Active Nonlinear Vibration Control of Engineering Structures of Multiple Dimensions
… vibration control of engineering structures of multiple dimensions. The proposed control strategy has been applied in several wildly applied typical engineering structures, including Euler-Bernoulli beams and axially moving structures. Nonlinear vibrations wildly exist in engineering structures, …

Multiple dimensions of floral rewards drive pollinator behavior and pollen movement
Animal pollinated plants produce a diversity of rewards to attract pollinating insects. Most commonly these are nutritional rewards; either pollen (primarily protein and lipids) and/or nectar (primarily carbohydrates) in varying combinations and qualities. This reward strategy varies inter- and …

Social Support and Post-Divorce Adjustment in Highly Educated Women
… of 25 highly educated recently divorced women. Multiple dimensions of social support were assessed through interviews, questionnaires, diaries of social activity, and audiotape recordings of divorced women discussing a personal problem with a confidant. Three measures of psychological adjustment …

Examining Multiple Identity Dimensions with Native Students at a Predominantly White University
… few studies have viewed identity as having multiple dimensions that can intersect and become more or less salient throughout an individual’s life. Purpose: This study expands on the work of Abes and Jones (2004) by exploring how meaning-making capacity helps determine the level at which a …
