D,L-Cyclic Peptides as Structural Materials
(2015-04-17)The bioengineer has a choice of building with proteins, peptides, polymers, nucleic acids, lipids, metals and minerals, each class containing tremendous diversity within its category. While the platforms are diverse, they ... -
D--branes and Spinning Black Holes
(Elsevier, 1996)We obtain a new class of spinning charged extremal black holes in five dimensions, considered both as classical configurations and in the Dirichlet (D)-brane representation. The degeneracy of states is computed from the ... -
D-Amino Acids Indirectly Inhibit Biofilm Formation in Bacillus subtilis by Interfering with Protein Synthesis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013)The soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis forms biofilms on surfaces and at air-liquid interfaces. It was previously reported that these biofilms disassemble late in their life cycle and that conditioned medium from late-stage ... -
D-brane Construction of the 5D NHEK Dual
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)Extremal but non-supersymmetric charged black holes with \(SU(2)_L\) spin in IIB string theory compactified to five dimensions on \(K^3 \times S^1\) are considered. These have a near-horizon or NHEK region with an enhanced ... -
D-brane Deconstructions in IIB Orientifolds
(Institute of Physics, 2009)With model building applications in mind, we collect and develop basic techniques to analyze the landscape of D7-branes in type IIB compact Calabi-Yau orientifolds, in three different pictures: F-theory, the D7 worldvolume ... -
D-helix influences dimerization of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter associated with antigen processing 1 (TAP1) nucleotide-binding domain
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form a large family of transmembrane importers and exporters. Using two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), which form a canonical ATP-sandwich dimer at some point within the transport ... -
D-instantons and String Field Theory
(2023-05-12)In this thesis, we study D-instanton contributions to supergraviton scattering amplitudes in ten-dimensional type IIB superstring theory beyond the leading non-perturbative order. Our computation is based on the ... -
D-modules and finite monodromy
(Springer Nature, 2016)We investigate an analogue of the Grothendieck p-curvature conjecture, where the vanishing of the p-curvature is replaced by the stronger condition, that the module with connection mod p underlies a XDX -module structure. ... -
D-Modules on Spaces of Rational Maps and on Other Generic Data
(2012-12-13)Fix an algebraic curve X. We study the problem of parametrizing geometric data over X, which is only generically defined. E.g., parametrizing generically defined maps from X to a fixed target scheme Y. There are three methods ... -
D-Modules on the Affine Flag Variety and Representations of Affine Kac-Moody Algebras
(American Mathematical Society, 2009)The present paper studies the connection between the category of modules over the affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra at the critical level, and the category of D-modules on the affine flag scheme \(G((t))/I\), where \(I\) is the ... -
D-π-A Dye System Containing Cyano-Benzoic Acid as Anchoring Group for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2011) -
The \(D_4\) Root System is Not Universally Optimal
(AK Peters, 2007)We prove that the \(D_4\) root system (equivalently, the set of vertices of the regular 24-cell) is not a universally optimal spherical code. We further conjecture that there is no universally optimal spherical code of 24 ... -

Damped Lyman absorbers as a probe of stellar feedback

Damped Lyman-alpha absorption by disk galaxies with large redshifts. III - Intermediate-resolution spectroscopy
(IOP Publishing, 1989)New intermediate-resolution spectroscopy for six members of a sample of 68 moderate- to high-redshift QSOs is presented. Evidence is reported which indicates that seven strong absorption features in the QSO spectra are due ... -
The Damping Rates of Embedded Oscillating Starless Cores
(IOP Publishing, 2008)In a previous paper we demonstrated that nonradial hydrodynamic oscillations of a thermally supported (BonnorEbert) sphere embedded in a low-density, high-temperature medium persist for many periods. The predicted column ... -
Dance - Image - Text: Aleksei Remizov’s Poetics of Rewriting
(2022-05-17)This dissertation addresses itself to the enigma of Aleksei Remizov (1877-1957) as a highly original writer of “literature in the second degree.” The key to the work of this archaic modernist lies, I argue, in the idea of ... -
Dance and Instrumental Music in America, 1770-1830: Sources, Repertoire, and Origins
(2016-09-06)This dissertation examines roughly 100 manuscript sources of American instrumental music from roughly 1770-1830, along with related printed and British sources. It proposes different ways of organizing and viewing the ... -
Dances with Things: Material Culture and the Performance of Race
(Duke University Press, 2009)Proceeding from Robyn Wiegman's call for a transition from questions of "why" to "how" with regard to formations of race, this article proposes a heuristic, the "scriptive thing," to analyze ways in which racial subjectivation ...
