Forster, Richard R. | Effects of bedrock lithology and subglacial till on the motion of Ruth Glacier, Alaska, deduced from five pulses from 1973 to 2012 | A pulse is a type of unstable glacier flow intermediate between normal flow and surging. Using Landsat MSS, TM and ETM+ imagery and feature-tracking software, a time series of mostly annual velocity maps from 1973 to 2012 was produced that reveals five pulses of Ruth Glacier, Alaska. Peaks in ice ve... | | 2014-01-01 |

Nicoll, Kathleen | OSL chronologies for Aeolian activity in the context of lake-level fluctuations, drainage reorganization and glacial retreat, North-Central Minnesota | Dunes and stratified eolian sedi-ments are a significant component of the postglacial landscape across the mid-continent. During the 1970s, a benchmark study in north-central Minne-sota inferred a period of eolian activity 8,000 ? 5,000 years ago (i.e., the Altithermal Hypsithermal periods), based u... | | 2006 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Data and social science rhetoric: policy and instruction | I believe that social science and empirical investigation can make important contributions to our understanding and to resolution of policy issues, but only if we are clear on the nature of social science and the role of quantification. In particular we must admit the limits of our truth claims, th... | Social sciences; Quantification; Empirical investigation | 1996 |

Diener, Marissa L.; Wright, Cheryl | Attachment security among mothers and their young children living in poverty: associations with maternal, child, and contextual characteristics | In order to extend previous research and inform intervention programs, the goal of the present study was to further understand variability in mother-child attachment security among high-risk families living in poverty. Mothers (65% Hispanic) and their young children who were in a home visitor progr... | Attachment security | 2003 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Occupation and fertility on the frontier: Evidence from the state of Utah | BACKGROUND Most of what we know about fertility decline in the United States comes from aggregate (often state or county level) data sources. It is difficult to identify variation in fertility change across socio-economic classes in such data, although understanding such variation would provide deep... | | 2014-01-01 |

Fogel, Alan Dale | Maternal speech to three-month-old infants in the United States and Japan | An American-Japanese comparison of maternal speech to 3-month-old infants is presented. Mother-infant dyads were videotaped in the laboratory, and the maternal speech was analysed by function and syntactic form. US mothers were more information-oriented than were Japanese mothers; they also used mor... | Maternal speech; Information-oriented; Affect-oriented; Prelinguistic infants; Baby talk | 1990 |

Malloy, Thomas E.; Hansen, K. Gene | Reductions in criminality subsequent to group, individual, and family therapy in adolescent residential and day treatment settings | The complete population of adolescents in a residential and day-treatment program over a 4-year period, 532youths, served in two studies. Along with residential and day-treatment settings, predictive variables of interest were the number of hours spent in group, individual, and family therapy.

Zimmer, Zachary | Impact of past conflicts and social disruption on the elderly in Cambodia | Cambodia experienced violence during the rule of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. Many who died were the children or spouses of today's elderly. This may have resulted in an erosion of family support in a country where formal channels of assistance are virtually absent. This article examines the extent... | Cambodia; Elderly; Social Disruption; Conflicts; Poverty | 2006-06 |

Forster, Richard R. | Explaining the presence of perennial liquid water bodies in the firn of the Greenland Ice Sheet | Recent observations have shown that the firn layer on the Greenland Ice Sheet features subsurface bodies of liquid water at the end of the winter season. Using a model with basic firn hydrology, thermodynamics, and compaction in one dimension, we find that a combination of moderate to strong surface... | | 2014-01-01 |

Rogers, Alan R. | Quantitative genetics of sexual dimorphism in human body size | A classical data set is used to predict the effect of selection on sexual dimorphism and on the population means of three characters--stature, span, and cubit--in humans. Given selection of equal intensity, the population means of stature and of cubit should respond more than 60 times as fast as d... | Societies; Selection; Species | 1992 |

O'Connell, James F. | A Different Paradigm for the Initial Colonisation of Sahul: Archaeological, genetic, demographic and geographic perspectives | The questions of when and how humans reached Sahul, the Pleistocene continent of Australia and New Guinea, has remained a central issue of Australian archaeology since its development as an academic discipline in the mid-twentieth century. Additionally, this has been a dominant theme linking Austral... | Sahul; Wallacea; colonisation; isolation; genomics; mitochondrial DNA | 2019-08-20 |

Wei, Y. H. Dennis | Dynamics, space, and regional inequality in provincial China: a case study of Guangdong province | This paper investigates the regional inequality in one of the most developed provinces in China, Guangdong, from 1979 to 2009 and follows the multi-scale and multi-mechanism framework. We have found a new round of intensifying inequality in Guangdong since the early 2000s, which is attributed to the... | | 2012-01-01 |

Brown, Barbara B. | Residential territories: cues to burglary vulnerability | Newman's work on defensible space and Altman's work on territoriality were used to formulate a hypothesis that certain design elements enhance or reflect residential territoriality and thereby influence burglars' target selections. Specifically, evidence on the links from real and symbolic barriers... | Burglary; Residences; Territoriality; Homes | 1985 |

McDaniel, Susan | Work, retirement and women in later life | Research on the labour market experiences of mid-life and older women is increasing, revealing new knowledge, but also showing us how much is not yet known. Retirement remains, for the most part, a presumed life transition for men, but not necessarily for women. Despite the growing, but still small ... | Women; Retirement; Mid-life; Canada | 1995 |

Zimmer, Zachary | Disability and active life expectancy among older Cambodians | Older adults in Cambodia are survivors of harsh living conditions, including poverty and periods of extreme violence. Although these experiences may affect health outcomes, little data has existed to monitor Cambodia's older population.

Codding, Brian F. | Socioecological dynamics structuring the spread of farming in the North American Basin-Plateau Region | The spread of agriculture is a major driver of social and environmental change throughout 25 the Holocene, yet experimental and ethnographic data indicate that farming is less profitable than foraging, so why would individuals choose to adopt agriculture leading to its expansion?

Cashdan, Elizabeth A. | Competition between foragers and food producers on the Botletli River, Botswana | The immigration of food-producing groups into areas occupied by hunters and gatherers must have been a common occurrence in prehistory.

Codding, Brian | Behavioral ecology and the future of archaeological science | The future of archaeological science relies as much (if not more) on theoretical as on methodological developments. As with anything in biology, explaining past human behavior will require the application of evolutionary theory. As with anything in archaeology, theory is useless without clear ties t... | | 2015-01-01 |
