Organizing Violence
(SAGE Publications, 2002)In stateless societies, coercion is privately provided; violence is employed to engage in, and to defend against, predation. At best, violence results in mere redistribution; being destructive, it more often results in a ... -
Orientation-Specific Joining of AID-initiated DNA Breaks Promotes Antibody Class Switching
(2015)During B cell development, RAG endonuclease cleaves immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) V, D, and J gene segments and orchestrates their fusion as deletional events that assemble a V(D)J exon in the same transcriptional ... -
Orientiholes
(Springer, 2010)By T-dualizing space-filling D-branes in 4d IIB orientifold compactifications along the three non-internal spatial directions, we obtain black hole bound states living in a universe with a gauged spatial reflection symmetry. ... -
The Origin and Content of Expletives: Evidence from “Selection”
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)While expletive there has primarily been studied in the context of the existential construction, it has long been known that some but not all lexical verbs are compatible with there-insertion. This paper argues that ... -
Origin and Development of Language in South Asia: Phylogeny Versus Epigenetics?
(2012-04-12)This presentation begins with a brief overview of opinions on the origin of human language and the controversial question of Neanderthal speech. Moving from the language of the "African Eve" to the specific ones of the ... -
Origin and Examination of a Leafhopper Facultative Endosymbiont
(Springer-Verlag, 2011)Eukaryotes engage in intimate interactions with microbes that range in age and type of association. Although many conspicuous examples of ancient insect associates are studied (e.g., Buchneraaphidicola), fewer examples of ... -
Origin of a 'Southern Hemisphere' Geochemical Signature in the Arctic Upper Mantle
(Nature Publishing Group, 2008)The Gakkel ridge, which extends under the Arctic ice cap for similar to 1,800 km, is the slowest spreading ocean ridge on Earth. Its spreading created the Eurasian basin, which is isolated from the rest of the oceanic ... -
The Origin of Cultivation and Proto-Weeds, Long Before Neolithic Farming
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Weeds are currently present in a wide range of ecosystems worldwide. Although the beginning of their evolution is largely unknown, researchers assumed that they developed in tandem with cultivation since the appearance of ... -
Origin of de-swelling and dynamics of dense ionic microgel suspensions
(AIP Publishing, 2012)A direct consequence of the finite compressibility of a swollen microgel is that it can shrink and deform in response to an external perturbation. As a result, concentrated suspensions of these particles exhibit relaxation ... -
Origin of Enriched Ocean Ridge Basalts and Implications for Mantle Dynamics
(Elsevier, 2004)The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) south of the Kane Fracture Zone at similar to23degreesN (the MARK area) is distant from hot spots and a type area for "normal" mid-ocean ridge basalt (N-MORB) depleted in highly incompatible ... -
Origin of ozone and NO x in the tropical troposphere: A photochemical analysis of aircraft observations over the South Atlantic basin
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1996)The photochemistry of the troposphere over the South Atlantic basin is examined by modeling of aircraft observations up to 12-km altitude taken during the TRACE A expedition in September–October 1992. A close balance is ... -
Origin of quasar progenitors from the collapse of low-spin cosmological perturbations
(American Astronomical Society, 1995)We show that seeds for quasar black holes could have originated from the initial cosmological collapse of overdense regions with unusually small rotation. The gas in these rare regions collapses into a compact disk that ... -
Origin of spatial variation in US East Coast sea-level trends during 1900–2017
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-12)Identifying the causes of historical trends in relative sea level—the height of the sea surface relative to Earth’s crust—is a prerequisite for predicting future changes. Rates of change along the eastern coast of the USA ... -
Origin of Spiders and Their Spinning Organs Illuminated by Mid-Cretaceous Amber Fossils
(Springer Nature, 2018-02-05)Understanding the genealogical relationships among the arachnid orders is an onerous task, but fossils have aided in anchoring some branches of the arachnid tree of life. The discovery of Palaeozoic fossils with characters ... -
The Origin of the Celtic Comparative Type OIr Tressa, MW Trech 'Stronger'
(Harrassowitz Verlag, 1991) -
The Origin of the Good and Our Animal Nature
(2020)We use the term “good” in two contexts: as the most general term of evaluation, and to refer to the final ends of life and action. I start from the question what evaluative and final goodness have to do with each other. ... -
The Origin of the Italic Imperfect Subjunctive
(Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1991) -
The Origin of the Latin Gerund and Gerundive: A New Proposal

Origin of the self-limited electron densities at Al2O3/SrTiO3 heterostructures grown by atomic layer deposition – oxygen diffusion model
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2013)Recently, 2-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) was discovered at the interface of Al2O3/SrTiO3 (STO) heterostructures, in which the amorphous Al2O3 layers were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The saturated electron ... -
Origin of the Soft Excess in X‐Ray Pulsars
(American Astronomical Society, 2004)The spectra of many X-ray pulsars show, in addition to a power law, a low-energy component that has often been modeled as a blackbody with kT(BB) similar to 0.1 keV. However, the physical origin of this soft excess has ...
