Defending the Refutation of Idealism
(Southwestern Philosophical Society, 2000)In his Kant and the Claims of Knowledge, Paul Guyer offers an influential reading of Kant’s famous “Refutation of Idealism.” Guyer’s reading has been widely praised as Kantian exegesis but less favorably received as an ... -
A Defense of Traditional Hypotheses about the Term Structure of Interest Rates
(Blackwell Publishing, 1986)Expectations theories of asset returns may be interpreted either as stating that risk premia are zero or that they are constant through time. Under the former interpretation, different versions of the expectations theory ... -
Deferred Acceptance Algorithms: History, Theory, Practice, and Open Questions
(Springer, 2008)The deferred acceptance algorithm proposed by Gale and Shapley (1962) has had a profound influence on market design, both directly, by being adapted into practical matching mechanisms, and, indirectly, by raising new ... -
Deficient Heads and Long Head Movement in Slovak
(Michigan Slavic Publications, 1997)This paper examines verbal clitics in Polish and Slovak -
A defined network of fast-spiking interneurons in orbitofrontal cortex: responses to behavioral contingencies and ketamine administration
(Frontiers Media SA, 2009)Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is a region of prefrontal cortex implicated in the motivational control of behavior and in related abnormalities seen in psychosis and depression. It has been hypothesized that a critical mechanism ... -
A defined synthetic substrate for serum-free culture of human stem cell derived cardiomyocytes with improved functional maturity identified using combinatorial materials microarrays
(2016)Cardiomyocytes from human stem cells have applications in regenerative medicine and can provide models for heart disease and toxicity screening. Soluble components of the culture system such as growth factors within serum ... -
Defining an “ideal” heritage speaker: Theoretical and methodological challenges | Reply to peer commentaries

Defining Difference: The Role of Immigrant Generation and Race in American and British Immigration Studies
(Informa UK Limited, 2014)This article reviews the ways in which Britain and the USA classify and analyse the integration of immigrants and their descendants. While both societies recognize racial differences in their official statistics and in the ... -
Defining the Essential Function of Yeast Hsf1 Reveals a Compact Transcriptional Program for Maintaining Eukaryotic Proteostasis
(Elsevier BV, 2016)Despite its eponymous association with the heat shock response, yeast heat shock factor 1 (Hsf1) is essential even at low temperatures. Here we show that engineered nuclear export of Hsf1 results in cytotoxicity associated ... -
Defining the functional states of Th17 cells
(F1000Research, 2015)The molecular mechanisms governing T helper (Th) cell differentiation and function have revealed a complex network of transcriptional and protein regulators. Cytokines not only initiate the differentiation of CD4 Th cells ... -
Defining the roles of the periplasmic chaperones SurA, Skp, and DegP in Escherichia coli
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2007)Integral beta-barrel proteins (OMPs) are a major class of outer membrane proteins in Gram-negative bacteria. In Escherichia coli, these proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm, translocated across the inner membrane via ... -
Defining the Value of Injection Current and Effective Electrical Contact Area for EGaIn-Based Molecular Tunneling Junctions
(American Chemical Society, 2013)Analysis of rates of tunneling across self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-alkanethiolates SCn (with n = number of carbon atoms) incorporated in junctions having structure AgTS-SAM//Ga2O3/EGaIn leads to a value for the ... -
Defocus Video Matting
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2005)Video matting is the process of pulling a high-quality alpha matte and foreground from a video sequence. Current techniques require either a known background (e.g., a blue screen) or extensive user interaction (e.g., to ... -
Deformation and Fracture of Impulsively Loaded Sandwich Panels
(Elsevier, 2013)Light metal sandwich panel structures with cellular cores have attracted interest for multifunctional applications which exploit their high bend strength and impact energy absorption. This concept has been explored here ... -
Deformation-Induced Melting in the Margins of the West Antarctic Ice Streams
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)Flow of glacial ice in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet localizes in narrow bands of fast-flowing ice streams bordered by ridges of nearly stagnant ice, but our understanding of the physical processes that generate this ... -
Deformations and Liftings of Finite, Commutative Group Scheme
(Springer Verlag, 1968) -
Deformations of GQp and GL2(Qp) Representations
(Société Mathématique de France, 2010)We show that Colmez's functor from GL2(Qp) representations to GQp representation produces essentially all two dimensional representations of GQp. The method compares the deformation theory for the two kinds of representations: ... -
Deformations of Local Systems and Eisenstein Series
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2008) -
Deformed Microcavity Quantum Cascade Lasers with Directional Emission
(Institute of Physics, 2009)We report the experimental realization of deformed microcavity quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with a Limaçon-shaped chaotic resonator. Directional light emission with a beam divergence of \(\theta_{\|} \approx 33^{\circ}\) ... -
Degenerate Tetraploidy Was Established Before Bdelloid Rotifer Families Diverged
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Rotifers of Class Bdelloidea are abundant freshwater invertebrates known for their remarkable ability to survive desiccation and their lack of males and meiosis. Sequencing and annotation of approximately 50-kb regions ...
