Contexts of reception, post-disaster migration, and socioeconomic mobility
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2014)Current theories conceptualize return migration to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina as an individual-level assessment of costs and benefits. Since relocation is cost prohibitive, return migration is thought to be unlikely ... -
Contextual Effects in Visual Working Memory Reveal Hierarchically Structured Memory Representations
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2015-11)Influential slot and resource models of visual working memory make the assumption that items are stored in memory as independent units, and that there are no interactions between them. Consequently, these models predict ... -
Contextual Modulation of Early Visual Processing and the Role of Cortico-Cortical Feedback
(2016-05-14)How does the brain form a useful representation of its external environment from the astoundingly complex patterns of sensory signals it receives? This question has motivated the field of systems neuroscience for decades. ... -
Contextuality in multipartite pseudo-telepathy graph games
(Elsevier BV, 2020-02)Analyzing pseudo-telepathy graph games, we propose a way to build contextuality scenarios exhibiting the quantum supremacy using graph states. We consider the combinatorial structures that generate equivalent scenarios. ... -
Continental and Maritime Empires in an Age of Global Commerce
(SAGE Publications, 2011)This article calls for the incorporation of Central Europe into the European and even the global history of the late imperial period through the investigation of the Habsburg Monarchy’s participation in global commerce. ... -
Continental constriction and oceanic ice-cover thickness in a Snowball-Earth scenario

Continental sources, transoceanic transport, and interhemispheric exchange of carbon monoxide over the Pacific
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2001)The Pacific Exploratory Mission to the Tropics phase B (PEM-Tropics B) aircraft campaign in March-April 1999 surveyed the chemical composition of the Pacific atmosphere from 35°N to 35°S and up to 12 km altitude. We use ... -
Contingency and Necessity: A Musical Offering
(2021-05-14)Contingency and Necessity: A Musical Offering Abstract This dissertation consists of the eight musical scores making up the respective work series of Georgic, Secundum Surdum, and Agnus. In addition, the score of ... -
Contingency is not enough: Social context guides third-party attributions of intentional agency.
(American Psychological Association (APA), 2014)Four experiments investigated whether infants and adults infer that a novel entity that interacts in a contingent, communicative fashion with an experimenter is itself an intentional agent. The experiments contrasted the ... -
The Contingent Effects of Prior Ties on Network Dynamics: Essays on the Formation and Dissolution of Interorganizational Relationships in the Venture Capital Industry
(2015-05-11)This dissertation comprises three empirical chapters that investigate the limits of prior interorganizational ties in explaining patterns of tie formation and tie dissolution of interorganizational relationships in the ... -
The Continued Creation of Communities of Practice – Finding Variation in the Western Zhou Expansion (1046-771 BCE)
(2016-05-04)This work explores the question of when and how China became Chinese by studying state sponsored colonial expansion and intercultural interactions during the Western Zhou period (1046-771 BCE). Because Confucius and his ... -
Continuities and discontinuities in working memory representations of collections over ontogeny
(2014-10-23)Working memory, or the ability to maintain and manipulate information such that it can be used to guide behavior, is known to be severely capacity limited, in most circumstances, to about 3-4 objects. Both infants and ... -
Continuities of Change: Conversion and Convertibility in Northern Mozambique
(2014-10-21)Recent scholarship on Africa gives the impression of a singular narrative regarding Pentecostalism, that of inexorable rise. Indisputably, Pentecostalism's "explosion" throughout the global South is one of today's more ... -
Continuous directed evolution of DNA-binding proteins to improve TALEN specificity
(2015)Nucleases containing programmable DNA-binding domains can alter the genomes of model organisms and have the potential to become human therapeutics. Here we present DNA-binding phage-assisted continuous evolution (DB-PACE) ... -
Continuous Directed Evolution of Enzymes with Novel Substrate Specificity
(2013-07-05)Methodological advances in directed evolution have already made it possible to discover useful biomolecules within months to years. A further acceleration of this process might make it possible to address outstanding ... -
Continuous evolution of B. thuringiensis toxins overcomes insect resistance
(2016)The Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxins (Bt toxins) are widely used insecticidal proteins in engineered crops that provide agricultural, economic, and environmental benefits. The development of insect resistance to Bt ... -
Continuous Evolution of Base Editors With Expanded Target Compatibility and Improved Activity
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-22)Base editors use DNA-modifying enzymes targeted with a catalytically impaired CRISPR protein to precisely install point mutations. Here, we develop phage-assisted continuous evolution of base editors (BE–PACE) to improve ... -
