Functional tuning and network dynamics of touch-sensitive dorsal horn neurons in normal and disease states
(2023-06-01)Tactile signal integration begins in the spinal cord dorsal horn (DH) where axons of primary sensory neurons that innervate the skin and convey discrete streams of sensory information, including innocuous and noxious touch, ... -
Functional, Developmental and Morphological Integration: The Case of the Head and Forelimb in Bipedal Hominins
(John Wiley & Sons, 2008)Integration, a fundamental property of organisms, occurs via multiple mechanisms and for diverse reasons. Although there has been substantial work on the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms by which developmental integration ... -
Functionality through multistability: from deployable structures to soft robots
(2021-12-14)Inflating a rubber balloon leads to a dramatic shape change: a property that is exploited in the design of deployable structures and soft robots. On the one hand, inflation can be used to transform seemingly flat shapes ... -
Functionalizing Aromatic Compounds with Optical Cycling Centers
(Nature, 2022-07-25) -
Functionally Important Interactions between the Nucleotide-Binding Domains of an Antigenic Peptide Transporter
(American Chemical Society, 2008)The transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), an ABC transporter, pumps cytosolic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum, where the peptides are loaded onto class I MHC molecules for presentation to the immune ... -
Functioning Water‐insoluble Ferrocenes for Aqueous Organic Flow Battery via Host-Guest Inclusion
(Wiley, 2020-12-09)Ferrocene (Fc) is one of the very limited organic catholyte options for aqueous organic flow batteries (AOFBs), a potential electrochemical energy storage solution to the intermittency of renewable electricity. Commercially ... -
Fundamental Limits to the Electrochemical Impedance Stability of Dielectric Elastomers in Bioelectronics
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-11-28)Incorporation of elastomers into bioelectronics that reduces the mechanical mismatch between electronics and biological systems could potentially improve the long-term electronics–tissue interface. However, the chronic ... -
The Fundamental Properties of Young Stars
(2016-05-18)Accurate knowledge of the fundamental properties of stars--mass, temperature, and luminosity--is key to our understanding of stellar evolution. In particular, empirical measurements of stellar mass are difficult to make ... -
Fundamental Studies of Alcohol Reactions on Gold and Copper
(2017-09-07)The thesis has focused on revealing the mechanistic insights of the gaseous alcohol coupling/dehydrogenation/oxidation reactions for selectively making value-added products on the solid gold/copper single-crystal surfaces ... -
Fundamental Studies of Selective Oxidation Reactions on Gold and Silver Surfaces
(2014-10-21)This thesis explores the fundamental chemistry of selective oxidation reactions on gold and silver surfaces, developing a predictive framework for oxidative catalysis, which is crucial for rational design of catalytic ... -
Fundamentals of Benthic Microbial Fuel Cells: Theory, Development and Application
Recent years have been a watershed for fuel cell research, in particular for microbial fuel cells (see for example: Larminie & Dicks, 2000; Bullen et al., 2006; Logan et al., 2006; Lovley, 2006; Du et al., 2007; Rabaey et ... -
Fundamentals of Focused Ion Beam Nanostructural Processing: Below, At, and Above the Surface
(Materials Research Society, 2007)This article considers the fundamentals of what happens in a solid when it is impacted by a medium-energy gallium ion. The study of the ion/sample interaction at the nanometer scale is applicable to most focused ion beam ... -
Fundamentals of MXene synthesis
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-08-01)Since the first report on Ti3C2Tx in 2011, the family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXenes) has increased substantially to include single and multi-element MXenes, with many ... -
Funding allocation to surgery in low and middle-income countries: a retrospective analysis of contributions from the USA
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2015)Objective: The funds available for global surgical delivery, capacity building and research are unknown and presumed to be low. Meanwhile, conditions amenable to surgery are estimated to account for nearly 30% of the global ... -
Fungi and Forests
(Harvard University, 2016)WHERE WE LIVE, WHERE WE COME FROM AND the organisms that surround us shape our culture. What we eat or do not eat often hints at our deepest ancestral roots. The peoples of the world have been characterized as being either ... -
Fungi evolved right on track
(Mycological Society of America, 2009)Dating of fungal divergences with molecular clocks thus far has yielded highly inconsistent results. The origin of fungi was estimated at between 660 million and up to 2.15 billion y ago, and the divergence of the two major ... -

“Furs, Feathers, Frippery”: Dress and the Sciences of Subjectivity
(2024-05-08)This dissertation is the first history of the “psychology of clothes,” a diffuse but cohesive research project present within psychology since its earliest days. Theorists believed that dress offered privileged access to ... -
Further Fossil finds from Flores
(Nature Publishing Group, 2005)New fossil discoveries on Flores, Indonesia, bolster the evidence that Homo floresiensiswas a dwarfed human species that lived at the end of the last ice age. But the species’ evolutionary origins remain obscure. -
Further Issues in Effect Size Estimation for One-Sample Multiple-Choice-Type Data
(American Psychological Association, 1991)This article discusses models underlying the use of 1-sample effect size indicators that permit the comparison of effect sizes obtained from different multiple-choice studies by indexing all studies to the results that ...
