Relaxation of excited states in nonlinear Schrödinger equations
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2002)We consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a bounded local potential in ℝ3. The linear Hamiltonian is assumed to have two bound states with the eigenvalues satisfying some resonance condition. Suppose that the initial ... -
Relaxation of Fermionic Excitations in a Strongly Attractive Fermi Gas in an Optical Lattice
(American Physical Society, 2011)We theoretically study the relaxation of high energy single particle excitations into molecules in a system of attractive fermions in an optical lattice, both in the superfluid and the normal phase. In a system characterized ... -
Relaxation to Equilibrium of Conservative Dynamics. I: Zero-Range Processes
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 1999)Under mild assumptions we prove that for any local function uu the decay rate to equilibrium in the variance sense of zero range dynamics on dd-dimensional integer lattice is Cut−d/2+o(t−d/2)Cut−d/2+o(t−d/2). The constant ... -
Relaxation, dephasing, and quantum control of electron spins in double quantum dots
(American Physical Society, 2007) -
Relaxing to Three Dimensions
(American Physical Society, 2005)We propose a new selection principle for distinguishing among possible vacua that we call the "relaxation principle." The idea is that the Universe will naturally select among possible vacua through its cosmological ... -
Release of cellular tension signals self-restorative ventral lamellipodia to heal barrier micro-wounds
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2013)Basic mechanisms by which cellular barriers sense and respond to integrity disruptions remain poorly understood. Despite its tenuous structure and constitutive exposure to disruptive strains, the vascular endothelium ... -
The Relevance of Polarity for the Online Interpretation of Scalar Terms
(Cornell University Department of Linguistics, 2011)The interpretation of scalar terms (like, e.g., some vs. all; the numerals) has been at the center of much theoretical debate. Recently, this debate has focused on whether Scalar Implicature (SI) computation is grammatically ... -
Reliability and Validity of Instruments for Assessing Perinatal Depression in African Settings: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: A major barrier to improving perinatal mental health in Africa is the lack of locally validated tools for identifying probable cases of perinatal depression or for measuring changes in depression symptom severity. ... -
Reliability of Measurement in Psychology: From Spearman-Brown to Maximal Reliability
(American Psychological Association, 1996)The authors extend the usual approach to the assessment of test or rater reliability to situations that have previously not been appropriate for the application of this standard (Spearman-Brown) approach. Specifically, the ... -
Reliable and Fault-Tolerant Peer-to-Peer Block Storage
(2002)The Charles is a scalable, fault-tolerant, persistent block storage service built from a constantly changing network of potentially faulty or malicious computing nodes. The Charles is designed for a P2P environment: networks ... -
Reliable Cell Segmentation Based on Spectral Phasor Analysis of Hyperspectral Stimulated Raman Scattering Imaging Data
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014)Hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) imaging has rapidly become an emerging tool for high content analyses of cell and tissue systems. The label-free nature of SRS imaging combined with its chemical specificity ... -
Religion and Economic Growth across Countries
(American Sociological Association, 2003)Empirical research on the determinants of economic growth typically neglects the influence of religion. To fill this gap, this study uses international survey data on religiosity for a broad panel of countries to investigate ... -
Religion and HIV in Tanzania: influence of religious beliefs on HIV stigma, disclosure, and treatment attitudes
(BioMed Central, 2009)Background: Religion shapes everyday beliefs and activities, but few studies have examined its associations with attitudes about HIV. This exploratory study in Tanzania probed associations between religious beliefs and HIV ... -
Religion and Human Agency in Ancient Maya History: Tales from the Hieroglyphic Stairway
(Cambridge University Press, 2002)Originally presented as the twelfth McDonald Lecture, the following seeks to contribute to the field of cognitive archaeology by exploring how both process and agency contributed to the creation of enduring symbols in a ... -
Religion and Political Economy in an International Panel
(National Bureau of Economic Research, 2002)Economic and political developments affect religiosity, and the extent of religious participation and beliefs influence economic performance and political institutions. We study these two directions of causation in a broad ... -
Religion and the Japanese Constitution
(Cambridge University Press, 2014)This paper examines provisions regarding religion in the 1947 Constitution of Japan, showing how they differ from the Meiji constitution of 1889. It examines policies on religion established by the Allied Occupation of ... -
Religion and the Modernity of Renaissance Humanism
(E. J. Brill, 2006)Argues that the theology of the Italian Renaissance looks forward in certain key respects to the theologies of the Enlightenment and to modern ecumenism; discusses Nicolaus Cusanus, Marsilio Ficino. Giovanni Pico della ... -
