    • Arms Diffusion and War 

      Bas, Muhammet Ali; Coe, A. J. (SAGE Publications, 2012)
      The authors present a model of the relationship between the spread of new military technologies and the occurrence of war. A new technology could shift the balance of power, causing anticipatory war as one side tries to ...

    • Army Ants Harbor a Host-Specific Clade of Entomoplasmatales Bacteria 

      Funaro, Colin F.; Kronauer, Daniel J. C.; Moreau, Corrie S.; Goldman-Huertas, Benjamin; Pierce, Naomi E.; Russell, Jacob A. (American Society for Microbiology, 2010)
      In this article, we describe the distributions of Entomoplasmatales bacteria across the ants, identifying a novel lineage of gut bacteria that is unique to the army ants. While our findings indicate that the Entomoplasmatales ...

    • aRrayLasso: a network-based approach to microarray interconversion 

      Brown, Adam S.; Patel, Chirag J. (Oxford University Press, 2015)
      Summary: Robust conversion between microarray platforms is needed to leverage the wide variety of microarray expression studies that have been conducted to date. Currently available conversion methods rely on manufacturer ...

    • Arrivals and Departures 

      Sollors, Werner M (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2017)

    • The Arrow Impossibility Theorem: Where Do We go from Here?

    • Arsenic atom location on passivated silicon (111) surfaces 

      Patel, J. R.; Golovchenko, Jene Andrew; Freeland, P. E.; Gossmann, H- J. (American Physical Society (APS), 1987)
      The position of As atoms on a clean Si(111) surface has been determined with x-ray standing waves in ultrahigh vacuum. The As atoms occupy exclusively the top half of the silicon (111) double plane and lie at 0.17 Å above ...

    • Art and Craft in Proust’s Life and Work 

      Greene, Virginie (Cambridge University Press, 2015)

    • Art and Nature in Ancient Mechanics 

      Schiefsky, Mark John (Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2007)

    • Art History Reviewed XI: Hans Belting's 'Bild und Kult: eine Geschichte des Bildes vor dem Zeitalter der Kunst,' 1990 

      Hamburger, Jeffrey F. (Burlington Magazine Publications Ltd., 2011)

    • The art of medicine: caring for memories 

      Kleinman, Arthur Michael (Elsevier, 2016-07-28)

    • Art, Enclosure and the Cura Monialium: Prolegomena in the Guise of a Postscript 

      Hamburger, Jeffrey F. (International Center of Medieval Art, 1992)
      A history of the art and architecture of female monasticism requires a social history of female spirituality in the Middle Ages. Neither, however, has been written, perhaps because each is integral to the other. The cura ...

    • Arthrobots 

      Nemiroski, Alex; Shevchenko, Yanina Y.; Stokes, Adam A.; Unal, Baris; Ainla, Alar; Albert, Sahradha; Compton, Gabrielle; MacDonald, Emily; Schwab, Yosyp; Zellhofer, Caroline; Whitesides, George McClelland (Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2017)
      This paper describes a class of robots—“arthrobots”— inspired, in part, by the musculoskeletal system of arthropods (spiders and insects, inter alia). An exoskeleton, constructed from thin organic polymeric tubes, provides ...

      Moran, Richard (Blackwell Publishing, 1994)

    • Artifice and Persuasion: The Work of Metaphor in the Rhetoric 

      Moran, Richard (University of California Press, 1996)

    • Artificial insect wings of diverse morphology for flapping-wing micro air vehicles 

      Shang, J K; Combes, Stacey A.; Finio, B M; Wood, Robert J. (IOP Publishing, 2009)
      The development of flapping-wing micro air vehicles (MAVs) demands a systematic exploration of the available design space to identify ways in which the unsteady mechanisms governing flapping-wing flight can best be utilized ...

    • ARTIST: High-Resolution Genome-Wide Assessment of Fitness Using Transposon-Insertion Sequencing 

      Pritchard, Justin R.; Chao, Michael C.; Abel, Sören; Davis, Brigid M.; Baranowski, Catherine; Zhang, Yanjia J.; Rubin, Eric J.; Waldor, Matthew K. (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Transposon-insertion sequencing (TIS) is a powerful approach for deciphering genetic requirements for bacterial growth in different conditions, as it enables simultaneous genome-wide analysis of the fitness of thousands ...

    • An As-Rigid-As-Possible Approach to Sensor Network Localization 

      Zhang, Lei; Liu, Ligang; Gotsman, Craig; Gortler, Steven J. (2009)
      We present a novel approach to localization of sensors in a network given a subset of noisy inter-sensor distances. The algorithm is based on "stitching" together local structures by solving an optimization problem requiring ...

    • Asa Gray and Charles Darwin: Corresponding Naturalists 

      Browne, Janet E (Harvard University Herbaria, 2010)
      Recent work on the rise of science in the nineteenth century has encouraged historians to look again at the role of correspondence. Naturalists relied extensively on this form of contact and correspondence was a major ...

    • ASC: Automatically Scalable Computation 

      Waterland, Amos; Angelino, Elaine; Adams, Ryan Prescott; Appavoo, Jonathan; Seltzer, Margo I. (Association of Computing Machinery, 2014)
      We present an architecture designed to transparently and automatically scale the performance of sequential programs as a function of the hardware resources available. The architecture is predicated on a model of computation ...

    • ASCA Observations of GX 354? 0 and KS 1731? 260 

      Narita, T.; Grindlay, J. E.; Barret, D. (American Astronomical Society, 2001)
      We report on ASCA observations of the low-mass X-ray binaries GX 354-0 and KS 1731-260. The spectrum of GX 354-0 is best described as a power law or a Comptonized spectrum with tau similar to 5 and kT similar to 8 keV and ...
