Creating a Season: Tourism, Sexuality, and Imaginations of Beirut
(2016-09-21)This dissertation is an ethnographic and historical investigation into questions of sexuality, sensuality, mobility, and tourism in the context of Beirut, Lebanon. The work explores affective atmospheres and the conditions ... -
Creating an Accessible Network of Life-Saving Medical Devices
(2017-07-14)This paper consists of the design and implementation of a software platform empowering users to quickly find autoinjectors and defibrillators in emergencies by leveraging both crowdsourcing and the Internet of Things (IoT). ... -
Creating analogs of thermal distributions from diabatic excitations in ion-trap-based quantum simulation
(IOP Publishing, 2016)One broad goal of quantum simulation is to start a simple quantum system in its ground state and slowly evolve the Hamiltonian to a complex one, maintaining the ground state throughout the evolution (called adiabatic state ... -
Creating Bio-Inspired Hierarchical 3D–2D Photonic Stacks via Planar Lithography on Self-Assembled Inverse Opals
(IOP Publishing, 2013-11-21)Structural hierarchy and complex 3D architecture are characteristics of biological photonic designs that are challenging to reproduce in synthetic materials. Top-down lithography allows for designer patterning of arbitrary ... -
Creating Critical Consumers of Health and Science News: Teaching Science to the Non-Scientist Using Newsworthy Topics in the Life Sciences†
(American Society of Microbiology, 2016)Scientists constantly make groundbreaking discoveries, some of which receive attention from the press. We designed a course intended for a lay audience that provides the scientific background to appreciate these reports ... -
Creating for Creatives: A Humanistic Approach to Designing AI Tools Targeted at Professional Animators
(2021-06-04)Creative endeavors have long been thought to be a uniquely human form of expression, something that could never be truly replicated by artificial means. However, as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop, both ... -
Creating Patient-Specific Neural Cells for the In Vitro Study of Brain Disorders
(Elsevier, 2015)Summary As a group, we met to discuss the current challenges for creating meaningful patient-specific in vitro models to study brain disorders. Although the convergence of findings between laboratories and patient cohorts ... -
Creating the Kingdom of Ends: Reciprocity and Responsibility in Personal Relations
(Blackwell Publishing, 1992)When we hold a person responsible, we regard her as answerable for her actions, reaction, and attitudes. We use the concept of responsibility in two contexts, the legal and the personal. We use it in the legal context when ... -
CREATING TRUSTED SYSTEMS IN UNTRUSTED ENVIRONMENTS
(2021-09-27)This dissertation illustrates how to improve the security and privacy of user data in modern Internet services. Three specific domains are examined: client-side IoT deployments, server-side application stacks, and middlebox ... -
Creation and annihilation of free volume during homogeneous flow of a metallic glass
(AIP Publishing, 2005)Bulk samples of Pd41Ni10Cu29P20 glass were tested at constant true stress (20-636 MPa) in compression at 550, 555, and 565 K to study the transition from steady-state creep at low stress to deformation-induced softening ... -
Creation and Control of Two-Dimensional Electron Gas Using Al-Based Amorphous Oxides/SrTiO\(_3\) Heterostructures Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition
(American Chemical Society, 2012)The formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) using \(SrTiO_3\) (STO)-based heterostructures provides promising opportunities in oxide electronics. We realized the formation of 2-DEG using several amorphous ... -
Creative Destruction and Subjective Well-Being
(American Economic Association, 2016)In this paper we analyze the relationship between turnover-driven growth and subjective well-being. Our model of innovation-led growth and unemployment predicts that: (i) the effect of creative destruction on expected ... -
Creative histories: Memories of past lives and measures of creativity.
(American Psychological Association (APA), 2014)Experiencing memories of past lives is anomalous in Western culture. Such experiences may signify an overinclusive cognitive style, associated with creative ability. Accordingly, are reports of past life memory (PLM) ... -
Creciendo juntos: Cultural Pathways in Mexican-Origin Childrens Spanish and English Oral Language Development in Early Childhood
(2023-08-17)This dissertation helps elucidate the cultural pathways linked to Latinx children’s early Spanish and English oral language development and contributes to the field’s understanding of within-group variability in bilingual ... -
Credible causal inference for empirical legal studies
(Annual Reviews, 2011)We review advances toward credible causal inference that have wide application for empirical legal studies. Our chief point is simple: Research design trumps methods of analysis. We explain matching and regression discontinuity ... -
Credible Commitments and the International Criminal Court
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)The creation of an International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute war crimes poses a real puzzle. Why was it created, and more importantly, why do states agree to join this institution? The ICC represents a serious intrusion ... -
Credit Constraints and the Cyclicality of R&D Investment: Evidence from France
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)We use a French firm-level data set containing 13,000 firms over the period 1994–2004 to analyze the relationship between credit constraints and firms’ R&D behavior over the business cycle. Our main results can be summarized ... -
Credit Constraints and the Cyclicality of R&D Investment: Evidence from France
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012)We use a French firm-level panel data set over the period 1993-2004 to analyze the relationship between credit constraints and firms' R&D behavior over the business cycle. Our main results can be summarized as follows: (i) ... -
