(De)Constructing Dimensions
(American Physical Society (APS), 2001)We construct renormalizable, asymptotically free, four dimensional gauge theories that dynamically generate a fifth dimension. -
Deactivation of metastable single-crystal silicon hyperdoped with sulfur
(AIP Publishing, 2013)Silicon supersaturated with sulfur by ion implantation and pulsed laser melting exhibits broadband optical absorption of photons with energies less than silicon's band gap. However, this metastable, hyperdoped material ... -

DEADEYE: Differential Expressivity As Dataset fairnEss/usabilitY Estimator
(2022-05-23)Over the past several years, significant research has gone into analyzing algorithmic fairness -- the problem of ensuring ML algorithms do not exhibit biases against protected groups. That research demonstrated that, given ... -
Dealing with debt
(Elsevier BV, 2015)This paper explores the menu of options for renormalizing public debt levels relative to nominal activity in the long run, should governments eventually decide to do so. Although debt ratios may need to rise further in ... -
Dealing with Interference on Experimentation Platforms
(2018-09-16)The theory of causal inference, as formalized by the potential outcomes framework, relies on an assumption that the experimental units are independent. When independence is not tenable, we say there is interference, and ... -
Dealing with Limited Overlap in Estimation of Average Treatment Effects
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Estimation of average treatment effects under unconfounded or ignorable treatment assignment is often hampered by lack of overlap in the covariate distributions between treatment groups. This lack of overlap can lead to ... -
Dealing with Long-Term Deficits

Dealing with noncompliance and missing outcomes in a randomized trial using Bayesian technology: Prevention of perinatal sepsis clinical trial, Soweto, South Africa
(Elsevier BV, 2010)The success of interventions designed to address important issues in social and medical science is best addressed by randomized experiments. With human beings there are often complications, however, such as noncompliance ... -
Dealing with the Past: History and Identity in Serbia and Croatia
(2013-02-12)This project analyzes the influence of history and myths in the construction of ethnic identity narratives by intellectuals and elites, as well as the appropriation and negotiation of these identities among contemporary ... -
Death by Survey: Estimating Adult Mortality without Selection Bias from Sibling Survival Data
(Population Association of America, 2006)The widely used methods for estimating adult mortality rates from sample survey responses aboutthe survival of siblings, parents, spouses, and others depend crucially on an assumption that, as we demonstrate, does not hold ... -
The Death of Isabella Della Volpe: Four Eyewitness Accounts of a Postmortem Caesarean Section in 1545
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008)This article provides a transcription and translation of four notarized declarations describing the events surrounding a postmortem caesarean section performed in 1545 in Vercelli, a small city in the Duchy of Savoy. After ... -

'Death', Doxography, and the 'Termerian Evil' (Philodemus, Epigr. 27 Page = A. P. 11.30)

Deaths from Heart Failure: Using Coarsened Exact Matching to Correct Cause-of-Death Statistics
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background: Incomplete information on death certificates makes recorded cause-of-death data less useful for public health monitoring and planning. Certifying physicians sometimes list only the mode of death without indicating ... -
Debonding and fracture of ceramic islands on polymer substrates
(AIP Publishing, 2012-01)We perform in-situ uniaxial tensile tests on polyimide substrates with patterned ceramic islands. The islands fail by either channel cracking or debonding from the substrate, depending on island size and thickness. To ... -
Debt Enforcement Around the World
(University of Chicago Press, 2008)Insolvency practitioners from 88 countries describe how debt enforcement will proceed against an identical hotel about to default on its debt. We use the data on time, cost, and the likely disposition of the assets ... -
Debugging the Digital Self
(2023-05-08)The goal of this project is to make sense of what our increasingly digital world means for what and who we are, and the epistemic and moral implications thereof. In doing so, I present a theory of “digital self-making ... -
A Decade of Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst Broad-Band Afterglows: Energetics, Circumburst Densities, and Jet Opening Angles
(IOP Publishing, 2015)We present a comprehensive catalog and analysis of broad-band afterglow observations for 103 short duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), comprised of all short GRBs from November 2004 to March 2015 with prompt follow-up ...
