Climate Change And Late Pliocene Acceleration Of Erosion In The Himalaya, Katharine Huntington, Ann Blythe, Kip Hodges

Ann Blythe

Studies of active mountain ranges suggest that atmospheric and geodynamic processes may be strongly coupled through erosion — a hypothesis that has led to a debate over the relative importance of climate and far-field tectonic forcing in influencing erosion. We addressed this debate by developing the detailed long-term erosional history of a transect in the central Annapurna Range of Nepal for comparison with the climate and tectonic forcing histories of the region. Patterns of apatite fission-track and muscovite 40Ar/39Ar apparent ages with elevation indicate a five-fold increase in apparent erosion rate between 2.5 and 0.9 Ma ago. The time frame …

Ethics And School, Arthur Lang

Arthur Lang

My philosophy of education maintains that a liberal education in mathematics, science, history, and literature cultivates reason and knowledge, developing the ability for a student to make practical choices and most importantly, the moral sensibilities of the student. The ethics of the school is essential.

Suppression Of Spontaneous Genome Rearrangements In Yeast Dna Helicase Mutants, Kristina H. Schmidt, Richard D. Kolodner

Kristina H. Schmidt

Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants lacking two of the three DNA helicases Sgs1, Srs2, and Rrm3 exhibit slow growth that is suppressed by disrupting homologous recombination. Cells lacking Sgs1 and Rrm3 accumulate gross-chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) that are suppressed by the DNA damage checkpoint and by homologous recombination-defective mutations. In contrast, rrm3, srs2, and srs2 rrm3 mutants have wild-type GCR rates. GCR types in helicase double mutants include telomere additions, translocations, and broken DNAs healed by a complex process of hairpin-mediated inversion. Spontaneous activation of the RadS3 checkpoint kinase in the rrm3 mutant depends on the Mec3/Rad24 DNA damage sensors and results from …

Library Internship: A Key To The Development Of Sustainable Professional Competence, Puttaraj Choukimath, Uma Choukimath, Muttayya M. Koganuramath

Puttaraj Choukimath

Obtaining a professional position in the field requires real world experience. Theoretical facets form the backbone, but exposure to real-life situations need not be ignored. 'Sustainable professional competencies' warrant for the continued education and training of the LIS professionals in general and the new entrants in particular. This paper discusses the prospects of the Library Internship Training and thereby advocates for its integration in the LIS curricula. It reveals that, there is much to gain from the Library Internship.

Black Male Incarceration: The Role Of Childhood Oppositional Defiant Disorder And Conduct Disroder In Trajectories To Adulthood Psychopathy, Giraud Howard Hope

Giraud Howard Hope

This study attempts to examine the role of adolescent disruptive behavioral disorders in trajectories to adult psychopathy, and a treatment paradigm to evoke change in those at risk. Current research studies suggest that calloused-unemotionality (CU) in adolescence and lower socioeconomic status (SES) are characteristics associated with antisocial personality disorder (APD) in adulthood, and thus the determining factor in such trajectories. Critical review of literature revealed individuals with APD are the same as those with psychopathy, and that such individuals are at risk of emotional detachment, imprisonment, homicide, and suicide. However, it is unclear whether the disproportionate number of Black male …

Enquiry On The Anima, Alan A. Mackenzie

Alan A MacKENZIE

At midlife one tends to see life differently; in that, the meaning and purpose of the first half of life begins to fail us… and our whole agenda changes. Reaching midlife for many of my clients brings with it feelings of fracturing, alienation and lustiness. This paper is a reflective examination of how midlife changes bring out what Jung emphasized about the anima's role: as that factor in the male psyche responsible for the process of projection, not just for projections of and onto women- but all projection.

En Qué Se Parece Bill Gates A Eduardo Mayta, Enrique Pasquel

Enrique Pasquel

La mayoría de grandes compañías en los países desarrollados empiezan como pequeños negocios de empresarios con poco capital. Microsoft, Apple, Pfizer, Yahoo, Toyota, o IBM, por ejemplo, nacieron en una pequeña bodega, taller o garaje. Google, incluso, empezó en el dormitorio de uno de sus socios. ¿Cuántos grandes negocios perdemos en el tercer mundo por culpa de Estados que impiden a los pequeños empresarios hacer negocios?

Nano And Microscale Adhesion Energy Measurement For Au-Au Contacts In Microswitch Structures, Nima Rahbar, Zong Zong, Yifang Cao, Wole Soboyejo

Nima Rahbar

This paper presents a study of adhesion energies that are relevant to Au–Au microswitch contacts at the nano- and micronscales. Adhesionmeasurements are obtained from cantilevered Aumicroelectromechanical system(MEMS)microswitch structures with varying lengths. Scanning electron microscopymeasurements of the microbeam profiles are combined with fracture mechanics model for the estimation of the adhesion energy. Adhesion contact and pull-off experiments are combined with theoretical models for the extraction of adhesion energies associated with Au-coated atomic force microscopy tips and Aumicroswitch substrates. Finite element method simulation was also performed to account for crack-tip shielding contributions from asperities in contact between Au–Au microscale cantilevered MEMS structure. …

Incongruence Between Genetic And Morphological Diversity In Microcebus Griseorufus On Beza Mahafaly, Laurie Godfrey, K. L. Heckman, E. Rasoazanabary, E. Machlin, A. D. Yoder

Laurie R. Godfrey

Background - The past decade has seen a remarkable increase in the number of recognized mouse lemur species (genus Microcebus). As recently as 1994, only two species of mouse lemur were recognized according to the rules of zoological nomenclature. That number has now climbed to as many as fifteen proposed species. Indeed, increases in recognized species diversity have also characterized other nocturnal primates – galagos, sportive lemurs, and tarsiers. Presumably, the movement relates more to a previous lack of information than it does to any recent proclivity for taxonomic splitting. Due to their nocturnal habits, one can hypothesize that mouse …

Airborne Measurements Of Carbonaceous Aerosol Soluble In Water Over Northeastern United States: Method Development And An Investigation Into Water-Soluble Organic Carbon Sources, A. P. Sullivan, Richard E. Peltier, C. A. Brock, J. A. De Gouw, J. S. Holloway, C. Warneke, A. G. Wollny, R. J. Weber

Richard E. Peltier

A particle-into-liquid sampler (PILS) was coupled to a total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer for 3 s integrated measurements of water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) in PM1 ambient particles. The components of the instrument are described in detail. The PILS-TOC was deployed on the NOAA WP-3D aircraft during the NEAQS/ITCT 2004 program to investigate WSOC sources over the northeastern United States and Canada. Two main sources were identified: biomass burning emissions from fires in Alaska and northwestern Canada and emissions emanating from urban centers. Biomass burning WSOC was correlated with carbon monoxide (CO) and acetonitrile (r2 > 0.88). These plumes were intercepted in …

New Zealand Marine Reserves: Bureaucratic Surplusage Or Community-Driven Conservation?, James Mize

James Mize

Management authorities increasingly view marine reserves - areas of the ocean environment where no extraction of marine life is allowed - as a valuable tool for protecting areas of high biodiversity and as a buffer against scientific uncertainty in managing marine ecosystems. Such measures, however, are not without controversy as communities reliant upon these resources often resist exclusion from their traditional grounds. Thus, efforts at implementing marine reserves as conservation tools have not met widespread acceptance. As a result, marine reserves are oft designated in areas away from the interest of commercial, recreational, or customary users. In some other locations, …

Criticality For The Gehring Link Problem, Jason Cantarella, Joseph H.G. Fu, Robert Kusner, John M. Sullivan, Nancy C. Wrinkle

Robert Kusner

In 1974, Gehring posed the problem of minimizing the length of two linked curves separated by unit distance. This constraint can be viewed as a measure of thickness for links, and the ratio of length over thickness as the ropelength. In this paper we refine Gehring’s problem to deal with links in a fixed link-homotopy class: we prove ropelength minimizers exist and introduce a theory of ropelength criticality.

Our balance criterion is a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for criticality, based on a strengthened, infinite-dimensional version of the Kuhn–Tucker theorem. We use this to prove that every critical link …

Physical And Structural Basis For The Strong Interactions Of The -Impy- Central Pairing Motif In The Polyamide F-Impyim, K. Buchmueller, S. Bailey, D. Matthews, Z. Taherbhai, J. Register, Z. Davis, Chrystal Bruce, C. O'Hare, J. Hartley, M. Lee

Chrystal D. Bruce

The polyamide f-ImPyIm has a higher affinity for its cognate DNA than either the parent analogue, distamycin A (10-fold), or the structural isomer, f-PyImIm (250-fold), has for its respective cognate DNA sequence. These findings have led to the formulation of a two-letter polyamide “language” in which the -ImPy- central pairings associate more strongly with Watson−Crick DNA than -PyPy-, -PyIm-, and -ImIm-. Herein, we further characterize f-ImPyIm and f-PyImIm, and we report thermodynamic and structural differences between -ImPy- (f-ImPyIm) and -PyIm- (f-PyImIm) central pairings. DNase I footprinting studies confirmed that f-ImPyIm is a stronger binder than distamycin A and f-PyImIm and …

A New Alliance In New York State: A Progress Report On The Labor Movement’S Restructuring, Capacity Building, And Programmatic Work, Jeff Grabelsky

Jeffrey Grabelsky

The labor movement in New York State (NYS) has undergone a dramatic restructuring that is part of a national American Federation of Labor–Congress of Industrial Organizations program called the New Alliance. The purpose of the New Alliance is to build the capacity of local labor movements and to empower unions to help shape a region’s political and economic agenda. The restructuring in NYS led to the consolidation of twenty-five central labor councils into five area labor federations, each of which is developing the resources, staff, and leadership to help grow labor’s regional power across the state. This article describes the …
