Does Sleep Play a Role in Memory Consolidation? A Comparative Test
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Sleep is a pervasive characteristic of mammalian species, yet its purpose remains obscure. It is often proposed that ‘sleep is for the brain’, a view that is supported by experimental studies showing that sleep improves ... -
Does Systems Research Measure Up?
(1997)We surveyed more than two hundred systems research papers published in the last six years, and found that, in experiment after experiment, systems researchers measure the same things, but in the majority of cases the ... -
Does temperature contain a stochastic trend? Evaluating conflicting statistical results
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2009)We evaluate the claim by Gay et al. (Clim Change 94:333–349, 2009) that “surface temperature can be better described as a trend stationary process with a one-time permanent shock” than efforts by Kaufmann et al. (Clim ... -
Does the Delivery of CBT for Youth Anxiety Differ Across Research and Practice Settings?
(Elsevier BV, 2017-07)Does delivery of the same manual-based individual cognitive-behavioral treatment (ICBT) program for youth anxiety differ across research and practice settings? We examined this question in a sample of 89 youths (M age = ... -
Does the Mass Accretion Rate Depend on the Radius of the Accreting Star?
(American Astronomical Society, 2001)In some circumstances, the mass accretion rate (M) over dot (*) onto a compact star may depend not only on external boundary conditions but also on the radius R-* of the accreting star. Writing the dependence as M-* ... -
Does the Minimum Legal Drinking Age Save Lives?
(Oxford University Press, 2009)The minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) is widely believed to save lives by reducing traffic fatalities among underage drivers. Further, the Federal Uniform Drinking Age Act, which pressured all states to adopt an MLDA of ... -
Does the Repressor Coping Style Predict Lower Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms?
(Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S., 2011)We tested whether a continuous measure of repressor coping style predicted lower posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in 122 health care professionals serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Zero-order correlational ... -
Does the SDR Have a Future?

Does the Turing Test demonstrate intelligence or not?
(Assocation for the Advancement of Artifical Intelligence, 2006)The Turing Test has served as a defining inspiration throughout the early history of artificial intelligence research. Its centrality arises in part because verbal behavior indistinguishable from that of humans seems like ... -
The Dollar and Real Interest Rates
(Elsevier Science B.V., 1987)In this paper, we investigate the link between the real foreign exchange value of the dollar and real interest rates since 1979. We argue that it is important to consider the possibility that real exchange rate movements ... -
Domain Selectivity in the Parahippocampal Gyrus Is Predicted by the Same Structural Connectivity Patterns in Blind and Sighted Individuals

Domain-selective small-molecule inhibitor of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6)-mediated tubulin deacetylation
(National Academy of Sciences, 2003)Protein acetylation, especially histone acetylation, is the subject of both research and clinical investigation. At least four small-molecule histone deacetylase inhibitors are currently in clinical trials for the treatment ... -
Domain-Specific Knowledge Systems in the Brain: The Animate-Inanimate Distinction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 1998)We claim that the animate and inanimate conceptual categories represent evolutionarily adapted domain-specific knowledge systems that are subserved by distinct neural mechanisms, thereby allowing for their selective ... -
Domains of depleted mantle: New evidence from hafnium and neodymium isotopes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)Isotope systematics of basalts provide information on the distribution of mantle components and the length scale of mantle heterogeneity. To obtain this information, high data and sampling density are crucial. We present ... -

The “Domestication Syndrome” in Mammals: A Unified Explanation Based on Neural Crest Cell Behavior and Genetics
(Genetics Society of America, 2014)Charles Darwin, while trying to devise a general theory of heredity from the observations of animal and plant breeders, discovered that domesticated mammals possess a distinctive and unusual suite of heritable traits not ... -
Dominance of one bacterial phylotype at a Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal vent site.
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995)Microbial community structure in natural environments has remained largely unexplored yet is generally considered to be complex. It is shown here that in a Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal vent habitat, where food webs ... -
Don't Take the Premise for Granted: Mitigating Artifacts in Natural Language Inference
(Association of Computational Linguistics, 2019-07)Natural Language Inference (NLI) datasets often contain hypothesis-only biases—artifacts that allow models to achieve non-trivial performance without learning whether a premise entails a hypothesis. We propose two probabilistic ...
