Kinship Asymmetries and the Divided Self
(Cambridge University Press, 2008)Imprinted genes are predicted to affect interactions among relatives. Therefore, variant alleles at imprinted loci are promising candidates for playing a causal role in disorders of social behavior. The effects of imprinted ... -
Kirigami-inspired stents for sustained local delivery of therapeutics
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-06-14)Implantable drug depots have the capacity to locally meet therapeutic requirements by maximizing local drug efficacy and minimizing potential systemic side effects. Tubular organs including the gastrointestinal tract, ... -

The Kitaev–Feynman Clock for Open Quantum Systems
(IOP Publishing, 2014)We show that Kitaevʼs construction of Feynmanʼs clock, in which the time-evolution of a closed quantum system is encoded as a ground state problem, can be extended to open quantum systems. In our formalism, the ground ... -
The kitchen as a physics classroom
(IOP Publishing, 2014-09)Cooking is a tangible, familiar, and delicious tool for teaching physics, which is easy to implement in a university setting. Through our courses at Harvard and UCLA, each year we are engaging hundreds of undergraduate ... -
The Klein Quartic in Number Theory
(Cambridge University Press, 1999)We describe the Klein quartic <i>X</i> and highlight some of its remarkable properties that are of particular interest in number theory. These include extremal properties in characteristics 2, 3, and 7, the primes dividing ... -
Kleinian Groups and John Domains
(Elsevier, 1998)We characterize when John domains arise in the setting of Kleinian groups. -
Knife-Edge or Plateau: When Do Market Models Tip?
(MIT Press, 2003)This paper studies whether agents must agglomerate at a single location in a class of models of two-sided interaction. In these models there is an increasing returns effect that favors agglomeration, but also a crowding ... -
Knockdown Factors for Buckling of Cylindrical and Spherical Shells Subject to Reduced Biaxial Membrane Stress
(Elsevier, 2010)Cylindrical shells under uniaxial compression and spherical shells under equi-biaxial compression display the most extreme buckling sensitivity to imperfections. In engineering practice, the reduction of load carrying ... -
Knot invariants and topological strings
(Elsevier, 2000)We find further evidence for the conjecture relating large N Chern-Simons theory on S-3 with topological string on the resolved conifold geometry by showing that the Wilson loop observable of a simple knot on S-3 (for any ... -
Knots which Behave Like the Prime Numbers
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)This paper establishes a version of the Chebotarev density theorem in which number fields are replaced by 3-manifolds. -

Knowing one's future preferences: A correlated agent model with Bayesian updating
(SAGE Publications, 2013)We generalize two classes of statistical sequential incomplete information games: (1) those resembling typical signaling games, in which a single agent represents each player, allowing for information to be revealed about ... -
Knowledge Matters: Policy Cross-Pressures and Black Partisanship
(Springer Verlag, 2014)Black Americans are a core Democratic constituency, despite holding views on social issues that put them in conflict with the party. Conventional wisdom attributes this partisan commitment to the salience of race and ... -
Knowledge, Knowledge … Knowledge for My Economy
(KDI Journal of Economic Policy, 2015)The creation of S&T knowledge and development of S&T- based innovation has spread worldwide from traditionally advanced countries to traditionally developing countries, often under the direction of governments. Korea is ... -
Kondo Screening Cloud and the Charge Staircase in One-Dimensional Mesoscopic Devices
(American Physical Society, 2008)We propose that the finite size of the Kondo screening cloud, ξK , can be probed by measuring the charge quantization in a one-dimensional system coupled to a small quantum dot. When the chemical potential μ in the system ... -

Kramers pairs of Majorana fermions and parafermions in fractional topological insulators
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)We propose a scheme based on topological insulators to generate Kramers pairs of Majorana fermions or parafermions in the complete absence of magnetic fields. Our setup consists of two topological insulators whose edge ...
