(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2016-10)
    Background: Decision analysis—a systematic approach to solving complex problems —offers tools and frameworks to support decision making that are increasingly being applied to environmental challenges. Alternatives analysis ...
  • Advancing a sociotechnical systems approach to workplace safety – developing the conceptual framework 
    Carayon, Pascale; Hancock, Peter; Leveson, Nancy; Noy, Ian; Sznelwar, Laerte; van Hootegem, Geert; Leveson, Nancy G (Taylor & Francis, 2015-04)
    Traditional efforts to deal with the enormous problem of workplace safety have proved insufficient, as they have tended to neglect the broader sociotechnical environment that surrounds workers. Here, we advocate a ...
  • Advancing Typology of Computer-Supported Influence: Moderation Effects in Socially Influencing Systems 
    Stibe, Agnis (Springer, Cham, 2015-06)
    Persuasive technologies are commonly engineered to change behavior and attitudes of users through persuasion and social influence without using coercion and deception. While earlier research has been extensively focused ...
  • The Advantages of Not Entangling Macroscopic Diamonds at Room Temperature 
    Brezinski, Mark E. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
    The recent paper entitled by K. C. Lee et al. (2011) establishes nonlocal macroscopic quantum correlations, which they term “entanglement”, under ambient conditions. Photon(s)-phonon entanglements are established within ...
  • Advantages of Silicon Photonics for Multi-socket Systems 
    Stojanovic, Vladimir Marko; Batten, Christopher; Joshi, Ajay J.; Beamer, Scott; Asanovic, Krste (Association for Computing Machinery, 2009-06)
    Future single-board multi-socket systems may be unable to deliver the needed memory bandwidth electrically due to power limitations, which will hurt their ability to drive performance improvements. Energy efficient o ...
  • Adversarial hypothesis testing and a quantum stein's lemma for restricted measurements 
    Harrow, Aram W.; Lee, James R.; Peres, Yuval; Brandao, Fernando G.S.L. (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2014-01)
    Recall the classical hypothesis testing setting with two convex sets of probability distributions P and Q. One receives either n i.i.d. samples from a distribution p ∈ P or from a distribution q ∈ Q and wants to decide ...
  • The adversarial joint source-channel problem 
    Kochman, Yuval; Mazumdar, Arya; Polyanskiy, Yury (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2012-07)
    This paper introduces the problem of joint source-channel coding in the setup where channel errors are adversarial and the distortion is worst case. Unlike the situation in the case of stochastic source-channel model, the ...
  • Adverse Events in Robotic Surgery: A Retrospective Study of 14 Years of FDA Data 
    Alemzadeh, Homa; Raman, Jaishankar; Kalbarczyk, Zbigniew; Iyer, Ravishankar K.; Leveson, Nancy G (Public Library of Science, 2016-04)
    Background Use of robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery has rapidly increased during the last decade. Understanding the causes of adverse events and their impact on patients in robot-assisted surgery will help ...
  • Advertising Bans and the Substitutability of Online and Offline Advertising 
    Goldfarb, Avi; Tucker, Catherine Elizabeth (American Marketing Association, 2011-04)
    The authors examine whether the growth of the Internet has reduced the effectiveness of government regulation of advertising. They combine nonexperimental variation in local regulation of offline alcohol advertising with ...
  • Advertising in a Competitive Market: The Role of Product Standards, Customer Learning, and Switching Costs 
    Anderson, Eric T.; Simester, Duncan (American Marketing Association, 2013-08)
    Standard models of competition predict that firms will sell less when competitors target their customers with advertising. This is particularly true in mature markets with many competitors that sell relatively undifferentiated ...
  • Advice coins for classical and quantum computation 
    Aaronson, Scott; Drucker, Andrew Donald (Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2011-06)
    We study the power of classical and quantum algorithms equipped with nonuniform advice, in the form of a coin whose bias encodes useful information. This question takes on particular importance in the quantum case, due to ...
  • AE9, AP9 and SPM: New Models for Specifying the Trapped Energetic Particle and Space Plasma Environment 
    Friedel, R.; Whelan, P.; Madden, D.; Morley, S.; Su, Yi-Jiun; O’Brien, T. P.; Huston, S. L.; Johnston, W. R.; Guild, T. B.; Lindstrom, C. D.; Roth, C. J.; Quinn, R. A.; Ginet, Gregory P. (Springer Netherlands, 2013-03)
    The radiation belts and plasma in the Earth’s magnetosphere pose hazards to satellite systems which restrict design and orbit options with a resultant impact on mission performance and cost. For decades the standard space ...
  • Aerobic Glycolysis: Meeting the Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation 
    Vander Heiden, Matthew G.; Lunt, Sophia Yunkyungkwon (Annual Reviews, 2011-11)
    Warburg's observation that cancer cells exhibit a high rate of glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen (aerobic glycolysis) sparked debate over the role of glycolysis in normal and cancer cells. Although it has been ...
  • The aerodynamics of the beautiful game 
    Bush, John W. M. (Les Editions de l’Ecole Polytechnique, 2013)
    We consider the aerodynamics of football, specifically, the interaction between a ball in flight and the ambient air. Doing so allows one to account for the characteristic range and trajectories of balls in flight, as well ...
  • Aerosol-Assisted Plasma Deposition of Hydrophobic Polycations Makes Surfaces Highly Antimicrobial 
    Liu, Harris; Kim, Yoojeong; Mello, Kerrianne; Lovaasen, John; Shah, Apoorva; Rice, Norman; Pappas, Daphne; Yim, Jacqueline H.; Klibanov, Alexander M (Springer US, 2013-10)
    The currently used multistep chemical synthesis for making surfaces antimicrobial by attaching to them hydrophobic polycations is replaced herein by an aerosol-assisted plasma deposition procedure. To this end, ...
  • Aerosol effects on the photochemistry in Mexico City during MCMA-2006/MILAGRO campaign 
    Li, Guohui; Molina, Luisa Tan; Bei, Naifang; Tie, Xuexi (European Geosciences Union, 2011-06)
