Constant Growth Rate Can Be Supported by Decreasing Energy Flux and Increasing Aerobic Glycolysis
(Elsevier BV, 2014)Fermenting glucose in the presence of enough oxygen to support respiration, known as aerobic glycolysis, is believed to maximize growth rate. We observed increasing aerobic glycolysis during exponential growth, suggesting ... -
The constant inner-disk radius of LMC X-3: A basis for measuring black hole spin
(IOP Publishing, 2010)he black hole binary system LMC X-3 has been observed by virtually every X-ray mission since the inception of X-ray astronomy. Among the persistent sources, LMC X-3 is uniquely both habitually soft and highly variable. ... -
Constant rate of p53 tetramerization in response to DNA damage controls the p53 response
(BlackWell Publishing Ltd, 2014)The dynamics of the tumor suppressor protein p53 have been previously investigated in single cells using fluorescently tagged p53. Such approach reports on the total abundance of p53 but does not provide a measure for ... -
A Constant Recontracting Model of Sovereign Debt
(University of Chicago Press, 1989)We present a dynamic model of international lending in which borrowers cannot commit to future repayments and in which debtors can sometimes successfully negotiate partial defaults or "rescheduling agreements." All parties ... -
Constituency Service and Incumbency Advantage
(Cambridge University Press, 1991)Numerous scholars have documented a dramatic increase in incumbency advantage in US congressional elections and also state legislative elections over the past four decades. For example, Gelman and King show that incumbents ... -
Constituents' responses to congressional roll call voting
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)Do citizens hold their representatives accountable for policy decisions, as commonly assumed in theories of legislative politics? Previous research has failed to yield clear evidence on this question for two reasons: ... -
Constitution of Antheridium-Inducing Factor of Anemia Phyllitidis
(Elsevier, 1986)Careful comparison of naturally derived and synthetic samples of the antheridium-inducing factor of Anemia phyllitidis, AA,,, by TLC, HPLC, NMR and GC-MS measurements allow unambiguous assignment of structure 2 to this ... -
Constitutional Character: Virtues and Vices in Presidential Leadership
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)Presidents and presidential candidates should be assessed more than they usually are on the basis of what may be called constitutional character. This refers to the disposition to act, and motivate others to act, according ... -
Constitutionalizing a Democratic Muslim State without Shari'a: The Religious Establishment in the Tunisian 2014 Constitution
(Indiana University Press, 2016) -
A constitutive description of the anisotropic response of the fascia lata
(Elsevier BV, 2014)In this paper we propose a constitutive model to analyze in-plane extension of goat fascia lata. We first perform a histological analysis of the fascia that shows a well-organized bi-layered arrangement of undulated collagen ... -
Constitutivism and the virtues
(Informa UK Limited, 2019-04-05)In Self-Constitution, I argue that the principles governing action are “constitutive standards” of agency, standards that arise from the nature of agency itself. To be an agent is to be autonomously efficacious, and the ... -
Constraining Alternate Models of Black Holes: Type I X‐Ray Bursts on Accreting Fermion‐Fermion and Boson‐Fermion Stars
(American Astronomical Society, 2004)The existence of black holes remains open to doubt until other conceivable options are excluded. With this motivation, we consider a model of a compact star in which most of the mass consists of dark particles of some kind ... -
Constraining Cosmological Parameters Based on Relative Galaxy Ages
(American Astronomical Society, 2002)We propose to use relative galaxy ages as a means of constraining cosmological parameters. By measuring the age difference between two ensembles of passively evolving galaxies at somewhat different redshifts, one could ... -
Constraining Dark Halo Potentials with Tidal Tails
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)We present an extensive parameter survey of the influence of halo mass profiles on the development of tidal tails in interacting disk galaxies. We model the galaxies using a fixed exponential disk with a central bulge and ... -
Constraining Light Colored Particles with Event Shapes
(American Physical Society, 2008)Using recently developed techniques for computing event shapes with Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, LEP event shape data is used to derive strong model-independent bounds on new colored particles. In the effective field ... -
Constraining parity violation in gravity with measurements of neutron-star moments of inertia
(American Physical Society, 2010) -
The Constraining Power of International Treaties: Theory and Methods
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)We acknowledge the contribution of von Stein (2005) in calling attention to the very real problem of selection bias in estimating treaty effects. Nonetheless, we dispute both von Stein's theoretical and empirical conclusions. ... -
Constraining primordial black-hole bombs through spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background
(American Physical Society, 2013)We consider the imprint of super-radiant instabilities of nonevaporating primordial black holes (PBHs) on the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In the radiation-dominated era, PBHs are surrounded by a ... -
Constraining proposed combinations of ice history and Earth rheology using VLBI determined baseline length rates in North America
(American Geophysical Union, 1993)We predict the present-day rates of change of the lengths of 19 North American baselines due to the glacial isostatic adjustment process. Contrary to previously published research, we find that the three-dimensional motion ... -
Constraining Questions About the Organisation and Representation of Conceptual Knowledge
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2003)In this article we assume a domain-specific organisation of conceptual knowledge and consider two questions: How does this architecture constrain further assumptions that might be made regarding (1) the organisation of ...
