M Dwarf Activity in the Pan-Starrs1 Medium-Deep Survey: First Catalog and Rotation Periods
(American Astronomical Society, 2016-12-21)We report on an ongoing project to investigate activity in the M dwarf stellar population observed by the Pan-STARRS 1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1-MDS). Using a custom-built pipeline, we refine an initial sample of ∼4 million ... -
M&A Contracts: Purposes, Types, Regulation, and Patterns of Practice
(2015)M&A transactions are governed by contracts that exhibit constrained variation – they are negotiated, yet full of boilerplate, tailored, yet full of patterns and regularities. This paper (a chapter of the Research Handbook ... -
M-DPOP: Faithful Distributed Implementations of Efficient Social Choice Problems
(AAAI Press, 2008)In the efficient social choice problem, the goal is to assign values, subject to side constraints, to a set of variables to maximize the total utility across a population of agents, where each agent has private information ... -

M89V Sialic Acid Acetyl Esterase (SIAE) and All Other Non-Synonymous Common Variants of This Gene Are Catalytically Normal
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Catalytically defective rare variants of Sialic acid Acetyl Esterase (SIAE) have previously been linked to autoimmunity. Studies presented here confirm that the M89V SIAE protein and all other products of common variant ... -
Macaque Ventral Visual Responses to Diverse Stimuli and during Natural Vision
(2023-01-17)Studies of vision in the primate brain must contend with a gap between reductionist experiments and the rich context of natural behaviors. I explored the selectivity of macaque ventral visual neurons within a broad stimulus ... -

Machiavelli, Civic Humanism, and the Humanist Politics of Virtue
(Maney Publishing, 2014)Modern studies of Italian humanist political thought emphasize the theme of republican liberty, but this conception has been understood in anachronistic ways and exaggerated in importance. Much more central is the problem ... -
Machina.NET: A Library for Programming and Real-Time Control of Industrial Robots
(Ubiquity Press, Ltd., 2019-08-13)Machina is a .NET library for programming and control of industrial robots. It is designed to build applications that interface with robotic devices in real time. The library features a high-level API of simple, device-agnostic ... -
Machine Behaviour
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-04)Machines powered by artificial intelligence increasingly mediate our social, cultural, economic and political interactions. Understanding the behaviour of artificial intelligence systems is essential to our ability to ... -
Machine Gun Politics: Why Politicians Cooperate with Criminal Groups
(2022-11-23)Why would a politician collude with a criminal group? Conventional wisdom generally depicts politicians as either passive recipients of bribes or the targets of criminal violence, even when interacting cooperatively. In ... -
Machine Learning and Human Capital Complementarities: Experimental Evidence on Bias Mitigation
(Wiley, 2020-08)The use of machine learning (ML) for productivity in the knowledge economy requires considerations of important biases that may arise from ML predictions. We define a new source of bias related to incompleteness in real ... -
A Machine Learning Approach for Identifying Amino Acid Signatures in the HIV Env Gene Predictive of Dementia
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The identification of nucleotide sequence variations in viral pathogens linked to disease and clinical outcomes is important for developing vaccines and therapies. However, identifying these genetic variations in rapidly ... -
Machine Learning Based Spectrum Fingerprinting of Drones for Defensive Cyber Operations
(2023-04-28)The rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone capabilities in the past decade has significantly expanded the commercial, military, and consumer applications for these innovative airborne devices. Characterized ... -
Machine Learning Bayesian Force Fields and Applications to Phase Transformations
(2023-11-21)This thesis develops machine learning Bayesian force fields for efficient and accurate molecular dynamics simulations of materials. The Gaussian process regression model provides uncertainty quantification, enabling Bayesian ... -
Machine learning classification of cell-specific cardiac enhancers uncovers developmental subnetworks regulating progenitor cell division and cell fate specification
(Company of Biologists, 2014)The Drosophila heart is composed of two distinct cell types, the contractile cardial cells (CCs) and the surrounding non-muscle pericardial cells (PCs), development of which is regulated by a network of conserved signaling ... -
Machine learning exciton dynamics
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)Obtaining the exciton dynamics of large photosynthetic complexes by using mixed quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) is computationally demanding. We propose a machine learning technique, multi-layer perceptrons, ... -
Machine Learning for Automated Planning
(2022-05-23)Automated planning is a long-standing problem which concerns finding an action sequence to solve a task. In this thesis, we explore two problems in leveraging machine learning for automated planning: (1) learning from ... -
Machine Learning for Financial Market Forecasting
(2023-05-03)Stock market forecasting continues to be an active area of research. In recent years machine learning algorithms have been applied to achieve better predictions. Using natural language processing (NLP), contextual information ... -
Machine Learning for Flavor Development
Currently, most flavor development is performed by chemists who experimentally iterate many times to find flavors that best fit specified requirements. In this study, three potential algorithms for automating and accelerating ...
