Quasiparticle band structures and interface physics of SnS and GeS
(American Physical Society, 2013) -
Quasiparticle Nernst Effect in Stripe-Ordered Cuprates
(American Physical Society, 2010)Experiments on underdoped cuprate superconductors suggest an intricate relation between the normal-state Nernst effect and stripe order: The Nernst signal appears enhanced near \(\frac{1}{8}\) hole doping and its onset ... -
Quasiperiodic predictive filtering for robot-assisted beating heart surgery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2008)Beating heart procedures promise significant health benefits to patients but the fast motion of the heart poses a serious challenge to the surgeon. Robotic motion synchronization to heart movements could facilitate these ... -
Quasistatic Crack Propagation in Heterogeneous Media
(American Physical Society, 1997)The dynamics of a single crack moving through a heterogeneous medium is studied in the quasistatic approximation, which may be directly applicable to cracks grown under fatigue. In a model scalar system and for mode III ... -
Quasistatic modeling of concentric tube robots with external loads
(IEEE, 2010)Concentric tube robots are a subset of continuum robots constructed by combining pre-curved elastic tubes. As the tubes are rotated and translated with respect to each other, their curvatures interact elastically, enabling ... -
Quasi‐periodic Oscillations from Rayleigh‐Taylor and Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability at a Disk‐Magnetosphere Interface
(American Astronomical Society, 2004)We consider the interface between an accretion disk and a magnetosphere surrounding the accreting mass. We argue that such an interface can occur not only with a magnetized neutron star but also sometimes with an unmagnetized ... -
Quaternary stereocentres via an enantioconvergent catalytic SN1 reaction
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-04) -
Qubit Protection in Nuclear-Spin Quantum Dot Memories
(American Physical Society, 2009)We present a mechanism to protect quantum information stored in an ensemble of nuclear spins in a semiconductor quantum dot. When the dot is charged the nuclei interact with the spin of the excess electron through the ... -
Que Reste-t-il de Proust ? À la Recherche du Temps Perdu comme Laboratoire de la Modernité Littéraire
(2013-02-25)L’argument initial, le laboratoire romanesque, fait glisser la thèse de la perspective “le roman et la science” à celle de "la science du roman". En présentant la Recherche comme observatoire et laboratoire humain et ... -
Queer Expertise: Urban Policing and the Construction of Public Knowledge About Homosexuality, 1920–1970
(2015-05-17)This dissertation tracks how urban police tactics against homosexuality participated in the construction, ratification, and dissemination of authoritative public knowledge about gay men in the United States in the twentieth ... -
Queeritage: LGBTQ Family Legacy in American Dramatic Narratives 1979 - 2021
(2022-05-12)This thesis examines the long-ignored theme of intergenerational queer family legacy in American dramatic narratives. It analyzes the ramifications of a queer character's interacting with, discovering, or excavating the ... -
Queerly Legal and Legally Queer: The Political Capacity of Law in South Korean Queer Activism
(2023-11-21)South Korean queer movements have increasingly played out as legal campaigns in the past decade. In sharp contrast to its early years from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s, law has emerged for activists as the most potent ... -
Quelling urban violence: A comparative analysis between humanitarian and peacebuilding approaches to engaging with street gangs in North and Latin America
(2022-05-10)This research examines and compares how humanitarian and peacebuilding organizations approach engagement with street gangs in North and Latin America for risk management purposes. Drawing from multiple semi-structured ... -
Quelques lettres inédites de George Sand à Gustave Vaëz
(Harvard Library, 1960) -
Quenching of Capillary Waves in Composite Wetting Films from a Binary Vapor: An X-Ray Reflectivity Study
(American Physical Society, 2001)We report x-ray reflectivity measurements of the internal structure of thin wetting films formed on a silicon substrate from the vapor of a binary mixture of methylcyclohexane (MC) and perfluoromethylcyclohexane (PF). At ... -
Quenching of dynamic nuclear polarization by spin–orbit coupling in GaAs quantum dots
(Nature Pub. Group, 2015)The central-spin problem is a widely studied model of quantum decoherence. Dynamic nuclear polarization occurs in central-spin systems when electronic angular momentum is transferred to nuclear spins and is exploited in ... -
Quenching of H2 Vibrations in Ultracold 3He and 4He Collisions
(American Physical Society (APS), 1998)We present results of quantum mechanical scattering calculations including full rovibrational coupling on the relaxation of vibrationally excited H2 molecules in collision with ultracold 3He and 4He atoms. The exothermic ... -

Quercetin Induces Mitochondrial Biogenesis through Activation of HO-1 in HepG2 Cells
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)The regeneration of mitochondria by regulated biogenesis plays an important homeostatic role in cells and tissues and furthermore may provide an adaptive mechanism in certain diseases such as sepsis. The heme oxygenase ... -
Quercetin-3-rutinoside Inhibits Protein Disulfide Isomerase by Binding to Its b′x Domain
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2015)Quercetin-3-rutinoside inhibits thrombus formation in a mouse model by inhibiting extracellular protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), an enzyme required for platelet thrombus formation and fibrin generation. Prior studies ...
