Dental Evidence from the Aterian Human Populations of Morocco
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)The Aterian fossil hominins represent one of the most abundant series of human remains associated with Middle Stone Age/Middle Paleolithic assemblages in Africa. Their dates have been revised and they are now mostly assigned ... -
Dental Ontogeny in Pliocene and Early Pleistocene Hominins
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Until recently, our understanding of the evolution of human growth and development derived from studies of fossil juveniles that employed extant populations for both age determination and comparison. This circular approach ... -
Dental tissue proportions in fossil orangutans from mainland Asia and Indonesia
(Asian-Australian Association of Paleoanthopologists, 2011)Orangutans (Pongo) are the only great ape genus with a substantial Pleistocene and Holocene fossil record, demonstrating a much larger geographic range than extant populations. In addition to having an extensive fossil ... -
Dental-aspirate presents in Greek and Indo-European
(2023-01-18)This work examines the class of Greek presents in -θε/ο- and, by comparison with cognate formations in the other Indo-European daughter languages, attempts to recover the form and function of the dental aspirate suffix in ... -
Deontic Intentionality
(2024-05-10)I aim to vindicate, in naturalistic terms, the idea that our beliefs ‘aim at truth’ in a strikingly strong sense: we are subject to the Truth Norm (“TN”) on our beliefs, whose content is one ought to believe p iff p. The ... -
Deoxyfluorination of Phenols
(American Chemical Society, 2011)An operationally simple ipso fluorination of phenols with a new deoxyfluorination reagent is presented. -
Departures from eustasy in Pliocene sea-level records
(Nature Research, 2011)Proxy data suggest that atmospheric CO2 levels during the middle of the Pliocene epoch (about 3 Myr ago) were similar to today, leading to the use of this interval as a potential analogue for future climate change. Estimates ... -
Dependence of Avidity on Linker Length for a Bivalent Ligand–Bivalent Receptor Model System
(American Chemical Society, 2012)This paper describes a synthetic dimer of carbonic anhydrase, and a series of bivalent sulfonamide ligands with different lengths (25 to 69 Å between the ends of the fully extended ligands), as a model system to use in ... -
Dependence of entrainment in shallow cumulus convection on vertical velocity and distance to cloud edge
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)The dependence of entrainment rate on environmental conditions and cloud characteristics is investigated using large eddy simulations (LES) of the response of shallow cumulus convection to a small-amplitude temperature ... -
The dependence of nonadiabatic couplings on the origin of electron coordinates
(AIP Publishing, 2002)It is shown both analytically and numerically for a number of examples that both radial and rotational nonadiabatic couplings within the standard adiabatic approach depend on the origin of the light-particle coordinates ... -
Dependence of nuclear spin singlet lifetimes on RF spin-locking power
(Elsevier BV, 2012)We measure the lifetime of long-lived nuclear spin singlet states as a function of the strength of the RF spin-locking field and present a simple theoretical model that agrees well with our measurements, including the ... -
Dependence of the energy gap on T c: Absence of scaling in the copper oxide superconductors
(American Physical Society, 1993) -
The Dependence of Value on Humanity
(Oxford University Press, 2003)This chapter discusses socially dependent attributes by providing an example of appreciating two different buildings. It comments on the idea of philosophising about value as it can perhaps be applied to a number of terms ... -
Dependence on Persons and Dependence on Things in Rousseau's Social, Psychological, and Aesthetic Theory
(2018-03-02)Jean-Jacques Rousseau is often associated with a certain political form of relating to another as a person, where a person is seen as a locus of enforceable demands. Nevertheless, as I argue in this dissertation, Rousseau ... -
Dependent type theory of stateful higher-order functions
(2005)In this paper we investigate a logic for reasoning about programs with higher-order functions and effectful features like non-termination and state with aliasing. We propose a dependent type theory HTT (short for Hoare ... -
Dependent, but not Perfectionistic, Dysfunctional Attitudes Predict Worsened Mood and Appraisals after Emotional Support from a Romantic Partner
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)Background: Receiving emotional support from a romantic partner often leads to emotional costs via negative appraisals about the self and one's relationship, but it is unclear whether certain individuals are more susceptible ... -
Depletion of the Bose-Einstein condensate in Bose-Fermi mixtures
(American Physical Society, 2005)We describe the properties of a mixture of fermionic and bosonic atoms, as they are tuned across a Feshbach resonance associated with a fermionic molecular state. Provided the number of fermionic atoms exceeds the number ... -
Deploying Affect-Inspired Mechanisms to Enhance Agent Decision-Making and Communication
(2012-12-20)Computer agents are required to make appropriate decisions quickly and efficiently. As the environments in which they act become increasingly complex, efficient decision-making becomes significantly more challenging. This ... -
Deploying AI Methods to Support Collaborative Writing: A Preliminary Investigation
(2015)Many documents (e.g., academic papers, government reports) are typically written by multiple authors. While existing tools facilitate and support such collaborative efforts (e.g., Dropbox, Google Docs), these tools lack ... -
Depolarization Dynamics in a Strongly Interacting Solid-State Spin Ensemble
(American Physical Society, 2017)
