Mathews, V. John | Adaptive, quadratic preprocessing of document images for binarization | Abstract-This paper presents an adaptive algorithm for preprocessing document images prior to binarization in character recognition problems. Our method is similar in its approach to the blind adaptive equalization of binary communication channels. The adaptive filter utilizes a quadratic system mod... | | 1998 |

Andreou, Chrisoula | Addiction, procrastination, and failure points in decision-making systems | Redish et al. suggest that their failures-in-decision-making framework for understanding addiction can also contribute to improving our understanding of a variety of psychiatric disorders. In the spirit of reflecting on the significance and scope of their research, I briefly develop the idea that t... | Addiction; Failure in decision-making systems | 2008-08 |

Beckerle, Mary C. | Adhesion plaque protein, talin, is phosphorylated in vivo in chicken embryo fibroblasts exposed to the tumor-promoting phorbol ester | Talin is a high molecular weight phosphoprotein that is localized at adhesion plaques. We have found that talin phosphorylation increases 3.0-fold upon exposure of chicken embryo fibroblasts to the tumor-promoting phorbol ester, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. | Talin; Vinculin; Chicken embryo fibroblasts | 1990 |

McDaniel, Susan | Adoption in Canada: A neglected area of data collection and research | For some decades there has been in Canada, as in the United States, recurrent public interest in adoption. At various times this interest has been kindled by professional concern about unauthorized child placement and by the plight of children made homeless by war and other calamities. More recently... | Canada; Adoption; Statistics | 1981 |

McDaniel, Susan | Adoption policy in Great Britain and North America | This paper has two purposes. First, to explore what existing adoption legislation may indicate about the meaning and function of adoption practices in North America and Great Britain. Second, to consider some possible policy implications revealed by clearer understanding of the social meaning of exi... | Adoption law; Family; North America | 1984 |

Stringfellow, Gerald B.; Shurtleff, James Kevin | Adsorption and desorption of the surfactant Sb on GaInP grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy | It has been determined that ordering has a profound effect on the bandgap energy of many compound semiconductor alloys. Therefore, ordering must be controlled for devices such as solar cells, light emitting diodes and diode lasers. Since ordering depends on the surface properties during organomet... | Time dependent surface photoabsorption (SPA); Compound semiconductor alloys | 2000 |

Mallat, Chibli | After Kosovo: Secession in the Middle East | A federal state is better than the division of the land. This is also true for Kosovo and the other countries in the Balkans, as it is for Sudan and Yemen. The ICJ Kosovo ruling is good for secessionists, bad for democrats, and devastating for order in the planet. | | 2010-09-02 |

Neimoyer, Susan | After the rhapsody: George Gershwin in the Spring of 1924 | The year 1924 was a banner period in the early career of the young George Gershwin. The astonishingly successful premiere of the Rhapsody in Blue with Paul Whiteman's orchestra in 12 February 1924, in some ways made it the year of the Rhapsody. Thanks to the business acumen that prompted Whiteman to... | | 2014-01-01 |

Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE, a microlensing search in the direction of M31: status report | The M31 galaxy in Andromeda is the nearest large galaxy after the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. It is a giant galaxy, roughly 2 times as large as our Milky Way, and has its own halo. As pointed by some of us [1, 2] and independantly by A. Crotts [3], M31 provides a rich field of stars to searc... | AGAPE; Andromeda Gravitational Amplification Pixel Experiment; Microlensing; MACHO; Massive compact halo objects | 1995 |

Gondolo, Paolo | AGAPE: a search for dark matter in M31 by microlensing effects on unresolved stars | M 31 is a very tempting target for a microlensing search of compact objects in galactic haloes. It is the nearest large galaxy, it probably has its own dark halo, and its tilted position with respect to the line of sight provides an unmistakable signature of microlensing. However most stars of M 31... | M31; AGAPE; Pixel method; Galaxy; Halo; Cosmology; Gravitational lensing | 1997 |
