Relative Timing of Porphyroblast Growth and Peak Metamorphism in the Lower Granite Gorge, Grand Canyon, Arizona.
… on S2 fabric involved rotation of porphyroblasts relative to matrix, shearing, and bending of S2 around porphyroblasts. Post-porphyroblast matrix coarsening indicates that metamorphism accompanied late adjustments on S2. Collectively, these data suggest that peak metamorphism occurred during the …

Relative timing of dolomitization and silica cementation in the Cambrian Potosi and Eminence Dolomites in the Illinois Basin, USA
… the Illinois Basin. This process has permitted relative constraints to be placed on the timing and source waters of dolomitization, dissolution and silica cementation in the Potosi and Eminence Dolomites. Quartz cements in the Cambrian Mt. Simon Sandstone and the overlying Cambrian Eau Claire …

The role of perceived relative timing of puberty and psychosocial maturation on the well-being of Asian American young adults
… examined how the experience of perceived relative pubertal and psychosocial maturation is related to individuals’ young adult experiences, with a particular focus on Asian American females. Study 1 investigated how the perceived relative timing of puberty and psychosocial maturation were …

Structural and metamorphic evolution of the Ormsby Zone and relative timing of gold mineralization: a newly defined Archean orogenic gold prospect hosted on the Discovery Property, Yellowknife greenstone belt, Slave Province, Canada
… and metamorphic events are sequenced and the relative time of gold mineralization placed into the geological framework. Peak-metamorphic mineral assemblages on the property record upper greenschist to amphibolite facies conditions. Rocks on the Discovery Property have undergone at least four …

Salient features of contextual interference and knowledge of results
… Specifically, three variations of a relative timing task were presented in either a blocked or random schedule, and participants were either required to error estimate or given no instruction concerning estimation. A 2 (Acquisition Context) x 2 (Error Estimation Frequency) ANOVA was …

Effects of Hearing Aid Amplification on Robust Neural Coding of Speech
… amplifiers. There is growing evidence that relative timing in the neural signals (known as spatiotemporal coding) is important for speech perception, but there is little research that relates spatiotemporal coding and hearing aid amplification.</p> <p>This research uses a combination of …

A new approach to studying earnings announcement timing : why do firms change earnings announcement dates?
… a novel approach to isolating the impact of the relative ordering of different firms' earnings announcements on market outcomes. This approach relies on quasi-exogenous variation in the relative timing of earnings announcements driven by the specific day-of-week on which a calendar month begins. …

Scheduling Real-Time Computations With Temporal Distance and Separation Constraints and With Extended Deadlines
… correct but also must meet their strict timing constraints. To guarantee the timing requirements are satisfied, effective scheduling algorithms must be used. Different real-time applications have different timing requirements. Therefore, different timing constraints must be defined for …

High-precision U/Pb geochronology of large igneous provinces and mass extinctions : testing coincidence and causation
… higher precision, the ability to resolve the relative timing of mass extinction and magmatism outside the analytical uncertainty on dates populating age models is possible, allowing detailed investigation of a causal connection. The current work develops zircon and perovskite minerals as …

Individual differences in audiovisual integration and timing
… times, creating discrepancies between the relative arrival time of auditory and visual information at primary and multisensory cortices. Despite this, a commonly accepted view is that the brain strives for and achieves temporal unity across different sensory modalities. Using individual …

Some in vivo effects of triiodothyronine on purine nucleotide synthesis
… AMP and NAD<sup>+</sup> were dependent upon the relative timing of administration of hormone and glycine. The greatest increase in specific activity was observed in NAD<sup>+</sup>. The effect of the hormone on the synthesis of GMP was variable and dependent upon relative timing of administration …

Proximal Causes of Dispersal in Yellow-Bellied Marmots.
The relative importance of adult-yearling interaction, and individual behavioral phenotypes, on dispersal of yearling yellow-bellied marmots was investigated. Two marmot colonies near Gothic, Colorado were studied; one was treated as an experimental colony from which all adults were removed, the …

Dynamics of Cell Fate Decision Making Between Sporulation and Competence in Bacillus Subtilis
… in these cells revealed key differences in the relative timing of differentiation programs. To investigate the importance of relative timing, I altered it by engineering artificial cross-regulatory links between the sporulation and competence genetic circuits. Results favor a simple model for …

ENHANCED 3D STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION OF THE EASTERN ARKOMA FOREDEEP
… structurally above the reactivated deep faults. Relative timing of faulting for the study area began with deep, down-to-the-southeast normal terrace faults. Continued deformation progressed with dextral-slip along the central NW/SE-trending deep fault. Reactivation of NE/SW-trending deep faults …

An ecological approach to researching biliteracy development of Indonesian bilingual children in Australian social contexts
… to explore individual differences related to relative timing of biliteracy acquisition as well as age, personality, gender and experiences. Not only does this study provide insights that can challenge current educational policy in Indonesia, which discourages childhood bilingualism in the …

Geometry and construction history of a complex intrusive center in the shallow crust, Mount Pennell, Henry Mountains, Utah
… intrusions grow from incremental emplacement of relatively small batches of magma. The Henry Mountains have been the subject of investigation because multiple, well-exposed intrusive centers are present on the Colorado Plateau. Mount Pennell is an asymmetric intrusive center in the Henry …

Coincidence detection in the cochlear nucleus : implications for the coding of pitch
… cochlear regions and are sensitive to their relative timing. One possible mechanism for this extraction is cross-frequency coincidence detection (CD), in which a central neuron converts the degree of cross-frequency coincidence in the AN into a rate response by preferentially firing when its …

Initial deposition in the Sevier foreland basin of southern Nevada: Conglomerates of the Cretaceous Willow Tank Formation, Clark County, Nevada
… Canyon, Dry Lake or Muddy Mountain thrusts. The relative timing of movement on these latter three thrusts cannot be determined from the conglomerate composition because they all carry similar Paleozoic limestone sequences; Conglomerate and sandstone lithofacies represent deposition by aggrading …

An attampt to measure the electron temperature of a Xenon Chloride excimer laser discharge plasma by Thomson scattering
An electronic timing system was developed so that a commercial Nd:YAG regenerative amplifier could be triggered remotely with a BNC cable and pushbutton switch. This system was used to accurately time a Xenon Chloride transverse discharge laser to the short, high power Nd:YAG pulse to within 5 ns. …

Magmatic-hydrothermal evolution of the Tuvatu alkalic epithermal Au-Telluride deposit, Viti Levu, Fiji
… magmatic-hydrothermal system and to identify the relative timing of Au mineralization. Eight vein types have been identified, including four porphyry-style veins which formed at higher temperatures and larger pressures, and four epithermal-style veins associated with shallow Au mineralization. The …
