Block Models of Crustal Motion in Southern California Constrained by GPS Measurements
(American Geophysical Union, 2005)We estimate slip rates on major active faults in southern California using a block model constrained by Global Positioning System measurements of interseismic deformation. The block model includes the effects of block ... -
Block-and-break generation of microdroplets with fixed volume
(AIP Publishing, 2013)We introduce a novel type of droplet generator that produces droplets of a volume set by the geometry of the droplet generator and not by the flow rates of the liquids. The generator consists of a classic T-junction with ... -
Block-based Bayesian epistasis association mapping with application to WTCCC type 1 diabetes data
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2011)Interactions among multiple genes across the genome may contribute to the risks of many complex human diseases. Whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data collected for many thousands of SNP markers from ... -
Blogging, Now and Then (250 Years Ago)
(Informa UK Limited, 2013)Long before the Internet, Europeans exchanged information in ways that anticipated blogging. The key element of their information system was the “anecdote,” a term that meant nearly the opposite then from what it means ... -

Blossom: A Decentralized Approach to Overcoming Systemic Internet Fragmentation
(2005)The Internet is systemically fragmented. We consider the causes of fragmentation, including both technical concerns, such as middleboxes and routing failure, as well as political concerns, such as incomplete peering and ... -
The Blue Tip of the Stellar Locus: Measuring Reddening with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
(IOP Publishing, 2010)We present measurements of reddening due to dust using the colors of stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure the color of main-sequence turnoff stars by finding the "blue tip" of the stellar locus: the ... -
BMP Signaling Controls Buckling Forces to Modulate Looping Morphogenesis of the Gut
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2017-02-13)Looping of the initially straight embryonic gut tube is an essential aspect of intestinal morphogenesis, permitting proper placement of the lengthy small intestine within the confines of the body cavity. The formation of ... -
BMP signaling is required for the generation of primordial germ cells in an insect
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014)Many model organisms specify germ cells using maternally supplied germ-line determinants. In contrast, mice rely on embryonic cell–cell signaling to induce cells to become germ cells. Molecular evidence for inductive ... -
BMS supertranslations and Weinberg’s soft graviton theorem
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2015)Recently it was conjectured that a certain infinite-dimensional “diagonal” subgroup of BMS supertranslations acting on past and future null infinity (I − and I +) is an exact symmetry of the quantum gravity S-matrix, and ... -
Bodin, Montaigne and the Role of Disciplinary Boundaries
(University of Rochester Press, 1997)Michel de Montaigne (1533-92) and Jean Bodin (1529-96) were contemporaries, compatriots and colleagues. Both served as officers in the Parlements, Montaigne as a counselor in Bordeaux and Bodin as a barrister in Paris. ... -
Bodleian Library, MS. Germ. e. 22. The Christ Child in the Host
(Informa UK Limited, 2017)This paper presents a miniature from a sixteenth-century prayer book originating from the Strasbourg Dominican nunnery St Nikolaus in Undis it in its historical and devotional context. The study particularly emphasizes the ... -

Body fat, energy balance and estradiol levels: a study based on hormonal profiles from complete menstrual cycles
(Oxford University Press, 2008)BACKGROUND: Female fecundity is regulated by nutritional status. Although widely cited, this hypothesis is not strongly supported by empirical data from non-obese, healthy women of reproductive age. METHODS: Healthy, ... -
Body Fatness During Childhood and Adolescence and Incidence of Breast Cancer in Premenopausal Women: A Prospective Cohort Study
(BioMed Central, 2005)Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) during adulthood is inversely related to the incidence of premenopausal breast cancer, but the role of body fatness earlier in life is less clear. We examined prospectively the relation ... -
Body-Mass Index and Mortality Risk in US Blacks Compared to Whites
(2013)Objective: To compare body-mass index (BMI)-related mortality risk in US Blacks vs. Whites as the relationship appears to differ across race/ethnicity groups. Design and Methods We pooled cross-sectional surveys of nationally ... -
