    • Robust PCPs of Proximity, Shorter PCPs, and Applications to Coding 

      Ben-Sasson, Eli; Goldreich, Oded; Harsha, Prahladh; Sudan, Madhu; Vadhan, Salil (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2006)
      We continue the study of the trade-off between the length of probabilistically checkable proofs (PCPs) and their query complexity, establishing the following main results ( which refer to proofs of satisfiability of circuits ...

    • Robust protein protein interactions in crowded cellular environments 

      Deeds, E. J.; Ashenberg, O.; Gerardin, J.; Shakhnovich, Eugene Isaacovitch (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007)
      The capacity of proteins to interact specifically with one another underlies our conceptual understanding of how living systems function. Systems-level study of specificity in protein–protein interactions is complicated ...

    • A Robust Quantification of Galaxy Cluster Morphology Using Asymmetry and Central Concentration

      Controllable atomic-scale quantum systems hold great potential as sensitive tools for nanoscale imaging and metrology . Possible applications range from nanoscale electric and magnetic field sensing to single photon ...

    • Robust Traceability from Trace Amounts 

      Dwork, Cynthia; Smith, Adam; Steinke, Thomas Alexander; Ullman, Jonathan; Vadhan, Salil P. (2015)
      The privacy risks inherent in the release of a large number of summary statistics were illustrated by Homer et al. (PLoS Genetics, 2008), who considered the case of 1-way marginals of SNP allele frequencies obtained in a ...

    • A Robust Uniaxial Force Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery 

      Yip, Michael C.; Yuen, Shelten G.; Howe, Robert D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010)
      This paper presents a novel, miniature uniaxial force sensor for use within a beating heart during mitral valve annuloplasty. The sensor measures 5.5 mm in diameter and 12 mm in length, and provides a hollow core to pass ...

    • Robust Variable and Interaction Selection for Logistic Regression and General Index Models 

      Li, Yang; Liu, Jun (Informa UK Limited, 2017)
      Under the logistic regression framework, we propose a forward-backward method, SODA, for variable selection with both main and quadratic interaction terms. In the forward stage, SODA adds in predictors that have significant ...

    • Robust, synergistic regulation of human gene expression using TALE activators 

      Maeder, Morgan L.; Linder, Samantha J.; Reyon, Deepak; Angstman, James F.; Fu, Yanfang; Sander, Jeffry D.; Joung, J. Keith (2013)
      Artificial transcription activator-like (TAL) effector-based activators (TALE activators) have broad utility but previous studies suggest that these monomeric proteins often possess low activities. Here we demonstrate that ...

    • Robusta: Taming the Native Beast of the JVM 

      Siefers, Joseph; Tan, Gang; Morrisett, John Gregory (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)
      Java applications often need to incorporate native-code components for efficiency and for reusing legacy code. However, it is well known that the use of native code defeats Java's security model. We describe the design and ...

    • Robustness of quantum memories based on Majorana zero modes 

      Mazza, L.; Rizzi, M.; Lukin, Mikhail D.; Cirac, J. I. (American Physical Society (APS), 2013)
      We analyze the rate at which quantum information encoded in zero-energy Majorana modes is lost in the presence of perturbations. We show that information can survive for times that scale exponentially with the size of the ...

    • A rocky planet transiting a nearby low-mass star 

      Berta-Thompson, Zachory K.; Irwin, Jonathan; Charbonneau, David; Newton, Elisabeth R; Dittmann, Jason Adam; Astudillo-Defru, Nicola; Bonfils, Xavier; Gillon, Michaël; Jehin, Emmanuël; Stark, Antony A.; Stalder, Brian; Bouchy, Francois; Delfosse, Xavier; Forveille, Thierry; Lovis, Christophe; Mayor, Michel; Neves, Vasco; Pepe, Francesco; Santos, Nuno C.; Udry, Stéphane; Wünsche, Anaël (Springer Nature, 2015)
      M-dwarf stars – hydrogen-burning stars that are smaller than 60 per cent of the size of the Sun – are the most common class of star in our Galaxy and outnumber Sun-like stars by a ratio of 12:1. Recent results have shown ...
