Addressing emergency preparedness inequality at an individual scale: a case study of Hurricane Harvey
… inequalities in emergency preparedness on an individual scale can be observed. Data was collected through online surveys and measured the exposure of the individual to Hurricane Harvey, individual disruption to normalcy due to Hurricane Harvey, preparedness actions taken and their …

The junior South African individual scale as predictor of scholastic achievement at Sub A, Sub B & Std One levels
… eight subtest form of the Junior South African Individual Scale (JSAIS - 8) and scholastic performance at Sub A, Sub B and Std One levels, as measured by teacher evaluations. An unreferred sample of 104 pupils who had been tested on the JSAIS- 8 in their Sub A year were followed up at the end of …

Heterogeneous Distribution and Corresponding Mechanical Significance of The Mineral Phase in Fish Scales
Fish scales can be considered as a laminated composite based on collagen fibrils arranged in a cross-plywood structure. This collagen-based composite is often partially mineralized (primarily hydroxyapatite) in the scale exterior in order to resist penetration and hence to enhance protection. …

Towards Bacteria Inspired Stochastic Control Strategies for Microrobotic Swarm Intelligence
… movement and dynamic density measurements. Both individual and population scale models have been created to adequately model community dynamics. These dynamics, including directed motion due to chemotaxis and density controlled functionality from quorum sensing, are modeled through an individual …

Acoustic target classification of zooplankton using machine learning
… densely aggregated targets such as individual zooplankton. However, broadband echosounders are associated with increased data volume and complexity, necessitating the use of automated methods such as machine learning (ML). The feasibility of individual-scale classification of …

Development of a cell flux model and its application to nitrogen fixers
… biology" models are focused at the metabolic and individual scale. In this study, we develop and apply a simplified metabolic model at the individual scale, which we call "the cell flux model", in order to quantify costs and benefits of nitrogen fixers. In Chapter 2, we develop the cell flux model …

Multiscale Quantitative Analytics of Human Visual Searching Tasks
… can be quantitatively understood from multiple scales, namely, 1) the population scale to treat individuals equally and model the general relationship between individual's physiological signals with visual searching decisions; 2) the individual scale to model the relationship between individual …

Migration and Residential Mobility Into Impoverished Rural Illinois Communities
… to a multi-scalar process. At the community scale, poor rural communities with high percentages of affordable rental housing attract migrants. At the individual scale, migrants are drawn to these communities via social and kinship ties after ""forced migrations"" from their previous …

Protein structure and interaction under environmental stress : from quality control recognition to evolution of collective behavior
… stress response must be examined both on the scale of individual protein conformational changes and on a more global level, where interaction patterns can reveal larger-scale protein responses to cellular stress. On the individual scale, one example of a protein particularly susceptible to …

Do music and art influence one another? Measuring cross-modal similarities in music and art
… known to interact with one another on both an individual scale (such as music-inspired synesthetes and artist-musician duos) and on a grand scale (such as the art movement Baroque, wherein abstract qualities such as "ornamentation" permeate both media). The aim of this paper was to find a means …

Why it takes all kinds: diversity mechanisms and patterns in ecological communities
This work explores the effect of diversity of individuals on a community. The mechanisms generating diversity are explored, their effects on patterns of diversity are examined, and the impact of diversity on community properties (such as productivity and stability) is investigated. Three …
