Frictional Properties of Fault Gouge in HIgh Velocity/Long Distance Shear Experiments
(2016-05-14)
The present objective is the characterization of the dynamic friction and seismic stability of fault gouge in high-velocity/long-distance shear experiments. The study has two parts based on the gouge source: A) Reservoir ...
A Defense of Nonreductive Mental Causation
(2013)
Mental causation is a problem and not just a problem for the nonphysicalist. One of the many lessons learned from Jaegwon Kim's writings in the philosophy of mind is that mental causation is a problem for the nonreductive ...
Sensitivities of 1-km Forecasts of Tornadic Supercells to Microphysics Parameterizations, Assimilated Radar Data, and Assimilation Techniques
(2016-05-13)
The aim of this study is to examine the impact of using five different microphysics parameterization schemes, including single-, double-, and triple-moment microphysics, in an efficient high-resolution data assimilation ...
A Risk And Trust Security Framework For The Pervasive Mobile Environment
(2013)
A pervasive mobile computing environment is typically composed of multiple fixed and mobile entities that interact autonomously with each other with very little central control. Many of these interactions may occur between ...
A New Random Walk for Replica Detection in WSNs
(PLos One, 2016-07-13)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are vulnerable to Node Replication attacks or Clone attacks. Among all the existing clone detection protocols in WSNs, RAWL shows the most promising results by employing Simple Random Walk ...

Follower Mental Models and Outstanding Leadership
(2015)
Charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic (CIP) leaders use different mental models to understand and interpret the world. The present study uses this framework to gain a better understanding of how outstanding leaders ...
Validity of laboratory and field methods for predicting fat free mass in elite male rowers
(2012)
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of air displacement plethysmography, ultrasound, near-infrared interactance, and skinfold measurements in estimating fat-free mass in elite male rowers. Twenty-three ...
INFLUENCE OF HYDRAULIC HYSTERESIS ON THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF UNSATURATED SOILS AND INTERFACES
(2010)
Unsaturated soils are commonly widespread around the world, especially at shallow depths from the surface. The mechanical behavior of this near surface soil is influenced by the seasonal variations such as rainfall or ...
