Phenotypic Heterogeneity and the Evolution of Bacterial Life Cycles
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Most bacteria live in colonies, where they often express different cell types. The ecological significance of these cell types and their evolutionary origin are often unknown. Here, we study the evolution of cell differentiation ... -
Phenotypic High-Throughput Screening to Identify Small-Molecule Inhibitors of Beta-Cell Glucolipotoxicity
(2022-06-06)The global type 2 diabetes (T2D) epidemic continues to grow and by 2045, it is estimated 780 million adults will live with the disease. T2D is characterized by progressive pancreatic b-cell failure and loss of b-cell mass ... -
Phenotypic Mutation Rates and the Abundance of Abnormal Proteins in Yeast
(Public Library of Science, 2007)Phenotypic mutations are errors that occur during protein synthesis. These errors lead to amino acid substitutions that give rise to abnormal proteins. Experiments suggest that such errors are quite common. We present a ... -
Phenotypic Variation and the Behavioral Ecology of Lizards
(2017-04-28)Behavioral ecology is the study of how animal behavior evolves in the context of ecology, thus melding, by definition, investigations of how social, ecological, and evolutionary forces shape phenotypic variation within and ... -
Philipp Frank and the Wiener Kreis: from Vienna to Exile in the USA
(Springer Nature America, Inc, 2017-09)Based on texts and personal recollections, the paper discusses the origins and roots of Philipp Frank’s philosophy of science as it was developed in Eastern Europe and later institutionalized in the United States. It takes ... -
Philipp Frank at Harvard University: His Work and His Influence
(Springer Nature, 2006-11)The physicist–philosopher Philipp Frank’s work and influence, especially during his last three decades, when he found a refuge and a position in America, deserve more discussion than has been the case so far. In what ... -
Phillips curve inflation forecasts

Philology of the Flesh: Benjamin's Collection and Kafka's Penal Colony
(Rutgers University Department of Germanic, Russian & East European Languages & Literatures, 2013) -
The Philosopher and the Chicken: On the Dietetics of Disembodied Knowledge

Philosophers in Parliament: The Crises of Eighteenth-Century Constitutionalism and the Nineteenth-Century Liberal Parliamentary Tradition
(2015-09-19)A crucial commitment of nineteenth-century French and English liberalism was to parliamentary government. Liberal authors including Benjamin Constant, John Stuart Mill, Francois Guizot, and Walter Bagehot all specifically ... -
A Philosophy for CNS Radiotracer Design
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Conspectus Decades after its discovery, positron emission tomography (PET) remains the premier tool for imaging neurochemistry in living humans. Technological improvements in radiolabeling methods, camera design, and image ... -
Philosophy in Any Language: Interaction between Arabic, Sanskrit, and Persian Intellectual Cultures in Mughal South Asia
(2014-02-25)This dissertation examines three contemporaneous religious philosophers active in early modern South Asia: Muhibb Allah Ilahabadi (d. 1648), Madhusudana Sarasvati (d. 1620-1647), and the Safavid philosopher, Mir Findiriski ... -
Phlegm (Tan 痰): Toward a History of Humors in Early Chinese Medicine
(2016-01-28)This dissertation examines the Chinese conception of phlegm and related body fluids phlegm from the first occurrence of phlegm in Zhang Zhongjing’s 張仲景 (fl. 150-219) Jingui yaolue金匱要略 through the first extended discussion ... -
Phonological Ambiguity: What UG Can and Can't do to Help the Reduplication Learner
(Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004) -
Phonological Evidence for Pāda Cohesion in Rigvedic Versification
(BRILL, 2018-04-04)We present new phonological evidence for the pāda-couplet as a Rigvedic compositional unit, e.g. ((ab)(cd)) in anuṣṭubh and ((ab)c) in gāyatrī. While these groupings are often implied by syntax and sense, phonological and ... -
Phonological Representations and the Variable Patterning of Glides
(Elsevier, 2008)We argue that the glides [j,w] are not just non-nuclear versions of vowels, but also bear a subsegmental difference, which we propose is due to a feature [±vocalic]. This representational difference is integrated into an ... -
Phonological weight
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)Grammars frequently categorize syllables for prosodic purposes, treating one class as heavier (e.g. more stress-attracting) than another. While such categorization is usually dichotomous, complex and gradient scales are ... -
Phonon cooling and lasing with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We investigate the strain-induced coupling between a nitrogen-vacancy impurity and a resonant vibrational mode of a diamond nanoresonator. We show that under near-resonant laser excitation of the electronic states of the ... -
Phonon-Induced Population Dynamics and Intersystem Crossing in Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers
(American Physical Society (APS), 2015)We report direct measurement of population dynamics in the excited state manifold of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. We quantify the phonon-induced mixing rate and demonstrate that it can be completely suppressed ... -
Phonon-Induced Spin-Spin Interactions in Diamond Nanostructures: Application to Spin Squeezing
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We propose and analyze a novel mechanism for long-range spin-spin interactions in diamond nanostructures. The interactions between electronic spins, associated with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, are mediated by ...
