Society and the Adolescent Self-Image
Over 5,000 high-school students of different social, religious, and national backgrounds were studied to show the effects of family experience, neighborhoods, minority groups, e...
A Computational Approach to Edge Detection
This paper describes a computational approach to edge detection. The success of the approach depends on the definition of a comprehensive set of goals for the computation of edg...
Balanced basis sets of split valence, triple zeta valence and quadruple zeta valence quality for H to Rn: Design and assessment of accuracy
Gaussian basis sets of quadruple zeta valence quality for Rb-Rn are presented, as well as bases of split valence and triple zeta valence quality for H-Rn. The latter were obtain...
Mask R-CNN
We present a conceptually simple, flexible, and general framework for object instance segmentation. Our approach efficiently detects objects in an image while simultaneously gen...
Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color
Over the last two decades, women have organized against the almost routine violence that shapes their lives. Drawing from the strength of shared experience, women have recognize...
MrBayes 3.2: Efficient Bayesian Phylogenetic Inference and Model Choice Across a Large Model Space
Since its introduction in 2001, MrBayes has grown in popularity as a software package for Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. With thi...
Educational research : planning, conducting, and evaluatingquantitative and qualitative research
A practical, step-by-step core research text that balances coverage of qualitative and quantitative methods The clear and practical writing of Educational Research: Planning, Co...
SPAdes: A New Genome Assembly Algorithm and Its Applications to Single-Cell Sequencing
The lion's share of bacteria in various environments cannot be cloned in the laboratory and thus cannot be sequenced using existing technologies. A major goal of single-cell gen...
Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance
Examines the role that institutions, defined as the humanly devised constraints that shape human interaction, play in economic performance and how those institutions change and ...
User Acceptance of Computer Technology: A Comparison of Two Theoretical Models
Computer systems cannot improve organizational performance if they aren't used. Unfortunately, resistance to end-user systems by managers and professionals is a widespread probl...
Alternative Ways of Assessing Model Fit
This article is concerned with measures of fit of a model. Two types of error involved in fitting a model are considered. The first is error of approximation which involves the ...
