The influence of shear rate and temperature on the viscosity and fragility of the Zr₄₁.₂Ti₁₃.₈Cu₁₂.₅Ni₁₀.₀Be₂₂.₅ (Vit1) metallic glass forming liquid is measured in the liquid and undercooled liquid state between 907 and 1300 K. The results show a complex rheological behavior of Vit1. The viscosity of Vit1 is about three...
The aquatic modeling group, consisting of Davis, Donaldson, Hall, Higley, Lyford, McIntire, Mullooly, Overton, Strand, Waring, and Warren, met in four 2-hour sessions from July 7 to July 26. The charge to the group was: 1. Define an appropriate internal structure for the aquatic subsystem; 2. Define significant couplings between...
This index provides access to infonnation about women in 102 books and journals. The information contained in each entry is only as good as the original and the quality varies considerably. Much of this infonnation has not before been easily accesible in this form. My hope is that this index...
This study describes and quantifies some microprocesses of malaria
transmission including blood vessel location by Anopheles stephensi and
sporozoites delivery of An. stephensi infected by Plasmodium berghei. The
study models the effects of malaria parasite-induced changes in probing
behavior and mosquito mortality on disease transmisson. Finally, host, vector,
and parasitological...
The benefits of reproduction are clear, but there are also costs. Much is known about the costs of reproduction in females, but only recently have male costs been investigated in any depth. These costs of reproduction may be minimized by appropriately modifying behavior, but there has been little research on...
An analytical model is developed to address the question of how different disturbance
regimes affect the mean and variance of landscape carbon storage in forest ecosystems. Total landscape carbon is divided into five pools based on the processes from which they are derived and based on their temporal dynamics. Formulae...
