Female Behaviour Drives Expression and Evolution of Gustatory Receptors in Butterflies
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Secondary plant compounds are strong deterrents of insect oviposition and feeding, but may also be attractants for specialist herbivores. These insect-plant interactions are mediated by insect gustatory receptors (Grs) and ... -
Female Competition over Core Areas in Pan Troglodytes Schweinfurthii, Kibale National Park, Uganda
(Springer Verlag, 2008)Aggression is rare among wild female chimpanzees. However, in the Kanyawara chimpanzee community in Kibale National Park, Uganda, stable use of food-rich core areas is linked to increased reproductive success, suggesting ... -
Female Labor Force Participation: The Origin of Black and White Differences, 1870 and 1880
(Cambridge University Press, 1977)Although white women have only recently entered the work force, their black counterparts have participated throughout American history. Differences between their rates of participation have been recorded only for the ... -
Female Reproductive Synchrony Predicts Skewed Paternity Across Primates
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Recent studies have uncovered remarkable variation in paternity within primate groups. To date, however, we lack a general understanding of the factors that drive variation in paternity skew among primate groups and across ... -
Female Revenge on the Early Modern Stage
(2022-06-06)The outsized influence of Hamlet has caused “revenge tragedy” and male protagonists to dominate critical considerations of retributive violence in early modern drama. Female Revenge on the Early Modern Stage centralizes ... -
Female Rishis and Philosophers in the Veda?
(Asiatica Association, 2009)It is a traditional but common misconception that a considerable number of Ṛgvedic hymns were composed by women. Though female authors and interlocutors are not entirely absent from the Vedas the role of 'literate' women ... -
Feminist Invisibility: The examples of Anne Bradstreet and Anne Hutchinson
(Duke University Press, 1993) -
Feminist philosophy of science: history, contributions, and challenges
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2010)Feminist philosophy of science has led to improvements in the practices and products of scientific knowledge-making, and in this way it exemplifies socially relevant philosophy of science. It has also yielded important ... -
Femtosecond dynamics of resonant tunneling and superlattice relaxation in quantum cascade lasers
(AIP Publishing, 2008-03-28) -
Femtosecond Laser Ablation Reveals Antagonistic Sensory and Neuroendocrine Signaling that Underlie C. elegans Behavior and Development
(2015)SUMMARY The specific roles of neuronal subcellular components in behavior and development remain largely unknown, even though advances in molecular biology and conventional whole-cell laser ablation have greatly accelerated ... -
Femtosecond laser direct writing of 3D metallic structures and 2D graphite
(2014-06-06)This thesis explores a novel methodology to fabricate three dimensional (3D) metal-dielectric structures, and two dimensional (2D) graphite layers for emerging metamaterials and graphene applications. The investigations ... -
Femtosecond Laser Processing of Wide Bandgap Semiconductors and Their Applications
(2014-11-19)This thesis explores the production, characterization, and water oxidation efficiency of wide bandgap semiconductors made through femtosecond-laser irradiation of various materials. Our investigation focuses on three ... -
Femtosecond-laser hyperdoping and texturing of silicon for photovoltaic applications
(2014-06-06)This dissertation explores strategies for improving photolvoltaic efficiency and reducing cost using femtosecond-laser processing methods including surface texturing and hyperdoping. Our investigations focus on two aspects: ... -
The Fenian Narrative Corpus, c.600–c.2000: A Reassessment
(2015-05-11)This dissertation traces the historical development of the Fenian narrative tradition—i.e. the vast body of story and song, some of it well over a millennium old, about the Gaelic hero, Fionn Mac Cumhaill and his roving ... -
Fermi Gas Microscope
(2012-08-03)Recent advances in using microscopes in ultracold atom experiment have allowed experimenters for the first time to directly observe and manipulate individual atoms in individual lattice sites. This technique enhances our ... -
The Fermi Haze: A Gamma-Ray Counterpart to the Microwave Haze
(IOP Publishing, 2010)The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope reveals a diffuse inverse Compton (IC) signal in the inner Galaxy with a similar spatial morphology to the microwave haze observed by WMAP, supporting the synchrotron interpretation of ... -
Fermi polaron-polaritons in charge-tunable atomically thin semiconductors
(Springer Nature, 2016)The dynamics of a mobile quantum impurity in a degenerate Fermi system is a fundamental problem in many-body physics. The interest in this field has been renewed due to recent ground-breaking experiments with ultracold ... -
Fermi polarons in two dimensions
(American Physical Society, 2012)We theoretically analyze inverse radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy experiments in two-component Fermi gases. We consider a small number of impurity atoms interacting strongly with a bath of majority atoms. In two-dimensional ... -
Fermi Surface and Pseudogap Evolution in a Cuprate Superconductor
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2014)The unclear relationship between cuprate superconductivity and the pseudogap state remains an impediment to understanding the high transition temperature (Tc) superconducting mechanism. Here, we used magnetic field–dependent ...
