Characterization of the planetary boundary layer during SAMUM-2 by means of lidar measurements
(2011-09-01)Measurements with two Raman-depolarization lidars of the Meteorological Institute of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München, Germany, performed during SAMUM-2, were used to characterize the planetary boundary layer ... -
Characterization of the putative antigenic determinants on Pasteuria endospore surface using Bacillus thuringiensis as a comparative tool
(2016-08-28)Biological control agents are emerging as potential environmentally benign means of combating phytonematodes across the world. Some species of Pasteuria are endospore forming bacterial hyperparasites of nematodes associated ... -
Characterization of the sporulation initiation pathway of Clostridium difficile and its role in toxin production
(2009)Clostridium difficile is responsible for significant mortality and morbidity in the hospitalized elderly. C. difficile spores are infectious and are a major factor contributing to nosocomial transmission. The Spo0A response ... -
Characterization of the VVV Survey RR Lyrae Population across the Southern Galactic Plane
(2017-03-27)Deep near-IR images from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae stars in the Southern Galactic plane. A sizable sample of 404 RR Lyrae of type ab stars was identified across a ... -
Characterization of vulnerable and resilient Spanish adolescents in their developmental contexts
(2016-07-04)Research on resilience and vulnerability can offer very valuable information for optimizing design and assessment of interventions and policies aimed at fostering adolescent health. This paper used the adversity level ... -
Characterizing ice particles using two-dimensional reflections of a lidar beam
(2017-07-01)We report a phenomenon manifesting itself as brief flashes of light on the snow surface near a lidar beam. The flashes are imaged and interpreted as specular reflection patterns from individual ice particles. Such patterns ... -
Characterizing precursors to stellar clusters with Herschel
(2011-11-01)Context. Despite their profound effect on the universe, the formation of massive stars and stellar clusters remains elusive. Recent advances in observing facilities and computing power have brought us closer to understanding ... -
Characterizing the disk around the TW Hydrae Association brown dwarf 2MASSW J1207334-393254
(2007-05-20)We present detailed modeling of the disk around the TW Hydrae Association (TWA) brown dwarf 2MASSW J1207334 - 393254 (2M1207), using Spitzer observations from 3.6 to 24 mu m. The spectral energy distribution (SED) does not ... -
Characterizing the Vibration Responses of Flexible Workpieces during the Turning Process for Quality Control
(2023-11-23)Featured Application: This study represents a breakthrough in the engineering of turning processes for manufacturing. By examining dynamic properties and vibration response during turning, it provides key insights for ... -
Charged-particle and neutron-capture processes in the high-entropy wind of core-collapse supernovae
(2010-04-01)The astrophysical site of the r-process is still uncertain, and a full exploration of the systematics of this process in terms of its dependence on nuclear properties from stability to the neutron drip-line within realistic ... -
Charity and Poverty in England, c.1680-1820 : Wild and Visionary Schemes
(Manchester University Press, 2009-11-30)This book explores responses to poverty in eighteenth-century England, with an eye to some of the odder manifestations of charity and poor relief. Whether discussing proposals for vast inland colonies or cosy firesides, ... -

Charmers and Charming in England and Wales from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century
(1998-01)Charmers have long been recognised as an important aspect of folk medicine. Unfortunately, however, they have usually been conflated with cunning-folk and consequently the welldefined tradition of charming has been rather ... -
Chartist Studies and Malcolm Chase: a Re-appreciation
(2023-11-17)Malcolm Chase (1957–2020) was the pre-eminent scholar of the Chartist democratic movement, and more broadly, of working-class political and social action in early nineteenth-century Britain. His work in many respects shaped ... -
Chasing discs around O-type (proto)stars : Evidence from ALMA observations
(2017-06-13)Context. Circumstellar discs around massive stars could mediate the accretion onto the star from the infalling envelope, and could minimize the effects of radiation pressure. Despite such a crucial role, only a few convincing ... -
Chasing the identification of ASCA Galactic Objects (ChIcAGO): An X-ray survey of unidentified sources in the galactic plane. I : Source sample and initial results
(2014-05)We present the Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects (ChIcAGO) survey, which is designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey (AGPS). Little is known about ... -
Cheap Newton steps for optimal control problems: automatic differentiation and Pantoja's algorithm
(1999)In this paper we discuss Pantoja's construction of the Newton direction for discrete time optimal control problems. We show that automatic differentiation (AD) techniques can be used to calculate the Newton direction ... -
Checking chess checks with chunks: A model of simple check detection
(Cognitive Science Society, 2009)The procedure by which humans identify checks in check positions is not well understood. We report here our experience in modelling this process with CHREST, a general-purpose cognitive model that has previously successfully ...
