Creation of a Bose-condensed gas of ⁸⁷Rb by laser cooling
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2017-11)Protocols for attaining quantum degeneracy in atomic gases almost exclusively rely on evaporative cooling, a time-consuming final step associated with substantial atom loss. We demonstrate direct laser cooling of a gas of ... -
The Creation of the American Playground Movement by Reform Women, 1885–1930: A Feminist Analysis of Materialized Ideological Transformations in Gender Identities and Power Dynamics
(Springer US, 2017-06)Feminist research rediscovers the full scope of leadership by reform women and their organizations in initiating the American playground movement by creating playgrounds across the country. The multiple meanings of play ... -
Creative Ageing Cities: Place Design with Older People in Asian Cities: Foreward
(Routledge Ltd., 2018-01)Ageing population and rapid urbanisation are the two major demographic shifts in today's world. Architectural designs and urban policies have to deal with issues of an ever larger elderly population living in the cities, ... -
CreativeGAN: Editing Generative Adversarial Networks for Creative Design Synthesis
(ASME International, 2021)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Modern machine learning techniques, such as deep neural networks, are transforming many disciplines ranging from image recognition to language understanding, by ... -
CREB regulates excitability and the allocation of memory to subsets of neurons in the amygdala
(Nature Publishing Group, 2009-09)The mechanisms that determine how information is allocated to specific regions and cells in the brain are fundamentally important for memory capacity, storage and retrieval, but are poorly understood. Here, we manipulated ... -
A CREB3–ARF4 signalling pathway mediates the response to Golgi stress and susceptibility to pathogens
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-11)Treatment of cells with brefeldin A (BFA) blocks secretory vesicle transport and causes a collapse of the Golgi apparatus. To gain more insight into the cellular mechanisms mediating BFA toxicity, we conducted a genome-wide ... -
Creb5 establishes the competence for Prg4 expression in articular cartilage
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A hallmark of cells comprising the superficial zone of articular cartilage is their expression of lubricin, encoded by the <jats:italic>Prg4</jats:italic> gene, that lubricates the ... -
Crebinostat: A novel cognitive enhancer that inhibits histone deacetylase activity and modulates chromatin-mediated neuroplasticity
(Elsevier, 2012-07)Long-term memory formation is known to be critically dependent upon de novo gene expression in the brain. As a consequence, pharmacological enhancement of the transcriptional processes mediating long-term memory formation ... -
The Credibility Revolution in Empirical Economics: How Better Research Design is Taking the Con out of Econometrics
(American Economic Association, 2010)Just over a quarter century ago, Edward Leamer (1983) reflected on the state of empirical work in economics. He urged empirical researchers to “take the con out of econometrics” and memorably observed (p. 37): “Hardly ... -
Credible School Value-Added with Undersubscribed School Lotteries
(MIT Press - Journals, 2021)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>We introduce two empirical strategies harnessing the randomness in school assignment mechanisms to measure school value-added. The first estimator controls for the ... -
Credit Traps
(American Economic Association, 2012-10)This paper studies the limitations of monetary policy in stimulating credit and investment. We show that, under certain circumstances, unconventional monetary policies fail in that liquidity injections into the banking ... -

Creep of Bulk C-S-H: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015-06)Understanding the physical origin of creep in calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) is of primary importance, both for fundamental and practical interest. Here, we present a new method, based on molecular dynamics simulation, ... -
Creep of CarbFix basalt: influence of rock–fluid interaction
(Copernicus GmbH, 2022)<jats:p>Abstract. Geological carbon sequestration provides permanent CO2 storage to mitigate the current high concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2 mineralization in basalts has been proven to be one of the most ... -
Criminal Justice or Public Health: A Comparison of the Representation of the Crack Cocaine and Opioid Epidemics in the Media
(Duke University Press, 2019-12-03)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Context: The opioid epidemic is a major US public health crisis. Its scope prompted significant public outreach, but this response triggered a series of journalistic ... -
Crisanti–Sommers Formula and Simultaneous Symmetry Breaking in Multi-species Spherical Spin Glasses
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2022-06-22)Abstract There is a rich history of expressing the limiting free energy of mean-field spin glasses as a variational formula over probability measures on [0, 1], where the measure represents the similarity ... -
The crisis in employment and consumer demand: Reconciliation with environmental sustainability
(Elsevier, 2012-03)This paper argues that a sustainable industrial system depends not only on good environmental and public health outcomes, but also on adequate employment and earning capacity in a well-functioning and equitable economic ... -
A Crisis-Responsive Framework for Medical Device Development Applied to the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-03)The disruption of conventional manufacturing, supply, and distribution channels during the COVID-19 pandemic caused widespread shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE) and other medical supplies. These shortages ...
