Continuing Orality and the Environment in Korean Literature: Writing as a Mode of Oral Performance in the Twentieth Century to the Present
(2018-05-16)This dissertation examines the intersections of oral performance, literature, and the environment in Korea in the twentieth century to the present. I create a new model for the interplay between the oral and the written ... -
Continuities and discontinuities in working memory representations of collections over ontogeny
(2014-10-23)Working memory, or the ability to maintain and manipulate information such that it can be used to guide behavior, is known to be severely capacity limited, in most circumstances, to about 3-4 objects. Both infants and ... -
Continuities of Change: Conversion and Convertibility in Northern Mozambique
(2014-10-21)Recent scholarship on Africa gives the impression of a singular narrative regarding Pentecostalism, that of inexorable rise. Indisputably, Pentecostalism's "explosion" throughout the global South is one of today's more ... -
Continuity, Coherence, and Change: Examining the Conditions for Effective Intervention Practices in an Urban School District
(2018-04-30)Public school districts are responsible for ensuring that all of their students receive a high-quality education and achieve academic success. What, then, should a district do when a student is struggling to master grade ... -
Continuous directed evolution of DNA-binding proteins to improve TALEN specificity
(2015)Nucleases containing programmable DNA-binding domains can alter the genomes of model organisms and have the potential to become human therapeutics. Here we present DNA-binding phage-assisted continuous evolution (DB-PACE) ... -
Continuous Directed Evolution of Enzymes with Novel Substrate Specificity
(2013-07-05)Methodological advances in directed evolution have already made it possible to discover useful biomolecules within months to years. A further acceleration of this process might make it possible to address outstanding ... -
Continuous evolution of B. thuringiensis toxins overcomes insect resistance
(2016)The Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxins (Bt toxins) are widely used insecticidal proteins in engineered crops that provide agricultural, economic, and environmental benefits. The development of insect resistance to Bt ... -
Continuous Evolution of Proteases With Altered Specificity
(2017-04-17)The following thesis work aims to establish a method for the generation of proteases with tailor-made substrate specificities. This programmability will enable the design of proteases that modulate the activity of a target ... -
Continuous Flow Microfluidic Bioparticle Concentrator
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Innovative microfluidic technology has enabled massively parallelized and extremely efficient biological and clinical assays. Many biological applications developed and executed with traditional bulk processing techniques ... -
Continuous GPS measurements of postglacial adjustment in Fennoscandia: 2. Modeling results
(American Geophysical Union, 2004)[1] Data collected under the auspices of the BIFROST GPS project yield a geographically dense suite of estimates of present-day, three-dimensional (3-D) crustal deformation rates in Fennoscandia [Johansson et al., 2002]. ... -
A continuous measure of gross primary production for the conterminous United States derived from MODIS and AmeriFlux data
(Elsevier BV, 2010)The quantification of carbon fluxes between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere is of scientific importance and also relevant to climate-policy making. Eddy covariance flux towers provide continuous measurements ... -
Continuous mode cooling and phonon routers for phononic quantum networks
(Institute of Physics, 2012)We study the implementation of quantum state transfer protocols in phonon networks, where in analogy to optical networks, quantum information is transmitted through propagating phonons in extended mechanical resonator ... -
Continuous perception of motion and shape across saccadic eye movements
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), 2010)Although our naïve experience of visual perception is that it is smooth and coherent, the actual input from the retina involves brief and discrete fixations separated by saccadic eye movements. This raises the question of ... -
Continuous Spikes and Waves during Sleep: Electroclinical Presentation and Suggestions for Management
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)Continuous spikes and waves during sleep (CSWS) is an epileptic encephalopathy characterized in most patients by (1) difficult to control seizures, (2) interictal epileptiform activity that becomes prominent during sleep ... -
Continuous Time Limits of Repeated Games with Imperfect Public Monitoring
(Elsevier, 2007)In a repeated game with imperfect public information, the set of equilibria depends on the way that the distribution of public signals varies with the players' actions. Recent research has focused on the case of “frequent ... -
The Continuous Wagon Wheel Illusion and the ‘When’ Pathway of the Right Parietal Lobe: A Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study
(Public Library of Science, 2008)A continuous periodic motion stimulus can sometimes be perceived moving in the wrong direction. These illusory reversals have been taken as evidence that part of the motion perception system samples its inputs as a series ... -
Continuous, Long-Term, High-Frequency Thermal Imaging of Vegetation: Uncertainties and Recommended Best Practices
(Elsevier BV, 2016-11)Leaf temperature is an elementary driver of plant physiology, ecology and ecosystem productivity. Individual leaf temperature may deviate strongly from air temperature, and may vary throughout the canopy. Measurements of ... -
Continuously tunable microdroplet-laser in a microfluidic channel
(Optical Society of America (OSA), 2011)This paper describes the generation and optical characterization of a series of dye-doped droplet-based optical microcavities with continuously decreasing radius in a microfluidic channel. A flow-focusing nozzle generated ... -
Continuum Approach to Self-Similarity and Scaling in Nanostructure Decay
(American Physical Society, 2005)The morphological relaxation of axisymmetric crystal surfaces with a single facet below the roughening transition temperature is studied analytically for diffusion-limited (DL) and attachment-detachment-limited (ADL) ...
