Diffusion Monte Carlo Study of Para -Diiodobenzene Polymorphism Revisited
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2015)We revisit our investigation of the diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) simulation of p-DIB molecular crystal polymorphism. [J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2010, 1, 1789-1794] We perform, for the first time, a rigorous study of finite-size ... -
Diffusion of Lithium in Bulk Amorphous Silicon: A Theoretical Study
(American Chemical Society, 2012) -
Diffusion tensor imaging in acute-to-subacute traumatic brain injury: a longitudinal analysis
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) may have prognostic utility in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), but the optimal timing of DTI data acquisition is unknown because of dynamic changes in white matter ... -
Diffusion theory of spin injection through resistive contacts
(Springer Nature, 2002)Insertion of a resistive contact between a ferromagnetic metal and a semiconductor microstructure is of critical importance for achieving efficient spin injection into a semiconductor. However, the equations of the diffusion ... -
Diffusion-controlled optical elements for optofluidics

Diffusive limit of lattice gas with mixing conditions
(International Press of Boston, 1997)We prove, under certain mixing conditions, that the hydrodynamical limit of a stochastic lattice gas on the cubic lattice Z d is governed by a nonlinear diffusion equation. Following [VI], we characterize the diffusion ... -
Digital Instability of a Confined Elastic Meniscus
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013)Thin soft elastic layers serving as joints between relatively rigid bodies may function as sealants, thermal, electrical, or mechanical insulators, bearings, or adhesives. When such a joint is stressed, even though perfect ... -
Digital phenotyping of suicidal thoughts
(Wiley, 2018)Background: To examine whether there are subtypes of suicidal thinking using real-time digital monitoring, which allows for the measurement of such thoughts with greater temporal granularity than ever before possible. Methods: ... -
Digital Publishing: A Home for Faculty in the Library -- Exercises in Innovation from Harvard Law School
(2018-02-22)As libraries continue transforming through the digital age, we are faced with a familiar opportunity for renewal: the deepening of the faculty-library relationship -- this time in a digital framework. Instead of simply ... -
Digital Quantum Simulation of the Statistical Mechanics of a Frustrated Magnet
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)Many problems of interest in physics, chemistry and computer science are equivalent to problems defined on systems of interacting spins. However, most such problems require computational resources that are out of reach ... -
Digital RNA allelotyping reveals tissue-specific and allele-specific gene expression in human
(Nature Publishing Group, 2009)We developed a digital RNA allelotyping method for quantitatively interrogating allele-specific gene expression. This method involves ultra-deep sequencing of padlock captured SNPs from the transcriptome. We characterized ... -
Digital RNA Sequencing Minimizes Sequence-Dependent Bias and Amplification Noise with Optimized Single-Molecule Barcodes
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012)RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) is a powerful tool for transcriptome profiling, but is hampered by sequence-dependent bias and inaccuracy at low copy numbers intrinsic to exponential PCR amplification. We developed a simple ... -
Dignifying the Guerrillero, Not the Assassin: Rewriting a History of Criminal Subversion in Postwar Guatemala
(Duke University Press, 2012)This article examines an understudied aspect of Guatemala's Cold War counter-insurgency campaign: the concerted effort to destroy the seeds of oppositional thinking by criminalizing any and all forms of dissent, both during ... -
Dijet production in s√=7 TeV pp collisions with large rapidity gaps at the ATLAS experiment
(Elsevier BV, 2016)A 6.8 nb−1 sample of pp collision data collected under low-luminosity conditions at s√=7 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is used to study diffractive dijet production. Events containing at least two ... -
Dijet Searches for Supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider
(American Physical Society, 2008)We present several strategies for searching for supersymmetry in dijet channels that do not explicitly invoke missing energy. Preliminary investigations suggest that signal-to-background ratios of at least 4--5 should be ... -
Dilatant Strengthening as a Mechanism for Slow Slip Events
(American Geophysical Union, 2010)The mechanics of slow slip events (SSE) in subduction zones remain unresolved. We suggest that SSE nucleate in areas of unstable friction under drained conditions, but as slip accelerates dilatancy reduces pore pressure ... -
Dimensions of Liberal Self-Satisfaction: Civil Liberties, Liberal Theory, and Elite-Mass Differences

Dimer Models from Mirror Symmetry and Quivering Amoebae
(International Press, 2008)Dimer models are 2-dimensional combinatorial systems that have been shown to encode the gauge groups, matter content and tree-level super-potential of the world-volume quiver gauge theories obtained by placing D3-branes ... -
Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Exacerbates Cisplatin-induced Sensory Hair Cell Death in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Inner ear sensory hair cells die following exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics or chemotherapeutics like cisplatin, leading to permanent auditory and/or balance deficits in humans. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are used to ... -
Dimetrodon: Processor-level Preventive Thermal Management via Idle Cycle Injection
(ACM, 2011)Processor-level dynamic thermal management techniques have long targeted worst-case thermal margins. We examine the thermal-performance trade-offs in average-case, preventive thermal management by actively degrading ...
