Delayed-response strategies in repeated games with observation lags
(Elsevier BV, 2014)We extend the folk theorem of repeated games to two settings in which players' information about others' play arrives with stochastic lags. In our first model, signals are almost-perfect if and when they do arrive, that ... -
Deletion of CTLA-4 on regulatory T cells during adulthood leads to resistance to autoimmunity
(The Rockefeller University Press, 2015)Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) is an essential negative regulator of T cell responses. Germline Ctla4 deficiency is lethal, making investigation of the function of CTLA-4 on mature T cells challenging. To elucidate ... -
Deletion of Prepl Causes Growth Impairment and Hypotonia in Mice
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Genetic studies of rare diseases can identify genes of unknown function that strongly impact human physiology. Prolyl endopeptidase-like (PREPL) is an uncharacterized member of the prolyl peptidase family that was discovered ... -
The Delian Maidens and their relevance to choral mimesis in classical drama

Deliberation Erodes Cooperative Behavior — Even Towards Competitive Out-Groups, Even When Using a Control Condition, and Even When Eliminating Selection Bias
(Elsevier BV, 2017-11)By many accounts cooperation appears to be a default strategy in social interaction. There are, however, several documented instances in which reflexive responding favors aggressive behaviors: for example, interactions ... -
Deliberative Democratic Theory and Empirical Political Science
(Annual Reviews, 2008-06-01)Although empirical studies of deliberative democracy have proliferated in the past decade, too few have addressed the questions that are most significant in the normative theories. At the same time, many theorists have ... -
Delivering Heparin-Binding Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 with Self-Assembling Peptide Hydrogels
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2015)Heparin-binding insulin-like growth factor 1 (HB-IGF-1) is a fusion protein of IGF-1 with the HB domain of heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor. A single dose of HB-IGF-1 has been shown to bind ... -
Delta C-13 Stratigraphy of the Proterozoic Bylot Supergroup, Baffin Island, Canada: Implications for Regional Lithostratigraphic Correlations
(National Research Council Canada, 1999)The Bylot Supergroup, northern Baffin Island, contains >1500 m of platform, shelf, and slope carbonates deposited between similar to 1270 and similar to 723 Ma. Limited chronostratigraphic data have led to the broad ... -

Democracy in Africa: A Very Short History
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010)When discussing governance in Africa, one must be circumspect when applying the term "democracy." One reason for doing so is because the term is imprecise. However, while differing in the attributes they posit and the ... -
Democracy, Technology, and Growth
(2007)We explore the question of how political institutions and particularly democracy affect economic growth. Although empirical evidence of a positive effect of democracy on economic performance in the aggregate is weak, we ... -

Demographics of the Galaxies Hosting Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
(IOP Publishing, 2013)We present observations of the afterglows and host galaxies of three short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs): 100625A, 101219A and 110112A. We find that GRB 100625A occurred in a z = 0.452 early-type galaxy with a stellar ... -
Demon-like Algorithmic Quantum Cooling and Its Realization with Quantum Optics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Simulation of the low-temperature properties of many-body systems remains one of the major challenges in theoretical and experimental quantum information science. We present, and demonstrate experimentally, a universal ...
