(2019-09)The Neotropical variegated squirrel, Sciurus variegatoides, is represented in Nicaragua by five known subspecies—adolphei, belti, boothiae, dorsalis, and underwoodi. Analyses of morphometrics, color, and color patterns of ... -
A Conceptual Framework for Retro Marketing in Sport
(Fitness Information Technology, 2018-09-01)Retro marketing has become a staple in sport marketing practices. Teams and leagues are attempting to connect their fans to the past in a magnitude of ways. Despite the influx of retro marketing in sport, there has been ... -
Homography Estimation Based on Order-Preserving Constraint and Similarity Measurement
(IEEE, 2018-05-17)Homography is an important concept that has been extensively applied in many computer vision applications. However, accurate estimation of the homography is still a challenging problem. The classical approaches for robust ... -
Broken promise of college? New educational sorting mechanisms for intergenerational association in the 21st century
(2019-10-22)Previous studies have shown that intergenerational socioeconomic association becomes weaker as children’s education level increases and is negligible among college graduates. A college degree is known as the great equalizer ... -
Application of fluvial scaling relationships to reconstruct drainage-basin evolution and sediment routing for the Cretaceous and Paleocene of the Gulf of Mexico
(Geological Society of America, 2018-02-28)Fluvial systems represent a key component in source-to-sink analysis of ancient sediment-dispersal systems. Modern river channels and channel-related deposits possess a range of scaling relationships that reflect drainage-basin ... -
A descriptive study to evaluate the effects of Jordan's 1987 national conference for educational reform
(University of Kansas, 1992-12-31)The focus of this study is on the goals, implementation, and outcomes of Jordan's 1987 National Conference for Educational Reform (NCER). Its purpose is to describe and evaluate the large scale attempts at educational ... -
Prenatal and perinatal risks for late language emergence in a population-level sample of twins at age 2
(BMC, 2018-02-07)Background Late Language Emergence (LLE) in the first two years of life is one of the most common parental concerns about child development and reasons for seeking advice from health professionals. LLE is much more prevalent ... -
Land–Atmosphere Interactions: The LoCo Perspective
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-06-27)Land–atmosphere (L-A) interactions are a main driver of Earth’s surface water and energy budgets; as such, they modulate near-surface climate, including clouds and precipitation, and can influence the persistence of extremes ... -
Segmented strain accumulation in the High Himalaya expressed in river channel steepness
(Geological Society of America, 2018-03-12)We investigate segmentation of High Himalayan strain by cross-orogen structures separating western and eastern obliquely convergent sectors from a central orthogonally convergent sector, and evaluate the relationship between ... -
Tiny Houses, Big HVAC?
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2018-01)Through TV s hows, websites, and other popular media, a relatively new class of affordable residences, “tiny houses,” is attracting home buyers’ interest but so far has not undergone much scrutiny from the engineering ... -
Thermomechanical Modeling of Welding and Galvanizing a Steel Beam Connection Detail to Examine Susceptibility to Cracking
(ASTM, 2018-07-10)Hot-dip galvanizing is the process of submerging steel elements into molten zinc to form a metallurgically bonded zinc coating that serves as corrosion protection for the steel substrate. Used with great success on an ... -
Survey of fifteen principals trained in precision teaching exploring their use of the standard celeration chart
(University of Kansas, 1986-08-31)This study explored the use of Precision Teaching by 15 principals trained in Precision Teaching. The primary purpose was to identify variables contributing to their continuance or discontinuance of standard celeration ... -
Thermal Zoning For HVAC Design
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2018-12)The thermal zoning for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system design, and the factors affecting zoning decisions are discussed. Spaces within buildings have varying thermal loads. To maintain the desired ... -
Economic Disparities: SPARK Ohio and Narrowing the Kindergarten Readiness Gap
(Hindawi, 2018-09-10)The present study investigated the extent to which children of various economic backgrounds were prepared for kindergarten literacy activities, as measured by the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment-Literacy (KRA-L). The ... -
Muscle Synergies Obtained from Comprehensive Mapping of the Cortical Forelimb Representation Using Stimulus Triggered Averaging of EMG Activity
(Society for Neuroscience, 2018-10-10)Neuromuscular control of voluntary movement may be simplified using muscle synergies similar to those found using non-negative matrix factorization. We recently identified synergies in electromyography (EMG) recordings ... -
Bayesian Finite Element Model Updating and Assessment of Cable-Stayed Bridges Using Wireless Sensor Data
(MDPI, 2018-09-12)We focus on a Bayesian inference framework for finite element (FE) model updating of a long-span cable-stayed bridge using long-term monitoring data collected from a wireless sensor network (WSN). A robust Bayesian inference ... -
Multi-channel and multi-polarization radar measurements around the NEEM site
(European Geosciences Union, 2018-08-16)Ice properties inferred from multi-polarization measurements, such as birefringence and crystal orientation fabric (COF), can provide insight into ice strain, viscosity, and ice flow. In 2008, the Center for Remote Sensing ... -
Digital Phase Noise Compensation for DSCM-Based Superchannel Transmission System With Quantum Dot Passive Mode-Locked Laser
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-05-28)We propose a simplified digital phase noise compensation technique for a Nyquist pulse-shaped digital subcarrier multiplexed (DSCM) coherent optical transmission system, employing an optical frequency comb based on Quantum ... -
High‐Frequency Sensor Data Reveal Across‐Scale Nitrate Dynamics in Response to Hydrology and Biogeochemistry in Intensively Managed Agricultural Basins
(American Geophysical Union, 2018-06-15)Excess nitrate in rivers draining intensively managed agricultural watersheds has caused coastal hypoxic zones, harmful algal blooms, and degraded drinking water. Hydrology and biogeochemical transformations influence ... -
Two-dimensional physical modelling of soil displacements above trapdoors
(Thomas Telford, 2018-06-18)Geosynthetic reinforcement has been increasingly used over voids or piles in soft soil to support embankments and minimise differential settlement. Due to differential settlement, soil arching is formed and less pressure ...
