Danger Ahead: The Reach-for-Yield Behavioral Transmission Mechanism Across Risky Assets
(2016-07-06)This paper argues for the existence of a reach-for-yield behavioral transmission mechanism which, during low-interest rate periods, drives a higher willingness to pay for dividend yield in various yield assets like high-yield ... -
Dangerous Encounters: Riots, Railways, and the Politics of Difference in French Public Space (1860-2012)
(2013-09-26)This dissertation builds a socio-cultural biography of Paris's Gare du Nord, Europe's largest railway station, from its transnational aims to connect Europe in the nineteenth century, to early twentieth century strikes, ... -
The Dangers of Extreme Counterfactuals
(Oxford University Press, 2006)We address the problem that occurs when inferences about counterfactuals -- predictions, "what if" questions, and causal effects -- are attempted far from the available data. The danger of these extreme counterfactuals is ... -
Dante’s “ultimo lavoro”: History, Self, and the Rebirth of the Pastoral in Italy
(2023-05-12)In the second half of 1319, the Bolognese scholar and poet Giovanni del Virgilio composes and sends to Dante, who at the time is residing in Ravenna at the court of Guido Novello da Polenta, a metrical epistle inviting him ... -
Dark and Light: Unifying the Origins of Dark and Visible Matter
(2012-07-23)The Standard Model of particle physics can account for neither the dark matter dominating the universe's matter density, nor the baryon asymmetry that leads to the visible matter density. This dissertation explores models ... -
Dark Begets Light: Exploring Physics Beyond the Standard Model with Cosmology
(2023-05-12)After nearly a century of inquiry, the particle nature of dark matter remains unknown. As a wide array of Dark Matter (DM) phenomenologies map onto similar variations in cosmological observ- ables, cosmology places ... -
A Dark Energy Camera Search for an Optical Counterpart to the First Advanced Ligo Gravitational Wave Event Gw150914
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)We report initial results of a deep search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW150914, the first trigger from the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors. We used the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) ... -
A Dark Energy Camera Search for Missing Supergiants in the Lmc After the Advanced Ligo Gravitational-Wave Event Gw150914
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)The collapse of the core of a star is expected to produce gravitational radiation. While this process will usually produce a luminous supernova, the optical signatue could be subluminous and a direct collapse to a black ... -
Dark Matter as a Trigger for Periodic Comet Impacts
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)Although statistical evidence is not overwhelming, possible support for an approximately \(35 \times 10^6\) yr periodicity in the crater record on Earth could indicate a nonrandom underlying enhancement of meteorite impacts ... -
Dark Matter Interpretations of ATLAS Searches for the Electroweak Production of Supersymmetric Particles in S =8 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions
(Springer Nature, 2016)A selection of searches by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC for the electroweak production of SUSY particles are used to study their impact on the constraints on dark matter candidates. The searches use 20 fb−1 of proton–proton ... -
The Dark Side of the Mind
(National Humanities Center, 2011) -
Dark-Disk Universe
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We point out that current constraints on dark matter imply only that the majority of dark matter is cold and collisionless. A subdominant fraction of dark matter could have much stronger interactions. In particular, it ... -
Dark-Matter-Induced Weak Equivalence Principle Violation
(American Physical Society, 2009)A long-range fifth force coupled to dark matter can induce a coupling to ordinary matter if the dark matter interacts with Standard Model fields. We consider constraints on such a scenario from both astrophysical observations ... -
Darkology: The Hidden History of Amateur Blackface Minstrelsy and the Making of Modern America, 1860-1970
(2016-05-16)Darkology: The Hidden History of Amateur Blackface Minstrelsy and the Making of Modern America, 1860-1970 develops a critical bibliography and uses material culture to uncover the pervasive world of amateur blackface ... -

Dasch Discovery of a Possible Nova-like Outburst in a Peculiar Symbiotic Binary
(American Astronomical Society, 2012)We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of a peculiar variable (designated DASCH J075731.1+201735 or J0757) discovered from our DASCH project using the digitized Harvard College Observatory archival photographic ... -
Data Flow Management and Compliance in Cloud Computing
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-07)As cloud computing becomes an increasingly dominant means of providing computing resources, the legal and regulatory issues associated with data in the cloud become more pronounced. These issues derive primarily from four ...
