Kinked p–n Junction Nanowire Probes for High Spatial Resolution Sensing and Intracellular Recording
(American Chemical Society, 2012)Semiconductor nanowires and other semiconducting nanoscale materials configured as field-effect transistors have been studied extensively as biological/chemical (bio/chem) sensors. These nanomaterials have demonstrated ... -
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, ... -
Kirill Borisovich Tolpygo: Teacher, Advisor and Scientist

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. -
Knots, links and branes at large N

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 ... -
