Rock friction and dynamic faulting at the micro- to nano-scales
(2015-05-08)
An earthquake occurs when the shear resistance of a crustal fault drops from static friction to dynamic friction during slip. Understanding fault weakening mechanisms is essential for the understanding of earthquake ...
Identification and characterization of novel components in brassinosteroid signaling and biosynthetic pathways in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2010)
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are steroidal hormones essential for normal plant growth and development. To dissect the essential role of BRs in plants, a gain-of-function approach, activation tagging, was used to identify components ...
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 ...
Environment and interspecific interactions at the margin of species ranges: a spatial analysis of forest communities
(2017-05-12)
Problem: Species’ geographic ranges are determined, in part, by suitable environmental conditions, the ability to reach sites possessing those environmental conditions, and the capability to survive interactions with other ...
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 ...

(2013)
From 1953 to 1962 Ana María Matute Ausejo (b. 1926) published ten short story collections of and two additioinal stories.
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 ...
