Finding Nash and Earning Cash: Applications of Iterated Dominance to Reporting GPAs on Resumes
(2016-06-30)This paper attempts to determine the extent to which job applicants round their grade point averages ("GPAs") on their resumes in a way that is a best response to the strategy of a rational employer. It begins by proving ... -
Finding new components of the target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling network through chemical genetics and proteome chips
(National Academy of Sciences, 2004)The TOR (target of rapamycin) proteins play important roles in nutrient signaling in eukaryotic cells. Rapamycin treatment induces a state reminiscent of the nutrient starvation response, often resulting in growth inhibition. ... -
Finding Optimal Views for 3D Face Shape Modeling
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2004)A fundamental problem in multi-view 3D face modeling is the determination of the set of optimal views (poses) required for accurate 3D shape estimation of a generic face. There is no analytical solution to this problem, ... -
Finding Patterns in Nature: Asa Gray's Plant Geography and Collecting Networks (1830s-1860s)
(2013-10-18)It is well known that American botanist Asa Gray's 1859 paper on the floristic similarities between Japan and the United States was among the earliest applications of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory in plant geography. ... -
Finding Rocky Asteroids Around White Dwarfs by Their Periodic Thermal Emission
(American Astronomical Society, 2014)Since white dwarfs (WDs) are small, the contrast between the thermal emission of an orbiting object and a WD is dramatically enhanced compared to a main-sequence host. Furthermore, rocky objects much smaller than the moon ... -
Finding Simple Models of Complex Objects: From Regularity Lemmas to Algorithmic Fairness
(2023-06-30)In this thesis, we study connections between the recent literature on multi-group fairness for prediction algorithms and previous well-known results in graph theory, computational complexity, additive combinatorics, ... -
Finding synchrony in the desynchronized EEG: the history and interpretation of gamma rhythms
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Neocortical gamma (30–80 Hz) rhythms correlate with attention, movement and perception and are often disrupted in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Gamma primarily occurs during alert brain states characterized by ... -
Finding the Elusive Sliding Phase in the Superfluid-Normal Phase Transition Smeared by \(c\)-Axis Disorder
(American Physical Society, 2010)We consider a stack of weakly Josephson coupled superfluid layers with \(c\)-axis disorder in the form of random superfluid stiffnesses and vortex fugacities in each layer as well as random interlayer coupling strengths. ... -
Fine mapping of chromosome 15q25 implicates ZNF592 in neurosarcoidosis patients
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Neurosarcoidosis is a clinical subtype of sarcoidosis characterized by the presence of granulomas in the nervous system. Here, we report a highly significant association with a variant (rs75652600, P = 3.12 × 10−8, odds ... -
Fine-grained, Language-based Access Control for Database-backed Applications
(2018-06-29)Database-backed applications often run queries with more authority than necessary. Since programs can access more data than they legitimately need, flaws in security checks at the application level can enable malicious or ... -
Fine-mapping complex traits in large-scale biobanks across diverse populations
(2022-05-12)Identifying causal variants for complex traits is a major goal of human genetics research. Despite the great success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in locus discovery, individual causal variants in associated ... -
Fine-scale genetic mapping of a hybrid sterility factor between Drosophila simulans and D. mauritiana: the varied and elusive functions of "speciation genes"
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background: Hybrid male sterility (HMS) is a usual outcome of hybridization between closely related animal species. It arises because interactions between alleles that are functional within one species may be disrupted in ... -
Fine-Scale Structure of the Quasar 3C 279 Measured with 1.3 mm Very Long Baseline Interferometry
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)We report results from five day very long baseline interferometry observations of the well-known quasar 3C 279 at 1.3mm (230 GHz) in 2011. The measured nonzero closure phases on triangles including stations in Arizona, ... -
Fine-Tuning a Global History of Music Theory: Divergences, Zhu Zaiyu, and Music-Theoretical Instruments
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022-06-17)The issue of equal temperament offers an object lesson in the challenges of the new global history of music theory: 12-tone equal temperament was mathematically formulated at almost the same time in Ming-dynasty China and ... -
Fine-Tuning of Chemotactic Response in E. coli Determined by High-Throughput Capillary Assay
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2010)In E. coli, chemotactic behavior exhibits perfect adaptation that is robust to changes in the intracellular concentration of the chemotactic proteins, such as CheR and CheB. However, the robustness of the perfect adaptation ... -
Fine-tuning Protein Language Models to Identify Interaction Sites Enables Binder Design from Sequence
(2023-06-30)Designing protein binders to flexible and disordered proteins is important for biological research and future therapeutic applications. Despite the significant progress in de-novo and scaffold based design, current methods ... -
