Cross-Cultural Examinations of Children’s Perceptions of Racially Ambiguous Asian/White Faces
(2018-04)Race is a salient social category that influences how people interact, but this becomes more complex for individuals of mixed race heritage are viewed because they belong to multiple racial in-groups and often appear racially ... -
Cross-cultural variability of component processes in autobiographical remembering: Japan, Turkey, and the USA.
(Memory, 2007-07)Although the underlying mechanics of autobiographical memory may be identical across cultures, the processing of information differs. Undergraduates from Japan, Turkey, and the USA rated 30 autobiographical memories on 15 ... -
Cross-District Coordination and Party System Fragmentation -- Evidence from Polish Municipal Council Elections
(2019)The conventional wisdom in electoral studies links proportional representation to multi-party systems and plurality rules to bipartism. Although this prediction fits the dynamics of political competition well at the district ... -
Cross-Domain Multitask Learning with Latent Probit Models
Learning multiple tasks across heterogeneous domains is a challenging problem since the feature space may not be the same for different tasks. We assume the data in multiple tasks are generated from a latent common domain ... -
Cross-function and same-function alliances: How does alliance structure affect the behavior of partnering firms?
(Management Science, 2010-02-01)Firms collaborate to develop and deliver new products. These collaborations vary in terms of the similarity of the competencies that partnering firms bring to the alliance. In same-function alliances, partnering firms have ... -
Cross-hemispheric collaboration and segregation associated with task difficulty as revealed by structural and functional connectivity.
(J Neurosci, 2015-05-27)Although it is known that brain regions in one hemisphere may interact very closely with their corresponding contralateral regions (collaboration) or operate relatively independent of them (segregation), the specific brain ... -
Cross-modal stimulus conflict: the behavioral effects of stimulus input timing in a visual-auditory Stroop task.
(PLoS One, 2013)Cross-modal processing depends strongly on the compatibility between different sensory inputs, the relative timing of their arrival to brain processing components, and on how attention is allocated. In this behavioral study, ... -
Cross-national comparison of sex differences in health and mortality in Denmark, Japan and the US.
(Eur J Epidemiol, 2010-07)The present study aims to compare the direction and magnitude of sex differences in mortality and major health dimensions across Denmark, Japan and the US. The Human Mortality Database was used to examine sex differences ... -
Cross-platform analysis of HIV-1 RNA data generated by a multicenter assay validation study with wide geographic representation.
(J Clin Microbiol, 2012-08)HIV-1 RNA quantitation continues to be extremely important for monitoring patients infected with HIV-1, and a number of assays have been utilized for this purpose. Differences in assay performance with respect to log(10) ... -
Cross-Scatter in Dual-Cone X-ray Imaging: Magnitude, Avoidance, Correction, and Artifact Reduction
(2012)Onboard cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become a widespread means of three-dimensional target localization for radiation therapy; however, it is susceptible to metal artifacts and beam-hardening artifacts that can ... -
Cross-section comparisons of cloaks designed by transformation optical and optical conformal mapping approaches
(Journal of Optics, 2011-02-01)We review several approaches to optical invisibility designed using transformation optics (TO) and optical conformal mapping (CM) techniques. TO is a general framework for solving inverse scattering problems based on mimicking ... -
Cross-sectional CT Assessment of the Extent of Injectate Spread at CT Fluoroscopy-guided Cervical Epidural Interlaminar Steroid Injections.
(Radiology, 2019-07-16)Background Previous studies analyzed contrast agent spread during cervical interlaminar epidural steroid injections (CILESIs) by using planar fluoroscopy and reported wide variance of the rate of spread to the ventral epidural ... -
Cross-Stock Comparisons of the Relative Contribution of Jumps to Total Price Variance
(2012-04-15)This paper uses high-frequency price data to study the relative contribution of jumps to the total volatility of an equity. In particular, it systematically compares the relative contribution of jumps across a panel of ... -
Crossing the Atlantic: Carl Schenck and the Formation of American Forestry
(2017-05-04)This thesis explores the work of German forester Carl Alwin Schenck (1868-1955) in the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century and his contribution to the formation of American forestry. Crossing the Atlantic ... -
Crosstalk rejection in full-field optical coherence tomography using spatially incoherent illumination with a partially coherent source
(Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging - Proceedings of SPIE, 2010-05-03)The recent advent of ultra high frame rate cameras gives rise to the possibility of constructing swept source full-field OCT systems with achievable volume rates approaching 10Hz and net A-scan rates approaching ... -
Crowdfunding for Chinese Social and Environmental Small and Growing Businesses: An Investigation of the Feasibility of using U.S.-Based Crowdfunding Platforms
(2014-04-16)Background China’s “open door” policy transformed the country’s economy, but at a social and environmental cost. Chinese Social and Environmental (SE) Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs) can help China face these challenges ... -
Crowdfunding the Azolla fern genome project: a grassroots approach.
(Gigascience, 2014)Much of science progresses within the tight boundaries of what is often seen as a "black box". Though familiar to funding agencies, researchers and the academic journals they publish in, it is an entity that outsiders rarely ... -
Cruise Line Wastewater Discharge in the Caribbean Region
(2008-04-25)Cruise ship vacations provide a source of worldwide recreation for over 11 million passengers annually. However, there is particular concern over the cumulative environmental impacts these vessels have on the marine environment. ... -
Cryptococcal cell morphology affects host cell interactions and pathogenicity.
(PLoS Pathog, 2010-06-17)Cryptococcus neoformans is a common life-threatening human fungal pathogen. The size of cryptococcal cells is typically 5 to 10 microm. Cell enlargement was observed in vivo, producing cells up to 100 microm. These morphological ...
