Analysis and behavior of preexisting landslides
… clayey soils, any subsequent movement along the preexisting slip surface will be controlled by the drained residual strength. Skempton (1985) suggests that the strength of a clay also will be at or close to the residual value on slip surfaces in soliflucted slopes, bedding shears in folded …

Adaptive reuse and the museum : installing a museum in a preexisting shell
The thesis deals with the complexities involved within the conversion of an old building to an art museum. The restoration of a building is by itself a complicated problem, conjuring up questions about the relationship between the old and new parts of the structure. The reuse of the old building as …

Preexisting Sexual Trauma and the Impacts on Psychological Well-Being of College Students
… the epidemiology, prevalence, and description of preexisting sexual trauma in college students. The potential negative effects of preexisting sexual trauma and how they occur with college students were explored to highlight how pervasive the impact these histories are for individuals. By providing …

The effect of preexisting joints on normal fault evolution : insights from fieldwork and analogue modeling
… work aims for an understanding of the effect of preexisting joint sets on normal fault evolution. Approaches for this work contain a field study, remote sensing and analogue modeling. The Grabens Area of the Needles fault zone in the Canyonlands National Park, Utah/USA was chosen as field …

The Role of Preexisting Airmass Boundaries in the Maintenance and Rotation of Deep Convection in a High -Cape, Low -Shear Environment
… initialization that included the dominant preexisting airmass boundaries of the 27 May 1997 event. With a localized initialization and no preexisting boundaries, the simulated storm was short-lived and therefore consistent with the high-CAPE, low-shear archetype. When both the dryline and …

Two phases of extension in North China since Mesozoic :
… cold and thick lithosphere. Furthermore, preexisting lithospheric weakening is needed to explain the formation of the Late Cenozoic rift zones within the relatively thick lithospere. These preexisting weakening zones may be inherited from the Paleoprotozoic collision that formed the North …

Relating cortical bone mechanics to intracortical pore morphology, distribution and remodeling history within the fibula diaphysis
… of high SED pores overlapped with the pore of a preexisting remodeling event (osteon) (5.9-fold higher odds). Conclusions: Collectively, these data show that the high SED pores are preferentially enlarged irregular pores positioned closer to the endosteal surface of the cortex, and that these …

An Exploration of Contributors to Intergenerational Trauma Transmission in American Families: Parental Life Experiences and Parenting Styles.
<p>Preexisting research on intergenerational trauma transmission primarily addresses biological and behavioral routes of transmission, leaving little room for systemic influences. This research reviews preexisting biological and behavioral contributors and explores systemic contributors to …

Predicting failure behavior of polymeric and asphalt composites using damage models
… subjected to an applied static wheel loading. Preexisting cracks located within the existing asphalt material are also considered. The extended finite element method (XFEM) was employed to model mesh-independent cracking. The finite element model was validated by comparing the results to …

Developmental underpinnings of expectations of equity and attitudes toward resource disparities
… in the context of rewards, punishments, and preexisting resources. Experiments 4 and 5 examined whether toddlers respond differently to individuals with disparate preexisting resources. In Experiment 1, 10-month-old infants expected an experimenter to allocate praise based on work input, and …

Integrative genomic approaches to dissecting host-tumor and host-pathogen immune processes
… fold changes in protein levels. Conversely, the preexisting proteome of proteins performing basic cellular functions is remodeled primarily through changes in protein production or degradation, accounting for more than half of the absolute change in protein molecules in the cell. Thus, the …

Sensory exploitation and condition indication may explain red pelvic spines in the brook stickleback Culaea inconstans
… (Cu!aea inconstans) evolve to exploit a preexisting sensory bias for red prey, thus helping males draw females to the nest? Or, did it evolve as an intersexual signal indicating male condition to females? Methods: I recorded the frequency of red pelvic spine coloration in males versus …

MR assessment of the adjacent segment degeneration after discography
… that the only significant factor for ASD was the preexisting disc degeneration (OR 2.649, 95% CI 1.607-4.367). Pfirrman grade 3 was the most vulnerable stage for ASD. CONCLUSION: Pain provocation on discography did not predict the progression of disc degeneration at the adjacent levels of surgery. …

Delaying School Start time at One High School and its Impact on Attendance
This research study is a secondary analysis of preexisting attendance data. The study was conducted at an urban high school in Upstate New York to determine if delaying the school start time by one half hour has an impact on student attendance. The data was collected by the school and anonymously …
