Chimeric inheritance and crown-group acquisitions of carbon fixation genes within Chlorobiales: Origins of autotrophy in Chlorobiales and implication for geological biomarkers
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2022)<jats:p>The geological record of microbial metabolisms and ecologies primarily consists of stable isotope fractionations and the diagenetic products of biogenic lipids. Carotenoid lipid biomarkers are particularly useful ... -
Chimpanzee and Human Y Chromosomes Are Remarkably Divergent in Structure and Gene Content
(Nature Publishing Group, 2010-01)The human Y chromosome began to evolve from an autosome hundreds of millions of years ago, acquiring a sex-determining function and undergoing a series of inversions that suppressed crossing over with the X chromosome[1, ... -
China and Greco-Roman Antiquity: Overture to a Study of the Vase in Eighteenth-Century France
(2016-03)One of the more remarkable aspects of eighteenth-century European art is the proliferation of vases, both as physical objects and design ideas. From the illustrated volume dedicated to them in Johann Bernhard Fischer ... -
A “China in the World” Paradigm for Scholarship
(Springer US, 2021-03-08)Abstract In this introduction to the special issue, we use the expression “China in the world” paradigm to define scholarship that purposefully migrates across the traditional borders of comparative politics ... -
The China Shock: Learning from Labor Market Adjustment to Large Changes in Trade
(Annual Reviews, 2016-08)China’s emergence as a great economic power has brought an epochal shift in patterns of world trade. This shift has toppled much of the received empirical wisdom about how labor markets adjust to trade shocks. Alongside ... -
The China Syndrome: Local Labor Market Effects of Import Competition in the United States
(American Economic Association, 2013-10)We analyze the effect of rising Chinese import competition between 1990 and 2007 on US local labor markets, exploiting cross- market variation in import exposure stemming from initial differences in industry specialization ... -
China's Search for Assured Retaliation: The Evolution of Chinese Nuclear Strategy and Force Structure
(MIT Press for the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University, 2010-09)After exploding its first nuclear device in 1964, China did not develop sufficient forces or doctrine to overcome its vulnerability to a first strike by the United States or the Soviet Union for more than three decades. ... -
China-U.S. cooperation to advance nuclear power
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2016-08)With China having the largest fossil fuel CO₂ emissions today and the United States being higher in per capita emissions (see related energy consumption in the first figure), these countries have a strong mutual interest ... -
China’s Assertive Behavior – Part Two: The Maritime Periphery
(Hoover Institution, 2011-09)In CLM 32, we examined how both Chinese and outside observers look at China’s growing assertiveness on the international stage, that is, the purely perceptual dimensions of the issue. In CLM 34, we assessed whether, ... -
