    • Intellectual Property Rights and Institutions: A Pluralist Account 

      Kenneally, Michael Edward (2014-06-06)
      Debates over intellectual property's justifications tend to treat natural rights and utilitarian accounts as competitors, but they should be seen as complements instead. Lockean and Kantian theories of intellectual property ...

    • Intelligent Information Sharing to Support Loosely-Coupled Teamwork 

      Amir, Ofra (2016-12-12)
      Complex tasks such as treating patients with complex medical conditions, conducting research, co-authoring documents and developing software products are typically accomplished by teams. Teamwork in such settings is often ...

    • Intense Atomic and Molecular Beams Via Neon Buffer-gas Cooling 

      Patterson, David; Rasmussen, Julia Hege; Doyle, John M. (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      We realize a continuous, intense, cold molecular and atomic beam source based on buffer-gas cooling. Hot vapor (up to 600 K) from an oven is mixed with cold (15 K) neon buffer gas, and then emitted into a high-flux beam. ...

    • Intensional Polymorphism in Type-erasure Semantics 

      Crary, Karl; Weirich, Stephanie; Morrisett, John Gregory (Association for Computing Machinery, 1998)
      Intensional polymorphism, the ability to dispatch to different routines based on types at run time, enables a variety of advanced implementation techniques for polymorphic languages, including tag-free garbage collection, ...

    • Intention Reconciliation by Collaborative Agents 

      Sullivan, David G.; Grosz, Barbara; Kraus, Sarit (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2000)
      Research on resource-bounded agents has established that rational agents need to be able to revise their commitments in the light of new opportunities. In the context of collaborative activities, rational agents must be ...

    • Intention Reconciliation in the Context of Teamwork: An Initial Empirical Investigation 

      Sullivan, David G.; Glass, Alyssa; Grosz, Barbara; Kraus, Sarit (Springer, 1999)
      With growing opportunities for individually motivated agents to work collaboratively to satisfy shared goals, it becomes increasingly important to design agents that can make intelligent decisions in the context of commitments ...

    • Intention-Disguised Algorithmic Trading 

      Yuen, William; Syverson, Paul; Zhenming, Liu; Thorpe, Christopher A (2010)
      We propose a general model underlying the problem of designing trading strategies that leak no information to frontrunners and other exploiters. We study major scenarios in the market and design a family of algorithms that ...

    • Intentional ambiguity 

      Tan, Vaughn (2013-10-08)
      In this dissertation, I present a grounded exploration of some processes and mechanisms through which internal ambiguity helps groups adapt to—and thus cope with—external ambiguity and an unpredictably changing ...

    • Inter- and Intracellular Effects of Traumatic Axonal Injury 

      Dabiri, Borna Esfahani (2014-06-06)
      Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBIs) are non-penetrating brain injuries that do not result in gross pathological lesions, yet they may cause a spectrum of cognitive and behavioral deficits. mTBI has been placed in the ...

    • Inter-Identity Autobiographical Amnesia in Patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder 

      Huntjens, Rafaële J. C.; Verschuere, Bruno; McNally, Richard J. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Background: A major symptom of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID; formerly Multiple Personality Disorder) is dissociative amnesia, the inability to recall important personal information. Only two case studies have directly ...

    • Inter-rater reliability for movement pattern analysis (MPA): measuring patterning of behaviors versus discrete behavior counts as indicators of decision-making style 

      Connors, Brenda L.; Rende, Richard; Colton, Timothy J. (Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)
      The unique yield of collecting observational data on human movement has received increasing attention in a number of domains, including the study of decision-making style. As such, interest has grown in the nuances of core ...

    • Inter-Religious Dialogue as a Christian Ecumenical Concern 

      Eck, Diana (Wiley-Blackwell, 1985)
      Explores inter-religious dialogue in Christian ecumenical concerns. Discussion of mission and evangelism by the Commission on World Mission and Evangelism; Theological, developmental and peace-making work of the Church and ...

    • Interacting Adaptive Processes with Different Timescales Underlie Short-Term Motor Learning 

      Smith, Maurice; Ghazizadeh, Ali; Shadmehr, Reza (Public Library of Science, 2006)
      Multiple processes may contribute to motor skill acquisition, but it is thought that many of these processes require sleep or the passage of long periods of time ranging from several hours to many days or weeks. Here we ...

    • Interacting quantum materials and their acoustic analogs 

      Pirie, Harris Stanley (2022-01-20)
      When electrons in solids interact strongly with one another, they often produce unexpected, emergent phases, like high-temperature superconductivity or fractional quantum Hall states. In this thesis, I approach this strongly ...

    • Interacting with Animals: A Kantian Account 

      Korsgaard, Christine M. (Oxford University Press, 2011)

    • Interaction and Variability of Ice Streams under a Triple-Valued Sliding Law and Non-Newtonian Rheology 

      Sayag, Roiy; Tziperman, Eli (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)
      Ice streams are regions of fast flowing glacier ice that transport a significant portion of the total ice flux from present ice sheets. The flow pattern of ice streams can vary both temporally and spatially. In particular, ...

    • Interaction Between Folate and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances on Birth Outcomes and Immune Health in Children 

      Zhang, Yu (2023-06-01)
