Depth of Reasoning and Higher Order Beliefs
(Elsevier BV, 2014)As demonstrated by the email game of Rubinstein (1989), the predictions of the standard equilibrium models of game theory are sensitive to assumptions about the fine details of the higher order beliefs. This paper shows ... -
A Depth-Derived Pleistocene Age-Model: Uncertainty Estimates, Sedimentation Variability, and Nonlinear Climate Change
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)A new chronology of glaciation, spanning the last 780,000 years, is estimated from 21 marine sediment cores using depth as a proxy for time. To avoid biasing this ‘‘depth-derived’’ age estimate, the depth scale is first ... -
Depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy of silicon supersaturated with sulfur
(AIP Publishing, 2013)We investigate the luminescence of Si supersaturated with S (Si:S) using depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectroscopy as the S concentration is varied over 2 orders of magnitude ... -
Derandomization Beyond Connectivity: Undirected Laplacian Systems in Nearly Logarithmic Space
(2017)We give a deterministic O˜(log n)-space algorithm for approximately solving linear systems given by Laplacians of undirected graphs, and consequently also approximating hitting times, commute times, and escape probabilities ... -
Derandomization in Cryptography
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2007)We give two applications of Nisan-Wigderson-type (NW-type) ("noncryptographic") pseudorandom generators in cryptography. Specifically, assuming the existence of an appropriate NW-type generator, we construct the following ... -
A Derandomized Sparse Johnson-Lindenstrauss Transform
(2010)Recent work of [Dasgupta-Kumar-Sarl´os, STOC 2010] gave a sparse Johnson-Lindenstrauss transform and left as a main open question whether their construction could be efficiently derandomized. We answer their question ... -

Derivation of Corneal Keratocyte-Like Cells from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Corneal diseases such as keratoconus represent a relatively common disorder in the human population. However, treatment is restricted to corneal transplantation, which only occurs in the most advanced cases. Cell based ... -
Derivation of the cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation from quantum dynamics of many-body systems
(Springer Nature, 2006)We prove rigorously that the one-particle density matrix of three dimensional interacting Bose systems with a short-scale repulsive pair interaction converges to the solution of the cubic non-linear Schrödinger equation ... -
Derivation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation for the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensate
(Annals of Mathematics, Princeton U, 2010)Consider a system of N bosons in three dimensions interacting via a repulsive short range pair potential N²V (N(xi − xj)), where x = (x1,..., xN) denotes the positions of the particles. Let HN denote the Hamiltonian of the ... -
Derivations without the Activity Condition
(Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The EPP cannot be reduced to the Inverse Case Filter (contra Boskovic 2002) and remains for the moment axiomatic in phrase-marker construction. Feature-splitting, Agree, and the EPP allow for a range of derivational options ... -
Deriving a Light Use Efficiency Model from Eddy Covariance Flux Data for Predicting Daily Gross Primary Production Across Biomes
(Elsevier, 2007)The quantitative simulation of gross primary production (GPP) at various spatial and temporal scales has been a major challenge in quantifying the global carbon cycle. We developed a light use efficiency (LUE) daily GPP ... -
Deriving Epistemic Conclusions from Agent Architecture
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)One of our most resilient intuitions is that causality is a precondition for information flow: where there are no causal connections, we expect there to be no flow of information. In this paper, we study this idea as it ... -
Deriving Finite Sphere Packings
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2011)Sphere packing problems have a rich history in both mathematics and physics; yet, relatively few analytical analyses of sphere packings exist, and answers to seemingly simple questions are unknown. Here, we present an ... -
Descartes the Doctor: Rationalism and Its Therapies
(Cambridge University Press, 2000)During the Scientific Revolution one important gauge of the duality of reformed natural philosophical knowledge was its ability to produce a more effective medical practice. Indeed, it was sometimes thought that philosophers ... -
Description and phylogeny of Namalycastis jaya sp. n. (Polychaeta, Nereididae, Namanereidinae) from the southwest coast of India
(Pensoft Publishers, 2012)Namalycastis jaya sp. n. (Polychaeta: Nereididae: Namanereidinae)is described from the southern coast of Kerala in southwest India. One important characteristic feature of the species is the lack of notochaetae in all ... -
Design and analysis of multi-hospital kidney exchange mechanisms using random graphs
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Kidney exchanges enable transplants when a pair of a patient and an incompatible donor is matched with other similar pairs. In multi-hospital kidney exchanges pairs are pooled from multiple hospitals, and each hospital is ... -
Design and Assembly of an Ultra-light Motorized Microdrive for Chronic Neural Recordings in Small Animals
(MyJoVE Corporation, 2012)The ability to chronically record from populations of neurons in freely behaving animals has proven an invaluable tool for dissecting the function of neural circuits underlying a variety of natural behaviors, including ... -
Design and control of a parallel linkage wrist for robotic microsurgery
(2015)This paper presents the design and control of a teleoperated robotic system for dexterous micromanipulation tasks at the meso-scale, specifically open microsurgery. Robotic open microsurgery is an unexplored yet potentially ...
