Persistent bacterial infections, antibiotic tolerance, and the oxidative stress response
(Landes Bioscience, 2013)Certain bacterial pathogens are able to evade the host immune system and persist within the human host. The consequences of persistent bacterial infections potentially include increased morbidity and mortality from the ... -
A persistent imbalance in HO x and NO x photochemistry of the upper troposphere driven by deep tropical convection
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1997)Convection in the tropics turns over the upper troposphere at rates (0.08 d−1) comparable to photochemical processes controlling the absolute abundance of HOx (OH + HO2) and the abundance of NOx (NO + NO2) relative to HNO3. ... -
Persistent Low-Level Replication of SIVΔnef Drives Maturation of Antibody and CD8 T Cell Responses to Induce Protective Immunity against Vaginal SIV Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Defining the correlates of immune protection conferred by SIVΔnef, the most effective vaccine against SIV challenge, could enable the design of a protective vaccine against HIV infection. Here we provide a comprehensive ... -
Person- and Place-Selective Neural Substrates for Entity-Specific Semantic Access
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013)Object-category has a pronounced effect on the representation of objects in higher level visual cortex. However, the influence of category on semantic/conceptual processes is less well characterized. In the present study, ... -
Personal Identity and the Unity of Agency: A Kantian Response to Parfit

Personalized change awareness: Reducing information overload in loosely-coupled teamwork
(Elsevier BV, 2019-10)Complex tasks such as treating patients with chronic conditions and developing software products are typically accomplished by teams that collaborate over an extended time duration. To remain coordinated, team members need ... -
Personalized Hitting Time for Informative Trust Mechanisms Despite Sybils
(ACM, 2016)Informative and scalable trust mechanisms that are robust to manipulation by strategic agents are a critical component of multi-agent systems. While the global hitting time mechanism (GHT) introduced by Hopcroft and Sheldon ... -
Personhood, Animals, and the Law
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2013)The idea that all the entities in the world may be, for legal and moral purposes, divided into the two categories of ‘persons’ and ‘things’ comes down to us from the tradition of Roman law. In the law, a ‘person’ is ... -
Persons and Things in Marseille and Lucca, 1300–1450
(Oxford University Press, 2020-05-07)In later medieval Europe, a rising tide of wealth changed the material regime and, with it, the relationships that defined the matrix of persons and things. Some of our best evidence for the changes afoot in the era can ... -

Perspective Access Networks
(2006)Perspective Access Networks provide an infrastructure from which users can specify the location from which they wish to view the Internet. The ability to specify location has become necessary as the Internet has become ... -
Perspectives on Proterozoic Surface Ocean Redox From Iodine Contents in Ancient and Recent Carbonate
(Elsevier, 2017-04)The Proterozoic Eon hosted the emergence and initial recorded diversification of eukaryotes. Oxygen levels in the shallow marine settings critical to these events were lower than today's, although how much lower is debated. ... -

Persuasion in Politics
(American Economic Association, 2004)We present a model of the creation of social networks, such as political parties, trade unions, religious coalitions, or political action committees, through discussion and mutual persuasion among their members. The key ... -
Perturbational profiling of a cell-line model of tumorigenesis by using metabolic measurements
(National Academy of Sciences, 2005)Weinberg and coworkers have used serial transduction of a human, primary fibroblast cell line with the catalytic domain of human telomerase, large T antigen, small T antigen, and an oncogenic allele of H-ras to study stages ... -
Perturbations, Deformations, and Variations (and "Near-Misses") in Geometry, Physics, and Number Theory

Perturbative analysis of gauged matrix models
(American Physical Society, 2003)We analyze perturbative aspects of gauged matrix models, including those where classically the gauge symmetry is partially broken. Ghost fields play a crucial role in the Feynman rules for these vacua. We use this formalism ... -
Perturbative computation of glueball superpotentials
(Elsevier, 2003)Using N = 1 superspace techniques in four dimensions we show how to perturbatively compute the superpotential generated for the glueball superfield upon integrating out massive charged fields. The technique applies to ...
