Deterministic Coupling of a Single Nitrogen Vacancy Center to a Photonic Crystal Cavity
(American Chemical Society, 2010)We describe and experimentally demonstrate a technique for deterministic, large coupling between a photonic crystal (PC) nanocavity and single photon emitters. The technique is based on in situ scanning of a PC cavity over ... -
Deterministic design of wavelength scale, ultra-high Q photonic crystal nanobeam cavities
(Optical Society of America, 2011)Photonic crystal nanobeam cavities are versatile platforms of interest for optical communications, optomechanics, optofluidics, cavity QED, etc. In a previous work [Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 203102 (2010)], we proposed a ... -
Deterministic Extractors for Small-Space Sources
(Elsevier BV, 2011)We give polynomial-time, deterministic randomness extractors for sources generated in small space, where we model space s sources on n{0,1} as sources generated by width s2 branching programs. Specifically, there is a ... -
Deterministic Public-Key Encryption for Adaptively Chosen Plaintext Distributions
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013)Bellare, Boldyreva, and O’Neill (CRYPTO ’07) initiated the study of deterministic public-key encryption as an alternative in scenarios where randomized encryption has inherent drawbacks. The resulting line of research has ... -
Deterministic Single-Cell Encapsulation for in Vitro Microsystems and Therapeutic Cell Delivery
(2017-05-15)Encapsulation of cells into microscale hydrogels (microgels) may abet a number of regenerative medicine therapies by enabling precise microscale control in assembly of complex tissue mimics and programming in vivo delivery ... -
Deterring or Displacing Electoral Irregularities? Spillover Effects of Observers in a Randomized Field Experiment in Ghana
(Cambridge University Press, 2012)This article studies the effect of domestic observers deployed to reduce irregularities in voter registration in a new democracy, and in particular, the response of political parties’ agents to these observers. Because ... -
Dethroning Justice: Race, Law, and Police after Slavery
(2021-08-31)The abolition of slavery in Jamaica and the United States, in 1834 and 1865 respectively, began the process of emancipation. In the three decades following abolition, former slaves and former slave owners struggled over ... -
Detki v kletke: The Childlike Aesthetic in Soviet Children's Literature and Unofficial Poetry
(2016-05-18)Since its inception in 1918, Soviet children’s literature was acclaimed as innovative and exciting, often in contrast to other official Soviet literary production. Indeed, avant-garde artists worked in this genre for the ... -
Deuteronomy and the Medes
The Jerusalem priesthood produced the Book of Deuteronomy in the late seventh century BCE. It restates concisely and eloquently the teachings of the rest of the Torah in a single volume that is tightly structured around ... -
Developing a Camera-Based Sensing System for a Soft Robotic Finger
(2022-06-03)Soft robots have gained a lot of interest amongst many researchers and companies due to their materials, making them highly adaptable to their environments. However, the very characteristic that makes them so appealing – ... -
Developing A Community-based Genetic Nomenclature for Anole Lizards
(BioMed Central, 2011)Background: Comparative studies of amniotes have been hindered by a dearth of reptilian molecular sequences. With the genomic assembly of the green anole, Anolis carolinensis available, non-avian reptilian genes can now ... -
Developing a competency-based training tool to introduce word reading drills to novice learners
(2021-04-08)There are two major goals in this study: (1) propose a novel use of technology for learning Japanese katakana that enables the use of early word reading drills for beginners to help them learn new characters through finishing ... -
Developing and characterizing phage-encoded homologous recombination machinery as a genome editing tool
(2021-09-15)The ability to efficiently and precisely modify the genome of living organisms is one of the most important technological advances of this generation, and propels the accelerating progress of basic research, biotechnology, ... -
Developing and Testing a Bayesian Analysis of Fluorescence Lifetime Measurements
(Public Library of Science, 2017)FRET measurements can provide dynamic spatial information on length scales smaller than the diffraction limit of light. Several methods exist to measure FRET between fluorophores, including Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging ... -
Developing Cell Biology
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2013)Experiments in Xenopus embryo extracts reveal that changes in cellular biochemistry cause mitotic spindles to decrease in size over the course of early development. -
Developing Computational Methods for Analyzing Metabolomics Data and Applications to Study Obesity
(2018-05-08)Metabolomics is a powerful approach for discovering biomarkers and for characterizing the biochemical consequences of genetic variation. This dissertation consists of several projects that focused on developing computational ... -
Developing experimental and computational approaches to characterize viral distribution, spread, and variant emergence
(2022-05-16)Many viral mutations that impact human pathogenicity arise over the course of disease, yet intrahost viral dynamics remain poorly characterized. Mutations that emerge during infection may confer adaptation for invasion or ... -
Developing Human Stem Cell Derived Motor Neuron Models of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(2014-10-21)Human neurodegenerative disorders are among the most difficult to study. In particular, the inability to readily obtain the faulty cell types most relevant to these diseases has impeded progress for decades. Amyotrophic ... -
Developing strategies to enhance immune responses induced by mesoporous silica rod vaccines
(2023-06-01)Therapeutic cancer vaccination can stimulate the immune system to specifically eradicate tumor cells and establish long-term memory to prevent tumor recurrence. However, an efficacious cancer vaccine has remained elusive. ...
