Achieving Trust without Disclosure: Dark Pools and a Role for Secrecy-Preserving Verification
(2015)Can an exchange be “dark,” so that orders are not displayed, while simultaneously trustworthy, so that the execution of trades and flow of information occur as promised? SEC actions against dark pools suggest cause for ... -
Achiral symmetry breaking and positive Gaussian modulus lead to scalloped colloidal membranes
(2017)In the presence of a non-adsorbing polymer, monodisperse rod-like particles assemble into colloidal membranes, which are one rod-length thick liquid-like monolayers of aligned rods. Unlike 3D edgeless bilayer vesicles, ... -

Acoustic buffeting by infrasound in a low vibration facility
(AIP Publishing, 2016)Measurement instruments and fabrication tools with spatial resolution on the atomic scale require facilities that mitigate the impact of vibration sources in the environment. One approach to protection from vibration in a ... -
Acoustic Source Separation, Contour Classification, and Trajectory Optimization
(2023-05-12)How can we distinguish individual birds singing in a dawn chorus, and thereby improve measurements of biodiversity to aid conservation efforts? What are the key differences between the walking patterns of an unimpaired ... -
Acquiring and Aggregating Information from Strategic Sources
(2016-07-28)This thesis considers, from a theoretical perspective, the design of mechanisms to accomplish the objective described in the title. Two cases of this problem are considered: information as represented by data points in a ... -
Acquisition and Rendering of Transparent and Refractive Objects
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2002)This paper introduces a new image-based approach to capturing and modeling highly specular, transparent, or translucent objects. We have built a system for automatically acquiring high quality graphical models of objects ... -
Acritarchs and Microfossils from the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Group, Northwestern Australia
(Paleontological Society, 1999)Three microfossil assemblages occur in the Mesoproterozoic Bangemall Group (1625-1000 Ma) of northwestern Australia, each occupying a different environmental and taphonomic setting. In peritidal environments, benthic ... -
An Acropolis in China: The Appropriation of Ancient Greek Tradition in Modern Chinese Literature
(2016-05-17)This dissertation explores the transcultural relationships between modern China and ancient Greece, with a view toward appreciating how Greek philosophical and literary visions have been received, reformulated, and repurposed ... -
Act Versus Impact: Conservatives and Liberals Exhibit Different Structural Emphases in Moral Judgment
(Wiley, 2017-05-31)Conservatives and liberals disagree sharply on matters of morality and public policy. We propose a novel account of the psychological basis of these differences. Specifically, we find that conservatives tend to emphasize ... -
Acting for a Reason
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Starting from the debate over whether practical reasons are mental states or the facts to which those mental states are a response, this chapter argues that being motivated by a practical reason must be a reflexive form ... -
Acting From Thought About Action
(2016-08-25)Human action is unique. It is metaphysically unique because we can act self-consciously. It is normatively unique because we are subject to prudential, moral, and rational standards in action, whereas other agents are not. ... -
Action Categories in Lateral Occipitotemporal Cortex Are Organized Along Sociality and Transitivity
(Society for Neuroscience, 2017)How neural specificity for distinct conceptual knowledge categories arises is central for understanding the organization of semantic memory in the human brain. Although there is a large body of research on the neural ... -
Action Embellishment: An Intention Bias in the Perception of Success
(American Psychological Association, 2011)Naïve theories of behavior hold that actions are caused by an agent’s intentions, and the subsequent success of an action is measured by the satisfaction of those intentions. But when an action is not as successful as ... -
Action Potential Initiation in the Hodgkin-Huxley Model
(Public Library of Science, 2009)A recent paper of B. Naundorf et al. described an intriguing negative correlation between variability of the onset potential at which an action potential occurs (the onset span) and the rapidity of action potential initiation ...
