Arsenic atom location on passivated silicon (111) surfaces
(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, Enclosure and the Cura Monialium: Prolegomena in the Guise of a Postscript
(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
(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 ... -

Artificial insect wings of diverse morphology for flapping-wing micro air vehicles
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
ASCA observations of two steep soft X-ray quasars
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1998)Steep soft X-ray (0.1-2 keV) quasars share several unusual properties: narrow Balmer lines, strong FeII emission, large and fast X-ray variability, rather steep 2-10 keV spectrum. These intriguing objects have been suggested ... -
Ascending Price Vickrey Auctions for General Valuations
(Elsevier, 2007)Ascending price auctions involving a single price path and buyers paying their final bid price cannot achieve the Vickrey–Clarke–Groves (VCG) outcome in the combinatorial auctions setting. Using a notion called universal ... -
An Ascending-Price Generalized Vickrey Auction
(2002)A simple characterization of the equilibrium conditions required to compute Vickrey payments in the Combinatorial Allocation Problem leads to an ascending price Generalized Vickrey Auction. The ascending auc- tion, ... -
The Ascomycota Tree of Life: A Phylum Wide Phylogeny Clarifies the Origin and Evolution of Fundamental Reproductive and Ecological Traits
(Oxford University Press, 2009)We present a 6-gene, 420-species maximum-likelihood phylogeny of Ascomycota, the largest phylum of Fungi. This analysis is the most taxonomically complete to date with species sampled from all 15 currently circumscribed ...
