Sea-ice and ice-shelf variability in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica
… is dominated by the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) in West Antarctica. Ice shelves in the ASE influence the ice-mass-loss rates of the Antarctic Ice Sheet through their ability to buttress the grounded ice and modulate ice-flow speed. Ice shelves reduce ice flow and retreat by buttressing …

Defining the Components of Academic Self-Efficacy in Navajo American Indian High School Students
… Low levels of academic self-efficacy (ASE) has been identified as one of the factors possibly contributing to lower than expected rates of academic achievement and low post-secondary education retention rates in this population. This investigation sought to further define the component …

Evaluating Model-Estimated Shoulder Muscle Activity During Overhead Work with Varied Task Demands and Exoskeleton Use
Passive arm support exoskeletons (ASEs) have emerged as an intervention that can reduce shoulder stress during overhead tasks. However, the effects of these devices are task- and device-specific, and current evaluation protocols remain time-consuming and resource-intensive. Musculoskeletal modeling …

Neuronal Laterality in Caenorhabditis elegans: Morphological and Functional Aspects
The ASE neurons of C. elegans are an excellent model to study neuronal asymmetry. Lateralization with respect to their genetic fate and function has been well studied, but their more subtle asymmetries have not. This work describes three such asymmetries: that of amino acid gustation, associative …

Characterization and nonlinear cleanup of noise in optical communication systems
… pulses while rejecting cw background as well as ASE noise. The filter is realized by constructing a nonlinear optical Sagnac loop that is imbalanced by asymmetric dispersion. In the first demonstration at 30 Mb/s, a relative extinction of 22 dB (with respect to the pulse) is measured for the cw …
