Ice-rafted debris in the Southern Ocean : potential uses and limitations of ²³⁰Th-normalized fluxes
We measured IRD fluxes from 22-5 ka BP in two sediment cores from the Scotia Sea using two different methods. The first, commonly used method, uses the linear sedimentation rate (LSR), dry bulk density, and weight percent of IRD in the sample. The second uses ²³⁰ThTh normalization, which has been …

Effects of Focal on Driver Calibration of Attention Maintenance Performance Using Normalized Difference and Brier Scores
… calibration using two different measures, normalized difference scores and the Brier score. Thirty-six participants received either FOCAL or Placebo training program, immediately followed by driving simulator evaluation of their attention maintenance performance. In the evaluation drive, …

Food Preparation And Dining In A Normalized Space Environment The Meal: A Centerpiece For Psychological Survival
… cooking aspect of space travel creates a more normalized space environment that gives the crew a sense of home away from earth. Bringing a cooking aspect to Mars will create a sense of community and improve the astronauts' mental and physical health. These units are more versatile, compact, …

The influence of effective consolidation stress on the normalized extension strength properties of resedimented Boston blue clay
… undrained shear strength based on the concept of normalized soil parameters; called the SHANSEP (Stress History and Normalized Soil Engineering Properties) method. Recent research at MIT has discovered a consistant variation of undrained shear parameters during triaxial compression. Undrained …

Normalized mechanical properties of resedimented Gulf of Mexico clay from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition Leg 308
During Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition Leg 308, many Whole Core Samples were recovered from the Ursa Basin in the Gulf of Mexico. Post-cruise geotechnical testing found these samples to be highly disturbed due to the sampling process. This research will determine mechanical …

An investigation of the high cycle fatigue behavior of bovine trabecular bone
… hypothesized that there was a fatigue limit at a normalized stress, [Delta] [rho]/E₀, of approximately 0.0035. This study tested this hypothesis by fatigue testing bovine trabecular bone loaded to one of four normalized stresses ranging from 0.0015 to 0.0035. Failure was defined as a 10% loss in …
