From the Information Bottleneck to the Privacy Funnel
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-11)We focus on the privacy-utility trade-off encountered by users who wish to disclose some information to an analyst, that is correlated with their private data, in the hope of receiving some utility. We rely on a general ... -
From the Same Tree: Gender and Iconography in Representations of Violence in Beloved
(University of Chicago Press, The, 2011)Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved capitalizes on the simultaneous gender neutrality and semantic multiplicity of tree images associated with rape and lynching in order to eschew any hierarchy of black oppression, which might ... -
From User Perceptions to Technical Improvement: Enabling People Who Stutter to Better Use Speech Recognition
(ACM|Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2023-04-19) -
From wrinkling to global buckling of a ring on a curved substrate
(Elsevier, 2016-02)We present a combined analytical approach and numerical study on the stability of a ring bound to an annular elastic substrate, which contains a circular cavity. The system is loaded by depressurizing the inner cavity. The ... -
From x-ray telescopes to neutron scattering: Using axisymmetric mirrors to focus a neutron beam
(Elsevier, 2010-12)We demonstrate neutron beam focusing by axisymmetric mirror systems based on a pair of mirrors consisting of a confocal ellipsoid and hyperboloid. Such a system, known as a Wolter mirror configuration, is commonly used ... -
From “Green Growth” to sound policies: An overview
(Elsevier, 2012-09)“Green growth” is an attractive slogan with a variety of possible meanings. This essay critically examines several potential meanings of this slogan and provides a brief overview of some of the main implications of the ... -
Front- and back-illuminated X-ray CCD performance in lowand high-earth orbit: Performance trends of Suzaku XIS and Chandra ACIS detectors
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2009-07)Since the launch of the Suzaku X-ray astronomy satellite into low- earth orbit in July, 2005, the performance of the CCD detectors in the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) detectors have slowly degraded, as expected, due ... -
Front-electrode design for efficient near-field thermophotovoltaics
(SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2019)© 2019 SPIE. In near-field TPV cells, the effects of the necessary front electrode are considered and shown to be of great importance. The electrode tradeoff between required high dc conductivity but low photonic absorption ... -

The front-end of IsoDAR
(Sissa Medialab, 2017-02)The Isotope Decay-At-Rest (IsoDAR) experiment is a cyclotron based neutrino oscillation exper- iment that is capable of decisively searching for low-mass sterile neutrinos. This paper outlines two new approaches that the ... -
Frontal Dynamics in the Alboran Sea: 2. Processes for Vertical Velocities Development
(American Geophysical Union, 2022-03)Significant lateral density gradients occur throughout the year in the Alboran Sea, giving rise to two main fronts: the Western Alboran Gyre Front (WAGF) and Eastern Alboran Gyre Front (EAGF), where large vertical velocities ... -
Frontal language areas do not emerge in the absence of temporal language areas: A case study of an individual born without a left temporal lobe
(Elsevier BV, 2022)Language processing relies on a left-lateralized fronto-temporal brain network. How this network emerges ontogenetically remains debated. We asked whether frontal language areas emerge in the absence of temporal language ... -
Frontal neurons modulate memory retrieval across widely varying temporal scales
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2015-05)Once a memory has formed, it is thought to undergo a gradual transition within the brain from short- to long-term storage. This putative process, however, also poses a unique problem to the memory system in that the same ... -
Frontier Detection and Reachability Analysis for Efficient 2D Graph-SLAM Based Active Exploration
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)© 2020 IEEE. We propose an integrated approach to active exploration by exploiting the Cartographer method as the base SLAM module for submap creation and performing efficient frontier detection in the geometrically ... -

Frontiers of Health Policy: Digital Data and Personalized Medicine
(University of Chicago Press, 2017-01)This paper argues that due to two unstoppable mechanisms, some of the most pressing future questions in health policy will relate to the use of digital technologies to analyze data concerning patient health. The first ... -
Frontiers: How effective is third-party consumer profiling? evidence from field studies
(2019-01-01)© 2019 INFORMS. Data brokers often use online browsing records to create digital consumer profiles that they sell to marketers as predefined audiences for ad targeting. However, this process is a “black box”—little is known ... -
Frontogenesis at Estuarine Junctions
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01)Observations of Newark Bay, a sub-estuary network characterized by multiple junctions, reveal that fronts are generated by tidal flow through transitions in channel geometry. All fronts substantially contribute to along-channel ... -
Frost formation and ice adhesion on superhydrophobic surfaces
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2010-12)We study frost formation and its impact on icephobic properties of superhydrophobic surfaces. Using an environmental scanning electron microscope, we show that frost nucleation occurs indiscriminately on superhydrophobic ... -
Frustrated Lewis Pair Stabilized Phosphoryl Nitride (NPO), a Monophosphorus Analogue of Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2021-12-22)Phosphoryl nitride (NPO) is a highly reactive intermediate, and its chemistry has only been explored under matrix isolation conditions so far. Here we report the synthesis of an anthracene (A) and phosphoryl azide based ...
