From Idea to Product - Translating Knowledge between the Lab and the Clinic
(2012-09-12)This dissertation is composed of three essays looking at innovation at Academic Medical Centers. It tries to empirically explore the problem of translating knowledge from the laboratory bench to the clinic and from the ... -
From Illness as Culture to Caregiving as Moral Experience

From Insurgent to Incumbent: State Building and Service Provision After Rebel Victory in Civil Wars
(2018-05-14)How do rebel organizations govern when they gain control of an internationally recognized state? I advance an organization-level theory, arguing that ideology affects recruitment, socialization of fighters and followers, ... -
From Knots to Narratives: Reconstructing the Art of Historical Record Keeping in the Andes from Spanish Transcriptions of Inka Khipus
(Duke University Press, 1998)Based on a close examination of Spanish translations and transcriptions of "readings" of Inka khipus (knotted-string recording devices) by native "knotkeepers/makers" during the sixteenth century, I make suggestions about ... -

From Memory to Mastery: Accounting for Control in America, 1750-1880
(2013-02-11)From Memory to Mastery charts the development of commercial numeracy and accounting in America and the English-speaking Atlantic world between 1750 and 1880. Over this period, accounting evolved from a system of recordkeeping ... -
From Middle Horizon cord-keeping to the rise of Inka khipus in the central Andes
(Antiquity Publications, 2014)Recording devices formed of knotted cords, known as khipus, are a well-known feature of imperial administration among the Inka of Andean South America. The origins and antecedents of this recording system are, however, ... -
From Navier-Stokes to Einstein
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)We show by explicit construction that for every solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation in \(p + 1\) dimensions, there is a uniquely associated “dual” solution of the vacuum Einstein equations in \(p + 2\) ... -
From Neural 'Is' to Moral 'Ought': What are the Moral Implications of Neuroscientific Moral Psychology?
(Nature Publishing Group, 2003)Many moral philosophers regard scientific research as irrelevant to their work because science deals with what is the case, whereas ethics deals with what ought to be. Some ethicists question this is/ought distinction, ... -
From Neural Stem Cells to Children: Secreted Phosphoprotein 1 in Lead Neurotoxicity
(2015-05-14)Lead (Pb) exposure in the earliest stages of neurodevelopment leads to lasting deficits in cognitive function and behavior. Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent stem cells and the first cells of the central nervous ... -
From Noncoding Variant to Phenotype via SORT1 at the 1p13 Cholesterol Locus
(Springer Nature, 2010)Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified a locus on chromosome 1p13 strongly associated with both plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and myocardial infarction (MI) in humans. Here we ... -
From nucleus to axon: Spatial regulation of bclw mRNA promotes neurotrophin-dependent axon survival
(2015-05-07)During development, dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons depend on target-derived neurotrophins to establish a functional circuit capable of conveying sensory information to the central nervous system. Neurotrophins signal ... -
From Parthia to Robin Hood: The Epic of the Blind Man’s Son.

From partner choice to equity – and beyond?
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2013)Baumard et al. provide an intriguing model where morality emerges from the dynamics of partner choice in mutualistic interactions. I discuss evidence from human and nonhuman primates that supports the overall approach, but ... -
From Parts to Identity: Invariance and Sensitivity of Face Representations to Different Face Halves
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Recognizing the identity of a face is computationally challenging, because it requires distinguishing between similar images depicting different people, while recognizing even very different images depicting a same person. ... -
From Permission to Prohibition: Paul and the Early Church on Mixed Marriage
(Rome: Gregorian and Biblical Press, 2011) -
From Petrov-Einstein to Navier-Stokes
(2014-06-06)The fluid/gravity correspondence relates solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation to metrics which solve the Einstein equations. We propose propose two possible approaches to establish this correspondence: ... -
From Piecemeal to Configurational Representation of Faces
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 1977)Unlike older children and adults, children of less than about 10 years of age remember photographs of faces presented upside down almost as well as those shown upright and are easily fooled by simple disguises. The development ... -
From Pixels to Physics: Probabilistic Color De-Rendering
(IEEE, 2012)Consumer digital cameras use tone-mapping to produce compact, narrow-gamut images that are nonetheless visually pleasing. In doing so, they discard or distort substantial radiometric signal that could otherwise be used for ...
