Edge-Driven Mechanical Microplate Models of Strike-Slip Faulting in the Tibetan Plateau
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)The India-Asia collision zone accommodates the relative motion between India and Eurasia through both shortening and pervasive strike-slip faulting. To gain a mechanical understanding of how fault slip rates are driven ... -
Edge-State Velocity and Coherence in a Quantum Hall Fabry-Pérot Interferometer
(American Physical Society, 2009)We investigate nonlinear transport in electronic Fabry-Pérot interferometers in the integer quantum Hall regime. For interferometers sufficiently large that Coulomb blockade effects are absent, a checkerboardlike pattern ... -
Ediacaran Microfossils from the Ura Formation, Baikal-Patom Uplift, Siberia: Taxonomy and Biostratigraphic Significance
(Paleontological Society, 2011)Abundant and diverse microfossils from shales of the uppermost Ura Formation, central Siberia, document early to middle Ediacaran life along the southeastern margin of the Siberian Platform. The Ura Formation is well exposed ... -

Editorial Introduction to The PRC History Roundtable: New Perspectives in PRC History
(Editorial Board of the PRC History Group, 2017-06)The founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 has had a significant influence not only on the history of China but also on how that history has been studied. As the mainland closed its borders and barred its ... -
Editors' Introduction: Adorno, Music, Modernity
(Duke University Press, 2016)“As a temporal art,” Adorno observed, “music is bound to the fact of succession and is hence as irreversible as time itself. By starting it commits itself to carrying on, to becoming something new, to developing. What we ... -

Education and Income in the Early 20th Century: Evidence from the Prairies
(Cambridge University Press, 2000)We present the first estimates of the returns to years of schooling before 1940 using a large sample individuals (from the 1915 Iowa State Census). The returns to a year of high school or college were substantial in ... -
Education and Income in the Early Twentieth Century: Evidence from the Prairies
(Cambridge University Press, 2000)We present the first estimates of the returns to years of schooling before 1940 using a large sample individuals (from the 1915 Iowa State Census). The returns to a year of high school or college were substantial in ... -
Education and Military Rivalry
(2012)Using data from the last 150 years in a small set of countries, and from the postwar period in a large set of countries, we show that large investments in state primary education systems tend to occur when countries face ... -
Education, Complaints, and Accountability
(University of Chicago Press, 2013)Better-educated countries have better governments, an empirical regularity that holds in both dictatorships and democracies. Possible reasons for this fact are that educated people are more likely to complain about misconduct ... -
Education, market rigidities and growth
(Elsevier BV, 2009)This paper investigates the effects of the education level, product market rigidities and employment protection legislation on growth. It exploits macro-panel data for OECD countries. For countries close to the technological ... -
Effect of 2 Psychotherapies on Depression and Disease Activity in Pediatric Crohn's Disease
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with depression. It is unclear if psychosocial interventions offer benefit for depressive symptoms during active CD. In this secondary analysis of a larger study of treating ... -
The effect of a "bent-knee" gait on trabecular orientation: an experiment test of Wolff's Law
(John Wiley & Sons, 2005)While recent attempts have been made to link trabecular orientation to gait and posture in extinct hominids, there have been few controlled experiments to test the hypothesis that there is a predictable functional relationship ... -
Effect of absorption enthalpy on temperature-swing CO2 separation process performance
(Elsevier BV, 2011)We model a CO2 absorption process to elucidate the rationale for the search for a solvent with an enthalpy of absorption (ΔH) of low magnitude. We explore the relationship between ΔH and the system’s performance. While ...
