This work examined the transformation of the concept of biodiversity into natural resource policies of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the World Bank through 1988. The study identified several groups as playing key roles in the transformation process. These were nongovernmental environmental organizations, the scientific community, and the...
The purpose of this investigation was to test two hypotheses.
The first hypothesis interprets allochthonous rocks in the southern
Pinyon Range to lie on the Devonian Nevada Group. The second
hypothesis interprets allochthonous rocks to lie on the Mississippian
Dale Canyon Formation. Evidence presented here supports the second
hypothesis.

Large earthquakes on mid-ocean ridge transform faults are
commonly preceded by foreshocks[superscript 1–3] and changes in the
seismic properties of the fault zone³. These seismic precursors
could be linked to fluid-related processes[superscript 2,3]. Hydrothermal
fluids within young, hot crust near the intersection of oceanic
transform faults are probably in a...
Three-dimensional symmetric tensor fields have a wide range of applications in solid and fluid mechanics. Recent advances in the topological analysis of 3D symmetric tensor fields focus on the local behaviors of tensor fields at degenerate points, which usually form curves. In this paper, we make a number of observations...
