    • Effects of Prosodic and Lexical Constraints on Parsing in Young Children (and Adults) 

      Snedeker, Jesse; Yuan, Sylvia (Elsevier, 2008)

      Climatic change is expected to have differential effects on ecological communities in different geographic areas. However, few studies have experimentally demonstrated the effects of warming on communities simultaneously ...

    • The Effects of Somatic Hypermutation on Neutralization and Binding in the PGT121 Family of Broadly Neutralizing HIV Antibodies 

      Sok, Devin; Laserson, Uri; Laserson, Jonathan; Liu, Yi; Vigneault, Francois; Julien, Jean-Philippe; Briney, Bryan; Ramos, Alejandra; Saye, Karen F.; Le, Khoa; Mahan, Alison; Wang, Shenshen; Kardar, Mehran; Yaari, Gur; Walker, Laura M.; Simen, Birgitte B.; St. John, Elizabeth P.; Chan-Hui, Po-Ying; Swiderek, Kristine; Kleinstein, Stephen H.; Alter, Galit; Seaman, Michael S.; Chakraborty, Arup K.; Koller, Daphne; Wilson, Ian A.; Church, George M.; Burton, Dennis R.; Poignard, Pascal (Public Library of Science, 2013)
      Broadly neutralizing HIV antibodies (bnAbs) are typically highly somatically mutated, raising doubts as to whether they can be elicited by vaccination. We used 454 sequencing and designed a novel phylogenetic method to ...

    • Effects of Subliminal Priming of Self and God on Self-Attribution of Authorship for Events 

      Dijksterhuis, Ap; Preston, Jesse; Wegner, Daniel; Aarts, Henk (Elsevier, 2008)
      Three studies investigated how subliminally primed thoughts of an agent prior to action can affect ascriptions of authorship for that action. Participants competed against a computer program to remove words from a computer ...

    • Effects of supermassive binary black holes on gravitational lenses 

      Li, Nan; Mao, Shude; Gao, Liang; Loeb, Abraham; Di Stefano, R. (Oxford University Press, 2012)
      Recent observations indicate that many, if not all, galaxies host massive central black holes (BHs). In this paper, we explore the influence of supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) on their actions as gravitational ...

    • The Effects of Surface Profile and Interface Correlations on X-Ray Reflectivity from Fluid Interfaces 

      Pershan, Peter S. (Institute of Physics, 1994)
      Following a brief review of the physics by which X-ray scattering can be made surface sensitive, we will discuss some details of the effects that interfacial roughness and asymmetry of interfacial profiles have on measurements ...

    • Effects of Taxes on Economic Behavior 

      Feldstein, Martin (National Tax Association, 2008)
      This paper discusses how the effects of taxes on economic behavior are important for revenue estimation, for calculating efficiency effects, and for understanding short-term macroeconomic consequences. The primary focus ...

    • Effects of the Distribution of Female Primates on the Number of Males 

      Carnes, Laurel Mariah; Nunn, Charles Lindsay; Lewis, Rebecca J. (Public Library of Science, 2011)
      The spatiotemporal distribution of females is thought to drive variation in mating systems, and hence plays a central role in understanding animal behavior, ecology and evolution. Previous research has focused on investigating ...

    • Effects of Thermal Roughness on X-ray Studies of Liquid Surfaces 

      Pershan, Peter S. (Elsevier, 2000)
      The effects of thermal roughness on X-ray studies of liquid surfaces will be discussed. In contrast to solid surfaces, for which the surface height–height correlation function remains finite at large distances, for liquid ...

    • The effects of trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the emotion-induced memory trade-off 

      Mickley Steinmetz, Katherine R.; Scott, Laurie A; Smith, David; Kensinger, Elizabeth A. (Frontiers Media S.A., 2012)
      Many past examinations of memory changes in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have focused on changes in memory for trauma. However, it is unclear if these mnemonic differences extend beyond the memory ...
