Cold air outbreaks over the Gulf Stream and implications for the North Atlantic Ocean
… of North Atlantic Deep Water formation. This bipolarity of the wind forcing and its oceanic impacts are manifestations of the North Atlantic Oscillation. The results indicate that the NAO may well be the key to ocean variations that drive the global thermohaline circulation.

The development and validation of the Adult Recollection of Parental Relating Questionnaire - a new instrument for measuring parental relating styles
… negative relating, and the absence of construct bipolarity. The ARPRQ comprises of 48 items distributed evenly over eight scales, and has a separate version for each parent. The items were generated and refined through an iterative process consisting of repeated piloting, item analysis and item …

Functional analyses of mitotic microtubule-binding complexes
… that is critically required to maintain spindle bipolarity and execute numerous other cellular processes throughout the cell cycle. The execution of these diverse functions of dynein relies on precise temporal and spatial regulation of dynein activity. Dynein regulation is accomplished in part by …

Shaping urban form without zoning: a case study of houston
… at the ends are more relevant than the bipolarity view. Equity goals are not met in market approaches. For welfare and rights, public planning intervention is necessary. The market might provide physical land use diversity, but it fails to support socioeconomic diversity.

Mathematical modeling of biological dynamics
… issue of how the spindle can robustly recover bipolarity from the irregular forms caused by centrosome defects/perturbations. By developing a biophysical model based on experimental data, we uncover the mechanisms that guide the separation and/or clustering of centrosomes. Our model identifies …
