Freedom from Value Judgments: Value-Free Social Science and Objectivity in Germany, 1880-1914
(2013-08-12)This dissertation addresses a central issue in the methodological debates that raged in the German academy around the turn of the twentieth century. The idea of "value-free" social science, or "value-freedom," was passed ... -
Freeze/Thaw-Induced Embolism: Probability of Critical Bubble Formation Depends on Speed of Ice Formation
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012)Bubble formation in the conduits of woody plants sets a challenge for uninterrupted water transportation from the soil up to the canopy. Freezing and thawing of stems has been shown to increase the number of air-filled ... -
Freezing of compact random heteropolymers with correlated sequence fluctuations
(AIP Publishing, 1998)Random heteropolymers (RHPs) with uncorrelated sequence fluctuations on the segmental scale can undergo a transition wherein, below a certain temperature, the thermodynamics is determined by a few dominant conformations. ... -
FREQ-Seq: A Rapid, Cost-Effective, Sequencing-Based Method to Determine Allele Frequencies Directly from Mixed Populations
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Understanding evolutionary dynamics within microbial populations requires the ability to accurately follow allele frequencies through time. Here we present a rapid, cost-effective method (FREQ-Seq) that leverages Illumina ... -
Frequency combs induced by phase turbulence

Frequency Domain Multimodel Analysis of the Response of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to Surface Forcing
(American Meteorological Society, 2013)The dynamics of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) vary considerably among different climate models; for example, some models show clear peaks in their power spectra while others do not. To elucidate ... -
Frequency of Price Adjustment and Pass-through
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010)We empirically document using U.S. import prices that on average goods with a high frequency of price adjustment have a long-run pass-through that is at least twice as high as that of low-frequency adjusters. We show ... -
Frequency response of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 all-oxide field-effect transistors
(Elsevier BV, 2012)The frequency response of all oxide field-effect transistors with amorphous LaAlO3 on a crystalline SrTiO3 substrate is reported. The intrinsic cut-off frequencies of 4 μm gate-length devices are found to be approximately ... -
Frequent summer temperature extremes reflect changes in the mean, not the variance
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013) -
FRESCo: finding regions of excess synonymous constraint in diverse viruses
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: The increasing availability of sequence data for many viruses provides power to detect regions under unusual evolutionary constraint at a high resolution. One approach leverages the synonymous substitution rate ... -
Fresh air in the 21st century?
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003)Ozone is an air quality problem today for much of the world's population. Regions can exceed the ozone air quality standards (AQS) through a combination of local emissions, meteorology favoring pollution episodes, and the ... -
FRET measurements of cell-traction forces and nano-scale clustering of adhesion ligands varied by substrate stiffness
(National Academy of Sciences, 2005)The mechanical properties of cell adhesion substrates regulate cell phenotype, but the mechanism of this relation is currently unclear. It may involve the magnitude of traction force applied by the cell, and/or the ability ... -
Freund-schaft: Capturing Aura in an Unframed Literary Exchange
(2013-03-08)This dissertation charts an intellectual history of collaborations centered on the beginning of socio-critical discourse on photography. I study the critically misread oeuvre of photographer and sociologist Gisèle Freund ... -
Friedel oscillations as a probe of fermionic quasiparticles
(American Physical Society, 2016) -
Friendships Moderate an Association between a Dopamine Gene Variant and Political Ideology
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)Scholars in many fields have long noted the importance of social context in the development of political ideology. Recent work suggests that political ideology also has a heritable component, but no specific gene variant ... -
From Almshouse to Hospital: The Shaping of Philadelphia General Hospital
(Blackwell Publishing, 1982)After almost 250 years, one of the nation's first, and most illustrious, hospitals closed. Its demise was a particularly dramatic but representative symptom of a more general decay in the quality of public medicine in ... -
From American City to Japanese Village: A Cross-Cultural Investigation of Implicit Race Attitudes
(Wiley, 2006-09)This study examined the development of implicit race attitudes in American and Japanese children and adults. Implicit ingroup bias was present early in both populations, and remained stable at each age tested (age 6, 10, ... -
From Beyond the Seas

From Border Walls to Wall Street: The Impact of Institutional Change on Local Health
(2021-05-13)The aim of this dissertation is to stimulate and contribute to social epidemiology literature engaging directly with structural and political drivers of population health in the United States as they relate to current day ... -
From Care Plans to Care Coordination: Opportunities for Computer Support of Teamwork in Complex Healthcare
(2015)Children with complex health conditions require care from a large, diverse team of caregivers that includes multiple types of medical professionals, parents and community support organizations. Coordination of their ...
