Value-of-information aware active task assignment
(SPIE, 2013-05)This paper discusses the problem of robust allocation of unmanned vehicles (T.N) to targets with uncertainties. In particular, the team consists of heterogeneous vehicles with different exploration and exploitation abilities. ... -
Values and Inequality: Prosocial Jobs and the College Wage Premium
(SAGE Publications, 2022)<jats:p> Employers often recruit workers by invoking corporate social responsibility, organizational purpose, or other claims to a prosocial mission. In an era of substantial labor market inequality, commentators typically ... -
Valuing Possibility: South-South Cooperation and Participatory Budgeting in Maputo, Mozambique
(Routledge, 2015)While the novelty or distinctness of South-South Cooperation (SSC) as a development paradigm is contestable, its relevance for urban planning is not. SSC among cities in the 21st century is growing, and with it reference ... -
The Van Allen Probes Electric Field and Waves Instrument: Science Results, Measurements, and Access to Data
(Springer Netherlands, 2022-11-25)Abstract The Van Allen Probes Electric Fields and Waves (EFW) instrument provided measurements of electric fields and spacecraft floating potentials over a wide dynamic range from DC to 6.5 kHz near the ... -
Van Allen Probes Observations of Oxygen Ions at the Geospace Plume
(Frontiers Media SA, 2021-07)The geospace plume couples the ionosphere, plasmasphere, and magnetosphere from sub-auroral regions to the magnetopause, on polar field lines, and into the magnetotail. We describe Van Allen Probes observations of ionospheric ... -
Van Allen Probes observations of prompt MeV radiation belt electron acceleration in nonlinear interactions with VLF chorus
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2017-01)Prompt recovery of MeV (millions of electron Volts) electron populations in the poststorm core of the outer terrestrial radiation belt involves local acceleration of a seed population of energetic electrons in interactions ... -
A Van der Waals Interface Hosting Two Groups of Magnetic Skyrmions
(Wiley, 2022-04)Multiple magnetic skyrmion phases add an additional degree of freedom for skyrmion-based ultrahigh-density spin memory devices. Extending the field to 2D van der Waals magnets is a rewarding challenge, where the realizable ... -
van der Waals Stacking-Induced Topological Phase Transition in Layered Ternary Transition Metal Chalcogenides
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-12)Novel materials with nontrivial electronic and photonic band topology are crucial for realizing novel devices with low power consumption and heat dissipation and quantum computing free of decoherence. Here, we theoretically ... -
Vanishing carrier-envelope-phase-sensitive response in optical-field photoemission from plasmonic nanoantennas
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)© 2019, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. At the surfaces of nanostructures, enhanced electric fields can drive optical-field photoemission and thereby generate and control electrical ... -
VANISHING OF THE NEGATIVE HOMOTOPY -THEORY OF QUOTIENT SINGULARITIES
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2017-05)Making use of Gruson–Raynaud’s technique of ‘platification par éclatement’, Kerz and Strunk proved that the negative homotopy -theory groups of a Noetherian scheme of Krull dimension vanish below . In this article, making ... -
Vapor Trapping Membrane for Reverse Osmosis
(ASME International, 2010-11)This paper presents a concept for desalination by reverse osmosis (RO) using a vapor-trapping membrane. The membrane is composed of hydrophobic nanopores and separates the feed salt water and the fresh water (permeate) ... -
Var-CNN: A Data-Efficient Website Fingerprinting Attack Based on Deep Learning
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2019-07)In recent years, there have been several works that use website fingerprinting techniques to enable a local adversary to determine which website a Tor user visits. While the current state-of-the-art attack, which uses deep ... -
Variability and anatomical specificity of the orbitofrontothalamic fibers of passage in the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS): precision care for patient-specific tractography-guided targeting of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
(Springer US, 2015-10)Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure that can reduce symptoms in medically intractable obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Conceptually, DBS of the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS) region ... -
Variability and quasi-decadal changes in the methane budget over the period 2000–2012
(Copernicus Publications, 2017-09)Following the recent Global Carbon Project (GCP) synthesis of the decadal methane (CH₄) budget over 2000-2012 (Saunois et al., 2016), we analyse here the same dataset with a focus on quasi-decadal and inter-annual variability ... -
Variability in gene expression underlies incomplete penetrance
(Nature Publishing Group, 2010-02)The phenotypic differences between individual organisms can often be ascribed to underlying genetic and environmental variation. However, even genetically identical organisms in homogeneous environments vary, indicating ... -
Variability in GRMHD Simulations of Sgr A* : Implications for EHT Closure Phase Observations
(IOP Publishing, 2017-07)Closure phases along different baseline triangles carry a large amount of information regarding the structures of the images of black holes in interferometric observations with the Event Horizon Telescope. We use long time ... -
Variability in Microbial Community Composition and Function Between Different Niches Within a Coral Reef
(Springer US, 2014-01)To explore how microbial community composition and function varies within a coral reef ecosystem, we performed metagenomic sequencing of seawater from four niches across Heron Island Reef, within the Great Barrier Reef. ... -
Variability in pharmacologically-induced coma for treatment of refractory status epilepticus
(Public Library of Science, 2018-10)Objective To characterize the amount of EEG suppression achieved in refractory status epilepticus (RSE) patients treated with pharmacologically-induced coma (PIC). Methods We analyzed EEG recordings from 35 RSE patients ... -
Variability leads to overestimation of mean summaries
(Springer US, 2021-03-26)Abstract Research on ensemble perception has shown that people can extract both mean and variance information, but much less is understand how these two different types of summaries interact with one another. ... -
Variability of CONUS Lightning in 2003–12 and Associated Impacts
(American Meteorological Society, 2015-01)Changes in lightning characteristics over the conterminous United States (CONUS) are examined to support the National Climate Assessment (NCA) program. Details of the variability of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning characteristics ...
