Mild Conditions for the Removal of Acid-Labile Protective Groups
(Elvesier, 1988)Hydrogen peroxide-trichloroacetic acid is an effective reagent combination for the mild cleavage of acid-labile protective groups. -
Militarism, Civilianism, and the Normative Theory of Democratic Civil-Military Relations
(2023-03-14)How should the normative commitments entailed by liberal-democracy inform the choices that must be made regarding the military as an institution? This dissertation argues that liberal-democratic civil-military relations ... -
Milk bioactives may manipulate microbes to mediate parent–offspring conflict
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Among mammals, milk constituents directly influence the ecology of the infant’s commensal microbiota. The immunological and nutritional impacts of breast milk and microbiota are increasingly well understood; less clear are ... -
The Milky Way Project: Leveraging Citizen Science and Machine Learning to Detect Interstellar Bubbles
(IOP Publishing, 2014)We present Brut, an algorithm to identify bubbles in infrared images of the Galactic midplane. Brut is based on the Random Forest algorithm, and uses bubbles identified by >35,000 citizen scientists from the Milky Way ... -
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS. I. Stellar Number Density Distribution
(IOP Publishing, 2008)Using the photometric parallax method we estimate the distances to ~48 million stars detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and map their three-dimensional number density distribution in the Galaxy. The currently ... -
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS. II. Stellar Metallicity
(IOP Publishing, 2008)Using effective temperature and metallicity derived from SDSS spectra for ~60,000 F- and G-type main-sequence stars (0.2 < g − r < 0.6), we develop polynomial models for estimating these parameters from the SDSS u − g and ... -
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS. III. Stellar Kinematics
(IOP Publishing, 2010)We study Milky Way kinematics using a sample of 18.8 million main-sequence stars with r < 20 and proper-motion measurements derived from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and POSS astrometry, including ~170,000 stars with ... -
Mill, Method, and the Art of Life
(2016-05-10)For Mill, the Art of Life requires one to find the appropriate quasi-Platonic balance between Morality, Nobility, and Prudence. In consequence, his Art of Life could fail in any of three ways, corresponding to the assignment ... -
Millimeter Studies of Nearby Debris Disks
(2017-05-10)At least 20% of nearby main sequence stars are known to be surrounded by disks of dusty material resulting from the collisional erosion of planetesimals, similar to asteroids and comets in our own Solar System. The material ... -
Millimeter-Scale Contact Printing of Aqueous Solutions Using a Stamp Made Out of Paper and Tape
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2010)This communication describes a simple method for printing aqueous solutions with millimeter-scale patterns on a variety of substrates using an easily fabricated, paper-based microfluidic device (a paper-based “stamp”) as ... -
Millimeter-Wave Field Experiments with Many Antenna Configurations for Indoor Multipath Environments
(IEEE, 2017-12)Next-generation wireless networks, such as 5G networks, will use millimeter waves (mmWaves) operating at 28 GHz, 38 GHz, 60 GHz, or higher frequencies to deliver unprecedentedly high data rates, e.g., 10 gigabits per second. ... -
A Millimeter-wave Galactic Plane Survey with the BICEP Polarimeter
(IOP Publishing, 2011)In order to study inflationary cosmology and the Milky Way Galaxy's composition and magnetic field structure, Stokes I, Q, and U maps of the Galactic plane covering the Galactic longitude range 260? < ? < 340? in three ... -
Millimeter/submillimeter Observations of Chemical and Physical Complexity in Protoplanetary Disks
(2018-05-13)Dust and gas rich protoplanetary disks are the formation sites of planets, and are virtually ubiquitous around young (<1 Myr) stars. Understanding these environments is crucial to determining future exoplanet compositions, ... -
Millisecond Magnetar Birth Connects FRB 121102 to Superluminous Supernovae and Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
(American Astronomical Society, 2017)Subarcsecond localization of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 revealed its coincidence with a dwarf host galaxy and a steady ("quiescent") nonthermal radio source. We show that the properties of the host galaxy ... -
The Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2013)This essay provides a brief historical sketch of the Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature and describes recent efforts to provide electronic access to the contents of the archive. It concludes with thoughts about ... -
Milton and Music
(2015-05-04)The young John Milton grew up in a musical household, and there is biographical evidence that his youthful passion for music only deepened over the years. My dissertation is not, however, concerned with biography. Instead, ... -
Milton and Sound
(2020-10-01)Milton and Sound offers a study of the role played by sound in the writings of English poet and pamphleteer John Milton (1608-1674). Pushing against the mimetic function typically assigned to sound effects in verse following ... -
"The Mind is Its Own Place": Science and Solitude in Seventeenth-Century England
(Cambridge University Press, 1991) -
Mind over matter: Reappraising arousal improves cardiovascular and cognitive responses to stress.
(American Psychological Association (APA), 2012)Researchers have theorized that changing the way we think about our bodily responses can improve our physiological and cognitive reactions to stressful events. However, the underlying processes through which mental states ...
