Declaraciones de independencia, 1776-2011. Del derecho natural al derecho internacional
(Colegio de Mexico, 2013) -
Declarative Policies for Capability Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014)In capability-safe languages, components can access a resource only if they possess a capability for that resource. As a result, a programmer can prevent an untrusted component from accessing a sensitive resource by ensuring ... -
The Decline and Rise of Coronary Heart Disease: Understanding Public Health Catastrophism
(American Public Health Association, 2013)The decline of coronary heart disease mortality in the United States and Western Europe is one of the great accomplishments of modern public health and medicine. Cardiologists and cardiovascular epidemiologists have devoted ... -
Decline in bulk deposition of air pollutants in China lags behind reductions in emissions
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-02-21) -
Decline of Violence: Taming the Devil Within Us
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)We are getting smarter, and as a result the world is becoming a more peaceful place, says Steven Pinker. -
The Decline of War and Conceptions of Human Nature
(Wiley, 2013)Many observers are skeptical of the evidence that war has declined, because they think that a decline in war requires an unrealistic, romantic theory of human nature. In fact it is compatible with a hardheaded view of human ... -
Decoding Representations of Face Identity That are Tolerant to Rotation
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)In order to recognize the identity of a face we need to distinguish very similar images (specificity) while also generalizing identity information across image transformations such as changes in orientation (tolerance). ... -
Decoding the H-likelihood
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2009) -
Decoding the precision of historical temperature observations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Historical observations of temperature underpin our ability to monitor Earth’s climate. We identify a pervasive issue in archived observations from surface stations, wherein the use of varying conventions for units and ... -
Decoherence Dynamics in Low-Dimensional Cold Atom Interferometers
(American Physical Society (APS), 2007)We report on a study of the dynamics of decoherence of a matter-wave interferometer, consisting of a pair of low-dimensional cold atom condensates at finite temperature. We identify two distinct regimes in the time dependence ... -
Decoherence imaging of spin ensembles using a scanning single-electron spin in diamond
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect center in diamond has demonstrated great capability for nanoscale magnetic sensing and imaging for both static and periodically modulated target fields. However, it remains a challenge to ... -
Deconfined criticality in bilayer graphene
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)We propose that bilayer graphene can provide an experimental realization of deconfined criticality. Current experiments indicate the presence of Néel order in the presence of a moderate magnetic field. The Néel order can ... -
Deconstructing Disease
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 1986) -
Deconstructing, Reconstructing, Preserving Paul E Meehl's Legacy of Construct Validity
(American Psychological Association, 2005)The question of the status of cause-and-effect explanations of human behavior that posit physically existing causative factors and those that, on the other hand, posit hypothetical entities in the form of "useful fictions" ... -
Deconstruction and gauge theories in AdS5
(Springer Verlag, 2003) -
Decoupling catalytic activity from biological function of the ATPase that powers lipopolysaccharide transport
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014)Gram-negative bacteria contain an unusual outer membrane that prevents the entry of most currently available antibiotics. This membrane contains a complex glycolipid, LPS, on the exterior. It is not understood how such a ... -
Decoupling of the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation in a Warmer Climate
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-11)The North Atlantic Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation are modes of climate variability affecting temperature and precipitation in the mid-latitudes. Here we use reanalysis data and climate model simulations of historical ... -
Decrease in gamma-band activity tracks sequence learning
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)Learning novel sequences constitutes an example of declarative memory formation, involving conscious recall of temporal events. Performance in sequence learning tasks improves with repetition and involves forming temporal ... -
Decreased Cerebellar-Orbitofrontal Connectivity Correlates with Stuttering Severity: Whole-Brain Functional and Structural Connectivity Associations with Persistent Developmental Stuttering
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)Persistent developmental stuttering is characterized by speech production disfluency and affects 1% of adults. The degree of impairment varies widely across individuals and the neural mechanisms underlying the disorder and ... -
The Dedication Strategies of Conrad Gessner
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)
