InNorth by Northwest, the MacGuffin is reduced to what Hitchcock called “its purest expression: nothing at all!” The information sought by both Thornhill and the government is stored on microfilm contained within a figurine. But the secrets on that microfilm, thus the gravity of the stakes, ...
The Cottonwood fault displaces the Wilson Cliffs plate, but ends to the northwest by warping of the Keystone plate. The deformation along the Cottonwood fault can be explained by post-Keystone southside-down displacement of 3500 to 3800... BC Burchfiel,CS Cameron,LH Royden - 《International Geol...
In Portland’s desirable and compact Northwest neighborhood, Sienna saw the parking lot of a specialized medical center as a potential housing site. After producing a pro forma, the firm approached the owners and showed that it could provide them with a covered, forty-three-space parking lot (...
This is explained by the observation that the hinge lines lie within or close to the shear plane, i.e. the plane of no rotation in simple shear deformation. Integration of strain across the deformation zone indicates a magnitude of back movement in the order of ca. 20-36 km, and it is...
Today's ride would take me into northwest Washington via WA17, WA97, and finally a hundred or so miles across the mountainous WA20, and across the Deception Pass bridge into Oak Harbor. It was a great day with cool temperatures and routes that took me passed apple and cherry orchards, ...
Climate change is expected to shift the boreal biome northward through expansion at the northern and contraction at the southern boundary respectively. However, biome-scale evidence of such a shift is rare. Here, we used remotely-sensed tree cover data t
Taxon: non-biting midges (Chironomidae) Methods: we examined chironomid assemblages from 239 lakes in the western North Atlantic Arctic region (specifically from the Arctic Archipelago of Canada, two parts of west Greenland (the southwest and central west), and northwest Iceland). We used a ...
The remaining portions of the state are not served predominantly by reservoir-backed surface water supplies, but instead have a mix of river-based surface water, or groundwater wells. The Northwest region -- which encompasses primarily Sussex and Warren counties -- is experiencing groundwater levels...
For this regional model study, MPIOM has been run with a stretched grid configuration enabling higher horizontal resolution in the Northwest European Shelf and North Atlantic ocean. The analysis is applied to interannual variabilities of winter and summer separately. The results indicate that on ...
