Distributive Politics and Economic Growth
(MIT Press, 1994)We study the relationship between politics and economic growth in a simple model of endogenous growth with distributive conflict among agents endowed with varying capital/labor shares. We establish several results regarding ... -
DISTROY: Detecting Integrated Circuit Trojans with Compressive Measurements
(2012-12-05)Detecting Trojans in an integrated circuit (IC) is an important but hard problem. A Trojan is malicious hardware it can be extremely small in size and dormant until triggered by some unknown circuit state. To allow wake-up, ... -
Disulfide-Based Diblock Copolymer Worm Gels: A Wholly-Synthetic Thermoreversible 3D Matrix for Sheet-Based Cultures
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2015)It is well-known that 3D in vitro cell cultures provide a much better model than 2D cell cultures for understanding the in vivo microenvironment of cells. However, significant technical challenges in handling and analyzing ... -
A diurnal serum lipid integrates hepatic lipogenesis and peripheral fatty acid utilization
(2014)Food intake increases the activity of hepatic de novo lipogenesis, which mediates the conversion of glucose to fats for storage or utilization. In mice, this program follows a circadian rhythm that peaks with nocturnal ... -
Diurnal variation in salivary cortisol across age classes in Ache Amerindian males of Paraguay
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)Objectives: Cortisol levels exhibit a diurnal rhythm in healthy men, with peaks in the morning and troughs in the evening. Throughout age, however, this rhythm tends to flatten. This diurnal flattening has been demonstrated ... -
The Divergence of Legal Procedures
(American Economic Association, 2009)Djankov et al. (2003a) propose and measure for 109 countries in the year 2000 an index of formalism of legal procedure for two simple disputes: eviction of a non-paying tenant and collection of a bounced check. For a ... -
Divergence of transcriptional landscape occurs early in B cell activation
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Signaling via B cell receptor (BCR) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) results in activation of B cells with distinct physiological outcomes, but transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that drive activation and ... -
Divergence time estimates and the evolution of major lineages in the florideophyte red algae
(Springer Nature, 2016)The Florideophyceae is the most abundant and taxonomically diverse class of red algae (Rhodophyta). However, many aspects of the systematics and divergence times of the group remain unresolved. Using a seven-gene concatenated ... -
Divergent dysregulation of gene expression in murine models of fragile X syndrome and tuberous sclerosis
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Fragile X syndrome and tuberous sclerosis are genetic syndromes that both have a high rate of comorbidity with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Several lines of evidence suggest that these two monogenic disorders ... -
Divergent genetic mechanisms underlie reversals to radial floral symmetry from diverse zygomorphic flowered ancestors
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Malpighiaceae possess flowers with a unique bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy), which is a hypothesized adaptation associated with specialization on neotropical oil bee pollinators. Gene expression of two representatives of ... -
Divergent Mating Systems and Parental Conflict as a Barrier to Hybridization in Flowering Plants
(University of Chicago Press, 2005)Parental conflicts can lead to antagonistic coevolution of the sexes and of parental genomes. Within a population, the resulting antagonistic effects should balance, but crosses between populations can reveal conflict. ... -
Divergent Pathways of Gentrification: Racial Inequality and the Social Order of Renewal in Chicago Neighborhoods
(SAGE Publications, 2014)Gentrification has inspired considerable debate, but direct examination of its uneven evolution across time and space is rare. We address this gap by developing a conceptual framework on the social pathways of gentrification ... -
Diverse and robust molecular algorithms using reprogrammable DNA self-assembly
(SpringerNature, 2019-03-20)Molecular biology provides an inspiring proof-of-principle that chemical systems can store and process information to direct molecular activities such as the fabrication of complex structures from molecular components. A ... -
Diverse DNA Transposons in Rotifers of the Class Bdelloidea
(National Academy of Sciences, 2005)We surveyed the diversity, structural organization, and patterns of evolution of DNA transposons in rotifers of the class Bdelloidea, a group of basal triploblast animals that appears to have evolved for millions of years ... -
Diverse intracellular pathogens activate Type III Interferon expression from peroxisomes
(2014)Type I Interferon (IFN) responses are considered the primary means by which viral infections are controlled in mammals. Despite this view, several pathogens activate antiviral responses in the absence of Type I IFNs. The ... -
Diverse Phenotypes and Specific Transcription Patterns in Twenty Mouse Lines with Ablated LincRNAs
(Public Library of Science, 2015)In a survey of 20 knockout mouse lines designed to examine the biological functions of large intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs), we have found a variety of phenotypes, ranging from perinatal lethality to defects associated ... -
Diverse Populations are Conflated with Heterogeneous Collectives
(Philosophy Documentation Center, 2021)The concept of difference has a long and important research tradition. We identify and explicate a heretofore overlooked distinction in the meaning and measurement of two different meanings ‘difference’: ‘diversity’ and ... -
Diversification of Carnivorous Parasitic Insects: Extraordinary Radiation or Specialized Dead End?
(University of Chicago Press, 1993-11)The spectacular diversity of insects has often been attributed to accelerated radiation of groups acquiring specialized trophic habits. In accord with this hypothesis, a previous study demonstrated consistently greater ... -
Diversity and carbon storage across the tropical forest biome
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)Tropical forests are global centres of biodiversity and carbon storage. Many tropical countries aspire to protect forest to fulfil biodiversity and climate mitigation policy targets, but the conservation strategies needed ... -
Diversity and Heterogeneity of Epibiotic Bacterial Communities on the Marine Nematode Eubostrichus dianae
(American Society for Microbiology, 1999)The diversity of a microbial community covering the surface of a marine nematode was analyzed by performing a 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) restriction cutting and sequencing analysis. In two clone libraries constructed by using ...
