(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1996) -
A 15.65-solar-mass black hole in an eclipsing binary in the nearby spiral galaxy M 33
(Nature Research (part of Springer Nature), 2007)Stellar-mass black holes are found in X-ray-emitting binary systems, where their mass can be determined from the dynamics of their companion stars(1-3). Models of stellar evolution have difficulty producing black holes in ... -
A 200-kb region of human chromosome 22q11.2 confers antipsychotic-responsive behavioral abnormalities in mice
(National Academy of Sciences, 2005) -
A 25 Year Prospective Study of Plasma Adiponectin and Leptin Concentrations and Prostate Cancer Risk and Survival
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 2010)BACKGROUND: Adipocytokines may mediate the association between adiposity and lethal prostate cancer outcomes. Methods: In the Physicians' Health Study, we prospectively examined the association of prediagnostic plasma ... -
A base-excision DNA-repair protein finds intrahelical lesion bases by fast sliding in contact with DNA
(National Academy of Sciences, 2006)A central mystery in the function of site-specific DNA-binding proteins is the detailed mechanism for rapid location and binding of target sites in DNA. Human oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (hOgg1), for example, must search ... -
A Bayesian Nonparametric Approach to Multi-Task Learning for Contextual Bandits in Mobile Health
(2022-06-03)Reinforcement learning algorithms have found utility in a number of digital interventions, such as in mobile health (mHealth), wherein N users are followed and sequentially treated over T timesteps with the aim of optimizing ... -
A Beijing Anecdote: Folly as Commentary for Social Values, Space and Time

A Bubbling Nearby Molecular Cloud: Complete Shells in Perseus
(American Astronomical Society, 2011)We present a study of the shells (and bubbles) in the Perseus molecular cloud using the COMPLETE survey large-scale (CO)-C-12(1-0) and (CO)-C-13(1-0) maps. The 12 shells reported here are spread throughout most of the ... -
A Calibrated Defocus Simulator for Research in Passive Ranging
(2022-05-23)Depth from defocus is a prominent area of computer vision research, yet unlike many other areas of the field, there is no dedicated dataset or general library for training and testing depth from defocus applications. As a ... -
