Deciphering Radical Transport in the Large Subunit of Class I Ribonucleotide Reductase
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)Incorporation of 2,3,6-trifluorotyrosine (F3Y) and a rhenium bipyridine ([Re]) photooxidant into a peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of the β protein (βC19) of Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) allows ... -
Deciphering the biological functions of F-box proteins through the use of Parallel Adaptor Capture (PAC) proteomics.
(2013-10-18)The timely and selective proteasomal degradation of proteins is important for the maintenance of proper cellular processes. Prior to proteasomal degradation, proteins destined for degradation are polyubiquitiylated by ... -
Deciphering the Biological Mechanisms Driving the Phenotype of Interest
(2013-03-15)The two key concepts of Neo-Darwinian evolution theory are genotype and phenotype. Genotype is defined as the genetic constitution of an organism and phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of that organism. ... -
Deciphering the MSSM Higgs Mass at Future Hadron Colliders
(Springer Nature, 2017-06)Future hadron colliders will have a remarkable capacity to discover massive new particles, but their capabilities for precision measurements of couplings that can reveal underlying mechanisms have received less study. In ... -
Deciphering Top Flavor Violation at the LHC with B Factories
(American Physical Society, 2008)The LHC will have unprecedented sensitivity to flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) top quark decays, whose observation would be a clear sign of physics beyond the standard model. Although many details of top flavor ... -
Decision Making for Medical Innovations
(2014-06-06)The objective of this dissertation is to evaluate decision making related to medical innovations. -
Decision Making, Behavioral Development and Fine Motor Control In Larval Zebrafish
(2023-05-02)All organisms need to make decisions after processing sensory inputs. The drift-diffusion model accurately captures average responses observed in the optomotor response of larval zebrafish but fails to capture the structure ... -
Decision Markets with Good Incentives
(Springer Verlag, 2011)Decision markets both predict and decide the future. They allow experts to predict the effects of each of a set of possible actions, and after reviewing these predictions a decision maker selects an action to perform. ... -
Decision Modeling to Inform Resource Prioritization: Methods and Applications
(2022-05-13)This dissertation is comprised of three chapters where I investigated the following policy and methodological questions in health decision science: the potential value of improvement in acute stroke quality measures in the ... -
Decision Support Issues in Central and Eastern Europe
(Routledge, 2016-08-30)Universities in Central and Eastern Europe are caught between enforced data reporting (because the governments want them to account for their activities and performance) and institutional research for strategic development ... -
A decision theory for imprecise probabilities
(University of Michigan, 2015)Those who model doxastic states with a set of probability functions, rather than a single function, face a pressing challenge: can they provide a plausible decision theory compatible with their view? Adam Elga (2010) and ... -
Decision-Making in Research Tasks with Sequential Testing
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Background: In a recent controversial essay, published by JPA Ioannidis in PLoS Medicine, it has been argued that in some research fields, most of the published findings are false. Based on theoretical reasoning it can be ... -
Declaraciones de independencia, 1776-2011. Del derecho natural al derecho internacional
(Colegio de Mexico, 2013) -
Declarative Policies for Capability Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014)In capability-safe languages, components can access a resource only if they possess a capability for that resource. As a result, a programmer can prevent an untrusted component from accessing a sensitive resource by ensuring ... -
The Decline and Rise of Coronary Heart Disease: Understanding Public Health Catastrophism
(American Public Health Association, 2013)The decline of coronary heart disease mortality in the United States and Western Europe is one of the great accomplishments of modern public health and medicine. Cardiologists and cardiovascular epidemiologists have devoted ... -
Decline in bulk deposition of air pollutants in China lags behind reductions in emissions
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-02-21) -
Decline of Violence: Taming the Devil Within Us
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)We are getting smarter, and as a result the world is becoming a more peaceful place, says Steven Pinker. -
The Decline of War and Conceptions of Human Nature
(Wiley, 2013)Many observers are skeptical of the evidence that war has declined, because they think that a decline in war requires an unrealistic, romantic theory of human nature. In fact it is compatible with a hardheaded view of human ... -
Declining (the) Subject: Immunity and the Crisis of Masculine Selfhood in Modern France (1870-2000)
(2013-08-21)I locate my dissertation at the critical intersection of philosophy, medical discourse and literature, and anchor it around five intertwining concepts: modernity, subjectivity, masculinity, immunity and Frenchness. I ... -
Decoding Regulatory T Cell Transcription Factor Networks: From Identity to Diversity
(2023-11-21)Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are dominant controllers of immunological and organismal homeostasis. Tregs play diverse functional roles in lymphoid tissues, where they can adopt specialized phenotypes in response ...
