Reassessing “Toward a Theory of Race, Crime, and Urban Inequality”
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2018)In “Toward a Theory of Race, Crime, and Urban Inequality,” Sampson and Wilson (1995) argued that racial disparities in violent crime are attributable in large part to the persistent structural disadvantages that are ... -
A Reassessment of the Kinematics of PV Cephei Based on Accurate Proper Motion Measurements
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2010)We present two Very Large Array observations of the pre-main-sequence star PV Cephei, taken with a separation of 10.5 years. These data show that the proper motions of this star are \(\mu_{\alpha} = +10.9 \pm 3.0 \ mas \ ... -
Rebel Victory, State Power, and the Durability of Rebel Regimes
(2023-06-01)After victorious rebel groups seize power, they face formidable postwar challenges. Rebel victors inherit states shattered by war, and often confront new postwar armed opponents seeking to exploit state weakness and seize ... -
Rebuilding Nara’s Tōdaiji on the Foundations of the Chinese Pure Land: A Campaign for Buddhist Social Development
(2016-05-19)This dissertation considers how Chinese models of Buddhist social organization and Pure Land thought undergirded the Japanese monk Chōgen’s campaign to restore the Great Buddha of Tōdaiji, destroyed in the Gempei civil war ... -
RecA Homology Search is Promoted by Mechanical Stress Along the Scanned Duplex DNA
(Oxford University Press, 2011)A RecA–single-stranded DNA (RecA–ssDNA) filament searches a genome for sequence homology by rapidly binding and unbinding double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) until homology is found. We demonstrate that pulling on the opposite ... -
RecA-mediated sequence homology recognition as an example of how searching speed in self-assembly systems can be optimized by balancing entropic and enthalpic barriers
(American Physical Society, 2014)Ideally, self-assembly should rapidly and efficiently produce stable correctly assembled structures. We study the tradeoff between enthalpic and entropic cost in self-assembling systems using RecA-mediated homology search ... -
Recapitulating and Understanding Human Embryonic Axial Elongation and Neurulation
(2024-03-12)Embryonic development is a complex interplay between intercellular signaling, intracellular gene expression dynamics, and multicellular rearrangements. How cells in the embryo choose their fates and structure themselves ... -
Recapitulating maladaptive, multiscale remodeling of failing myocardium on a chip
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013)The lack of a robust pipeline of medical therapeutic agents for the treatment of heart disease may be partially attributed to the lack of in vitro models that recapitulate the essential structure–function relationships of ... -
Recapturing and trapping single molecules with a solid-state nanopore
(Nature Publishing Group, 2007)The development of solid state nanopores, inspired by their biological counterparts, shows great potential for the study of single macromolecules. Applications such as DNA sequencing and exploration of protein folding will ... -
Recency, Consistent Learning, and Nash Equilibrium
(National Academy of Sciences, 2014)We examine the long-term implication of two models of learning with recency bias: recursive weights and limited memory. We show that both models generate similar beliefs and that both have a weighted universal consistency ... -
Recency, Records and Recaps: Learning and Non-Equilibrium Behavior in a Simple Decision Problem
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014)Nash equilibrium takes optimization as a primitive, but suboptimal behavior can persist in simple stochastic decision problems. This has motivated the development of other equilibrium concepts such as cursed equilibrium ... -
Recent Advances in the Small Mammal Biochronology and Magnetostratigraphy of Lanzhou Basin
(SpringerOpen, 1999)The consensus view among geologists is that the Lanzhou Basin sequence of sediments contains the Oligocene/Miocene boundary, but where this occurs is unknown. Indeed, this is the crux of the issues concerning mid-Tertiary ... -
Recent advances in understanding schizophrenia
(Faculty of 1000 Ltd, 2014)Schizophrenia is a highly disabling disorder whose causes remain to be better understood, and treatments have to be improved. However, several recent advances have been made in diagnosis, etiopathology, and treatment. ... -
Recent Changes in Particulate Air Pollution over China Observed from Space and the Ground: Effectiveness of Emission Control
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)The Chinese government has moved aggressively since 2005 to reduce emissions of a number of pollutants including primary particulate matter (PM) and sulfur dioxide (SO2), efforts inadvertently aided since late 2008 by ...
