Riloff, Ellen M. | Conundrums in noun phrase coreference resolution: making sense of the state-of-the-art | We aim to shed light on the state-of-the-art in NP coreference resolution by teasing apart the differences in the MUC and ACE task definitions, the assumptions made in evaluation methodologies, and inherent differences in text corpora. First, we examine three subproblems that play a role in coref... | Noun phrase; Coreference resolution; MUC; ACE | 2009 |

Olivera, Baldomero M.; Gray, William Robert; Yoshikami, Doju | Conus geographus toxins that discriminate between neuronal and muscle sodium channels | We describe the properties of a family of 22-amino acid peptides, the μ-conotoxins, which are useful probes for investigating voltage-dependent sodium channels of excitable tissues. The μ-conotoxins are present in the venom of the piscivorous marine snail, Conus geographus L. We have purified even... | Conus geographus; Venom; Conotoxins; Sodium channels; Neurotoxins | 1985 |

Olivera, Baldomero M.; McIntosh, J. Michael | Conus peptides as tools for the neuroscientist | Recombinant DNA technology has had a powerful impact on understanding receptors and ion channels, the key components in the nervous system that are involved in intercellular communication. Cloning genes encoding these proteins has revealed that for every receptor and ion channel type, multiple molec... | Conus peptides; Conotoxins | 1993 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Conus peptides: biodiversity-based discovery and exogenomics | The venoms of the ~700 species of predatory cone snails (genus Conus) are being systematically characterized. Each Conus species contains 100-200 small, highly structured venom peptides (colloquially known as conotoxins), which are synthesized and secreted in a venom duct (for overviews, see Refs. ... | Conotoxins; Conus peptides; Exogenomics | 2006 |

 |
Olivera, Baldomero M. | Conus peptides: phylogenetic range of biological activity | The major function of the venoms of the predatory marine snails belonging to the genus Conus is to paralyze prey. Thus, the venom of each Conus species acts on receptors and ion channels of the prey; previous studies suggested much less activity on homologous receptor targets in more distant taxa.... | Conus peptides; Conopeptides; Conotoxins | 1992 |

Olivera, Baldomero M. | Conus venom peptides, receptor and ion channel targets, and drug design: 50 million years of neuropharmacology | The predatory cone snails (Conus) are among the most successful living marine animals (~500 living species). Each Conus species is a specialist in neuropharmacology, and uses venom to capture prey, to escape from and defend against predators and possibly to deter competitors. An individual cone... | Conotoxins | 1997 |

Yu, Zhou; Myers, Dowell | Convergence or divergence in Los Angeles: three distinctive ethnic patterns of immigrant residential assimilation | This paper uses census microdata to examine five aspects of residential assimilation in the greater Los Angeles area. A double cohort method is used to separate the effect of duration in the U.S. from the effect of aging. We track a single arrival cohort that came in 1970-79, and analyze the process... | Residential assimilation; Immigrants; Cohort; Los Angeles; Homeownership | 2006-01-11 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Convexity and exponent inequalities for conduction near percolation | The bulk conductivity o*(p) of the bond lattice in Zd with a fraction p of conducting bonds is analyzed. Assuming a hierarchical node-link-blob (NLB) model of the conducting backbone, it is shown that o*(p) (for this model) is convex in p near the percolation threshold pc, and that its critical expo... | Lattice; Conductivity; Model | 1990 |

Golden, Kenneth M. | Convexity in random resistor networks | The bulk conductivity o*(p) of the bond lattice in Zd is considered, where the conductivity of the bonds is either 1 with probability p or e > 0 with probability 1 - p. Rigorous and non-rigorous results demonstrating convexity of o*(p) near the percolation threshold pc are presented. | Conductivity; Bond lattice; Critical exponent t | 1989 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Cooperative and stimulated emission in poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) thin films and solutions | We discuss cooperative and stimulated emissions and separate their respective contributions to the emission spectral narrowing in thin films and solutions of poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) derivatives. Whereas cooperative radiation is favored in films with poor optical confinement, directional stimula... | pi-conjugated polymers; PPV; Spectral narrowing | 1998-04 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine; Raikh, Mikhail E. | Cooperative emission from a disordered system: a classical model | The effect of disorder on the collective emission from a system of classical oscillators is studied theoretically. Three types of disorder are considered: random orientation of dipole moments, finite spread in frequencies of the individual oscillators (diagonal disorder), and dipole-dipole interacti... | Cooperative emission; Disordered system; Dipole-dipole interaction; Oscillators | 1997 |

Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Cooperative emission in ∏-conjugated polymer thin films | Picosecond dynamics of exciton emission and absorption have been studied in neat thin films of a variety of poly (phenylene vinylene) derivatives. We found that the stimulated emission band of 120 nm width and ~1 ns duration, which is observed at low exciton density n, collapses at n > 1017 cm-3 int... | Pi-conjugated polymers; Poly (phenylene vinylene) derivatives; PPV derivatives; Cooperative emission | 1997-01 |

Goller, Franz | Coordination and synergism between visual and vocal display in the brown-headed cowbirds | Sexually selected acoustic signaling is accompanied by visual displays in many birds. The motor integration of visual and vocal displays has not been extensively studied. Brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) "puff up" prior to song, move their wings during the song and conclude with a bow. The ... | Acoustic signaling; Wing display; Synergistic interaction | 2003 |
