Masticatory Motor Patterns in Six Herbivorous Australian Marsupials
(John Wiley & Sons, 2007)Electomyograms of the adductor muscles of the hairy-nosed wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons), red kangaroo (Macropus rufus), Tammar wallaby (M. eugenii), koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), potoroo (Potorous tridactylus) and the ... -
Matching as Nonparametric Preprocessing for Reducing Model Dependence in Parametric Causal Inference
(Oxford University Press, 2007)Although published works rarely include causal estimates from more than a few model specifications, authors usually choose the presented estimates from numerous trial runs readers never see. Given the often large variation ... -
Matching Causality Hypotheses to Simulations of Biological Systems
(2016-07-06)Computational models for studying chemical reaction networks are indispensable tools for analyzing the intertwined reactions involved in complex biological systems. Indeed, executable models such as the programming language ... -
Matching with Couples: Stability and Incentives in Large Markets*
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)Accommodating couples has been a longstanding issue in the design of centralized labor market clearinghouses for doctors and psychologists, because couples view pairs of jobs as complements. A stable matching may not exist ... -
Matching, Sorting, and the Distributional Effects of International Trade
(University of Chicago Press, 2017)We study the distributional consequences of trade in a world with two industries and two heterogeneous factors of production. Productivity in each production unit reflects the ability of the manager and the abilities of ... -
MatchIt: Nonparametric Preprocessing for Parametric Causal Inference
(University of California, Los Angeles, 2011)MatchIt implements the suggestions of Ho, Imai, King, and Stuart (2007) for improving parametric statistical models by preprocessing data with nonparametric matching methods. MatchIt implements a wide range of sophisticated ... -
Material Witness: Doris Salcedo's Practice as an Address on Political Violence through Materiality
(2014-02-25)Material Witness: Doris Salcedo's Practice as an Address on Political Violence through Materiality -
Material-based deployment enhances efficacy of endothelial progenitor cells
(National Academy of Sciences, 2008)Cell-based therapies are attractive for revascularizing and regenerating tissues and organs, but clinical trials of endothelial progenitor cell transplantation have not resulted in consistent benefit. We propose a different ... -
Materiality and Writing: Circulation of Texts, Reading and Reception, and Production of Literature in Late 18th-century Korea
(2014-10-21)This study explores the literature of late Choson in its material context, examining how the physical aspects of the production and circulation of texts impacted the practice of writing. By analyzing various travelogues ... -
Materializing Identity—A Statistical Analysis of the Western Zhou Liulihe Cemetery
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2012)Questions of identity are of paramount importance in research of the Western Zhou period, both in the central plain and among its vassal states. Yet most research done to date has focused on the Zhou bureaucratic order and ... -
Materials Acceleration Platform: Accelerating Advanced Energy Materials Discovery by Integrating High-Throughput Methods and Artificial Intelligence.
(Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, 2018) -
Materials and mechanisms for amorphous robotic construction
(2012)We present and compare three different amorphous materials for robotic construction. By conforming to surfaces they are deposited on, such materials allow robots to reliably construct in unstructured terrain. However, using ... -
Materials Informatics for Catalyst Stability & Functionality
(2021-05-13)Accelerating materials design & discovery will be critical to reducing society's dependence on fossil fuel-based energy sources. Computational methods such as density-functional theory, high-throughput workflow automation, ... -
Materials to enable and enhance T-cell immunotherapies
(2021-11-16)Immunotherapies involving engineered T cells have shown remarkable clinical outcomes for the treatment of cancer, particularly hematological malignancies, such as leukemia and lymphoma. However, several barriers need to ... -
The Maternal and Early Embryonic Transcriptome of the Milkweed Bug Oncopeltus fasciatus
(BioMed Central, 2011)Background. Most evolutionary developmental ("evo-devo") studies of emerging model organisms focus on small numbers of candidate genes cloned individually using degenerate PCR. However, newly available sequencing technologies ... -
Maternal Health and Child Development Programs in the United States and Rwanda: An Evaluation of Policies to Improve Quality and Efficiency
(2013-03-06)This dissertation evaluates national programs in the United States and Rwanda that aim to strengthen maternal care and promote healthy child development, which remain significantly policy challenges globally. Chapter one ... -
Maternal Panic Disorder: Infant Temperament, Neurophysiology, and Parenting Behaviors
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003)Objective: To determine whether 4- and 14-month-old infants of mothers with panic disorder (PD) would be more likely to show differences in temperament, neurophysiology (salivary cortisol and sleep), and relationships with ... -
Maternal-Fetal Conflict: Rapidly Evolving Proteins in the Rodent Placenta
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010)Conflicting evolutionary interests between mother and offspring are hypothesized to drive an evolutionary arms race during mammalian pregnancy, and thus, positive selection may cause the rapid divergence of placental ... -
Maternal:fetal functional antibody transfer for protection against SARS-CoV-2
(2022-06-06)The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has posed a serious global health threat since its emergence in late 2019, resulting in millions ...
