The Effects of Somatic Hypermutation on Neutralization and Binding in the PGT121 Family of Broadly Neutralizing HIV Antibodies
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies (bnAbs) are typically highly somatically mutated, raising doubts as to whether they can be elicited by vaccination. We used 454 sequencing and designed a novel phylogenetic method to ... -
Effects of Subliminal Priming of Self and God on Self-Attribution of Authorship for Events
(Elsevier, 2008)Three studies investigated how subliminally primed thoughts of an agent prior to action can affect ascriptions of authorship for that action. Participants competed against a computer program to remove words from a computer ... -
Effects of supermassive binary black holes on gravitational lenses
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Recent observations indicate that many, if not all, galaxies host massive central black holes (BHs). In this paper, we explore the influence of supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) on their actions as gravitational ... -
The Effects of Surface Profile and Interface Correlations on X-Ray Reflectivity from Fluid Interfaces
(Institute of Physics, 1994)Following a brief review of the physics by which X-ray scattering can be made surface sensitive, we will discuss some details of the effects that interfacial roughness and asymmetry of interfacial profiles have on measurements ... -
Effects of Taxes on Economic Behavior
(National Tax Association, 2008)This paper discusses how the effects of taxes on economic behavior are important for revenue estimation, for calculating efficiency effects, and for understanding short-term macroeconomic consequences. The primary focus ... -
Effects of the Distribution of Female Primates on the Number of Males
(Public Library of Science, 2011)The spatiotemporal distribution of females is thought to drive variation in mating systems, and hence plays a central role in understanding animal behavior, ecology and evolution. Previous research has focused on investigating ... -
Effects of Thermal Roughness on X-ray Studies of Liquid Surfaces
(Elsevier, 2000)The effects of thermal roughness on X-ray studies of liquid surfaces will be discussed. In contrast to solid surfaces, for which the surface height–height correlation function remains finite at large distances, for liquid ... -
The effects of trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the emotion-induced memory trade-off
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2012)Many past examinations of memory changes in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have focused on changes in memory for trauma. However, it is unclear if these mnemonic differences extend beyond the memory ... -
Effects of Wandering on the Coalescence of Black Hole Binaries in Galactic Centers
(American Astronomical Society, 2003)We examine whether massive binary black holes in spherically symmetric bulges of galaxies can achieve coalescence through the emission of gravitational radiation under the action of stellar dynamical processes alone. In ... -
Effects of X-Linkage and Sex-Biased Gene Expression on the Rate of Adaptive Protein Evolution in Drosophila
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Patterns of polymorphism and divergence in Drosophila protein-coding genes suggest that a considerable fraction of amino acid differences between species can be attributed to positive selection and that genes with sex-biased ... -
Effects of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors on Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Gout: A Cohort Study
(Elsevier BV, 2015)BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia and gout are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is unknown whether treating hyperuricemia with xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs), including allopurinol and ... -
Efficiency and Observability with Long-Run and Short-Run Players
(Elsevier, 1994)We present a general algorithm for computing the limit, as δ → 1, of the set of payoffs of perfect public equilibria of repeated games with long-run and short-run players, allowing for the possibility that the players′ ... -
Efficiency Improvements in Constructing Pseudorandom Generators from One-Way Functions
(Hasso-Plattner-Institut fuer Softwaresystemtechnik GmbH, 2010)We give a new construction of pseudorandom generators from any one-way function. The construction achieves better parameters and is simpler than that given in the seminal work of Haastad, Impagliazzo, Levin and Luby [SICOMP ... -
Efficiency of Cathodoluminescence Emission by Nitrogen-Vacancy Color Centers in Nanodiamonds
(Wiley, 2017-04-18)Correlated electron microscopy and cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging using functionalized nanoparticles is a promising nanoscale probe of biological structure and function. Nanodiamonds (NDs) that contain CL‐emitting color ... -
Efficiency of CD19 chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells for treatment of B cell malignancies in phase I clinical trials: a meta-analysis
(Impact Journals LLC, 2015)Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells targeted CD19 showed promising clinical outcomes in treatment of B cell malignances such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and other ... -
Efficiency of energy funneling in the photosystem II supercomplex of higher plants
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)The investigation of energy transfer properties in photosynthetic multi-protein networks gives insight into their underlying design principles. Here, we discuss the excitonic energy transfer mechanisms of the photosystem ... -
The Efficiency of Investment in the Presence of Aggregate Demand Spillovers
(University of Chicago Press, 1988)In the presence of aggregate demand spillovers, an imperfectly competitive firm's profit is positively related to aggregate income, which in turn rises with profits of all firms in the economy. This pecuniary externality ... -
Efficiency of linear estimators under heavy-tailedness: convolutions of [alpha]-symmetric distributions.
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)This paper focuses on the analysis of efficiency, peakedness, and majorization properties of linear estimators under heavy-tailedness assumptions. We demonstrate that peakedness and majorization properties of log-concavely ... -
Efficiency of Magnetic to Kinetic Energy Conversion in a Monopole Magnetosphere
(IOP Publishing, 2009)Unconfined relativistic outflows from rotating, magnetized compact objects are often well modeled by assuming that the field geometry is approximately a split-monopole at large radii. Earlier work has indicated that such ... -
