Sorting Out a Promiscuous Superfamily: Towards Cadherin Connectomics
(Elsevier BV, 2014)Members of the cadherin superfamily of proteins are involved in diverse biological processes such as morphogenesis, sound transduction, and neuronal connectivity. Key to cadherin function is their extracellular domain ... -
Sound and Sense in Cath Almaine
(Royal Irish Academy, 2004)Cath Almaine, a tenth-century tale on the battle of Allen, presents a remarkable sequence of verbal and vocal acts. They include pledges and promises, curse and prophecy, narrative before the battle and after it, a cry of ... -
Source Attribution and Interannual Variability of Arctic Pollution in Spring Constrained by Aircraft (ARCTAS, ARCPAC) and Satellite (AIRS) Observations of Carbon Monoxide
(European Geosciences Union, 2010)We use aircraft observations of carbon monoxide (CO) from the NASA ARCTAS and NOAA ARCPAC campaigns in April 2008 together with multiyear (2003–2008) CO satellite data from the AIRS instrument and a global chemical transport ... -
Source Attribution of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs) in Surface Waters from Rhode Island and the New York Metropolitan Area
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016)Exposure to poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) has been associated with adverse health effects in humans and wildlife. Understanding pollution sources is essential for environmental regulation, but source attribution ... -
Source-level Debugging for Multiple Languages With Modest Programming Effort
(2005)We present techniques that enable source-level debugging for multiple languages at the cost of only modest programming effort. The key idea is to avoid letting debugging requirements constrain the internal structure of the ... -
Sources and budgets for CO and O3 in the northeastern Pacific during the spring of 2001: Results from the PHOBEA-II Experiment
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)Ground and airborne measurements of CO, ozone, and aerosols were obtained in the northeastern (NE) Pacific troposphere during 9 March–31 May 2001 as part of the PHOBEA-II project (Photochemical Ozone Budget of the Eastern ... -
Sources and chemistry of nitrogen oxides over the tropical Pacific
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)We examine the sources and chemistry affecting nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2) over the tropical Pacific (30°S–20°N) using observations from the Pacific Exploratory Mission to the Tropics B (PEM-Tropics B) aircraft mission ... -
Sources and Deposition of Reactive Gaseous Mercury in the Marine Atmosphere
(Elsevier, 2009)Observations of reactive gaseous mercury (RGM) in marine air show a consistent diurnal cycle with minimum at night, rapid increase at sunrise, maximum at midday, and rapid decline in afternoon. We use a box model for the ... -
Sources and Processes Contributing to Nitrogen Deposition: An Adjoint Model Analysis Applied to Biodiversity Hotspots Worldwide
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2013)Anthropogenic enrichment of reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition is an ecological concern. We use the adjoint of a global 3-D chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem) to identify the sources and processes that control Nr deposition ... -
Sources and sinks of formic, acetic, and pyruvic acids over central Amazonia: 2. Wet season
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1990)We have determined the gas phase concentrations of formic (HCOOH), acetic (CH3COOH), and pyruvic (CH3C(O)COOH) acids in the forest canopy, boundary layer, and free troposphere over the central Amazon Basin during the ... -
Sources contributing to background surface ozone in the US Intermountain West
(Copernicus GmbH, 2014)We quantify the sources contributing to background surface ozone concentrations in the US Intermountain West by using the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model with 1 / 2° × 2 / 3° horizontal resolution to interpret the Clean ... -
Sources of Carbon Monoxide and Formaldehyde in North America Determined from High-Resolution Atmospheric Data
(Copernicus Publications, 2008)We analyze the North American budget for carbon monoxide using data for CO and formaldehyde concentrations from tall towers and aircraft in a model-data assimilation framework. The Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian ... -
Sources of carbonaceous aerosols and deposited black carbon in the Arctic in winter-spring: implications for radiative forcing
(European Geosciences Union, 2011)We use a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem CTM) to interpret observations of black carbon (BC) and organic aerosol (OA) from the NASA ARCTAS aircraft campaign over the North American Arctic in April 2008, as well ... -
Sources of carbonaceous aerosols over the United States and implications for natural visibility
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)We use a global three-dimensional model (GEOS-CHEM) to better quantify the sources of elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) aerosols in the United States through simulation of year-round observations for 1998 at a ... -
Sources of HO x and production of ozone in the upper troposphere over the United States
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)The sources of HOx (OH+peroxy radicals) and the associated production of ozone at 8–12 km over the United States are examined by modeling observations of OH, HO2, NO, and other species during the SUCCESS aircraft campaign ... -

Sources of tropospheric ozone along the Asian Pacific Rim: An analysis of ozonesonde observations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2002)The sources contributing to tropospheric ozone over the Asian Pacific Rim in different seasons are quantified by analysis of Hong Kong and Japanese ozonesonde observations with a global three-dimensional (3-D) chemical ... -
Sources of upper tropospheric HOx over the South Pacific Convergence Zone: A case study
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2002)A zero-dimensional (0-D) model has been applied to study the sources of hydrogen oxide radicals (HOx = HO2 + OH) in the tropical upper troposphere during the Pacific Exploratory Mission in the tropics (PEM-Tropics B) ... -
Sources of Wage Inequality
(American Economic Association, 2013)Recent theories of firm heterogeneity emphasize between-firm wage differences as a new mechanism through which trade can affect wage inequality. Using linked employer-employee data for Sweden, we show that many of the ... -
