    • Failure by Simultaneous Grain Growth, Strain Localization, and Interface Debonding in Metal Films on Polymer Substrates 

      Lu, Nanshu; Wang, Xi; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (Materials Research Society, 2009)
      In a previous paper, we have demonstrated that a microcrystalline copper film well bonded to a polymer substrate can be stretched beyond 50% without cracking. The film eventually fails through the co-evolution of necking ...
    • Failure of Conventional Density Functionals for the Prediction of Molecular Crystal Polymorphism: A Quantum Monte Carlo Study 

      Hongo, Kenta; Watson, Mark A.; Sánchez-Carrera, Roel S.; Iitaka, Toshiaki; Aspuru-Guzik, Alan (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)
      We have applied the diffusion Monte Carlo method, for the first time, to an organic molecular crystal (para-diiodobenzene) in order to determine the relative stability of its two well-known polymorphs. The DMC result ...
    • Failure of Working Memory Training to Enhance Cognition or Intelligence 

      Thompson, Todd W.; Waskom, Michael L.; Garel, Keri-Lee Alyson; Cardenas-Iniguez, Carlos; Reynolds, Gretchen O.; Winter, Rebecca; Chang, Patricia; Pollard, Kiersten; Lala, Nupur; Alvarez, George Angelo; Gabrieli, John D.E. (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Fluid intelligence is important for successful functioning in the modern world, but much evidence suggests that fluid intelligence is largely immutable after childhood. Recently, however, researchers have reported gains ...
    • Failure to Modulate Attentional Control in Advanced Aging Linked to White Matter Pathology 

      Hedden, Trey; Sperling, Reisa Anne; Johnson, Keith Alan; Buckner, Randy Lee; van Dijk, Koene R. A.; Shire, Emily H. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
      Advanced aging is associated with reduced attentional control and less flexible information processing. Here, the origins of these cognitive effects were explored using a functional magnetic resonance imaging task that ...
    • Faint X‐Ray Sources in the Globular Cluster Terzan 5 

      Heinke, C. O.; Wijnands, R.; Cohn, H. N.; Lugger, P. M.; Grindlay, J. E.; Pooley, D.; Lewin, W. H. G. (American Astronomical Society, 2006)
    • Fair algorithms for selecting citizens’ assemblies 

      Flanigan, Bailey; Gölz, Paul; Gupta, Anupam; Hennig, Brett; Procaccia, Ariel D. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-08-04)
      Globally, there has been a recent surge in ‘citizens’ assemblies’, which are a form of civic participation in which a panel of randomly selected constituents contributes to questions of policy. The random process for ...
    • Fair Division via Social Comparison 

      Abebe, Rediet; Kleinberg, Jon; Parkes, David
      We study cake cutting on a graph, where agents can only evaluate their shares relative to their neighbors. This is an extension of the classical problem of fair division to incorporate the notion of social comparison from ...
    • Fair Information Sharing for Treasure Hunting 

      Chen, Yiling; Nissim, Kobbi; Waggoner, Bo (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2015)
      In a search task, a group of agents compete to be the first to find the solution. Each agent has different private information to incorporate into its search. This problem is inspired by settings such as scientific research, ...
    • Fair Measures: A Behavioral Realist Revision of "Affirmative Action" 

      Kang, Jerry; Banaji, Mahzarin R. (California Law Review Inc., 2006)
      New facts recently discovered in the mind and behavioral sciences have the potential to transform both lay and expert conceptions of affirmative action. Drawing on recent findings in implicit social cognition (ISC) and ...
    • Fair Package Assignment 

      Lahaie, Sébastien; Parkes, David C. (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2009)
      We consider the problem of fair allocation in the package assignment model, where a set of indivisible items, held by single seller, must be efficiently allocated to agents with quasi-linear utilities. A fair assignment ...
    • Fairness and Redistribution 

      Alesina, Alberto; Angeletos, George-Marios (American Economic Association, 2005)
      Different beliefs about the fairness of social competition and what determines income inequality influence the redistributive policy chosen in a society. But the composition of income in equilibrium depends on tax policies. ...
    • Fairness as Appropriateness: Negotiating Epistemological Differences in Peer Review 

      Mallard, Grégoire; Lamont, Michele; Guetzkow, Joshua (Sage Publications, 2009)
      Epistemological differences fuel continuous and frequently divisive debates in the social sciences and the humanities. Sociologists have yet to consider how such differences affect peer evaluation. The empirical literature ...
    • Fairness with an Honest Minority and a Rational Majority 

      Ong, Shien Jin; Parkes, David C.; Rosen, Alon; Vadhan, Salil P. (Springer Verlag, 2009)
      We provide a simple protocol for secret reconstruction in any threshold secret sharing scheme, and prove that it is fair when executed with many rational parties together with a small minority of honest parties. That is, ...
    • Fairness, Equality, and Democracy: Three Big Words 

      Verba, Sidney (New School for Social Research, 2006)
      In this paper I will focus on what might be meant by fairness in a democratic regime. There may be more general fairness criteria applicable to any political system, democratic or authoritarian, but fairness in relation ...
    • Fairness, Risk Preferences and Independence: Impossibility Theorems 

      Fudenberg, Drew; Lavine, David K. (Elsevier, 2012)
      The most widely used economic models of social preferences are specified only for certain outcomes. There are two obvious methods of extending them to lotteries. If we do so by expected utility theory, so that the independence ...
    • Faith and Hermeneutics: Pragmatism versus Pragmatism 

      Simpson, William (Duke University Press, 2003)
    • Faith in Museums: On the Confluence of Museums and Religious Sites in Asia 

      Robson, James (Modern Language Association (MLA), 2010)
    • Faithfulness in Internet Algorithms 

      Shneidman, Jeffrey; Parkes, David C.; Massoulie, Laurent (Association for Computing Machinery, 2004)
      Proving or disproving faithfulness (a property describing robustness to rational manipulation in action as well as information revelation) is an appealing goal when reasoning about distributed systems containing rational ...
    • FAK activation is required for IGF1R-mediated regulation of EMT, migration, and invasion in mesenchymal triple negative breast cancer cells 

      Taliaferro-Smith, LaTonia; Oberlick, Elaine; Liu, Tongrui; McGlothen, Tanisha; Alcaide, Tiffanie; Tobin, Rachel; Donnelly, Siobhan; Commander, Rachel; Kline, Erik; Nagaraju, Ganji Purnachandra; Havel, Lauren; Marcus, Adam; Nahta, Rita; O'Regan, Ruth (Impact Journals LLC, 2015)
      Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly metastatic disease that currently lacks effective prevention and treatment strategies. The insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) ...
