Resolving the Surfaces of Extrasolar Planets with Secondary Eclipse Light Curves
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)We present a method that employs the secondary eclipse light curves of transiting extrasolar planets to probe the spatial variation of their thermal emission. This technique permits an observer to resolve the surface of ... -
Resonant H – Photodetachment: Enhanced Photodestruction and Consequences for Radiative Feedback
(IOP Publishing, 2010)The hydrogen negative ion plays a crucial role in the formation of hydrogen molecules in the early universe. Cooling through excitation of \(H_2\) drives the formation of the first cosmological objects. The \(H_2\) molecules ... -
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering as a probe of band structure effects in cuprates
(American Physical Society, 2016)We analyze within quasiparticle theory a recent resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) experiment on YBa2Cu3O6+x with the incoming photon energy detuned at several values from the resonance maximum [Minola et al., Phys. ... -
Resonant Post-newtonian Eccentricity Excitation in Hierarchical Three-body Systems
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)We study the secular, hierarchical three-body problem to first-order in a post-Newtonian expansion of general relativity (GR). We expand the first-order post-Newtonian Hamiltonian to leading-order in the ratio of the ... -
Resonant stripping as the origin of dwarf spheroidal galaxies
(Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2009)Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are the most dark-matter-dominated systems in the nearby Universe(1-3) and their origin is one of the outstanding puzzles of how galaxies form. Dwarf spheroidals are poor in gas and stars, making ... -
Resonant versus nonresonant nuclear excitation of 115 In by positron annihilation
(American Physical Society (APS), 2001)We have measured the resonant cross section σn for nuclear excitation of 115In via the radiationless annihilation of a positron with a K-shell electron using a monoenergetic positron beam and a thin In target. We find an ... -
Resonant X-ray Scattering From the Surface of a Dilute Liquid Hg-Au Alloy
(Materials Research Society, 2000)We present the first resonant x-ray reflectivity measurements from a liquid surface. The surface structure of the liquid Hg-Au alloy system just beyond the solubility limit of 0.14at% Au in Hg had previously been shown to ... -
Resource Efficient Gadgets for Compiling Adiabatic Quantum Optimization Problems
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)A resource efficient method by which the ground-state of an arbitrary k-local, optimization Hamiltonian can be encoded as the ground-state of a inline image-local, optimization Hamiltonian is developed. This result is ... -
A Resource for Transcriptomic Analysis in the Mouse Brain
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2008-08-20)Background: The transcriptome of the cerebral cortex is remarkably homogeneous, with variations being stronger between individuals than between areas. It is thought that due to the presence of many distinct cell types, ... -
Resource Intensification in the Late Upper Paleolithic: A View from Southern China
(Elsevier, 2009)Resource intensification is often viewed as a precursor to sedentism and thereby to agriculture. Late Upper Paleolithic sites in China are also seen as important precursors to the beginnings of sedentism and agriculture, ... -

A Resource Management Framework for Central Servers
(1999)Proportional-share resource management is becoming increasingly important in today’s computing environments. In particular, the growing use of the computational resources of central service providers argues for a ... -
Respiration control of multicellularity in Bacillus subtilis by a complex of the cytochrome chain with a membrane-embedded histidine kinase
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2013)Bacillus subtilis forms organized multicellular communities known as biofilms wherein the individual cells are held together by a self-produced extracellular matrix. The environmental signals that promote matrix synthesis ... -

Response bias, weighting adjustments, and design effects in the Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)The Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers (Army STARRS) is a multi-component epidemiological and neurobiological study designed to generate actionable recommendations to reduce U.S. Army suicides and ... -
Response Conflict and Frontocingulate Dysfunction in Unmedicated Participants with Major Depression
(Pergamon Press, 2008)Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) often exhibit impaired executive function, particularly in experimental tasks that involve response conflict and require adaptive behavioral adjustments. Prior research ... -
Response of Macroarthropod Assemblages to the Loss of Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), a Foundation Species
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)In eastern North American forests, eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is a foundation species. As hemlock is lost from forests due to the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) and pre-emptive salvage logging, ... -
Response of Metallic Pyramidal Lattice Core Sandwich Panels to High Intensity Impulsive Loading in Air
(Elsevier, 2011)Small scale explosive loading of sandwich panels with low relative density pyramidal lattice cores has been used to study the large scale bending and fracture response of a model sandwich panel system in which the core has ... -
Response switching and self-efficacy in Peer Instruction classrooms
(American Physical Society (APS), 2015)Peer Instruction, a well-known student-centered teaching method, engages students during class through structured, frequent questioning and is often facilitated by classroom response systems. The central feature of any ...
