Museums and Philosophy--Of Art, and Many Other Things. Part 2.
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)This two-part article examines the very limited engagement by philosophers with museums, and proposes analysis under six headings: cultural variety, taxonomy, and epistemology in Part I, and teleology, ethics, and therapeutics ... -
Music in the Home: New Evidence for an Intergenerational Link
(SAGE Publications, 2014)This study had three goals: (1) to investigate the potential connection between music experiences in early childhood and later music making as a parent, (2) to report the frequency of music making in a sample of American ... -
Music of the Ethiopian American Diaspora: A Preliminary Overview
(Harrassowitz Verlag, 2009)Since the inception of the Ethiopian revolution in the mid-1970's, the forced migration of large numbers of Ethiopians has resulted in the establishment of new permanent communities of Ethiopians in the United States. This ... -
Music-Historical Egyptomania, 1650–1950
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014)Starting with Athanasius Kircher in the seventeenth century, it became de rigueur for music histories to include a discussion of Ancient Egypt’s musical contribution. This is striking, considering that no notated sources ... -
Musical Communities: Rethinking the Collective in Music
(University of California Press on behalf of the American Musicological Society, 2011)This essay discusses the study of musical communities, taking as its point of departure the growing avoidance of the term “community” within much of recent musical scholarship. After exploring factors that have been ... -

Mutant Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Recapitulate Aspects of TDP-43 Proteinopathies and Reveal Specific Vulnerability
(National Academy of Sciences, 2012)Transactive response DNA-binding (TDP-43) protein is the dominant disease protein in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a sub-group of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP). Identification of TARDBP mutations ... -
Mutation Induced Extinction in Finite Populations: Lethal Mutagenesis and Lethal Isolation
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Reproduction is inherently risky, in part because genomic replication can introduce new mutations that are usually deleterious toward fitness. This risk is especially severe for organisms whose genomes replicate ... -
Mutation-Selection Equilibrium in Games with Multiple Strategies
(Elsevier, 2009)In evolutionary games the fitness of individuals is not constant but depends on the relative abundance of the various strategies in the population. Here we study general games among n strategies in populations of large but ... -
Mutations driving CLL and their evolution in progression and relapse
(2015)SUMMARY Which genetic alterations drive tumorigenesis and how they evolve over the course of disease and therapy are central questions in cancer biology. We identify 44 recurrently mutated genes and 11 recurrent somatic ... -
Mutations That Stimulate flhDC Expression in Escherichia coli K-12
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015)Motility is a beneficial attribute that enables cells to access and explore new environments and to escape detrimental ones. The organelle of motility in Escherichia coli is the flagellum, and its production is initiated ... -
Mutual Exclusivity in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Testing the Pragmatic Hypothesis
(Elsevier, 2010)While there is ample evidence that children treat words as mutually exclusive, the cognitive basis of this bias is widely debated. We focus on the distinction between pragmatic and lexical constraints accounts. High-functioning ... -
Mutual Influence Potential Networks: Enabling Information Sharing in Loosely-Coupled Extended-Duration Teamwork
(2016)Complex collaborative activities such as treating patients, co-authoring documents and developing software are often characterized by teamwork that is loosely coupled and extends in time. To remain coordinated and avoid ... -
Mutual Optimism as a Cause of Conflict: Secret Alliances and Conflict Onset
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)A prominent theory in International Relations posits that mutual optimism, due to two sides holding divergent estimates of their relative bargaining power, causes interstate conflict. This paper develops a theory of mutual ... -
Mutualism or Parasitism? Using a Phylogenetic Approach to Characterize the Oxpecker-Ungulate Relationship
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)With their striking predilection for perching on African ungulates and eating their ticks, yellow-billed (Buphagus africanus) and red-billed oxpeckers (B. erythrorhynchus) represent one of the few potentially mutualistic ... -
Mutualistic interaction between Salmonella enterica and Aspergillus niger and its effects on Zea mays colonization
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2014)Salmonella Typhimurium inhabits a variety of environments and is able to infect a broad range of hosts. Throughout its life cycle, some hosts can act as intermediates in the path to the infection of others. Aspergillus ... -
MYB-QKI rearrangements in Angiocentric Glioma drive tumorigenicity through a tripartite mechanism
(2016)Angiocentric gliomas are pediatric low-grade gliomas (PLGGs) without known recurrent genetic drivers. We performed genomic analysis of new and published data from 249 PLGGs including 19 Angiocentric Gliomas. We identified ... -

Myeloid Clusters Are Associated with a Pro-Metastatic Environment and Poor Prognosis in Smoking-Related Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: This study aimed to understand the role of myeloid cell clusters in uninvolved regional lymph nodes from early stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. Methods: Uninvolved regional lymph node sections from ...
