Asset Pricing in Production Economies,”

by Urban J Jermann - Journal of Monetary Economics, , 1998
"... Abstract This paper studies asset returns in different versions of the one-sector real business cycle model. We show that a model with habit formation preferences and capital adjustment costs can explain the historical equity premium and the average risk-free return while replicating the salient bu ..."

Example-based super-resolution

by William T. Freeman, Thouis R. Jones, Egon C. Pasztor - IEEE COMPUT. GRAPH. APPL , 2001
"... The Problem: Pixel representations for images do not have resolution independence. When we zoom into a bitmapped image, we get a blurred image. Figure 1 shows the problem for a teapot image, rich with real-world detail. We know the teapot’s features should remain sharp as we zoom in on them, yet sta ..."

standard pixel interpolation methods, such as pixel replication (b, c) and cubic spline interpolation (d, e), introduce artifacts or blurring of edges. For images zoomed 3 octaves, such as these, sharpening the interpolated result has little useful effect (f, g). Many applications in graphics or image

Stereotype threat and women’s math performance

by Steven J. Spencer, Claude M. Steele, Diane M. Quinn - Journal of Experimental Social Psychology , 1999
"... When women perform math, unlike men, they risk being judged by the negative stereotype that women have weaker math ability. We call this predicament stereotype threat and hypothesize that the apprehension it causes may disrupt women’s math performance. In Study 1 we demonstrated that the pattern obs ..."

3-D Sound for Virtual Reality and Multimedia

by Durand Begault , 2000
"... This paper gives HRTF magnitude data in numerical form for 43 frequencies between 0.2---12 kHz, the average of 12 studies representing 100 different subjects. However, no phase data is included in the tables; group delay simulation would need to be included in order to account for ITD. In 3-D sound ..."

Dissecting BitTorrent: Five Months In Torrent's Lifetime

by M. Izal, G. Uroy-Keller, E.W. Biersack, P. A. Felber, A. Al Hamra, L. Garces-Erice , 2004
"... Popular content such as software updates is requested by a large number of users. Traditionally, to satisfy a large number of requests, lager server farms or mirroring are used, both of which are expensive. An inexpensive alternative are peer-to-peer based replication systems, where users who re ..."

Replicated Microarray Data

by Ingrid Lönnstedt, Terry Speed - Statistica Sinica , 2001
"... cDNA microarrays permit us to study the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. They are now used in many dierent contexts to compare mRNA levels between two or more samples of cells. Microarray experiments typically give us expression measurements on a large number of genes, say 10,000-20, ..."

Building Knowledge through Families of Experiments

by Victor R. Basili, Forrest Shull, Filippo Lanubile - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 1999
"... ... This paper discusses the experience of the authors, based upon a collection of experiments, in terms of a framework for organizing sets of related studies. With such a framework, experiments can be viewed as part of common families of studies, rather than being isolated events. Common families ..."

families of studies can contribute to important and relevant hypotheses that may not be suggested by individual experiments. A framework also facilitates building knowledge in an incremental manner through the replication of experiments within families of studies. To support the framework, this paper

Inhibiting and facilitating conditions of the human smile: A nonobtrusive test of the facial feedback hypothesis.

by Fritz Strack , Leonard L Martin , Sabine Stepper - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, , 1988
"... We investigated the hypothesis that people's facial activity influences their affective responses. Two studies were designed to both eliminate methodological problems of earlier experiments and clarify theoretical ambiguities, This was achieved by having subjects hold a pen in their mouth in w ..."

Knowledge management systems: issues, challenges and benefits

by Maryam Alavi, Robert H. Smith, Dorothy E. Leidner, Maryam Alavi, Dorothy E. Leidner - Article 7 , 1999

The emphasis on knowledge in today’s organizations is based on the assumption that barriers to the transfer and replication of ..."

A comprehensive review of genetic association studies. Genet Med 2002;4:45–61

by Joel N. Hirschhorn, Kirk Lohmueller, Edward Byrne, Kurt Hirschhorn
"... Most common diseases are complex genetic traits, with multiple genetic and environmental components contrib-uting to susceptibility. It has been proposed that common genetic variants, including single nucleotide polymor-phisms (SNPs), influence susceptibility to common disease. This proposal has beg ..."
