Metalinguistic, Shmetalinguistic: The Phonology of Shmreduplication
(Chicago Linguistic Society, 2003)This paper explores English shm- reduplication and aims to answer questions that have previously been left open on the subject. Results from an online survey show emerging patterns that have not been adequately addressed ... -
Metallic Hydrogen: The Most Powerful Rocket Fuel Yet To Exist
(Institute of Physics, 2010)Wigner and Huntington first predicted that pressures of order 25 GPa were required for the transition of solid molecular hydrogen to the atomic metallic phase. Later it was predicted that metallic hydrogen might be a ... -
Metallicity Differences in Type Ia Supernova Progenitors Inferred From Ultraviolet Spectra
(American Astronomical Society, 2013)Two "twin" Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), SNe 2011by and 2011fe, have extremely similar optical light-curve shapes, colors, and spectra, yet have different ultraviolet (UV) continua as measured in Hubble Space Telescope ... -
Metallicity in the Grb 100316d/sn 2010bh Host Complex
(IOP Publishing, 2011)The recent long-duration GRB 100316D, associated with supernova SN 2010bh and detected by Swift, is one of the nearest GRB-SNe ever observed (z = 0.059). This provides us with a unique opportunity to study the explosion ... -
The Metallicity of the Monoceros Stream
(IOP Publishing, 2012)We present low-resolution MMT Hectospec spectroscopy of 594 candidate Monoceros stream member stars. Based on strong color-magnitude diagram overdensities, we targeted three fields within the stream's footprint, with 178° ... -
Metal−Diboride Nanotubes as High-Capacity Hydrogen Storage Media
(American Chemical Society, 2007)We investigate the potential for hydrogen storage of a new class of nanomaterials, metal-diboride nanotubes. These materials have the merits of a high density of binding sites on the tubular surfaces without the adverse ... -
The Metamorphosis of Punishment in the Law of Nations
(2015-05-06)This dissertation examines the disappearance of punishment as a justification for interstate war in European political theory, and its rise as an individualized process applicable to what modern-day scholars call “war ... -
Metamorphosis of Sn 2014c: Delayed Interaction Between a Hydrogen Poor Core-Collapse Supernova and a Nearby Circumstellar Shell
(IOP Publishing, 2015)We present optical observations of supernova SN 2014C, which underwent an unprecedented slow metamorphosis from H-poor type Ib to H-rich type IIn over the course of one year. The observed spectroscopic evolution is consistent ... -

Metaphysically Reductive Causation
(Springer Science + Business Media, 2013)There are, by now, many rival, sophisticated philosophical accounts of causation that qualify as ‘metaphysically reductive’. A good thing: these collective efforts have vastly improved our understanding of causation over ... -
Metastatic pattern of uterine leiomyosarcoma: retrospective analysis of the predictors and outcome in 113 patients
(Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology; Korean Society of Gynecologic Oncology, 2014)Objective: To describe metastatic pattern of uterine leiomyosarcomas (ULMS) and correlate it with clinical and histopathologic parameters. Methods: We included 113 women (mean age, 53 years; range, 29 to 72 years) with ... -
Metasurface Diffraction Gratings for Arbitrary Polarization State Generation and Measurement
(2017-07-14)Metasurfaces, nano-structured arrays of phase-shifting elements, can sample phase functions at sub-wavelength scales. These novel devices hold the potential to replace bulky, conventional optics with ultra-thin devices ... -
Metasurface Optics for On-Demand Polarization Transformations Along the Optical Path
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-28)Polarization plays a key role in science; hence its versatile manipulation is crucial. Existing polarization optics, however, can only manipulate polarization in a single transverse plane. Here, we demonstrate a new class ... -
Metasurface-assisted phase-matching-free second harmonic generation in lithium niobate waveguides
(Springer Nature, 2017)The phase-matching condition is a key aspect in nonlinear wavelength conversion processes, which requires the momenta of the photons involved in the processes to be conserved. Conventionally, nonlinear phase matching is ... -
Metatranscriptomic Analysis of Sulfur Oxidation Genes in the Endosymbiont of Solemya Velum
(Frontiers Media SA, 2011)Thioautotrophic endosymbionts in the Domain Bacteria mediate key sulfur transformations in marine reducing environments. However, the molecular pathways underlying symbiont metabolism and the extent to which these pathways ...
