Cauchy's Arm Lemma on a Growing Sphere (2008)

Abel, Zachary, Charlton, David, Collette, Sebastien, Demaine, Erik D., Demaine, Martin L., Langerman, Stefan, ...

We propose a variant of Cauchy's Lemma, proving that when a convex chain on one sphere is redrawn (with the same lengths and angles) on a larger sphere, the distance between its endpoints increases....

(www.interscience.wiley.com) DOI: 10.1002/acp.1130 When Emotions Get the Better of Us: The Effect of Contextual Top-down Processing on Matching Fingerprints (2008)

Itiel E. Dror, Ailsa E. Péron, Sara-lynn Hind, David Charlton

Twenty-seven participants made a total of 2,484 judgments whether a pair of fingerprints matched or not. A quarter of the trials acted as a control condition. The rest of the trials included top-down...

A Locked Orthogonal Tree (2008)

Charlton, David, Demaine, Erik D., Demaine, Martin L., Price, Gregory, Tu, Yaa-Lirng

We give a counterexample to a conjecture of Poon [Poo06] that any orthogonal tree in two dimensions can always be flattened by a continuous motion that preserves edge lengths and avoids...

Hinged Dissections Exist (2007)

Abbott, Timothy G., Abel, Zachary, Charlton, David, Demaine, Erik D., Demaine, Martin L., Kominers, Scott D.

We prove that any finite collection of polygons of equal area has a common hinged dissection. That is, for any such collection of polygons there exists a chain of polygons hinged at vertices that can...

Contextual information renders experts vulnerable to making erroneous identifications (2006)

Dror, Itiel E., Charlton, David, Péron, Alisa E.

We investigated whether experts can objectively focus on feature information in fingerprints without being misled by extraneous information, such as context. We took fingerprints that have previously...

Why experts make errors (2006)

Dror, Itiel E., Charlton, David

Expert latent fingerprint examiners were presented with fingerprints taken from real criminal cases. Half of the prints had been previously judged as individualizations and the other half as...

When emotions get the better of us: the effect of contextual top-down processing on matching fingerprints (2005)

Dror, Itiel E., Peron, Ailsa E., Hind, Sara-Lynn, Charlton, David

Twenty-seven participants made a total of 2,484 judgments whether a pair of fingerprints matched or not. A quarter of the trials acted as a control condition. The rest of the trials included top-down...

The current status of experimental tests of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model is reviewed.

Ecosystem Classification and Relationships for Pleistocene Lake Thompson Bed Mojave Desert, California (1998)

Lichvar, Robert, Sprecher, Steve, Charlton, David, Gustina, Gregory, Ericsson, Michael

A four-year study was undertaken in 1997 to understand ecosystem relationships between vegetation and edaphic features at Edwards Air Force Base, California (Edwards AFB). This report presents the...

Immunoglobulin Class-Specific Antibody Response in Serum, Spleen, Lungs, and Bronchoalveolar Washings After Primary and Secondary Sendai Virus Infection of Germfree Mice

Charlton, David, Blandford, Gerald

Immunoglobulin class-specific antibodies were measured by a solid-phase radioimmunoassay in serum, bronchoalveolar washings (BAW), lung cell lysates, and spleen cell lysates in germfree mice after...
