Decays of a leptophobic gauge boson
(Elsevier BV, 1996)We discuss the theory and phenomenology of decays of a leptophobic U(1) X gauge boson X, such as has been proposed to explain the alleged deviations of R b and R c from standard model predictions. If the scalars involved ... -
Decays of l =1 baryons: Quark model versus large N c

A Decentralized Auction Framework to Promote Efficient Resource Allocation in Open Computational Grids
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007)Computational grids enable the sharing, aggregation, and selection of (geographically distributed) computational resources and can be used for solving large scale and data intensive computing applications. Computational ... -
Decentralized Robustness
Robustness links confidentiality and integrity properties of a computing system and has been identified as a useful property for characterizing and enforcing security. Previ- ous characterizations of robustness have been ... -
Decentralized, Adaptive Resource Allocation for Sensor Networks
(USENIX, 2005)This paper addresses the problem of resource allocation in sensor networks. We are concerned with how to allocate limited energy, radio bandwidth, and other resources to maximize the value of each node's contribution to ... -
Decimetre-scale multicellular eukaryotes from the 1.56-billion-year-old Gaoyuzhuang Formation in North China
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Fossils of macroscopic eukaryotes are rarely older than the Ediacaran Period (635–541 million years (Myr)), and their interpretation remains controversial. Here, we report the discovery of macroscopic fossils from the ... -
Deciphering Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: What Phenotype, Neuropathology and Genetics Are Telling Us about Pathogenesis
(Informa, 2013)Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized phenotypically by progressive weakness and neuropathologically by loss of motor neurons. Phenotypically, there is marked heterogeneity. Typical ALS has mixed upper motor ... -
Deciphering Radical Transport in the Large Subunit of Class I Ribonucleotide Reductase
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)Incorporation of 2,3,6-trifluorotyrosine (F3Y) and a rhenium bipyridine ([Re]) photooxidant into a peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of the β protein (βC19) of Escherichia coli ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) allows ... -
Deciphering the biological functions of F-box proteins through the use of Parallel Adaptor Capture (PAC) proteomics.
(2013-10-18)The timely and selective proteasomal degradation of proteins is important for the maintenance of proper cellular processes. Prior to proteasomal degradation, proteins destined for degradation are polyubiquitiylated by ... -
Deciphering the Biological Mechanisms Driving the Phenotype of Interest
(2013-03-15)The two key concepts of Neo-Darwinian evolution theory are genotype and phenotype. Genotype is defined as the genetic constitution of an organism and phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of that organism. ... -
Deciphering the MSSM Higgs Mass at Future Hadron Colliders
(Springer Nature, 2017-06)Future hadron colliders will have a remarkable capacity to discover massive new particles, but their capabilities for precision measurements of couplings that can reveal underlying mechanisms have received less study. In ... -
Deciphering Top Flavor Violation at the LHC with B Factories
(American Physical Society, 2008)The LHC will have unprecedented sensitivity to flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) top quark decays, whose observation would be a clear sign of physics beyond the standard model. Although many details of top flavor ... -
Decision Making for Medical Innovations
(2014-06-06)The objective of this dissertation is to evaluate decision making related to medical innovations. -
Decision Making, Behavioral Development and Fine Motor Control In Larval Zebrafish
(2023-05-02)All organisms need to make decisions after processing sensory inputs. The drift-diffusion model accurately captures average responses observed in the optomotor response of larval zebrafish but fails to capture the structure ... -
Decision Markets with Good Incentives
(Springer Verlag, 2011)Decision markets both predict and decide the future. They allow experts to predict the effects of each of a set of possible actions, and after reviewing these predictions a decision maker selects an action to perform. ... -
Decision Modeling to Inform Resource Prioritization: Methods and Applications
(2022-05-13)This dissertation is comprised of three chapters where I investigated the following policy and methodological questions in health decision science: the potential value of improvement in acute stroke quality measures in the ... -
Decision Support Issues in Central and Eastern Europe
(Routledge, 2016-08-30)Universities in Central and Eastern Europe are caught between enforced data reporting (because the governments want them to account for their activities and performance) and institutional research for strategic development ... -
A decision theory for imprecise probabilities
(University of Michigan, 2015)Those who model doxastic states with a set of probability functions, rather than a single function, face a pressing challenge: can they provide a plausible decision theory compatible with their view? Adam Elga (2010) and ... -
Decision-Making in Research Tasks with Sequential Testing
(Public Library of Science, 2009)Background: In a recent controversial essay, published by JPA Ioannidis in PLoS Medicine, it has been argued that in some research fields, most of the published findings are false. Based on theoretical reasoning it can be ... -
