'Anti-Benthamism': Utilitarianism and the French Liberal Tradition
(Cambridge University Press, 2012) -
Anti-Brownian Traps for Studies on Single Molecules
(Elsevier BV, 2010)Until recently, Brownian motion was seen as an immutable feature of small particles in room-temperature liquids. Molecules, viruses, organelles, and small cells jiggle incessantly due to countless collisions with thermally ... -
Anti-de Sitter fragmentation
(Springer Verlag, 1999)Low-energy, near-horizon scaling limits of black holes which lead to string theory on AdS(2) x S-2 are described. Unlike the higher-dimensional cases, in the simplest approach all finite-energy excitations of AdS(2) x S-2 ... -
Anti-diabetic activity of insulin-degrading enzyme inhibitors mediated by multiple hormones
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Despite decades of speculation that inhibiting endogenous insulin degradation might treat type-2 diabetes, and the identification of IDE (insulin-degrading enzyme) as a diabetes susceptibility gene, the relationship between ... -
An anti-infective synthetic peptide with dual antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activities
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Antibiotic-resistant infections are predicted to kill 10 million people per year by 2050, costing the global economy $100 trillion. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop alternative technologies. We have engineered ... -
Anti-proliferative activity of the NPM1 interacting natural product avrainvillamide in acute myeloid leukemia
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Mutated nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1) acts as a proto-oncogene and is present in ~30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here we examined the in vitro and in vivo anti-leukemic activity of the NPM1 and chromosome ... -
Anti-Reflection Coating for Nitrogen-Vacancy Optical Measurements in Diamond
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2012)We realize anti-reflection (AR) coatings for optical excitation and fluorescence measurements of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in bulk diamond by depositing quarter-wavelength thick silica layers on the diamondsurface. ... -
Antialiasing for Automultiscopic 3D Displays
(Eurographics Association, 2006)Automultiscopic displays show stereoscopic images that can be viewed from any viewpoint without special glasses. They hold great promise for the future of television and digital entertainment. However, the image quality ... -
The anticancer natural product ophiobolin A induces cytotoxicity by covalent modification of phosphatidylethanolamine
(eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd, 2016)Phenotypic screens allow the identification of small molecules with promising anticancer activity, but the difficulty in characterizing the mechanism of action of these compounds in human cells often undermines their value ... -
Anticipating One's Troubles: The Costs and Benefits of Negative Expectations
(American Psychological Association, 2009)Although negative expectations may have the benefit of softening the blow when a negative event occurs, they also have the cost of making people feel worse while they are waiting for that event to happen. Three studies ... -
Anticipation of Monetary Reward Can Attenuate the Vigilance Decrement
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Motivation and reward can have differential effects on separate aspects of sustained attention. We previously demonstrated that continuous reward/punishment throughout a sustained attention task improves overall performance, ... -
Anticorrelated Hard/Soft X-Ray Emission from the X-Ray Burster 4U 0614+091
(American Astronomical Society, 1996)We have detected transient X-ray activity from the X-ray burster 4U 0614+091 simultaneously with BATSE on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (20-100 keV) and the all-sky monitor (ASM) on board the Rossi X-Ray Timing ... -
Antidepressants and Advertising: Psychopharmaceuticals in Crisis
(YJBM, 2012)As the efficacy and science of psychopharmaceuticals has become increasingly uncertain, marketing of these drugs to both physicians and consumers continues to a central part of a multi-billion dollar per year industry in ... -
Antidumping: The Third Rail of Trade Policy
(Council on Foreign Relations, 2005)Although few U.S. politicians will admit it, antidumping policy has strayed far from its original purpose of guarding against predatory foreign firms. It is now little more than an excuse for a few powerful industries to ... -
Antiferromagnetic metal phase in an electron-doped rare-earth nickelate
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-01-30)Long viewed as passive elements, antiferromagnetic materials have emerged as promising candidates for spintronic devices due to their insensitivity to external fields and potential for high-speed switching. Recent work ... -
Antiferromagnetic noise correlations in optical lattices
(American Physical Society (APS), 2009)We analyze how noise correlations probed by time-of-flight experiments reveal antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations of fermionic atoms in two-dimensional and three-dimensional optical lattices. Combining analytical and quantum ... -
Antiferromagnetism in Metals: From the Cuprate Superconductors to the Heavy Fermion Materials
(IOP Publishing, 2012)The critical theory of the onset of antiferromagnetism in metals, with concomitant Fermi surface reconstruction, has recently been shown to be strongly coupled in two spatial dimensions. The onset of unconventional ... -
Antifungal Chemical Compounds Identified Using a C. elegans Pathogenicity Assay
(Public Library of Science, 2007)There is an urgent need for the development of new antifungal agents. A facile in vivo model that evaluates libraries of chemical compounds could solve some of the main obstacles in current antifungal discovery. We show ... -
Antigen presentation subverted: Structure of the human cytomegalovirus protein US2 bound to the class I molecule HLA-A2
(National Academy of Sciences, 2001) -
Antigen Processing and Presentation: TAPping into ABC Transporters
(Elsevier, 2009)Adaptive, cell-mediated immunity involves the presentation of antigenic peptides on class I MHC molecules at the cell surface. This requires an ABC transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) to transport antigenic ...
