An Atlas Of Cenozoic Climate Zones
(Geology, 2012-07-25)
This atlas illustrates global climatic zones in five major turning points of Cenozoic climate history: the K/T, the Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), the Eocene/Oligocene Transition (EOT), the Late Miocene (Messinian), ...
Identifying Media Consumption Habits And Media Literacy Skills In College Undergraduates
(Communication, 2012-07-25)
In the United States, media literacy education is not as advanced as in other English speaking regions such as, Great Britain, Canada, and Australia. Most teachers and students in the US are unaware of issues involved in ...
Numerical Simulation Of The Base-level Buffers And Buttresses Conceptual Model Of Fluvial Systems
(Geology, 2012-07-25)
A Buffer in fluvial stratigraphy is a potentiometric surface which defines either: a) the lowest possible depth to which streams will incise; or b) the maximum elevation to which aggradation will occur; together, these ...
Capacity Position And Financial Performance: Longitudinal Evidence From U.S. Manufacturers
(Information Systems & Operations Management, 2012-04-11)
This research synthesizes research from the strategy, organization theory and operations management streams in exploring the competitive implications of firms' capacity over time. Data from archival sources are analyzed ...
Novel Applications Of Compressed Sensing To Magnetic Resonance Imaging And Spectroscopy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
In this work, three novel applications of compressed sensing to MRI have been developed and implemented which accomplish reduction in acquisition time, thereby also enabling increased spatial and/or temporal resolution. ...
Parametric Analysis Of A Detonation-type Turbofan
(Aerospace Engineering, 2012-04-11)
A new type of turbofan which detonates a fuel-air mixture was theoretically found to perform better than a conventional turbofan. A continuous detonation process is described and considered inside the core of the turbofan. ...
Characterizing And Predicting Growth In Reading Skills In Children With Developmental Dyslexia Through Functional Neuroimaging
(Psychology, 2012-07-25)
Children with developmental dyslexia exhibit deficits in a wide variety of reading skills that are attributable to underlying deficits in phonological processing. Functional neuroimaging studies show that these children ...
Arctic Arthropod Communities In Habitats Of Differing Shrub Abundance
(Biology, 2012-07-25)
Recent global warming, which has been severe in the Arctic, has caused advancement in the timing of snowmelt and expansion of shrubs into open tundra. Such an altered climate may directly and indirectly (via effects on ...
A Late Holocene Meander-braid Transition Of The Lower Missouri River Valley
(Geology, 2012-07-25)
Historically, the Lower Missouri River is known for being a temperate river that constantly and quickly reworks its floodplain with a braided network of channels; however, the river only recently became braided. Ox-bow ...
Effect Of Stress And Suction Histories Dynamic Properties Of Statically Compacted Silty Sand
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the experimental study whose intent is to find the effect of the stress/suction history on the dynamic properties of silty sand subjected to small- to mid-strains. The practical ...
