Self-Preserving: Patterns Guiding the Experience of Interpersonal Conflict for Female Nursing Faculty
… within the context of the basic social process, self-preserving. Surviving conflict over the long term is viewed as a growth process that includes the learning of behaviors that are self-preserving. The implications of this study are that it provides a basis for further theory development related …

Fluctuating Pressure and Velocity Fields in the Near Field of a Round Jet (Turbulent, Shear Layer, Triple-Wire, Self-Preserving, Hot)
A new analysis algorithm for analyzing signals of a triple-wire anemometer probe is presented which describes the performance of the hot-wire probe and shows the ambiguity in interpretation of the three effective cooling velocities for a range of flow vector directions. Jorgensen's (1971) cooling …

An iterative cross-coupling based approach to the synthesis of peridinin and progress towards peridinin derivatives
… antilipoperoxidant because it may act through self-preserving mechanisms, unlike other carotenoids. We report the total synthesis of the protected form of a peridinin derivative lacking the butenolide functionality and contributions towards the development of a stereoretentive Suzuki-Miyaura …

Ontological Security: State Identity and Self-Image in the Digital Age
… insecurity. Ontological insecurity reveals itself in the contradictions in official state discourse regarding cyberspace. State security of self—preserving and maintaining the seemingly concrete and consistent nature of what a state is about, how the state is understood in relation to other …

Turbulence Structure Of Plane Surface Jets In A Current
… adjusted the pressure gradient and maintained self-similarity in the present experiments. This trend of self-similarity of velocity profiles deviated from the Gaussian distribution in the fully-developed region of surface jets. The self-similar near Gaussian velocity profiles have not been …

CBD & Ethanol Disrupt Early Embryonic Development
… receive sensory stimuli and produce appropriate, self-preserving responses that correspond to experience-based learning and are driven by the communication of dopamine. Many of these circuits lie within the endocannabinoid system (ECS). At the most basic level, the ECS drives homeostatic …

Modeling and Mapping Addiction in the Zebrafish, Danio rerio
… sensory stimuli to produce appropriate, self-preserving responses that underlie experience-based learning. In the most primitive vertebrates, dopamine release in neuronal circuits drives homeostatic behaviors, such as seeking nutrients, finding a mate, or avoiding danger. From agnathans …

Boundary layer development from transition provoking devices
… developing turbulent boundary layer approaches self- preserving conditions.<br/><br/>A general relation, based on local boundary layer parameters, has been developed for the estimation of the transitional skin friction coefficient and has been tested via momentum balance principles.<br/><br/>The …

Exploring foodscapes in Small Island Developing States through a transition lens: a mixed-methods investigation
… importance in strengthening social cohesion and preserving cultural identity. Through examining the dynamic patterns of these practices, I highlight a tension between self-preserving behaviours and a sense of community and collective well-being. Overall, I provide a foundation to preserve and …

Laser Doppler anemometry measurements of a confined turbulent water jet with a uniform background flow
… to the jet velocity, the jet will no longer be self-preserving. Thus, the objective is reached in the limit as the coflow approaches zero, but in the absence of reverse flow. In the present study, a jet with several slow coflows was examined to investigate this behavior, the data was …

Entropy, Energy and Dynamics of Coalescing Spherical and 1D Aerosols
… whereby the aerosol size spectrum achieves a self-preserving distribution (SPD). Although the existence of this SPD is well accepted, the transition to SPD has only been considered from a kinetic perspective. This dissertation primarily investigates the kinetics of aerosol collisions and is …

Gas-phase processes for carbon nanotubes production: catalyst synthesis and CNT reorientation dynamics
… deviation GSD = 1.15−1.38) than the default self-preserving PSDs (GSD= 1.46−1.48). A formation mechanism driven by positive ions was proposed and investigated with an aerosol dynamics model, which revealed that a unipolar charge fraction as small as 0.1% could significantly narrow the PSD. …
