La Primera Crisis Atlántica: La Revolución Americana
(Telefonica, 2012)El primer ensayo de esta serie analiza aquella protesta provincial —tan frecuente— contra los impuestos de la metrópoli, que se convirtió en guerra civil y, más tarde, en la primera guerra de independencia. David Armitage ... -
La représentation de l'espace dans le récit
(2015-09-09)FRENCH VERSION (LANGUAGE OF THE DISSERTATION) Cette thèse doctorale vise à définir les aspects sous lesquels le récit peut saisir un espace afin de le représenter aux lecteurs. Pour ce faire, nous avons choisi une approche ... -
La Trasgressione nella Letteratura Femminile Contemporanea Italiana
(2012-10-29)In the last twenty years, Italian female literature has been characterized by a tendency to resort to a transgressive code for creating its fictional discourse. The transgression consists of desecrating those themes that ... -
La2−xSrxCuO4 superconductor nanowire devices
(Elsevier BV, 2014)La2−xSrxCuO4 nanowire devices have been fabricated and characterized using electrical transport measurements. Nanowires with widths down to 80 nm are patterned using high-resolution electron beam lithography. However, the ... -
Label-Free Biomedical Imaging with High Sensitivity by Stimulated Raman Scattering Microscopy
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)Label-free chemical contrast is highly desirable in biomedical imaging. Spontaneous Raman microscopy provides specific vibrational signatures of chemical bonds, but is often hindered by low sensitivity. Here we report a ... -
Label-Free Imaging and Biochemical Characterization of Bovine Sperm Cells
(MDPI, 2015)A full label-free morphological and biochemical characterization is desirable to select spermatozoa during preparation for artificial insemination. In order to study these fundamental parameters, we take advantage of two ... -
Label-Free Live-Cell Imaging of Nucleic Acids Using Stimulated Raman Scattering Microscopy
(John Wiley and Sons, 2012)Imaging of nucleic acids is important for studying cellular processes such as cell division and apoptosis. A noninvasive label-free technique is attractive. Raman spectroscopy provides rich chemical information based on ... -
Label-Free Optical Imaging of Chromophores and Genome Analysis at the Single Cell Level
(2012-11-01)Since the emergence of biology as a quantitative science in the past century, a lot of biological discoveries have been driven by milestone technical advances such as X-ray crystallography, fluorescence microscopy and ... -
Label-free single-cell protein quantification using a drop-based mix-and-read system
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Quantitative protein analysis of single cells is rarely achieved due to technical difficulties of detecting minute amounts of proteins present in one cell. We develop a mix-and-read assay for drop-based label-free protein ... -
Labeling Point Features on Maps and Diagrams
(1992)A major factor affecting the clarity of graphical displays that include text labels is the degree to which labels obscure display features (including other labels) as a result of spatial overlap. Point-feature label placement ... -
Labor and Public Studies
(2017-05-11)The first chapter studies how firms set contributions to employer-provided 401(k)-type pension plans. Using a reform that decreased the subsidy for contributions to capital pension accounts for Danish workers in the top ... -
Labor Market Bargaining: Theory and Evidence From NBA Free Agency
(2016-06-22)The economist's understanding of job market negotiation is constrained by the limitations of prior models and the scarcity of testable data. Standard job search models demonstrate how firms and workers meet, but not how ... -
Labor Market Polarization Over the Business Cycle
(2014)Job losses in the Great Recession were concentrated among middle-skill workers, the same group that has suffered the most over the long-run from automation and international trade. How might long-run occupational polarization ... -
Labor Market Responses to Rising Health Insurance Costs
(RAND Corporation/Wiley-Blackwell, 1998)Increases in the cost of providing health insurance must have some effect on labor markets, either in lower wages, changes in the composition of employment, or both. Despite a presumption that most of this effect will be ... -
A Labor Market With Chinese Characteristics
(Routledge, 2015)Prior to its economic reforms, China did not have an operating labor market. The government assigned workers to firms rather than allowing them to choose their own place of work and used hukou residency policies to keep ... -
Laboratory and Modeling Studies of the Sources and Sinks of Oxygenated Volatile Organic Compounds in Forests
(2022-12-22)The biosphere acts as a significant source and sink of reactive organic carbon that can regulate atmospheric composition via formation of pollutants such as tropospheric ozone (O3) and secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Both ... -
Laboratory divergence of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 through unintended domestication and past selection for antibiotic resistance
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: A common assumption of microorganisms is that laboratory stocks will remain genetically and phenotypically constant over time, and across laboratories. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that mutations ... -
Laboulbenia slackensis and L. littoralis sp. nov. (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales), two sibling species as a result of ecological speciation
(Mycological Society of America, 2014)Laboulbenia littoralis is described from the halobiont Cafius xantholoma (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae); it previously was misidentified and not properly documented. Morphologically the new species belongs to a group of ... -
Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota) of the Boston Harbor Islands I: Species Parasitizing Coccinellidae and Staphylinidae, with Comments on Typification
(Humboldt Field Research Institute, 2015)This paper, based on a recent comprehensive sampling of insects, is the first report of Laboulbeniales from the New England region since the 1930s. We present 7 new records of laboulbenialean parasites on Staphylinidae ...
