Currency Choice and Exchange Rate Pass-through
(American Economic Association, 2010)In the open economy macro literature with nominal rigidities, the currency in which goods are priced has important implications for optimal monetary and exchange rate policy and for exchange rate pass-through. We show, ... -
Currency Crises and Monetary Policy in an Economy with Credit Constraints
(Elsevier, 2001)This paper presents a simple model of currency crises which is driven by the interplay between the credit constraints of private domestic firms and the existence of nominal price rigidities. The possibility of multiple ... -
Currency Unions
(MIT Press, 2002)Common currencies affect trading costs and, thereby, the amounts of trade, output, and consumption. From the perspective of monetary policy, the adoption of another country's currency trades off the benefits of commitment ... -
The Current Distribution of Deformation in the Western Tien Shan from Block Models Constrained by Geodetic Data
(Academy of Sciences of USSR, 2001)We interpret Global Positioning System measurements of interseismic deformation throughout the western Tien Shan in the context of a block model which accounts for important geologic features (faults) and physical processes ... -
The Current Economic Crisis and the Welfare State
(Bremen Zentrum für Sozialpolitik, Universität Bremen, 2010) -
Current Understanding of Ecdysozoa and its Internal Phylogenetic Relationships
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017)Twenty years after its proposal, the monophyly of molting protostomes—Ecdysozoa—is a well-corroborated hypothesis, but the interrelationships of its major subclades are more ambiguous than is commonly appreciated. ... -
Current views on chelicerate phylogeny—A tribute to Peter Weygoldt
(Elsevier BV, 2018)Peter Weygoldt pioneered studies of arachnid phylogeny by providing the first synapomorphy scheme to underpin inter-ordinal relationships. Since this seminal work, arachnid relationships have been evaluated using morphological ... -
Current-modulated optical properties of vanadium dioxide thin films in the phase transition region
(AIP Publishing, 2014)Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a correlated electron material which undergoes an insulator-metal transition proximal to room temperature. The large change of optical properties across this phase transition is promising for ... -
Curse and Satire
(National University of Ireland, 1986) -
The Curse of the Nation-State: Refugees, Migration, and Security in International Law
(Arizona State Law School, 2016)How does international law protect migrants? For the most part, it does not. Of the millions of people who flee persecution, conflict, and poverty each year, international law protects only refugees: those who flee persecution ... -
Curvature Condensation and Bifurcation in an Elastic Shell
(American Physical Society, 2007)We study the formation and evolution of localized geometrical defects in an indented cylindrical elastic shell using a combination of experiment and numerical simulation. We find that as a symmetric localized indentation ... -
Curves of Every Genus with Many Points, II: Asymptotically Good Families
(Duke University Press, 2004)We resolve a 1983 question of Serre by constructing curves with many points of every genus over every finite field. More precisely, we show that for every prime power q there is a positive constant c_q with the following ... -
The Curving Shore of Time and Space: Notes on the Prologue to Pushkin’s Ruslan and Ludmila
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2012) -
Cusps are Dense
(Princeton University Press, 1991)We show cusps are dense in Bers' boundary for Teichmuller space. The proof rests on an estimate for the algebraic effect of a unit quasiconformal deformation supported in the thin part of the Riemann surface. -
Cut and Paste: The Mobile Image From Watteau to Robert
(2016-05-16)This dissertation takes a mode of production — cutting-and-pasting in its most literal and more abstract forms — as a tool for thinking anew about eighteenth-century French art and visual culture in two key ways. The first ... -
Cutaneous Biology and Endogenous Opioids: How the Skin Modulates Pain and Addiction
(2014-02-25)The Proopiomelanocortin gene, (POMC), produces many biologically active peptides including the endogenous opioid, β-endorphin, and the melanocortins: α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone, (αMSH), γMSH, ... -
Cutaneous Papillomavirus E6 Inhibit NOTCH and TGF-Beta Signaling to Disrupt Keratinocyte Differentiation.
(2017-01-19)Cutaneous beta-papillomaviruses are associated with non-melanoma skin cancers that arise in patients who suffer from a rare genetic disorder, Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis or after immunosuppression following organ ... -
Cyanide Photochemistry and Nitrogen Fractionation in the Mwc 480 Disk
(IOP Publishing, 2015)HCN is a commonly observed molecule in Solar System bodies and in interstellar environments. Its abundance with respect to CN is a proposed tracer of UV exposure. HCN is also frequently used to probe the thermal history ... -
Cyanobacteria and Friends: Engineered Photosynthetic Microbial Communities
(2017-02-10)Microbial communities are the rule rather than the exception. Laboratories using model organisms often focus on monoclonal, axenic cultures overlooking the importance of the interactions, division of labor, and robustness ... -
Cyborg Organoids: Implantation of Nanoelectronics via Organogenesis for Tissue-Wide Electrophysiology
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-07-26)Tissue-wide electrophysiology with single-cell and millisecond spatiotemporal resolution is critical for heart and brain studies. Issues arise, however, from the invasive, localized implantation of electronics that destroys ...
