The Trope of Silence in the Work of Herta Müller
P Shopin
Aug 09, 2017
With reference to Herta Müller’s fiction and non-fiction, my essay explores how the trope of silence is engaged to make sense of more abstract concepts. Drawing on conceptual metaphor theory, I argue that Müller uses silence as...
Language as a force for good in the work of Herta Müller
P Shopin
Oct 02, 2017
Herta Müller creates sophisticated metaphors to convey her vision of language and its relationship to suffering and subjugation. With reference to both her fiction and non‐fiction, this essay explores how she uses the idea of...
STRING FEVER
String Fever: a new play by Jacquelyn Reingold Followed by Q&A led by professor and physicist Konstantin A. Goulianos, Ph.D.
Rather doomed than uncertain
We analyze the relation between individuals' risk aversion and their willingness to expose themselves to infection when faced with an asymptomatic infectious disease. We show that in a high prevalence environment, increasing...
Predicting Pathways between Distant Configurations for Biomolecules.
Many of the most interesting rearrangements associated with function and dysfunction of biomolecules involve complex, highly nonlinear pathways. Predicting these convoluted changes in structure is an important research...
Mutational Basin-Hopping
The study of energy landscapes has led to a good understanding of how and why proteins and nucleic acids adopt their native structure. Through evolution, sequences have adapted until they exhibit a strongly funneled energy...
Energy Landscapes for the Aggregation of Aβ17-42.
The aggregation of the Aβ peptide (Aβ1-42) to form fibrils is a key feature of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanism is thought to be a nucleation stage followed by an elongation process. The elongation stage involves the...
Evolved Minimal Frustration in Multifunctional Biomolecules.
Protein folding is often viewed in terms of a funneled potential or free energy landscape. A variety of experiments now indicate the existence of multifunnel landscapes, associated with multifunctional biomolecules. Here, we...
Implementation of Text Mining in Socio-Economic Research
This work aims to analyze insights from social networks for identification of population satisfaction with pay level in Russia using the text mining approach. For this, a sentiment analysis framework was developed, which...
Fast Track Physics: [Dr. Konstantin Goulianos]
M. S. Kaplan
Jan 01, 0001
Rockefeller University Research Profiles are a series of scientific profiles that were published quarterly, from 1980-1990, by the Rockefeller University. Each issue features the research and achievements of an individual...
Experimentally revealed stochastic preferences for multicomponent choice options.
Realistic, everyday rewards contain multiple components. An apple has taste and size. However, we choose in single dimensions, simply preferring some apples to others. How can such single-dimensional preference relationships...
Energy Landscapes of Deoxyxylo- and Xylo-Nucleic Acid Octamers.
Artificial analogues of the natural nucleic acids have attracted interest as a diverse class of information storage molecules capable of self-replication. In this study, we use the computational potential energy landscape...
