Zhdanov, Michael | Contraction integral equation method in three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling | The integral equation method has been proven to be an efficient tool to model threedimensional electromagnetic problems . Owing to the full linear system to be solved, the method has been considered effective only in the case of models consisting of a strongly limited number of cells. However, recen... | 2002-01-01 | |

Newton, Maria | The influence of a simulated 'pep talk' on athlete inspiration, situational motivation, and emotion | Coaches routinely use pep talks to inspire and motivate athletes, but the efficacy of this strategy has not been empirically examined. Conceptually based on Thrash and Elliot's [3, 4] inspiration research this study explored the impact of a simulated pep talk on inspiration, inspiration to perform, ... | 2011-01-01 | |

McLennan, John | Final Report Geothermal Battery Energy Storage | Solar and wind power are being introduced into electric grids to supplement and replace conventional electricity production. The deployment of utility-scale storage has not kept pace to overcome the intermittent nature of solar and to a lesser extent wind. Large-scale energy storage is cur... | 2020-06 | |

McElreath, Richard | Are peasants risk-averse decision makers? | For decades, researchers studying small-scale, subsistence-oriented farmers have sought to explain why these "peasants" seem slow to acquire new technologies, novel agricultural practices, and new ideas from the larger societies that have engulfed them. The early work on this question suggested that... | Subsistance farmers; Risk-aversion; Risk-taking; Cultural conservatism; Cost-benefit analysis | 2002 |

Utz, Rebecca L.; Lund, Dale A.; Caserta, Michael | Humor, laughter, and happiness in the daily lives of recently bereaved spouses | The positive psychology movement has created more interest in examining the potential value of experiencing positive emotions (e.g., humor, laughter, and happiness) during the course of bereavement. This study of 292 recently widowed (5-24 weeks) men (39%) and women (61%) age 50 and over examined bo... | bereavement adjustment | 2008-01-01 |

Ehleringer, James R. | Simplified GIS approach to modeling global leaf water isoscapes | The stable hydrogen (d2H) and oxygen (d18O) isotope ratios of organic and inorganic materials record biological and physical processes through the effects of substrate isotopic composition and fractionations that occur as reactions proceed. At large scales, these processes can exhibit spatial predic... | Oxygen isotope ratio; Hydrogen isotope ratio; Leaf water isoscapes; GIS | 2008 |

Salari, Sonia Lynne | Social and environmental infantilization of aged persons: observations in two adult day care centers | This study examines the social environments, staff behavior, and social interaction of elderly clients in two adult day care centers. Goffman's (1961) description of the psycho-social effects of the "total institution" is used as a framework for conceptualizing the effects of "partial institutions" ... | Infantilization | 2001 |

Wright, Scott D. | Gray and green revisited: a multidisciplinary perspective of gardens, gardening, and the aging process | Over fourteen years ago, the concept of "gray and green" was first introduced by Wright and Lund (2000) to represent a new awareness and a call for increased scholarship at the intersection of environmental issues and the aging process. This review paper revisits that concept with a fresh perspectiv... | 2014-01-01 | |

Chapman, David S. | Borehole temperatures and climate change: ground temperature change in south India over the past two centuries | Variations in surface g round temperature (SGT) at the Earth's surface diffuse downward in a predictable way causing systematic perturbations to the subsurface temperature field. The pioneering study of Lachenbruch and Marsh all [1986] in Alaska demonstrated that present-day borehole temperature-dep... | 2012-01-01 | |

Zimmer, Zachary; Korinek, Kim | Number of children and proximate residence among older adults in the context of population aging: a comparative analysis of six societies in the Asia-Pacific region | Population aging, occurring concurrently with social and economic change, has the potential to dismantle traditional support structures for older adults in the Asia-Pacific region. An example is the traditional system of living with an adult child, which may be threatened by smaller families and mor... | Population; Aging; Asia-Pacific | 2007-08-18 |

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.

Seger, Jon | Ideas in ecology | The word "ecology" means different things to different people. For example, during the last 25 years or so the word has been used to label attitudes, life-styles, consumer goods, political parties, and college courses. In the 1960s one university renamed its "Home Economics" course "Home Ecology."... | Behavioral ecology; Population ecology | 1986 |
