    • The Dynamics of Capitalism 

      Scherer, Frederic Michael (John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, 2010)
      This paper, written for a larger compendium edited by Dennis Mueller, examines key dynamic features of capitalistic economies and how prominent economists such as Schumpeter, Marx, Keynes, and von Mises perceived them. The ...

    • Dynamics of Carbon, Biomass, and Structure in Two Amazonian Forests 

      Pyle, Elizabeth Hammond; Santoni, Gregory Winn; Nascimento, Henrique E. M.; Hutyra, Lucy R.; Vieira, Simone; Curran, Daniel J.; van Haren, Joost; Saleska, Scott R.; Chow, Victoria Ye; Carmago, Plinio B.; Laurance, William; Wofsy, Steven C. (American Geophysical Union, 2008)
      Amazon forests are potentially globally significant sources or sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide. In this study, we characterize the spatial trends in carbon storage and fluxes in both live and dead biomass (necromass) ...

    • Dynamics of Charged Colloids in Nonpolar Solvents 

      Lin, Tina (2013-09-04)
      Charging is typically not expected in nonpolar environments due to a high electrostatic barrier to charge dissociation. Nevertheless, charge effects are observed in such environments upon the addition of surfactants, which ...

    • Dynamics of Convectively Driven Banded Jets in the Laboratory 

      Read, Peter L.; Yamazaki, Yasuhiro H.; Lewis, Stephen R.; Williams, Paul D.; Wordsworth, Robin; Miki-Yamazaki, Kuniko; Sommeria, Joël; Didelle, Henri (American Meteorological Society, 2007)
      The banded organization of clouds and zonal winds in the atmospheres of the outer planets has long fascinated observers. Several recent studies in the theory and idealized modeling of geostrophic turbulence have suggested ...

    • Dynamics of Cortical Decision Circuits during Changes in the Fidelity of Sensory Representations 

      Smolyanskaya, Alexandra (2012-10-23)
      Every waking moment, we make decisions, from where to move our eyes to what to eat for dinner. The ease and speed with which we do this belie the complexity of the underlying neuronal processing. In the visual system, every ...

    • Dynamics of Demand for Index Insurance: Evidence from a Long-Run Field Experiment 

      Cole, Shawn; Stein, Daniel; Tobacman, Jeremy (American Economic Association, 2014)
      This paper estimates how experimentally-manipulated experiences with a novel financial product, rainfall index insurance, affect subsequent insurance demand. Using a seven-year panel, we develop three main findings. First, ...

    • The Dynamics of Dense Cores in the Perseus Molecular Cloud II: the Relationship between Dense Cores and the Cloud 

      Kirk, Helen; Pineda, Jaime E.; Johnstone, Doug; Goodman, Alyssa (Institute of Physics Publishing, Inc., 2010)
      We utilize the extensive datasets available for the Perseus molecular cloud to analyze the relationship between the kinematics of small-scale dense cores and the larger structures in which they are embedded. The kinematic ...

    • Dynamics of Drying in 3D Porous Media 

      Xu, Lei; Davies, Simon; Schofield, Andrew B.; Weitz, David A. (American Physical Society, 2008)
      The drying dynamics in three dimensional porous media are studied with confocal microscopy. We observe abrupt air invasions in size from single particle to hundreds of particles. We show that these result from the strong ...

    • The Dynamics of Economic Complexity and the Product Space over a 42 year period 

      Hidalgo, César A. (Center for International Development at Harvard University, 2009-12)
      How does the productive structure of countries' changes over time? In this paper we explore this question by combining techniques of networks science with 42 years of trade data and find that, while the Product Space remains ...

    • Dynamics of Entanglement with Applications to Quantum Metrology 

      Block, Maxwell Benjamin (2024-05-10)
      Coherently controllable quantum devices have grown so large and complex that direct study of their microscopic dynamics is extremely difficult, if not infeasible. Yet, realizing the promise of quantum technologies --- such ...

    • Dynamics of Envelope Evolution in Clade C SHIV-Infected Pig-Tailed Macaques during Disease Progression Analyzed by Ultra-Deep Pyrosequencing 

      Tso, For Yue; Tully, Damien C; Gonzalez, Sandra; Quince, Christopher; Ho, On; Polacino, Patricia; Ruprecht, Ruth Margrit; Hu, Shiu-Lok; Wood, Charles (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Understanding the evolution of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope during disease progression can provide tremendous insights for vaccine development, and simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) ...

    • Dynamics of evaporative colloidal patterning 

      Kaplan, Cihan Nadir; Wu, Ning; Mandre, Shreyas; Aizenberg, Joanna; Mahadevan, Lakshminarayanan (AIP Publishing, 2015)
      Drying suspensions often leave behind complex patterns of particulates, as might be seen in the coffee stains on a table. Here, we consider the dynamics of periodic band or uniform solid film formation on a vertical plate ...

    • The Dynamics of Firm Lobbying 

      Kerr, William Robert; Lincoln, William F.; Mishra, Prachi (American Economic Association, 2014-05-13)
      We study the determinants of the dynamics of firm lobbying behavior using a panel data set covering 1998–2006. Our data exhibit three striking facts: (i) few firms lobby, (ii) lobbying status is strongly associated with ...

    • The Dynamics of Genetic Draft in Rapidly Adapting Populations 

      Kosheleva, Katya; Desai, Michael Manish (Genetics Society of America, 2013)
      The accumulation of beneficial mutations on competing genetic backgrounds in rapidly adapting populations has a striking impact on evolutionary dynamics. This effect, known as clonal interference, causes erratic fluctuations ...

    • The dynamics of global risks: Sociopolitical risks in strategic management and policy decisions 

      Marolla, Cesar (De Gruyter, 2023-04-12)
      The development of the risk landscape has shifted significantly in recent years. The magnitude and consequence of more varied risks than ever previously experienced create new hazards, and exacerbate existing ones. Global ...

    • Dynamics of goat distal hind limb muscle-tendon function in response to locomotor grade 

      McGuigan, M. P.; Yoo, E.; Lee, D. V.; Biewener, Andrew Austin (The Company of Biologists, 2009)
      The functional roles of the lateral gastrocnemius (LG), medial gastrocnemius (MG) and superficial digital flexor (SDF) muscle–tendon units (MTUs) in domestic goats (N=6) were studied as a function of locomotor grade, testing ...
