Crop evapotranspiration : guidelines for computing crop water requirements
(First edition: 1998, this reprint: 2004). This publication presents an updated procedure for calculating reference and crop evapotranspiration from meteorological data and crop...
Self-interaction correction to density-functional approximations for many-electron systems
The exact density functional for the ground-state energy is strictly self-interaction-free (i.e., orbitals demonstrably do not self-interact), but many approximations to it, inc...
Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste*
The basic opposition between the tastes of luxury and the tastes of necessity is specified in as many oppositions as there are different ways of asserting one's distinction vis-...
Accurate spin-dependent electron liquid correlation energies for local spin density calculations: a critical analysis
We assess various approximate forms for the correlation energy per particle of the spin-polarized homogeneous electron gas that have frequently been used in applications of the ...
Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity with Estimates of the Variance of United Kingdom Inflation
Traditional econometric models assume a constant one-period forecast variance. To generalize this implausible assumption, a new class of stochastic processes called autoregressi...
Measurement of the Elastic Properties and Intrinsic Strength of Monolayer Graphene
We measured the elastic properties and intrinsic breaking strength of free-standing monolayer graphene membranes by nanoindentation in an atomic force microscope. The force-disp...
Very high resolution interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas
We developed interpolated climate surfaces for global land areas (excluding Antarctica) at a spatial resolution of 30 arc s (often referred to as 1-km spatial resolution). The c...
A Theory of Social Comparison Processes
Hypothesis I: There exists, in the human organism, a drive to evaluate his opinions and his abilities. While opinions and abilities may, at first glance, seem to be quite differ...
Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth
This paper presents a fully specified model of long-run growth in which knowledge is assumed to be an input in production that has increasing marginal productivity. It is essent...
Optical Constants of the Noble Metals
The optical constants $n$ and $k$ were obtained for the noble metals (copper, silver, and gold) from reflection and transmission measurements on vacuum-evaporated thin films at ...
