Disease in history, history in disease: An interview with Charles Rosenberg
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) -
Disease in History: Frames and Framers
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1989)In some ways disease does not exist until we agree that it does-by perceiving, naming, and responding to it. These acts of agreement have during the past century become increasingly central to social as well as medical ... -
DiseaseConnect: a comprehensive web server for mechanism-based disease–disease connections
(Oxford University Press, 2014)The DiseaseConnect (http://disease-connect.org) is a web server for analysis and visualization of a comprehensive knowledge on mechanism-based disease connectivity. The traditional disease classification system groups ... -
Disentangling Accountability and Competence in Elections: Evidence from U.S. Term Limits
(Cambridge University Press, 2011)We exploit variation in U.S. gubernatorial term limits across states and time to empirically estimate two separate effects of elections on government performance. Holding tenure in office constant, differences in performance ... -
Disentangling Electronic and Vibronic Coherences in Two-Dimensional Echo Spectra
(American Chemical Society, 2013)The prevalence of long-lasting oscillatory signals in two-dimensional (2D) echo spectroscopy of light-harvesting complexes has led to a search for possible mechanisms. We investigate how two causes of oscillatory signals ... -
Disentangling Neutrino Oscillations
(Elsevier, 2009)The theory underlying neutrino oscillations has been described at length in the literature. The neutrino state produced by a weak decay is usually portrayed as a linear superposition of mass eigenstates with, variously, ... -
Disentangling Ribbon Worm Relationships: Multi-Locus Analysis Supports Traditional Classification of the Phylum Nemertea
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)The phylogenetic relationships of selected members of the phylum Nemertea are explored by means of six markers amplified from the genomic DNA of freshly collected specimens (the nuclear 18S rRNA and 28S rRNA genes, histones ... -
Disentangling the Coevolutionary Histories of Animal Gut Microbiomes
(2015-05-17)Animals associate with microbes in complex interactions with profound fitness consequences. These interactions play an enormous role in the evolution of both partners, and recent advances in sequencing technology have ... -
Disentangling the Effects of Cognitive Development and Linguistic Expertise: A Longitudinal Study of the Acquisition of English in Internationally-Adopted Children
(Elsevier, 2011-10-03)Early language development is characterized by predictable changes in the words children produce and the complexity of their utterances. In infants these changes could reflect increasing linguistic expertise or cognitive ... -
Disentangling the Roles of Form and Motion in Fish Swimming Performance
(2017-05-11)A central theme of comparative biomechanics is linking patterns of variation in morphology with variation in locomotor performance. This presents a unique challenge in fishes, given their extraordinary morphological diversity ... -
Disequilibrium Dynamics with Inventories and Anticipatory Price-Setting
(Elsevier, 1981)This paper studies the sequence of short-run quantity-constrained equilibria of a model with a single storable output, labor and money. The durability of output gives rise to inventory fluctuations which influence the ... -
A Disintegrating Minor Planet Transiting a White Dwarf
(Springer Nature, 2015)White dwarfs are the end state of most stars, including the Sun, after they exhaust their nuclear fuel. Between 1/4 and 1/2 of white dwarfs have elements heavier than helium in their atmospheres1,2, even though these ... -
A disk of dust and molecular gas around a high-mass protostar
(Springer Nature, 2005)The processes leading to the birth of low-mass stars such as our Sun have been well studied1, but the formation of high-mass (over eight times the Sun's mass, Mcircle dot) stars remains poorly understood2. Recent studies ... -
Disk-assisted Spin-down of Young Radio Pulsars
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)We present a model for the spin-down of young radio pulsars in which the neutron star loses rotational energy not only by emitting magnetic dipole radiation but also by torquing a surrounding disk produced by supernova ... -
Disks Irradiated by Beamed Radiation from Compact Objects
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)We examine the reprocessing of X-radiation from compact objects by accretion disks when the X-ray emission from the star is highly beamed. The reprocessed flux for various degrees of beaming and inclinations of the beam ... -
The Dislike of Regular Plurals in Compounds: Phonological Familiarity or Morphological Constraint?
(John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2007)English speakers disfavor compounds containing regular plurals compared to irregular ones. Haskell, MacDonald and Seidenberg (2003) attribute this phenomenon to the rarity of compounds containing words with the ... -
Dislocation and Impurity Effects in Smectic-A Liquid Crystals
(American Institute of Physics, 1975)The effects of dislocations and impurities on the macroscopic elastic properties of smectic‐A liquid crystals are discussed. The first conclusion is that smectics behave like linear elastic media only so long as the stresses ... -
Dislocation climb in two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics
(AIP Publishing, 2012-05-15)In this paper, dislocation climb is incorporated in a two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics model. Calculations are carried out for polycrystalline thin films, passivated on one or both surfaces. Climb allows ... -
Dislocation Density-Dependent Quality Factors in InGaN Quantum Dot Containing Microdisks
(American Institute of Physics, 2011)Microdisks incorporating InGaN quantum dots were fabricated using SiO2 microspheres as a hard mask in conjunction with a photoelectrochemical etch step from a structure containing a sacrificial InGaN/InGaN superlattice. ... -
Dislocation Effects in Smectic-A Liquid Crystals
(American Institute of Physics, 1974)A method for calculating stress‐strain fields around edge dislocations in smectic‐A samples is discussed. In large part the method is isomorphic with the formalism for calculating magnetic fields around lines of electric ...
