The Dynamics of Stress in Female Chimpanzees: Interactions of Social and Ecological Factors
(John Wiley & Sons, 2009)Cortisol, as a biomarker of the generalized adaptive stress response, can provide critical information on the physiological effects of behavior. However, group-living animals face multiple interacting stressors from their ... -
Dynamics of Surfactant-Driven Fracture of Particle Rafts
(American Physical Society, 2006)We investigate the dynamic fracture of a close-packed monolayer of particles, or particle raft, floating at a liquid-gas interface induced by the localized addition of surfactant. Unusually for a two-dimensional solid, our ... -
Dynamics of the Gender Gap for Young Professionals in the Financial and Corporate Sectors
(American Economic Association, 2010)The careers of MBAs from a top US business school are studied to understand how career dynamics differ by gender. Although male and female MBAs have nearly identical earnings at the outset of their careers, their earnings ... -
Dynamics of the global meridional ice flow of Europa’s icy shell
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-12-04) -
Dynamics of the Magellanic Clouds in a Lambda cold dark matter universe
(Oxford University Press, 2011)We examine Milky Way-Magellanic Cloud systems selected from the Millennium-II Simulation in order to place the orbits of the Magellanic Clouds in a cosmological context. Our analysis shows that satellites massive enough ... -
Dynamics of the Microbiota in Response to Host Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Longitudinal studies of the microbiota are important for discovering changes in microbial communities that affect the host. The complexity of these ecosystems requires rigorous integrated experimental and computational ... -
Dynamics of the Photogenerated Hole at the Rutile TiO 2 (110)/Water Interface: A Nonadiabatic Simulation Study
(American Chemical Society, 2014) -
Dynamics of the Transition from a Thin Accretion Disk to an Advection‐dominated Accretion Flow
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)We consider an optically thin advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) that is connected at a finite transition radius to an outer optically thick, geometrically thin disk. We include turbulent energy transport and examine ... -
Dynamics on Algebraic Surfaces
(Max-Planck Institut, 2007) -
Dynamics on Blowups of the Projective Plane
(Springer Berlin / Heidelberg, 2007) -
Dynamics on K3 Surfaces: Salem Numbers and Siegel Disks
(Walter de Gruyter, 2002)This paper presents the first examples of K3 surface automorphisms \(f : X \rightarrow X\) with Siegel disks (domains on which f acts by an irrational rotation). The set of such examples is countable, and the surface \(X\) ... -
Dynamics on the Unit Disk: Short Geodesics and Simple Cycles
(European Mathematical Society, 2010) -
Dynamics, Brandom-style
(Springer Verlag, 2011)This paper discusses the semantic theory presented in Robert Brandom’s Making It Explicit . I argue that it is best understood as a special version of dynamic semantics, so that these semantics by themselves offer an ... -
Dysfunctional Congress?

Dyson: An Architecture for Extensible Wireless LANs
(2009)As wireless local area networks (WLANs) continue to evolve. the fundamental division of responsibility between the access point (AP) and the client has remained unchanged. In most cases, clients make independent decisions ... -
Dystrophin Is a Tumor Suppressor in Human Cancers with Myogenic Programs
(2014)Many common human mesenchymal tumors, including gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), and leiomyosarcoma (LMS), feature myogenic differentiation1–3. Here we report that intragenic deletion of the ... -
E-Readers Are More Effective than Paper for Some with Dyslexia
(Public Library of Science, 2013)E-readers are fast rivaling print as a dominant method for reading. Because they offer accessibility options that are impossible in print, they are potentially beneficial for those with impairments, such as dyslexia. Yet, ... -
E-resources in the US university library: Harvard’s case under the pandemic
(J-Stage, 2021)Due to the pandemic, Harvard University swiftly switched its instruction from in-person to remote in the middle of March 2020. The online instruction continues through the fall semester. Providing online resources have ... -
E-strings and N = 4 topological Yang-Mills theories
(Elsevier, 1998)We study certain properties of six-dimensional tensionless E-strings (arising from zero size E-8 instantons). In particular we show that n E-strings form a bound string which carries an E-8 level-n current algebra as well ... -
