Did the States Pocket the Obama Stimulus Money: Lessons from Cross-Section Regression and Interviews with State Officials
(University of Massachusetts Amherst, 2015)This paper deploys cross-section regressions and open-ended interviews to assess the impact of grants to the states under the Obama stimulus (ARRA) of 2009-2011. Contrary to John Taylor and John Cogan (Taylor 2011a, b; ... -
Did Wages Reflect Growth in Productivity?
(Elsevier, 2008)The level of productivity doubled in the U.S. nonfarm business sector between 1970 and 2006. Wages, or more accurately total compensation per hour, increased at approximately the same annual rate during that period if ... -

Die poetische Struktur des Unbewussten Zur Verdichtung des psychologischen Vokabulars im langen 19. Jahrhundert
(2023-11-21)The following dissertation explores the evolution and transformation of psychological language and discourse throughout the long 19th century. The term "Verdichtung" stands central to the investigation, capturing dual ... -
Die Spontaneität des Verstandes bei Kant und einigen Neokantianern
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2015)Kant famously characterizes our human understanding as a “spontaneous” faculty, but what can this mean? I criticize some recent interpretations of Kant’s claim and suggest that we can only understand what Kant means by ... -

Dielectric elastomer actuators under equal-biaxial forces, uniaxial forces, and uniaxial constraint of stiff fibers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012)A membrane of a dielectric elastomer deforms when a voltage is applied through its thickness. The achievable voltage-induced deformation is strongly affected by how mechanical loads are applied. Large voltage-induced ... -

Dielectric elastomer generator with equi-biaxial mechanical loading for energy harvesting
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2013)Dielectric elastomer generators (DEGs) are attractive candidates for harvesting electrical energy from mechanical work since they comprise relatively few moving parts and large elastomer sheets can be mass produced. ... -
Dielectric elastomers of interpenetrating networks
(AIP Publishing, 2009)Recent experiments have shown that a voltage can induce a large deformation in an elastomer of interpenetrating networks. To understand the observation, this paper describes a model of interpenetrating networks of long and ... -

(2013)Long-term diet influences the structure and activity of the trillions of microorganisms residing in the human gut1–5, but it remains unclear how rapidly and reproducibly the human gut microbiome responds to short-term ... -
DIET, LIFESTYLE, AND CANCER: FROM PREVENTION TO SURVIVAL
(2022-11-23)According to the American Cancer Society, at least 42% of newly diagnosed cancers in the US in 2022 could potentially be prevented, including the 18% of all cancers caused by obesity, alcohol intake, poor nutrition, and ... -
Diet, Metabolomics, and Colorectal Cancer Risk
(2021-07-12)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in 2020 globally. In the United States, although the estimated 2021 CRC incidence only ranks fourth among all cancers, ...
