Declaraciones de independencia, 1776-2011. Del derecho natural al derecho internacional
(Colegio de Mexico, 2013) -
Declarative Policies for Capability Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014)In capability-safe languages, components can access a resource only if they possess a capability for that resource. As a result, a programmer can prevent an untrusted component from accessing a sensitive resource by ensuring ... -
The Decline and Rise of Coronary Heart Disease: Understanding Public Health Catastrophism
(American Public Health Association, 2013)The decline of coronary heart disease mortality in the United States and Western Europe is one of the great accomplishments of modern public health and medicine. Cardiologists and cardiovascular epidemiologists have devoted ... -
Decline in bulk deposition of air pollutants in China lags behind reductions in emissions
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-02-21) -
Decline of Violence: Taming the Devil Within Us
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)We are getting smarter, and as a result the world is becoming a more peaceful place, says Steven Pinker. -
The Decline of War and Conceptions of Human Nature
(Wiley, 2013)Many observers are skeptical of the evidence that war has declined, because they think that a decline in war requires an unrealistic, romantic theory of human nature. In fact it is compatible with a hardheaded view of human ... -
Declining (the) Subject: Immunity and the Crisis of Masculine Selfhood in Modern France (1870-2000)
(2013-08-21)I locate my dissertation at the critical intersection of philosophy, medical discourse and literature, and anchor it around five intertwining concepts: modernity, subjectivity, masculinity, immunity and Frenchness. I ... -
Decoding Regulatory T Cell Transcription Factor Networks: From Identity to Diversity
(2023-11-21)Foxp3+CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are dominant controllers of immunological and organismal homeostasis. Tregs play diverse functional roles in lymphoid tissues, where they can adopt specialized phenotypes in response ... -
Decoding Representations of Face Identity That are Tolerant to Rotation
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)In order to recognize the identity of a face we need to distinguish very similar images (specificity) while also generalizing identity information across image transformations such as changes in orientation (tolerance). ... -
Decoding the function of human variation
(2022-11-23)Gene regulation is fundamental to the identity and survival of every cell. While less than 2% of the human genome is dedicated to protein-coding sequence, at least 19% of the genome is associated with open chromatin or ... -
Decoding the H-likelihood
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2009) -
Decoding the precision of historical temperature observations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Historical observations of temperature underpin our ability to monitor Earth’s climate. We identify a pervasive issue in archived observations from surface stations, wherein the use of varying conventions for units and ... -
Decoherence Dynamics in Low-Dimensional Cold Atom Interferometers
(American Physical Society (APS), 2007)We report on a study of the dynamics of decoherence of a matter-wave interferometer, consisting of a pair of low-dimensional cold atom condensates at finite temperature. We identify two distinct regimes in the time dependence ... -
Decoherence imaging of spin ensembles using a scanning single-electron spin in diamond
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect center in diamond has demonstrated great capability for nanoscale magnetic sensing and imaging for both static and periodically modulated target fields. However, it remains a challenge to ... -
Decomposition of Olfactory Memory by Dopamine Neural Cirucit in Drosophila
(2017-05-12)During the formation of an olfactory memory in Drosophila, the Mushroom Body (MB) receives olfactory cues (Conditioned Stimuli, CS) relayed from the antennal lobe and aversive or reward stimuli (Unconditioned Stimuli; US) ... -
Deconfined criticality in bilayer graphene
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)We propose that bilayer graphene can provide an experimental realization of deconfined criticality. Current experiments indicate the presence of Néel order in the presence of a moderate magnetic field. The Néel order can ... -
Deconstructing Cell Intrinsic Immunity and Host-Pathogen Interactions Using Single-Cell Genomics
(2021-05-06)The outcome of infection by a virus or microorganism is determined by a complex set of interactions between host tissues and the virulence mechanisms of the invading agent. Among directly infected and bystander cells, the ... -
Deconstructing Disease
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 1986) -
Deconstructing the Brain Serotonergic System: A Transcriptomic Analysis of 5-HT Neurons Across Space and Time
(2021-09-13)Neurons that produce and release the monoamine serotonin (5-HT) are distributed across nine raphe nuclei of the brainstem and have a known role in a wide range of homeostatic and behavioral processes. While historically ... -
Deconstructing, Reconstructing, Preserving Paul E Meehl's Legacy of Construct Validity
(American Psychological Association, 2005)The question of the status of cause-and-effect explanations of human behavior that posit physically existing causative factors and those that, on the other hand, posit hypothetical entities in the form of "useful fictions" ...
