Spatial and Geomorphological Analysis of Mammoth Localites in Western Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)
Up until recently research on Paleoindian archaeology has focused on Clovis hunters and the demise of 35 genera of megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene. However, with increasing evidence of Pre-Clovis settlement many ...
Interactions of polymers with surfaces
(2014-07)
The glass transition behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) adsorbed on silica (surface area = 200 m2/g) was studied by temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC). For small amounts of the polymer ...
