The Mandelbrot Set is Universal
(Cambridge University Press, 2000)We show small Mandelbrot sets are dense in the bifurcation locus for any holomorphic family of rational maps. -
Manetti's Socrates and the Socrateses of Antiquity
(Le Lettere, 2008)This article argues that Giannozzo Manetti's <i>Life of Socrates</i> (c. 1440), seemingly a random pastiche of ancient sources, is in fact carefully constructed to present a particular image of Socrates, a Socrates who can ... -
Manipulating Barocaloric Effects in Two-Dimensional Metal–Halide Perovskites through Compositional Engineering
(2022-06-03)The cooling sector is projected to become one of the largest drivers of climate change in the next few decades. Barocaloric materials, which undergo thermal changes in response to hydrostatic pressure, have the potential ... -
Manipulating Light on Wavelength Scale
(2013-09-18)Light, at the length-scale on the order of its wavelength, does not simply behave as "light ray", but instead diffracts, scatters, and interferes with itself, as governed by Maxwell's equations. A profound understanding ... -
Manipulating Phase Transitions in Barocaloric Materials
(2023-06-01)Solid-state phase transitions are central to the design of the advanced, responsive materials needed to help address a wide range of pressing global challenges. This is particularly relevant in the context of barocaloric ... -
Manipulating Phase Transitions in Metal–Organic Materials for Thermal Applications
(2023-06-01)The thermal properties of phase transitions are critical for materials used in thermal energy storage, heating and cooling, memory, and materials processing. Despite their high degree of modularity and tunability, metal–organic ... -
Manipulating Somatic Cells to Remove Barriers in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Reprogramming
(2013-10-08)Development leads unidirectionally towards a more restricted cell fate that is usually stable. However, it has been proven that developmental systems are reversible by the success of animal cloning of a differentiated ... -
Manipulating the Gut Microbiome to Improve Health
(2021-09-09)The human gut microbiome is rapidly gaining attention for its connections to a long list of health and disease states, presenting new opportunities to modulate human health using microbiome therapeutics. In this dissertation, ... -
Manipulation of a VEGF-Notch signaling circuit drives formation of functional vascular endothelial progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived endothelial lineage cells constitutes a promising source for therapeutic revascularization, but progress in this arena has been hampered by a lack of clinically-scalable differentiation ... -
Mantle avalanche as a driving force for tectonic reorganization in the southwest Pacific
(Elsevier, 2003)The mechanism responsible for the recent, dramatic reorganization of the tectonic plate boundary in the New Hebrides region of the southwest Pacific has remained elusive. We propose that an ongoing avalanche of cold, dense ... -
Mantle Source Variations beneath the Eastern Lau Spreading Center and the Nature of Subduction Components in the Lau Basin-Tonga Arc System
(American Geophysical Union, 2009)New high-density sampling of the Eastern Lau Spreading Center provides constraints on the processes that affect the mantle wedge beneath a back-arc environment, including the effect of the subduction input on basalt ... -
Manufacturing and Design of Echinoderm-Inspired Underwater Soft Robots
(2021-07-12)Echinoderms, a unique group of marine invertebrates that include sea stars and sea urchins, have emerged recently as a unique focus in the soft robotics field. These animals have unique biological actuators, symmetrical ... -
The Many Faces of Consistency in Cross-Platform Design: A Whitepaper
(CEUR, 2006)This white paper summarizes the position papers and questionnaires filled out by the participants of “The Many Faces of Consistency in Cross-Platform Design” workshop, to be held at CHI’2006. The whitepaper will serve as ... -
Many Peoples of Obscure Speech and Difficult Language: Attitudes towards Linguistic Diversity in the Hebrew Bible
(2015-09-19)The subject of this dissertation is the awareness of linguistic diversity in the Hebrew Bible—that is, the recognition evident in certain biblical texts that the world’s languages differ from one another. Given the frequent ... -
The Many Places of Frequency: Evidence for a Novel Locus of the Lexical Frequency Effect in Word Production
(Taylor and Francis, 2008)The effect of lexical frequency on language-processing tasks is exceptionally reliable. For example, pictures with higher frequency names are named faster and more accurately than those with lower frequency names. Experiments ... -
Many Ways to Be Right: The Unbundling of European Mass Attitudes and Partisan Asymmetries Across the Ideological Divide
(2016-05-18)How do individuals with conflicting attitudes on different issues – those with conservative attitudes on some issues but progressive attitudes on other issues – form their partisan allegiances? In examining this question, ... -
Many ways to die, one way to arrive: how selection acts through pregnancy
(Elsevier BV, 2013)When considering selective forces shaping human evolution, the importance of pregnancy to fitness should not be underestimated. Although specific mortality factors may only impact upon a fraction of the population, birth ... -
Many-Body Dynamics of Dipolar Molecules in an Optical Lattice
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)We use Ramsey spectroscopy to experimentally probe the quantum dynamics of disordered dipolar-interacting ultracold molecules in a partially filled optical lattice, and we compare the results to theory. We report the ... -
Many-Body Localization in Dipolar Systems
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)Systems of strongly interacting dipoles offer an attractive platform to study many-body localized phases, owing to their long coherence times and strong interactions. We explore conditions under which such localized phases ...
