Fedor Bucholtz, mycologist and his herbarium
(University of Tartu Press, 2010)Beginning shortly after the death of Fedor Bucholtz in 1924 correspondence was initiated by Roland Thaxter with Alexander Bucholz, mycologist Fedor Bucholtz’s son, concerning the purchase of his father’s herbarium and ... -
Feedback Between Deglaciation, Volcanism, and Atmospheric CO2
(Elsevier, 2009)An evaluation of the historical record of volcanic eruptions shows that subaerial volcanism increases globally by two to six times above background levels between 12 ka and 7 ka, during the last deglaciation. Increased ... -
Feedback of superconducting fluctuations on charge order in the underdoped cuprates
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)Metals interacting via short-range antiferromagnetic fluctuations are unstable to sign-changing superconductivity at low temperatures. For the cuprates, this leading instability leads to the well-known d-wave superconducting ... -
Feedback-controlled ion beam sculpting apparatus
(AIP Publishing, 2004)We report the design of an “ion sculpting” instrument that enables the controlled fabrication of nanometer-sized structures in solid-state materials. The instrument employs a beam of kilo-electron-volt argon ions that ... -
Feedback-Induced Phase Transitions in Active Heterogeneous Conductors
(American Physical Society (APS), 2015)An active conducting medium is one where the resistance (conductance) of the medium is modified by the current (flow) and in turn modifies the flow, so that the classical linear laws relating current and resistance, e.g., ... -
Feedback‐driven Evolution of the Far‐Infrared Spectral Energy Distributions of Luminous and Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

Feeding Kansas: Food, Famine, and Relief in Contested Territory
(2016-01-21)“Feeding Kansas” is an analysis of how food and its availability shaped the experiences of settlers and Native Americans in the two decades following the opening of Kansas Territory in 1854. From the outset, food was central ... -
Feeding the Need: Charitable Food-Providing Organizations and Gaps in the Social Safety Net
(2023-05-08)In the United States, one in ten people are experiencing food insecurity, unsure of from where their next meal will come. Various government-based and charitable programs endeavor to meet this need. Although SNAP (formerly ... -
The Feel of MEMS Barometers: Inexpensive and Easily Customized Tactile Array Sensors
(Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)This article presents a new approach to the construction of tactile array sensors based on barometric pressure sensor chips and standard printed circuit boards (PCBs). The chips include tightly integrated instrumentation ... -
The Feeling of Uncertainty Intensifies Affective Reactions
(American Psychological Association, 2009)Uncertainty has been defined as a lack of information about an event and has been characterized as an aversive state that people are motivated to reduce. The authors propose an uncertainty intensification hypothesis, whereby ... -
Feeling Onwards: Model Minority Affects in Contemporary Asian American Literature
(2023-05-12)My dissertation project works at the intersection of institutional critique, affect theory, and formal analysis to survey the flowering of Asian American cultural works in the contemporary moment. I argue that recent Asian ... -
Feeling Small: Exploring the Tactile Perception Limits
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013)The human finger is exquisitely sensitive in perceiving different materials, but the question remains as to what length scales are capable of being distinguished in active touch. We combine material science with psychophysics ... -
Felix Socrates?
(Kentron Ereunēs tēs Hellēnikēs Philosophias, 2013)I argue that Socrates, by his own lights, failed to achieve happiness. This result is important not so much for what it reveals about Socrates’ own well-being, but for what it reveals about the Socratic conception of happiness. -

Female Adolescent Energy Expenditure in the Gambia
(2013-02-25)Adolescence is a life history transition of individual and evolutionary importance: the body begins to allocate energy available above maintenance costs away from somatic growth and towards reproductive function. This study ... -

(Organization of American Historians, 1973) -
Female Babies and Risk-Aversion: Causal Evidence From Hospital Wards
(Elsevier BV, 2018-03)Using ultrasound scan data from paediatric hospitals, and the exogenous ‘shock’ of learning the gender of an unborn baby, the paper documents the first causal evidence that offspring gender affects adult risk-aversion. On ... -
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 ...
