  • Paying Attention to the Man behind the Curtain 
    Cummings, M. L.; Thornburg, Kristopher M. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2011-01)
    In the push to develop smart energy systems, designers have increasingly focused on systems that measure and predict user behavior to effect optimal energy consumption. While such focus is an important component in these ...
  • Paying Too Much for Energy? The True Costs of Our Energy Choices 
    Looney, Adam; Greenstone, Michael (MIT Press, 2012-04)
    Energy consumption is critical to economic growth and quality of life. America's energy system, however, is malfunctioning. The status quo is characterized by a tilted playing field, where energy choices are based on the ...
  • Paying with money or effort: Pricing when customers anticipate hassle 
    Lambrecht, Anja; Tucker, Catherine Elizabeth (American Marketing Association, 2012-02)
    For many services, customers subscribe to long-term contracts. Standard economic theory suggests that customers evaluate a contract on the basis of its overall net benefits. the authors suggest that rather than evaluating ...
  • pB264, a small, mobilizable, temperature sensitive plasmid from Rhodococcus 
    Lessard, Philip A; O'Brien, Xian M; Currie, Devin H; Sinskey, Anthony J (BioMed Central Ltd, 2004-04)
    Background: Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Rhodococcus have shown an extraordinary capacity for metabolizing recalcitrant organic compounds. One hindrance to the full exploitation of Rhodococcus is the dearth of genetic ...
  • Pd-Catalyzed Conversion of Aryl Chlorides, Triflates, and Nonaflates to Nitroaromatics 
    Fors, Brett P.; Buchwald, Stephen Leffler (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009-08)

  • Pd-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Amides and Aryl Mesylates 
    Dooleweerdt, Karin; Fors, Brett P.; Buchwald, Stephen Leffler (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-04)
    A catalyst, based on a biarylphosphine ligand, for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of amides and aryl mesylates is described. This system allows an array of aryl and heteroaryl mesylates to be transformed into ...
  • Pd-Catalyzed N-Arylation of Secondary Acyclic Amides: Catalyst Development, Scope, and Computational Study 
    Buchwald, Stephen Leffler; Cuezva, Alberto Martinez; Hicks, Jacqueline D.; Hide, Alan M. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2009-11)
    We report the efficient N-arylation of acyclic secondary amides and related nucleophiles with aryl nonaflates, triflates, and chlorides. This method allows for easy variation of the aromatic component in tertiary aryl ...
  • Pd-Catalyzed O-Arylation of Ethyl Acetohydroximate: Synthesis of O-Arylhydroxylamines and Substituted Benzofurans 
    Maimone, Thomas; Buchwald, Stephen Leffler (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010-07)
    An efficient Pd catalyst for the O-arylation of ethyl acetohydroximate with aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides has been developed. Ethyl acetohydroximate serves as an efficient hydroxylamine equivalent for C−O cross-coupling, ...
  • Pd-Catalyzed Synthesis of Ar-SCF3 Compounds under Mild Conditions 
    Teverovskiy, Georgiy; Surry, David S.; Buchwald, Stephen Leffler (Wiley Blackwell, 2011-06)
    Good to excellent yields of aryl trifluoromethyl sulfides, which are an important class of compounds in both the pharmaceutical and agrochemical areas, can be achieved under mild conditions by the Pd-catalyzed reaction of ...
  • Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAR) reduction for acoustic OFDM systems 
    Rojo Garrave, Guillem; Stojanovic, Milica (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-03)
    A major drawback of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is its large peak-to-average power ratio (PAR). Techniques for PAR reduction have been extensively studied for radio communication systems. While these ...
  • Peer Effects, Teacher Incentives, and the Impact of Tracking: Evidence from a Randomized Evaluation in Kenya 
    Duflo, Esther; Dupas, Pascaline; Kremer, Michael (American Economic Association, 2011-08)
    To the extent that students benefit from high-achieving peers, tracking will help strong students and hurt weak ones. However, all students may benefit if tracking allows teachers to better tailor their instruction level. ...
  • People can understand descriptions of motion without activating visual motion brain regions 
    Bedny, Marina; Dravida, Swethasri P.; Saxe, Rebecca R. (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-08)
    What is the relationship between our perceptual and linguistic neural representations of the same event? We approached this question by asking whether visual perception of motion and understanding linguistic depictions of ...
  • People Don't Need a Profit Motive to Innovate 
    von Hippel, Eric A. (Harvard Business Publishing, 2011-11)
    The finding: Innovations developed by individuals who give them away increasingly compete with patent-protected, for-profit innovations in many parts of the economy.
  • Peptide Array X-Linking (PAX): A New Peptide-Protein Identification Approach 
    Okada, Hirokazu; Uezu, Akiyoshi; Soderblom, Erik J.; Moseley, M. Arthur, III; Gertler, Frank; Soderling, Scott H. (Public Library of Science, 2012-05)
    Many protein interaction domains bind short peptides based on canonical sequence consensus motifs. Here we report the development of a peptide array-based proteomics tool to identify proteins directly interacting with ...
  • Peptide Fragment Coupling Using a Continuous-Flow Photochemical Rearrangement of Nitrones 
    Zhang, Yuan; Blackman, Melissa L.; Leduc, Andrew B.; Jamison, Timothy F. (Wiley Blackwell, 2013-03)
