Petrophysical facies mapping of the Pennsylvanian Cline Shale, Midland Basin, West Texas.
The Cline Shale is a Pennsylvanian unconventional shale resource play located in the Midland Basin, west Texas. This study evaluates the depositional, stratigraphic and petrologic controls on Cline Shale reservoir quality and their spatial distribution as determined from core-calibrated …

Petrophysical lithofacies modeling of the upper Pennsylvanian Cline Shale in the Midland Basin, West Texas.
The Cline Shale is an upper Pennsylvanian interval of interstratified organic-rich shale, inorganic shale, and allochthonous carbonate beds, and is currently an active unconventional exploration target within the Midland Basin of west Texas. This study compares core-observed depositional facies to …

Chinese Englishes: History, Contexts, and Texts
… that nativization of English in China forms a CLINE, for the degrees of nativization in terms of English as a medium of intranational communication and English for international communication. This cline of proficiency is best represented by a polymodel (Kachru 1982b and later) which includes …

Relative clauses in dialects of English : a typological approach
… clauses, and intermediate types assembled on a cline) are treated in brief. The approach is partly descriptive, partly functional, over which a typological grid is placed. Based on data primarily from FRED Corpus, which has been compiled at the University of Freiburg, relative clauses are …

Perspectives on fixedness: applied and theoretical
… of expressions. A unidirectional, cyclical cline of language change is proposed, and its relationship to the grammaticalization cline is discussed. The eclectic approach taken in the book serves the dual function of bridging the gap between applied and theoretical approaches to linguistic …

Panmixia Across the Range of the Assortatively Mating Lesser Snow Goose
… and it has been proposed that the geographic cline of the color phases reflects a historic allopatry of the phases. Using ddRAD-seq, thousands of SNPs were analyzed in both phases and in colonies across the range of the species to examine genetic evidence for separation of the color phases or …

Representation theory of algebras related to the partition algebra
… We then use this result and general arguments of Cline, Parshall and Scott to prove that the Juyumaya algebra En(x) over the complex field is generically semisimple for all n 2 N. The theoretical background which will facilitate an understanding of the construction process is developed in suitable …

SPECIES RECOGNITION IS DRIVING EVOLUTION OF THE ACOUSTIC MATING SYSTEM OF SHIELD BACK KATYDIDS (ORTHOPTERA: TETTIGONIIDAE: AGLAOTHORAX): BEHAVIORAL AND PHYLOGENETIC EVIDENCE
… four variable characters, and revealed a song cline in the Transverse Ranges. Of the variable song characters, I estimated female preferences for pulse number and interpulse interval, the former with choice tests on a Y-maze and the latter with no-choice tests on a locomotion compensator. …

Storage and Utilization of Hexamerin Proteins in the Pitcher Plant Mosquito, Wyomyia Smithii
… mosquito, Wyeomyia smithii shows a North-South cline in the southeastern United States. Adult female W. smithii in North Carolina are completely autogenous and larger in size (based on wing length). They are anautogenous in Florida and smaller in size. The adult females in Georgia are …

Allozyme Diversity and Hybridization in Castanea Pumila (Section Balanocastanon, Fagaceae)
… of allozyme frequencies, indicate a broad cline characteristic of secondary contact. This pattern could reflect the presence of an old hybrid zone, but is inconsistent with the presence of two reproductively-isolated groups. Consequently the data support the recent revision of the section.

The Role of a Clinical Research Nurse: The Impact of Working Remotely
… clinical trials continues to be widely unknown (Cline & Showalter, 2020). Leveraging the Erlandson et al. (1993) Naturalistic Inquiry method, this study explores the perceptions and experiences of CRNs who transitioned to working remotely due to the Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic …

The Lost Artist: Biographical Fiction and the Identity of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald
… biographies written by Nancy Milford and Sally Cline, this thesis argues for Fowler’s depiction of Zelda, one that is embedded in the New Woman identity of the 1920s. The resulting novel gives autonomy to Zelda and aids in reshaping her image for a modern 21<sup>st</sup> century audience.</p>

Bias reduction in nonparametric hazard rate estimation
… method of empirical transformations (Ruppert and Cline [35]). Studying the asymptotic square error of the resulting estimator we show that the advance is similar to the variable bandwidth approach. In summarizing the thesis, ideas and plans for further work are suggested.

The Role of Temperature in the Seed Germination Ecology of Mountain Springs and Fens
… germination. This species has a local dormancy cline that is related to the genetic composition of the populations and to site climate, but that also responds in the short term to the seed maturation environment. These results highlight the potential of germination traits to react to climate …

Spatial structuring in trait variation in Polyommatus icarus in a functional context
… here is to study this along a latitudinal cline of temperature and photoperiod, using four populations from south to north within mainland Britain. AFLP differences, but not allozyme variation, indicate genetic structuring, with an isolation by distance effect. Enzyme diversity of P. icarus …

Exploring the role of auxin in phenotypic plasticity in Arabidopsis thaliana root development
… under higher UV that followed a latitudinal cline. In populations from higher latitude, there were fewer lateral root primordia and emerged lateral roots, as well as less shoot biomass. We observed that in mature plants grown at lower UV levels, the photosynthetic rate and shoot biomass were …

Diversification of Antbirds Associated with Amazonian Flooded Forest Habitats
… contact, Sclateria exhibited strongly concordant cline centres across nuclear loci, mitochondrial DNA and female plumage, consistent with secondary contact between an eastern and western lineage that diverged in allopatry. I also applied coalescent modelling to distinguish between allopatric, …
