Ordering the Cosmos: An Analysis of Religion and Society as Portrayed in the Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa
(2017-05-13)This dissertation focuses on one of ancient India's most fascinating and unique pre-Hindu religious commentaries. The Jaiminīya Brāhmaṇa was composed circa 800 BCE and remains one of the most intriguing texts of its type. ... -
Ordering the World: The Scientist and the Search for German Identity in Literature
(2023-05-12)Having only unified in 1871, German narratives of national identity are beset by questions of what role the idea of “Germany” could possibly play in a global context dominated by its more established European neighbors. A ... -
Ordinal Outcome Prediction and Treatment Selection in Personalized Medicine
(2015-05-06)In personalized medicine, two important tasks are predicting disease risk and selecting appropriate treatments for individuals based on their baseline information. The dissertation focuses on providing improved risk ... -
Ordinary Economic Voting Behavior in the Extraordinary Election of Adolf Hitler
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)The enormous Nazi voting literature rarely builds on modern statistical or economic research. By adding these approaches, we find that the most widely accepted existing theories of this era cannot distinguish the Weimar ... -
The ordinary nature of alien abduction memories
(Informa UK Limited, 1996) -
Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things: Responses to Stigmatization in Comparative Perspective
(Routledge, 2012)This special issue offers a first systematic qualitative cross-national exploration of how diverse minority groups respond to stigmatization in a wide variety of contexts. This research is the culmination of a coordinated ... -
Orestes in Skopje: The Macedonian Oresteia of Milcho Manchevski

Organ Allocation Policy and the Decision to Donate
(American Economic Association, 2012-08)Organ donations from deceased donors provide the majority of transplanted organs in the United States, and one deceased donor can save numerous lives by providing multiple organs. Nevertheless, most Americans are not ... -
Organ Size Control via Hydraulically Gated Oscillations
(The Company of Biologists, 2017)Hollow vesicular tissues of various sizes and shapes arise in biological organs such as ears, guts, hearts, brains and even entire organisms. Regulating their size and shape is crucial for their function. Although chemical ... -
Organelle Tracking in a Living Cell with Microsecond Time Resolution and Nanometer Spatial Precision
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008) -
Organelle-associated innate immune responses to self-DNA in mammals
(2022-06-28)Since early in evolution, mammalian cells have been equipped with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that detect the presence of pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMPs) or damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMPs) ... -
Organic Chemical Differentiation Within Fossil Plant Cell Walls Detected with X-ray Spectromicroscopy
(Geological Society of America, 2002)Organic matter preserved in cell walls of permineralized plant fossils was analyzed by using scanning transmission X-ray microscopy and spectroscopy at energies near the 1<i>s</i> absorption edge of carbon. Microchemical ... -
Organic Chemistry During Low-Mass Star-Formation: The Role of Reaction Barriers and Ice Desorption
(2017-05-11)Organic molecules are present throughout all stages of star-formation, potentially being incorporated into the planetesimals that are later formed. These species serve as the molecular backbone of prebiotic chemistry, and ... -
Organic Field Effect Transistors Based on Graphene and Hexagonal Boron Nitride Heterostructures
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)Enhancing the device performance of single crystal organic field effect transistors (OFETs) requires both optimized engineering of efficient injection of the carriers through the contact and improvement of the dielectric ... -
Organic liquid-crystal devices based on ionic conductors
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2017)A fully organic liquid-crystal device is enabled by ionic conductors. The device uses a liquid crystal as voltage-driven light shutter, an elastomer as transparent dielectric, and a hydrogel as transparent conductor. A ... -
Organic Molecule-based Electrolyte Materials for Aqueous Redox Flow Battery
(2017-08-31)Solar and wind energies have been growing so fast that in many regions around the world they have become the cheapest source for electricity production. Nevertheless, as we rely increasingly on solar and wind energies, one ... -
Organic Molecules for High Performance Aqueous Redox Flow Battery and Electrochemically-Mediated Carbon Capture
(2022-07-28)CO2 emission primarily from fossil fuel combustion is causing climate change at an alarming rate. Consequently, there are increasing efforts worldwide to reduce societal reliance on fossil fuel-based energy and to switch ... -
Organic nitrate chemistry and its implications for nitrogen budgets in an isoprene- and monoterpene-rich atmosphere: constraints from aircraft (SEAC<sup>4</sup>RS) and ground-based (SOAS) observations in the Southeast US
(European Geosciences Union, 2016)Formation of organic nitrates (RONO2) during oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs: isoprene, monoterpenes) is a significant loss pathway for atmospheric nitrogen oxide radicals (NOx), but the chemistry ... -
Organic synthesis toward small-molecule probes and drugs
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011)“Organic synthesis” is a compound-creating activity often focused on biologically active small molecules. This special issue of PNAS explores innovations and trends in the field that are enabling the synthesis of new types ... -
Organic-Matter Loading Determines Regime Shifts and Alternative States in an Aquatic Ecosystem
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013)Slow changes in underlying state variables can lead to “tipping points,” rapid transitions between alternative states (“regime shifts”) in a wide range of complex systems. Tipping points and regime shifts routinely are ...
