A Modular Framework for Iterative Combinatorial Auctions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2008)We describe a modular elicitation framework for iterative combinatorial auctions. The framework includes proxy agents, each of which can adopt an individualized bidding language to represent partial value information of a ... -
A Modular Geometric Mechanism for Reorientation in Children
(Elsevier, 2010)Although disoriented young children reorient themselves in relation to the shape of the surrounding surface layout, cognitive accounts of this ability vary. The present paper tests three theories of reorientation: a ... -
A Modular Gradient-Sensing Network for Chemotaxis in Escherichia coli Revealed by Responses to Time-Varying Stimuli
(Nature Publishing Group, 2010)The Escherichia coli chemotaxis-signaling pathway computes time derivatives of chemoeffector concentrations. This network features modules for signal reception/amplification and robust adaptation, with sensing of chemoeffector ... -
Modular Robotic Systems for Interventional Endoscopy
(2018-05-08)Nascent endoscopic therapeutic procedures, such as endoscopic submucosal dissection, enable unparalleled access to and removal of mid-size cancerous neoplasia from within the gastrointestinal tract. However, the remote ... -
Modular Strategies for PET Imaging Agents
(Elsevier BV, 2010)In recent years, modular and simplified chemical and biological strategies have been developed for the synthesis and implementation of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. New developments in bioconjugation and ... -
A Modular Theory of Radical Pro Drop
(2014-06-06)Mandarin Chinese is said to be a radical pro-drop language, in the sense that verbal arguments in this language can be dropped rather freely. However, in this dissertation, I show that the omission of arguments in Mandarin ... -
Modularity in birdsong motor learning: delineating the role of the basal ganglia
(2014-10-21)Speech, writing, and tool-use are all prime examples of everyday learned motor skills that together with dance, music, and sports performance represent the full glory of human cultural expression afforded by dexterous ... -
A Modularity Lifting Theorem for Weight Two Hilbert Modular Forms
(International Press, 2006)We prove a modularity lifting theorem for potentially Barostti-Tate representations over totally real fields, generalising recent results of Kisin. -
Modularity of 2-Adic Barsotti-Tate Representations
(Springer Verlag, 2009)We prove a modularity lifting theorem for two dimensional, 2-adic, potentially Barsotti-Tate representations. This proves hypothesis (H) of Khare-Wintenberger, and completes the proof of Serre’s conjecture. The main new ... -
Modularity of Certain Potentially Barsotti-Tate Galois Representations
(American Mathematical Society, 1999)We show that certain potentially semistable lifts of modular modrepresentations are themselves modular. As a result we show that any elliptic curve over the rational numbers with conductor not divisible by 27 is modular. -
Modularity of some elliptic curves over totally real fields
(2014-06-06)In this thesis, we investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular j-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular ... -
Modulated Crystalline-B Phases in Liquid Crystals
(American Physical Society, 1987)Detailed x-ray scattering studies of the modulated phases of 4-n-heptyloxybenzylidene-4-n-heptylaniline (7O.7) are reported. In addition to the previously identified one-dimensional modulation that appears at the transition ... -
Modulated Nanowire Structures for Exploring New Nanoprocessor Architectures and Approaches to Biosensing
(2013-10-08)For the last decade, semiconducting nanowires synthesized by bottom-up methods have opened up new opportunities, stimulated innovative scientific research, and led to applications in materials science, electronics, optics, ... -
Modulating Proteostatic Stress in Human Motor Neurons to Identify Neuroprotective Targets
(2021-03-05)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a paralyzing and fatal motor neuron (MN) disease with few therapeutic options. The ability to produce MNs from ALS patients using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technologies and ... -
Modulating T cell Therapies with Biomaterials
(2022-06-06)Adoptive T cell therapy has shown remarkable promise in hematological cancers, but has seen limited efficacy in solid tumors. The efficacy of adoptive T cell therapy in solid tumors can be enhanced by developing strategies ... -
Modulating the Masked Congruence Priming Effect with the Hands and the Mouth
(American Psychological Association, 2008)The authors report a series of experiments in which they use the masked congruence priming paradigm to investigate the processing of masked primes in the manual and verbal response modalities. In the manual response modality, ... -
Modulation of B cell responses by previously elicited antibodies
(2022-11-23)The ability to generate humoral responses is a fundamental feature of adaptive immune system, and forms the basis of vaccine efficacy. Upon initial exposure to an antigen, B cells, the cellular source of antibodies, are ... -
Modulation of Flight Muscle Recruitment and Wing Rotation Enables Hummingbirds to Mitigate Aerial Roll Perturbations
(Elsevier BV, 2020-01)Both biological and artificial fliers must contend with aerial perturbations that are ubiquitous in the outdoor environment. Flapping fliers are generally least stable, but also the most maneuverable in roll, yet roll ... -
Modulation of magnetic behavior via ligand-field effects in the trigonal clusters (PhL)Fe3L*3 (L* = thf, py, PMe2Ph)
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2012)Utilizing a hexadentate ligand platform, a series of trinuclear iron clusters (PhL)Fe3L*3 (PhLH6 1⁄4 MeC (CH2NPh-o-NPh)3; L* 1⁄4 tetrahydrofuran (1), pyridine (2), PMePh2 (3)) has been prepared. The phenyl substituents on ... -
Modulation of mechanical resonance by chemical potential oscillation in graphene
(Springer Nature, 2015)The classical picture of the force on a capacitor assumes a large density of electronic states,such that the electrochemical potential of charges added to the capacitor is given by the external electrostatic potential and ...
