. Prior work in this area is essentially ... -
Peer Prediction with Private Beliefs
(2011)Reputation mechanisms at online opinion forums, such as Amazon Reviews, elicit ratings from their users about the experiences with products of unknown quality and critically rely on these ratings being truthful. The peer ... -
Peer Prediction without a Common Prior
(ACM Press, 2012)Reputation mechanisms at online opinion forums, such as Amazon Reviews, elicit ratings from users about their experience with different products. Crowdsourcing applications, such as image tagging on Amazon Mechanical Turk, ... -

People in Villages: Micro-Level Studies in Political Economy
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 1978)Recent micro-level studies of rural communities in the developing areas address themselves to three basic issues: (1) What are the major external forces that determine the welfare of persons residing in rural areas? (2) ... -
People studying people: artifacts and ethics in behavioral research

Peptide Inhibitors of Dengue-Virus Entry Target a Late-Stage Fusion Intermediate
(Public Library of Science, 2010)The mechanism of membrane fusion by “class II” viral fusion proteins follows a pathway that involves large-scale domain rearrangements of the envelope glycoprotein (E) and a transition from dimers to trimers. The rearrangement ... -
Peptidomic discovery of short open reading frame-encoded peptides in human cells
(2013)The amount of the transcriptome that is translated into polypeptides is of fundamental importance. We developed a peptidomic strategy to detect short ORF (sORF)-encoded polypeptides (SEPs) in human cells. We identified 90 ... -
Perceived Academic Competence and Overall Job Evaluations: Students' Evaluations of African American and European American Professors
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)Despite the fact that few people appear to endorse negative stereotypes of Blacks, such stereotypes are widely disseminated in our culture. Consequently, such stereotypes can have pervasive consequences on one's impressions ... -
Perceived Stress Predicts Altered Reward and Loss Feedback Processing in Medial Prefrontal Cortex
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Stress is a significant risk factor for the development of psychopathology, particularly symptoms related to reward processing. Importantly, individuals display marked variation in how they perceive and cope with stressful ... -

Perception, action, and word meanings in the human brain: the case from action verbs
(Wiley, 2011)Among other things, humans talk about what they perceive and do, like "glowing," "hopping," and "squeaking." What is the relationship between our sensory-motor experiences and word meanings? Does understanding action-verbs ... -
A Perception-based Color Space for Illumination-invariant Image Processing
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2008)Motivated by perceptual principles, we derive a new color space in which the associated metric approximates perceived distances and color displacements capture relationships that are robust to spectral changes in illumination. ... -
Perceptual Annotation: Measuring Human Vision to Improve Computer Vision
(Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)For many problems in computer vision, human learners are considerably better than machines. Humans possess highly accurate internal recognition and learning mechanisms that are not yet understood, and they frequently have ...
