Danger Ahead: The Reach-for-Yield Behavioral Transmission Mechanism Across Risky Assets
(2016-07-06)This paper argues for the existence of a reach-for-yield behavioral transmission mechanism which, during low-interest rate periods, drives a higher willingness to pay for dividend yield in various yield assets like high-yield ... -
Dangerous Encounters: Riots, Railways, and the Politics of Difference in French Public Space (1860-2012)
(2013-09-26)This dissertation builds a socio-cultural biography of Paris's Gare du Nord, Europe's largest railway station, from its transnational aims to connect Europe in the nineteenth century, to early twentieth century strikes, ... -
Dangerous Intersection
(University of San Francisco School of Law, 2009) -
The Dangers of Extreme Counterfactuals
(Oxford University Press, 2006)We address the problem that occurs when inferences about counterfactuals -- predictions, "what if" questions, and causal effects -- are attempted far from the available data. The danger of these extreme counterfactuals is ... -
Daniel Adee and the American editions of Newton's "Principia"

Dante’s “ultimo lavoro”: History, Self, and the Rebirth of the Pastoral in Italy
(2023-05-12)In the second half of 1319, the Bolognese scholar and poet Giovanni del Virgilio composes and sends to Dante, who at the time is residing in Ravenna at the court of Guido Novello da Polenta, a metrical epistle inviting him ... -
Daptomycin Versus Vancomycin Plus Gentamicin for Treatment of Bacteraemia and Endocarditis Due to Staphylococcus aureus: Subset Analysis of Patients Infected with Methicillin-resistant Isolates
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Objectives: In a prospective, randomized trial, daptomycin was non-inferior to standard therapy for Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia and right-sided endocarditis. Since rates of infection due to methicillin-resistant S. ... -
Dark and Light: Unifying the Origins of Dark and Visible Matter
(2012-07-23)The Standard Model of particle physics can account for neither the dark matter dominating the universe's matter density, nor the baryon asymmetry that leads to the visible matter density. This dissertation explores models ... -
Dark Begets Light: Exploring Physics Beyond the Standard Model with Cosmology
(2023-05-12)After nearly a century of inquiry, the particle nature of dark matter remains unknown. As a wide array of Dark Matter (DM) phenomenologies map onto similar variations in cosmological observ- ables, cosmology places ... -
A Dark Energy Camera Search for an Optical Counterpart to the First Advanced Ligo Gravitational Wave Event Gw150914
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)We report initial results of a deep search for an optical counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW150914, the first trigger from the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors. We used the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) ... -
A Dark Energy Camera Search for Missing Supergiants in the Lmc After the Advanced Ligo Gravitational-Wave Event Gw150914
(American Astronomical Society, 2016)The collapse of the core of a star is expected to produce gravitational radiation. While this process will usually produce a luminous supernova, the optical signatue could be subluminous and a direct collapse to a black ... -
Dark Matter as a Trigger for Periodic Comet Impacts
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)Although statistical evidence is not overwhelming, possible support for an approximately \(35 \times 10^6\) yr periodicity in the crater record on Earth could indicate a nonrandom underlying enhancement of meteorite impacts ... -
Dark Matter Interpretations of ATLAS Searches for the Electroweak Production of Supersymmetric Particles in S =8 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions
(Springer Nature, 2016)A selection of searches by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC for the electroweak production of SUSY particles are used to study their impact on the constraints on dark matter candidates. The searches use 20 fb−1 of proton–proton ... -
Dark microglia: A new phenotype predominantly associated with pathological states
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)The past decade has witnessed a revolution in our understanding of microglia. These immune cells were shown to actively remodel neuronal circuits, leading to propose new pathogenic mechanisms. To study microglial implication ... -
The Dark Side of Creativity: Original Thinkers Can Be More Dishonest
(American Psychological Association, 2012)Creativity is a common aspiration for individuals, organizations, and societies. Here, however, we test whether creativity increases dishonesty. We propose that a creative personality and a creative mindset promote ... -
Dark Side of the American Dream - Reinventing Noir Fiction for the 21st Century
The critical essay portion of my thesis provides an overview and analysis of classic noir fiction. The essay explores Dashiell Hammett's groundbreaking work in the early twentieth century and takes into account the further ... -
The Dark Side of the Mind
(National Humanities Center, 2011) -
Dark-Disk Universe
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We point out that current constraints on dark matter imply only that the majority of dark matter is cold and collisionless. A subdominant fraction of dark matter could have much stronger interactions. In particular, it ...
