Free Vibrations of Multilayer Anisotropic Cylindrical Shells
(Journal of Composite Materials, 1969-07-01)A theoretical analysis is presented for determining the free vibra tional characteristics of thin-walled, circular cylindrical shells with layers of anisotropic elastic material arbitrarily laminated either sym metrically ... -
Free Vibrations of Unsymmetrically Laminated Anisotropic Plates with Clamped Edges
(Journal of Composite Materials, 1969-04-01)A linear analysis is presented for determining the natural frequen cies of vibration of laminated anisotropic rectangular plates. The plate may consist of an arbitrary number of thin orthotropic layers, the major ... -
Frequency Equations and Modes of Free Vibrations of Rectangular Plates with Various Edge Conditions
(Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 1994-09-01)This paper considers linear free vibrations of thin isotropic rectangular plates with combinations of the classical boundary conditions of simply supported, clamped and free edges and the mathematically possible condition ... -
Friendship and commercial societies
(Politics, Philosophy & Economics, 2008-08-01)Critics of commercial societies complain that the free-market system of property rights and freedom of contract tends to commodify relationships, thus eroding the bonds of personal and civic friendship. I argue that this ... -

From Tripod to Cosmos: A New Metaphor for the Language Arts
(1998-02)This article discusses the old tripod model of language arts teaching, language, literature and composition and introduces a new model with eight petals (the cosmos flower), including technology, speech and drama, critical ... -
Fruit and Soil Quality of Organic and Conventional Strawberry Agroecosystems
(PLos One, 2010-09-01)BackgroundSale of organic foods is one of the fastest growing market segments within the global food industry. People often buy organic food because they believe organic farms produce more nutritious and better tasting ... -
Functional Biogeography as Evidence of Gene Transfer in Hypersaline Microbial Communities
(PLos One, 2010-09-23)BackgroundHorizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays a major role in speciation and evolution of bacteria and archaea by controlling gene distribution within an environment. However, information that links HGT to a natural ... -
Functional Gene Composition, Diversity and Redundancy in Microbial Stream Biofilm Communities
(PLos One, 2015-04-07)We surveyed the functional gene composition and diversity of microbial biofilm communities in 18 New Zealand streams affected by different types of catchment land use, using a comprehensive functional gene array, GeoChip ... -
