"Diasporas,” Mobility and the Social Imaginary: Getting Ahead in West Africa
(Association of Third World Studies, 2010)The article presents the lecture "'Diasporas,' Mobility and the Social Imaginary: Getting Ahead in West Africa," by Emmanuel Akyeampong, that was delivered as the keynote lecture at the 27th Annual Conference of the Third ... -
Diastereoselective Additions of Allylmetal Reagents to Free and Protectedsyn-?,?-Dihydroxyketones Enable Efficient Synthetic Routes to Methyl Trioxacarcinoside A
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)Two routes to the 2,6-dideoxysugar methyl trioxacarcinoside A are described. Each was enabled by an apparent α-chelation-controlled addition of an allylmetal reagent to a ketone substrate containing a free α-hydroxyl group ... -
Dicke phase transition without total spin conservation
(American Physical Society, 2016)We develop a fermionic path-integral formalism to analyze the phase diagram of open nonequilibrium systems. The formalism is applied to analyze an ensemble of two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode optical cavity, ... -
Dicke quantum spin glass of atoms and photons
(American Physical Society, 2011)Recent studies of strongly interacting atoms and photons in optical cavities have rekindled interest in the Dicke model of atomic qubits coupled to discrete photon cavity modes. We study the multimode Dicke model with ... -
Dicke-Model Quantum Spin and Photon Glass in Optical Cavities: Nonequilibrium Theory and Experimental Signatures
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)In the context of ultracold atoms in multimode optical cavities, the appearance of a quantum-critical glass phase of atomic spins has been predicted recently. Due to the long-range nature of the cavity-mediated interactions, ... -
The Dictator's Modernity Dilemma: Theory and Evidence From South Korea
(2016-05-18)Under what conditions are political institutions more or less effective at neutralizing opposition forces? To date, political scientists have generated conflicting evidence about the effects of economic development and ... -

Did Illegally Counted Overseas Absentee Ballots Decide the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election?
(American Political Science Association, 2004)Although not widely known until much later, Al Gore received 202 more votes than George W. Bush on election day in Florida. George W. Bush is president because he overcame his election day deficit with overseas absentee ... -
Did Medicare Induce Pharmaceutical Innovation?
(American Economic Association, 2006)The introduction of Medicare in 1965 was the single largest change in health insurance coverage in U.S. history. Many economists and commentators have conjectured that the introduction of Medicare may have also been an ... -
Did Sappho and Alcaeus Ever Meet?

Did sulfate availability facilitate the evolutionary expansion of chlorophyll a+c phytoplankton in the oceans?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)During the Mesozoic Era, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids and diatoms became prominent primary producers in the oceans, succeeding an earlier biota in which green algae and cyanobacteria had been proportionally more ... -
Did the Federal Drinking Age Save Lives?

Did the States Pocket the Obama Stimulus Money: Lessons from Cross-Section Regression and Interviews with State Officials
(University of Massachusetts Amherst, 2015)This paper deploys cross-section regressions and open-ended interviews to assess the impact of grants to the states under the Obama stimulus (ARRA) of 2009-2011. Contrary to John Taylor and John Cogan (Taylor 2011a, b; ... -
Did Wages Reflect Growth in Productivity?
(Elsevier, 2008)The level of productivity doubled in the U.S. nonfarm business sector between 1970 and 2006. Wages, or more accurately total compensation per hour, increased at approximately the same annual rate during that period if ... -
