    DeBoo, J. C.; Holland, C.; Rhodes, T. L.; Schmitz, L.; Wang, G.; White, Anne E.; Austin, M. E.; Doyle, E. J.; Hillesheim, J.; Peebles, W. A.; Petty, C. C.; Yan, Z.; Zeng, L. (American Institute of Physics, 2010-03)
    The local value of a/L[subscript Te], a turbulence drive term, was modulated with electron cyclotron heating in L-mode discharges on DIII-D [ J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002) ] and the density and electron temperature ...
  • Probing shear-banding transitions of the VCM model for entangled wormlike micellar solutions using large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) deformations 
    Zhou, Lin; Cook, L. Pamela; McKinley, Gareth H. (Elsevier Science Direct, 2010-08)
    We explore the use of large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) deformation to probe the dynamics of shear-banding in soft entangled materials, primarily wormlike micellar solutions which are prone to breakage and disentanglement ...
  • Probing strong-field gravity and black holes with gravitational waves 
    Hughes, Scott A. (Rikkyo University, Tokyo, Japan, 2009-11)
    Gravitational wave observations will be excellent tools for making precise measurements of processes that occur in very strong- field regions of space time. Extreme mass ratio systems, formed by the capture of a stellar ...
  • Probing strongly interacting atomic gases with energetic atoms 
    Nishida, Yusuke (American Physical Society, 2012-05)
    We investigate properties of an energetic atom propagating through strongly interacting atomic gases. The operator product expansion is used to systematically compute a quasiparticle energy and its scattering rate both in ...
  • Probing structural and dynamical transitions in polymer globules by force 
    Sing, Charles E.; Einert, Thomas R.; Netz, Ronald R.; Alexander-Katz, Alfredo (American Physical Society, 2011-04)
    The dynamics of proteins and biopolymers play a crucial role in their function. By using Brownian dynamics we show that polymer globules, which serve as a model system for proteins, undergo a size-dependent dynamical ...
  • Probing substituent effects in aryl-aryl interactions using stereoselective diels-alder cycloadditions 
    Wheeler, Steven E.; McNeil, Anne J.; Muller, Peter; Swager, Timothy M.; Houk, K. N. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-02)
    Stereoselective Diels−Alder cycloadditions that probe substituent effects in aryl−aryl sandwich complexes were studied experimentally and theoretically. Computations on model systems demonstrate that the stereoselectivity ...
  • Probing the absolute mass scale of neutrinos 
    Formaggio, Joseph A.; KATRIN Collaboration (American Institute of Physics, 2012-07)
    The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is the next generation tritium beta decay experiment with sub-eV sensitivity to make a direct, model independent measurement of the neutrino mass. The principle of the ...
  • Probing the Cytoadherence of Malaria Infected Red Blood Cells under Flow 
    Xu, Xiaofeng; Efremov, Artem K.; Li, Ang; Lai, Lipeng; Dao, Ming; Lim, Chwee Teck; Cao, Jianshu (Public Library of Science, 2013-05)
    Malaria is one of the most widespread and deadly human parasitic diseases caused by the Plasmodium (P.) species with the P.falciparum being the most deadly. The parasites are capable of invading red blood cells (RBCs) ...
  • Probing the High Momentum Component of the Deuteron at High Q[superscript 2] 
    Sulkosky, Vincent (American Physical Society, 2011-12)
    The [superscript 2]H(e,e′p)n cross section at a momentum transfer of 3.5  (GeV/c)[superscript 2] was measured over a kinematical range that made it possible to study this reaction for a set of fixed missing momenta as a ...
  • Probiotic Bacteria Induce a ‘Glow of Health’ 
    Levkovich, Tatiana; Poutahidis, Theofilos; Smillie, Christopher; Varian, Bernard; Ibrahim, Yassin; Lakritz, Jessica; Alm, Eric J.; Erdman, Susan E. (Public Library of Science, 2013-01)
    Radiant skin and hair are universally recognized as indications of good health. However, this ‘glow of health’ display remains poorly understood. We found that feeding of probiotic bacteria to aged mice induced integumentary ...
  • Procedural Modeling of Structurally-Sound Masonry Buildings 
    Durand, Fredo; Whiting, Emily Jing Wei; Ochsendorf, John A. (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2009-12)
    We introduce structural feasibility into procedural modeling of buildings. This allows for more realistic structural models that can be interacted with in physical simulations. While existing structural analysis tools focus ...
  • A Process Algebra Genetic Algorithm 
    Karaman, Sertac; Shima, Tal; Frazzoli, Emilio (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-07)
    A genetic algorithm that utilizes process algebra for coding of solution chromosomes and for defining evolutionary based operators is presented. The algorithm is applicable to mission planning and optimization problems. ...
  • A Process for Predicting Manhole Events in Manhattan 
    Isaac, Delfina; Ierome, Steve; Dutta, Haimonti; Radeva, Axinia; Passonneau, Rebecca J.; Rudin, Cynthia (Springer Netherlands, 2010-07)
    We present a knowledge discovery and data mining process developed as part of the Columbia/Con Edison project on manhole event prediction. This process can assist with real-world prioritization problems that involve raw ...
  • Processing and properties of ytterbium-erbium silicate thin film gain media 
    Kimerling, Lionel C.; Vanhoutte, Michiel; Wang, Bing; Michel, Jurgen (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-09)
    The structural and photoluminescence properties of ytterbium-erbium silicate thin films have been investigated. The films were fabricated by RF-magnetron co-sputtering of Er[subscript 2]O[subscript 3], Yb[subscript ...

    Marcus, Adam; Bernstein, Michael S.; Badar, Osama; Karger, David R.; Madden, Samuel R.; Miller, Robert C. (Association for Computing Machinery, 2011-12)
    Microblogs such as Twitter provide a valuable stream of diverse user-generated data. While the data extracted from Twitter is generally timely and accurate, the process by which developers extract structured data from the ...
  • Processing Chinese relative clauses in context 
    Gibson, Edward A.; Wu, H.-H. Iris (Taylor & Francis Group, 2011-03)

  • Product-Free Subsets of Groups, Then and Now 
    Kedlaya, Kiran S. (American Mathematical Society, 2009-01)
    Let G be a group. A subset S of G is product-free if there do not exist a, b, c ∈ S (not necessarily distinct1) such that ab = c. One can ask about the existence of large product-free subsets for various groups, such ...
