Christensen, Douglas A. | Introduction to biomedical engineering: biomechanics and bioelectricity - part I | Intended as an introduction to the field of biomedical engineering, this book covers the topics of biomechanics (Part I) and bioelectricity (Part II). Each chapter emphasizes a fundamental principle or law, such as Darcy's Law, Poiseuille's Law, Hooke's Law, Starling's law, levers and work in the a... | Biological membranes; Poiseuille's law; Hooke's law; Starling's law of the heart; Matlab | 2009 |

Farmer, Colleen G. | Reproduction: the adaptive significance of endothermy | A central theme raised by Angilletta and Sears is that the energetic cost of endothermy is too enormous to be offset by the benefits that thermogenesis could provide for reproduction. Angilletta and Sears suggest that parents would have been better off producing additional offspring with the energy ... | Parental care; Incubation; Metabolism | 2003 |

Codding, Brian | Conservation or co-evolution? Intermediate levels of aboriginal burning and hunting have positive effects on kangaroo populations in Western Australia | Studies of conservation in small scale societies typically portray indigenous peoples as either sustainably managing resources, or forsaking long-term sustainability for short-term gains. To explain this variability, we propose an alternative framework derived from a co-evolutionary perspective. In ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Reitze, Arnold W. | BiofuelsSnake Oil for the Twenty-First Century | Congress should slash its subsidies for corn-based ethanol and focus its efforts on research and development efforts to advance the technologies needed to reduce our need for foreign petroleum. We should be working to lower the costs of cellulosic ethanol production as well as working on promisi... | | 2008-12-01 |

Garrett, Timothy J. | Observed influence of riming, temperature, and turbulence on the fallspeed of solid precipitation | Forecasts of the amount and geographic distribution of snow are highly sensitive to a model's parameterization of hydrometeor fallspeed. Riming is generally thought to lead to particles with a higher mass and terminal velocity. Yet models commonly assume that heavily rimed particles such as graupel ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Sansone, Carol | Improving the dependability of research in personality and social psychology: recommendations for research and educational practice | The Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) Presidential Task Force on Publication and Research Practices was appointed in response to concerns about the dependability and replicability of research findings in personality and social psychology, a problem that also plagues fields as dive... | | 2014-01-01 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Herbivory on planted dipterocarp seedlings in secondary logged forests and primary forests of Sabah, Malaysia | Leaf defences, leaf nutritional quality and leaf expansion rates may vary with resource availabilities to plants. Such variation could affect rates of leaf loss to herbivores, particularly along the steep resource gradients in disturbed forests. Intraspecific and interspecific variation in leaf dama... | Danum Valley; Dipterocarp; Dryobalanops lanceolata; Herbivory rates; Leaf damage; Leaf expansion rates; Logged tropical forests; Secondary forests; Shorea leprosula | 2001-03 |

Hillman, Nicholas W | Tuition discounting for revenue management | Over the past decade, institutionally-funded financial aid (or "tuition discounts") have been the fastest-growing item within most public four-year college and university operating budgets. One explanation for this trend is due to the changing structure of public colleges' revenue streams, as tuitio... | | 2010 |

Firmage, Edwin B. | Religion & the law: the Mormon experience in the nineteenth century | The Mormon cases present a fascinating study of diversity and conformity in the nineteenth century United States. From their beginning the Mormons were a gathered people. Almost immediately, from the time of the origin in New York, the Mormons challenged national and state legal systems to protect... | Law; Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; Nineteenth century; Polygamy; Theocracy | 1990 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Comparative structure of harvester ant communities in arid Australia and North America | In the Australian arid zone, the species richness of ants is greater and that of mammalian granivores is less than in North American deserts. This study aimed to determine if the structure of harvester ant communities differs from that seen in North American deserts, focussing on differences relate... | Species; Rodents; Diversity | 1988 |

Bergerson, Amy A. | Outreach and identity development: New perspectives on college student persistence | College student persistence continues to pose challenges for higher education institutions, despite over 40 years of research. Although persistence is studied from many different angles, the majority of studies examining the causes of and cures for students' departure from college reflect the import... | | 2014-01-01 |

Codding, Brian F. | Environmental productivity predicts migration, demographic, and linguistic patterns in prehistoric California | Global patterns of ethnolinguistic diversity vary tremendously. Some regions show very little variation even across vast expanses, whereas others exhibit dense mosaics of different languages spoken alongside one another. Compared with the rest of Native North America, prehistoric California exemplif... | Colonization of North America; Prehistoric migrations; Human behavioral ecology; Ideal free distribution; Ideal despotic distribution | 2013-09-03 |

Behle, William H. | Birds of pine valley mountain region, Southwestern Utah | It has long been a practice among ornithologists to study the distribution, variation, and ecological relationships of birds in areas characterized by diverse physiographic features. Such studies are motivated usually by the desire to aid in finding solutions for the many problems concerning the dis... | | 1943-08-10 |

Sperry, John S. | Inter-tracheid pitting and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood: the role of tracheid allometry and cavitation protection | Plant xylem must balance efficient delivery of water to the canopy against protection from air entry into the conduits via air-seeding. We investigated the relationship between tracheid allometry, end wall pitting, safety from air-seeding, and the hydraulic efficiency of conifer wood in order to bet... | Allometry; Araucariaceae; cavitation | 2006 |

Rogers, Alan R.; Jorde, Lynn B. | Genetic evidence on modern human origins | A review of genetic evidence leads to the following conclusions concerning human population history: (1) Between 33,000 and 150,000 years ago the human population expanded from an initial size of perhaps 10,000 breeding individuals, reaching a size of at least 300,000. (2) Although the initial popu... | Population history; Mitochondrial DNA; Mismatch distribution; Intermatch distribution; Replacement hypothesis; Population bottlenecks | 1995 |

Sekercioglu, Cagan | The need to quantify ecosystem services provided by birds | What are birds worth-what is their actual dollar value to human society? To most of us in the ornithological community, birds are invaluable. But in these times we need more specific rationales to convince policy makers and business leaders to include bird conservation in land-use and development de... | | 2011-01-01 |
