Effect of Virulence Factors on the Photodynamic Inactivation of Cryptococcus neoformans
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01)Opportunistic fungal pathogens may cause an array of superficial infections or serious invasive infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogen causing cryptococcosis in HIV/AIDS ... -
Effect of Wall Boundary Conditions on a Wall-Modeled Large-Eddy Simulation in a Finite-Difference Framework
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-03-10)We studied the effect of wall boundary conditions on the statistics in a wall-modeled large-eddy simulation (WMLES) of turbulent channel flows. Three different forms of the boundary condition based on the mean stress-balance ... -
Effect of weather on pedestrian trip count and duration: City-scale evaluations using mobile phone application data
(Elsevier, 2017-07)We examined the association between meteorological (weather) conditions in a given locale and pedestrian trips frequency and duration, through the use of locative digital data. These associations were determined for ... -
The Effect of Work First Job Placements on the Distribution of Earnings: An Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression Approach
(University of Chicago Press, 2016-10)Government employment programs for low-skilled workers typically emphasize rapid placement of participants into jobs, of which many are temporary-help jobs. Using data from Detroit’s welfare to-work program and the ... -
Effect of working environment and procedural strategies on mechanical performance of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds
(Elsevier BV, 2018-10)Polymeric bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS), at their early stages of invention, were considered as a promising revolution in interventional cardiology. However, they failed dramatically compared to metal stents showing ... -
The effect of working memory maintenance on long-term memory
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05)Initially inspired by the Atkinson and Shiffrin model, researchers have spent a half century investigating whether actively maintaining an item in working memory (WM) leads to improved subsequent long-term memory (LTM). ... -
An Effective Algorithmic Framework for Near Optimal Multi-robot Path Planning

Effective Confining Potential of Quantum States in Disordered Media
(American Physical Society, 2016-02)The amplitude of localized quantum states in random or disordered media may exhibit long-range exponential decay. We present here a theory that unveils the existence of an effective potential which finely governs the ... -
An effective coreset compression algorithm for large scale sensor networks
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2012-04)The wide availability of networked sensors such as GPS and cameras is enabling the creation of sensor networks that generate huge amounts of data. For example, vehicular sensor networks where in-car GPS sensor probes are ... -
Effective Diffusivity in Baroclinic Flow
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-03)Large-scale chaotic stirring stretches tracer contours into filaments containing fine spatial scales until small-scale diffusive processes dissipate tracer variance. Quantification of tracer transport in such circumstances ... -
Effective Drag in Rotating, Poorly Conducting Plasma Turbulence
(American Astronomical Society, 2022)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Despite the increasing sophistication of numerical models of hot Jupiter atmospheres, the large timescale separation required in simulating the wide range in ... -
Effective elastic properties of periodic hexagonal honeycombs
(Elsevier, 2015-07)We investigate the elastic behavior of periodic hexagonal honeycombs over a wide range of relative densities and cell geometries, using both analytical and numerical approaches. Previous modeling approaches are reviewed ... -
Effective field theory and projective construction for Z[subscript k] parafermion fractional quantum Hall states
(American Physical Society, 2010-04)The projective construction is a powerful approach to deriving the bulk and edge field theories of non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states and yields an understanding of non-Abelian FQH states in terms of the ... -
An effective field theory for forward scattering and factorization violation
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2016-08)Starting with QCD, we derive an effective field theory description for forward scattering and factorization violation as part of the soft-collinear effective field theory (SCET) for high energy scattering. These phenomena ... -
Effective Field Theory for jet substructure in heavy ion collisions
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2021-11-10)Abstract I develop an Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework to compute jet substructure observables for heavy ion collision experiments. As an example, I consider dijet events that ... -
An effective field theory for non-maximal quantum chaos
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2023-11-13)Abstract In non-maximally quantum chaotic systems, the exponential behavior of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) results from summing over exchanges of an infinite tower of higher ... -
Effective Field Theory for Rydberg Polaritons
(American Physical Society, 2016-09)We develop an effective field theory (EFT) to describe the few- and many-body propagation of one-dimensional Rydberg polaritons. We show that the photonic transmission through the Rydberg medium can be found by mapping the ... -
Effective field theory of dark matter and structure formation: Semianalytical results
(American Physical Society, 2014-02)Complimenting recent work on the effective field theory of cosmological large scale structures, here we present detailed approximate analytical results and further pedagogical understanding of the method. We start from the ... -
Effective field theory of dissipative fluids
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017-09)We develop an effective field theory for dissipative fluids which governs the dynamics of long-lived gapless modes associated with conserved quantities. The resulting theory gives a path integral formulation of fluctuating ... -
Effective field theory of dissipative fluids (II): classical limit, dynamical KMS symmetry and entropy current
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2017-09)In this paper we further develop the fluctuating hydrodynamics proposed in [1] in a number of ways. We first work out in detail the classical limit of the hydrodynamical action, which exhibits many simplifications. In ...
