Bootstrap Learning Via Modular Concept Discovery
(AAAI Press/International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence, 2013)Suppose a learner is faced with a domain of problems about which it knows nearly nothing. It does not know the distribution of problems, the space of solutions is not smooth, and the reward signal is uninformative, providing ... -
Bootstrapped Biocatalysis: Biofilm-Derived Materials as Reversibly Functionalizable Multienzyme Surfaces
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017)Cell-free biocatalysis systems offer many benefits for chemical manufacturing, but their widespread applicability is hindered by high costs associated with enzyme purification, modification, and immobilization on solid ... -

Boson sampling for molecular vibronic spectra
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Controllable quantum devices open novel directions to both quantum computation and quantum simulation. Recently, a problem known as boson sampling has been shown to provide a pathway for solving a computationally intractable ... -

Bottom-Up Estimates of Coal Mine Methane Emissions in China: A Gridded Inventory, Emission Factors, and Trends
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-05-31)China has large but uncertain coal mine methane (CMM) emissions. Inverse modeling (top-down) analyses of atmospheric methane observations can help improve the emission estimates but require reliable emission patterns as ... -
A bottom-up perspective on ecosystem change in Mesozoic oceans
(The Royal Society, 2016)Mesozoic and Early Cenozoic marine animals across multiple phyla record secular trends in morphology, environmental distribution, and inferred behaviour that are parsimoniously explained in terms of increased selection ... -
Bound states at impurities as a probe of topological superconductivity in nanowires
(American Physical Society, 2013)Spin-orbit coupled superconductors are interesting candidates for realizing topological and potentially non-Abelian states with Majorana fermions. We argue that time-reversal broken spin-orbit coupled superconductors ... -

Bound States of Guided Matter Waves: An Atom and a Charged Wire
(American Physical Society, 1992)We argue that it is possible to bind a neutral atom in stable orbits around a wire charged by a time-varying sinusoidal voltage. Both classical and quantum-mechanical theories for this system are discussed, and a unified ... -
Boundary Work for Sustainable Development: Natural Resource Management at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)
(National Academy of Sciences, 2011)Previous research on the determinants of effectiveness in knowledge systems seeking to support sustainable development has highlighted the importance of “boundary work” through which research communities organize their ... -

Bounded Independence Fools Degree-2 Threshold Functions
(IEEE, 2010)For an n-variate degree-2 real polynomial p, we prove that \(E_{x\sim D}[sig(p(x))]\) Is determined up to an additive \(\epsilon\) as long as D is a k-wise Independent distribution over \(\{-1, 1\}^n\) for \(k = ... -
