Chimeric Genes as a Source of Rapid Evolution in Drosophila melanogaster
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011)Chimeric genes form through the combination of portions of existing coding sequences to create a new open reading frame. These new genes can create novel protein structures that are likely to serve as a strong source of ... -
Chimpanzee Alarm Call Production Meets Key Criteria for Intentionality
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Determining the intentionality of primate communication is critical to understanding the evolution of human language. Although intentional signalling has been claimed for some great ape gestural signals, comparable evidence ... -
Chimpanzee ethnography reveals unexpected cultural diversity
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-25)Human ethnographic knowledge covers hundreds of societies1-2, whereas chimpanzee ethnography encompasses at most 15 communities. Using termite fishing as a window into the richness of chimpanzee cultural diversity, here ... -
Chimpanzee Violence is a Serious Topic. A Response to Sussman and Marshack's Critique of Demonic Males: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence
(Center for Global Nonkilling, 2010)Sussman and Marshack criticize Demonic Males as being wrong in its generalizations about chimpanzee behavior, and flawed in its theoretical interpretations. I show that studies of chimpanzees conducted since Demonic Males ... -
Chimpanzees help conspecifics obtain food and non-food items
(The Royal Society, 2010)Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) sometimes help both humans and conspecifics in experimental situations in which immediate selfish benefits can be ruled out. However, in several experiments, chimpanzees have not provided food ... -
China and the Atlantic World: From John Cabot to the Age of Revolutions
(2021-09-28)Like modern-day Americans, Americans in the early modern period interacted with China extensively. They read books about China in libraries and purchased them from booksellers, they discussed both great things about the ... -
China in West Africa’s regional development and security plans
(Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2015)This article argues that we are presently in another global economic transition. The old centres of growth have witnessed serious economic reverses with several countries going into ‘receivership’ in the West – Greece, ... -
China Since Tiananmen: A New Rights Consciousness?
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009)Despite the brutal suppression of the Tiananmen Uprising of 1989, the frequency of popular protest in China has by all accounts escalated steadily over the ensuing two decades. These protests—increasingly articulated in a ... -
China's CO2 emissions estimated from the bottom up: Recent trends, spatial distributions, and quantification of uncertainties
(Elsevier BV, 2012)China’s emissions of anthropogenic CO2 are estimated using a bottom-up emission inventory framework based on a detailed categorization of economic sectors and provincial economic and energy data. It includes a newly compiled ... -
China's “Great Leap Forward” in Science and Engineering
(Elsevier, 2015)In the past two decades China leaped from bit player in global science and engineering (S&E) to become the world's largest source of S&E graduates and the second largest spender on R&D and second largest producer of ... -
China’s CO2 Peak Before 2030 Implied From Characteristics and Growth of Cities
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-29)China pledges to peak CO2 emissions by 2030 or sooner under the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 2 °C or less by the end of the century. By examining CO2 emissions from 50 Chinese cities over the period 2000–2016, ... -
China’s Dormant and Active Social Volcanoes
(2016-01)China's leaders often claim that the rising tide of mass protests in recent years is primarily driven by popular anger over the widening gap between rich and poor. However, in a series of national surveys that I helped ... -
China’s Post-Socialist Inequality

Chinese Conceptions of “Rights”: From Mencius to Mao—and Now
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)The recent explosion of popular protest in China, often framed as a demand for the fulfillment of “rights,” has captured widespread attention. Some observers interpret the protests as signs of a “moral vacuum.” Others see ... -
Chinese Conditionals and the Theory of Conditionals
(Springer Verlag, 2000)As is well known, in conditionals and, more generally, in structures involving adverbs of quantification, indefinite NPs like a cat display a variable quantificational force. Within DRT this phenomenon is analyzed by ... -
A Chip Architecture for Compressive Sensing Based Detection of IC Trojans
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2012)We present a chip architecture for a compressive sensing based method that can be used in conjunction with the JTAG standard to detect IC Trojans. The proposed architecture compresses chip output resulting from a large ... -
A ChIP-Mass Spectrometry Approach to Analysis of Dosage Compensation in Drosophila
(2013-03-11)Dosage compensation is a process that many multicellular organisms employ to equalize the expression of X-linked genes between males and females. In Drosophila melanogaster, it is achieved by a two-fold transcriptional ... -
CHIPS: The Cosmological HI Power Spectrum Estimator
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)Detection of the cosmological neutral hydrogen signal from the Epoch of Reionization, and estimation of its basic physical parameters, is the principal scientific aim of many current low-frequency radio telescopes. Here ... -
Chiral Dual-Hydrogen-Bond Donors Catalyze Highly Enantioselective Cyclization Reactions
(2022-01-18)In Chapter 1, we describe the development and mechanistic analysis of highly enantioselective bioinspired cyclization reactions of monoterpene derivatives catalyzed by chiral ureas. From a detailed series of mechanistic ...
