The Dynamics of Quantum Criticality Revealed by Quantum Monte Carlo and Holography
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Understanding the dynamics of quantum systems without long-lived excitations (quasiparticles) constitutes an important yet challenging problem. Although numerical techniques can yield results for the dynamics in imaginary ... -
Dynamics of Ritual and Relationship: Who We Make Real and How
This paper is an exploration of attachment: how we learn to hold and be held, to know God and to know each other. In short vignettes, the author explores themes of ritual, relationship, and mourning. Combining personal ... -
The dynamics of signal amplification by macromolecular assemblies for the control of chromosome segregation
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)The control of chromosome segregation relies on the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), a complex regulatory system that ensures the high fidelity of chromosome segregation in higher organisms by delaying the onset of ... -
Dynamics of SL2(ℝ) Over Moduli Space in Genus Two
(Princeton University, 2007)This paper classifies orbit closures and invariant measures for the natural action of SL2(ℝ) on Ωℳ2, the bundle of holomorphic 1-forms over the moduli space of Riemann surfaces of genus two. -
The Dynamics of Sperm Cooperation in a Competitive Environment
(The Royal Society, 2014)Sperm cooperation has evolved in a variety of taxa and is often considered a response to sperm competition, yet the benefit of this form of collective movement remains unclear. Here we use fine-scale imaging and a minimal ... -

The Dynamics of Sphagnum in Forest and Peatland Communities in Southeastern Labrador, Canada
(1984)T. Long fire rotation, high levels of precipitation, and acidic nature of the bedrock are factors contributing to the dominance of Sphagnum in many upland and peatland communities in southeastern Labrador. Vegetation ... -
The Dynamics of Stress in Female Chimpanzees: Interactions of Social and Ecological Factors
(John Wiley & Sons, 2009)Cortisol, as a biomarker of the generalized adaptive stress response, can provide critical information on the physiological effects of behavior. However, group-living animals face multiple interacting stressors from their ... -
Dynamics of surfaces and interfaces: From first-principles modeling to machine-learning molecular dynamics
(2022-05-10)Chemical production accounts for a substantial fraction of global energy use, and the majority of industrial processes rely heavily on precious metal heterogeneous catalysts. Fundamental knowledge of the surface structure ... -
Dynamics of Surfactant-Driven Fracture of Particle Rafts
(American Physical Society, 2006)We investigate the dynamic fracture of a close-packed monolayer of particles, or particle raft, floating at a liquid-gas interface induced by the localized addition of surfactant. Unusually for a two-dimensional solid, our ... -
Dynamics of the Creation of Anglo-Saxon Societies in Central England C. AD 300-650
(2016-05-01)This thesis examines the dynamics of the creation of Anglo-Saxon societies in the central transept of Britain from AD 300 to 650, focusing on two themes: treatment of the body and grave good provision in burial practice. ... -
Dynamics of the Gender Gap for Young Professionals in the Financial and Corporate Sectors
(American Economic Association, 2010)The careers of MBAs from a top US business school are studied to understand how career dynamics differ by gender. Although male and female MBAs have nearly identical earnings at the outset of their careers, their earnings ... -
Dynamics of the global meridional ice flow of Europa’s icy shell
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-12-04) -
Dynamics of the Magellanic Clouds in a Lambda cold dark matter universe
(Oxford University Press, 2011)We examine Milky Way-Magellanic Cloud systems selected from the Millennium-II Simulation in order to place the orbits of the Magellanic Clouds in a cosmological context. Our analysis shows that satellites massive enough ... -
Dynamics of the Microbiota in Response to Host Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Longitudinal studies of the microbiota are important for discovering changes in microbial communities that affect the host. The complexity of these ecosystems requires rigorous integrated experimental and computational ... -
Dynamics of the Photogenerated Hole at the Rutile TiO 2 (110)/Water Interface: A Nonadiabatic Simulation Study
(American Chemical Society, 2014) -
Dynamics of the Transition from a Thin Accretion Disk to an Advection‐dominated Accretion Flow
(American Astronomical Society, 2000)We consider an optically thin advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) that is connected at a finite transition radius to an outer optically thick, geometrically thin disk. We include turbulent energy transport and examine ... -
Dynamics of Tissue-Resident Regulatory T Cell Populations
(2014-06-06)In recent years, there has been a worldwide increase in obesity, which parallels a rise in pathologies, including type 2 diabetes, collectively termed the metabolic syndrome. Chronic, low-grade inflammation has been ... -
Dynamics of Ubiquitin Conjugation during Erythroid Differentiation in Vitro
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1995) -
Dynamics of Westerly Wind Bursts and Western US Climate over the Past 5 Million Years
(2022-05-13)This dissertation covers investigations of the dynamics of Westerly Wind Bursts (WWBs), as well as the hydrological cycle, atmospheric circulation, and sea surface temperatures of the early-to mid-Pliocene (5.3-3 Ma) and ...
