Disentangling bacterial invasiveness from lethality in an experimental host‐pathogen system
(EMBO, 2019-06)Quantifying virulence remains a central problem in human health, pest control, disease ecology, and evolutionary biology. Bacterial virulence is typically quantified by the LT50 (i.e., the time taken to kill 50% of infected ... -
Disentangling heavy flavor at colliders
(American Physical Society, 2017-09)We propose two new analysis strategies for studying charm and beauty quarks at colliders. The first strategy is aimed at testing the kinematics of heavy-flavor quarks within an identified jet. Here, we use the SoftDrop ... -

Disentangling jet modification in jet simulations and in Z+jet data
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2022-02-21)Abstract The selection of jets in heavy-ion collisions based on their pT after jet quenching is known to bias towards jets that lost little energy in the quark-gluon plasma. In this ... -
Disentangling long and short distances in momentum-space TMDs
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2022-07-20)Abstract The extraction of nonperturbative TMD physics is made challenging by prescriptions that shield the Landau pole, which entangle long- and short-distance contributions in momentum ... -
Disentangling Risk and Change: Internal and External Social Comparison in the Mutual Fund Industry
(Sage Publications, 2014-12)Using data on 3,225 actively managed U.S. mutual funds from 1980 to 2006, we test hypotheses designed to disentangle risk and change as outcomes of behavioral performance feedback routines. We theorize that managers make ... -
Disentangling scene content from its spatial boundary: Complementary roles for the PPA and LOC in representing real-world scenes
(Society for Neuroscience, 2011-01)Behavioral and computational studies suggest that visual scene analysis rapidly produces a rich description of both the objects and the spatial layout of surfaces in a scene. However, there is still a large gap in our ... -
Disentangling Scene Content from Spatial Boundary: Complementary Roles for the Parahippocampal Place Area and Lateral Occipital Complex in Representing Real-World Scenes
(Society for Neuroscience, 2011-01)Behavioral and computational studies suggest that visual scene analysis rapidly produces a rich description of both the objects and the spatial layout of surfaces in a scene. However, there is still a large gap in our ... -
Disentangling the ACA’s Coverage Effects — Lessons for Policymakers
(New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM/MMS), 2016-09)Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), an estimated 20 million Americans have gained health insurance, and the country’s uninsured rate has dropped from 16% to 9% since 2010.1 In the upcoming presidential ... -

Disentangling the Planet from the Star in Late-Type M Dwarfs: A Case Study of TRAPPIST-1g
(American Astronomical Society, 2018)© 2018. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. The atmospheres of late M stars represent a significant challenge in the characterization of any transiting exoplanets because of the presence of strong ... -

Disentangling Time-series Spectra with Gaussian Processes: Applications to Radial Velocity Analysis
(IOP Publishing, 2017-05)Measurements of radial velocity variations from the spectroscopic monitoring of stars and their companions are essential for a broad swath of astrophysics; these measurements provide access to the fundamental physical ... -
Disjoinable Lagrangian spheres and dilations
(Springer-Verlag, 2013-09)We consider open symplectic manifolds which admit dilations (in the sense previously introduced by Solomon and the author). We obtain restrictions on collections of Lagrangian submanifolds which are pairwise disjoint (or ... -
Disjoint path protection in multi-hop wireless networks with interference constraints
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-02)We consider the problem of providing protection against failures in wireless networks by using disjoint paths. Disjoint path routing is commonly used in wired networks for protection, but due to the interference between ... -

Disjointness of Stabilizer Codes and Limitations on Fault-Tolerant Logical Gates
(American Physical Society, 2018-05)Stabilizer codes are among the most successful quantum error-correcting codes, yet they have important limitations on their ability to fault tolerantly compute. Here, we introduce a new quantity, the disjointness of the ... -
Disjunctive antecedent conditionals
(Springer Nature America, Inc, 2018-07)Disjunctive antecedent conditionals (DACs)—conditionals of the form if A or B, C—sometimes seem to entail both of their simplifications (if A, C; if B, C) and sometimes seem not to. I argue that this behavior reveals a ... -
Disjunctive cuts in Mixed-Integer Conic Optimization
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2022-06-27)Abstract This paper studies disjunctive cutting planes in Mixed-Integer Conic Programming. Building on conic duality, we formulate a cut-generating conic program for separating disjunctive cuts, and investigate ... -
The Disk Wind in the Neutron Star Low-mass X-Ray Binary GX 13+1
(IOP Publishing, 2018-06)We present the analysis of seven Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer and six simultaneous RXTE Proportional Counter Array observations of the persistent neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1 on ...
