THREE SCALES OF BANDING AND TRACE/MINOR ELEMENT VARIATION IN THE SKELETON OF THE DEEP-SEA GORGONIAN CORALChemical analysis of the skeletons was performed by laser-ablation ICP-MS for Mg/Ca, Mn/Ca, Sr/Ca, Cd/Ca, Ba/Ca and U/Ca ratios (precision ~8%). Variation in Sr/Ca across all ...
We study mechanism design for nonexcludable and excludable binary public project problems. Our aim is to maximize the expected number of consumers and the
(Rooted in paranoia, it forms a nice analog to the events at the conclusion. But more later.) In the peaceful aftermath, a group of scholars try to find a solution that prevents such events from occurring again, and create the three-body computer game as their testing ground. Through ...
Introduced in a recent update, relics are a separate category of equipment that bolster the wearer's stats and attach minor passives. Each commander is given two sets of four relic slots. When combined together in a specific manner, they may even unlock unique buffs that cannot be easily cou...
Towards southwest, this thrust disappears below the Quaternary cover of the Val de Ruz. An additional very minor anticline appears more internally just north of Lake Neuchatel, exposing a narrow stripe of Malm in the core. Northwest of the Chaumont Anticline follows the rhomb- shaped Val-de-Ruz...
The trailing edge forms part of an adjustable flap, which was deflected upwards to mitigate possible unsteady leading edge separation effects. Fig. 4 a Side and b top view of experimental setup for in-flow actuator characterization Full size image The flow of interest for disturbance ...
Planforms, cross-sections and longitudinal sections of plaice, rays and lashers.ResultsStation-holding behaviour on the smooth substratumAt low free-stream velocities, some plaice, rays and lashers were not oriented to the flow (Fig. 3). The longitudinal body axis of these fish subtended angles...
To illustrate the capability of the micro-robot in handling hydrogel units of different shapes and weights in one coding sequence, we patterned triangular, square, plus-shaped, bracket-shaped (Supplementary Movie 2) and circular PEG hydrogels into composite forms with interconnected micro- components ...
Introducing the 2° target was by no means a major point in Nordhaus’ intentions, but then the image of an invisible hand became a hugely influential metaphor after having been introduced by another economist as a minor remark in his work on the wealth of nations. Nordhaus just expressed a...
Across IQ scales, additionally controlling for neuroticism in young adulthood and change in neuroticism had only minor effects on the association of midlife perceived stress with decline. Conclusions Despite very high retest correlations, decline was observed on all WAIS IQ scales. In fully adjusted ...
