Active and Passive Settling By Marine Benthic Nematodes
<p>This study investigates whether active processes participate in the settlement of marine benthic nematodes. The settling rates of three estuarine benthic nematode taxa were examined in a linear flume using two treatments defined by the type of sediment bed placed in the flume. One treatment bed …

Periglacial landforms and processes in the southern Kenai Mountains, Alaska
… hollows are relic features which have been inactive for a considerable time. The turf-banked sorted steps and large gelifluction lobes probably were active until the very recent thawing of permafrost. Cryofraction and frost sorting still are vigorous active processes.</p> <p>Finely jointed …

Ion and Amino Transport in Rabbit Kidney Tissue in Tissue Culture Media
… environment. It is generally accepted that an active metabolic process is involved. Hoffman (1) and Post (2) in reviews present adequate evidence that an active process transporting Na and K is present in the erythrocyte membrane. Keynes in a symposium (3) spoke of the same process existing in …

Nature and Culture in Prehistoric Amazonia : Using G.I.S. to reconstruct ancient ethnogenetic processes from archaeology, linguistics, geography, and ethnohistory
… reconstructions of pre-Columbian socio-cultural processes in the region. These reconstructions focus on identifying the socio-economic and socio-cultural mechanisms underlying processes of cultural and linguistic expansion and subsequent patterns of ethno-linguistic diversity. The thesis thus …

Entangled Relationships Illustrated Through Parasitic Plants
… both painting and drawing, and my utilization of active processes such as editing and layering. Correlations are revealed between the layering of paint and marks and the layers of hidden emotions found through the use of color, mark making, and composition which highlight how my interest in …

Visual memory for recent information
… make this contribution it should neither require active processes for its maintenance nor be overwritten by subsequent visual events. There is little evidence for a visual memory with these characteristics. However, the single-item visual recency effect observed in the continuous binary decision …

The social and gender identity of gatherer-hunters and herders in the Southwestern Cape
… Khoi herders and San gatherer-hunters. I use the active processes of identity formation and maintenance to argue that both the isolationist and revisionist arguments have simplified the concepts of identity, where identity is seen to have a passive role in interaction. I argue that identity is …

Residential mobility, work and belonging in low-income communities
… relate to the places in which they live and the active processes of distinction that are used in order to construct a place in which they can belong and adjust in-situ to a changing labour market backdrop.

Love and marriage in Labour and Conservative party cultures, 1918-1970
… perspective that the majority of politically active women were married, and they were often married to another political activist. Particularly in local government, it shows that many husbands and wives stood for their local councils and ran their local parties together. The thesis asserts …

Wissenschaft im Bild : performative Aspekte des Bildes in Prozessen wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisgewinnung und -vermittlung
… of these images. Knowledge-constituting processes as well as processes regarding the dissemination of knowledge are seen as active processes, which interact with the environment. So-called ‘soft’ criteria are of particular importance, such as styles of thought, social influences, and …

Theoretical aspects of motor protein induced filament depolymerisation
Many active processes in cells are driven by highly specialised motor proteins, which interact with the cytoskeleton: a network of filamentous structures, e.~g.~ actin filaments and microtubules, which organises intracellular transport and largely determines the cell shape. These motor proteins are …

Perceptions of Positive Growth Following Breast Cancer in Survivor Couples
… mutually perceived survivorship and growth as active processes that involved learning. Descriptions of growth illustrated the rebuilding of altered assumptions and perceptions of transformation beyond the pre-diagnosis ways of living and relating. Findings from this study expand the existing …

Experimental and Computational Modelling of Tissue Rheology and Mechanics in Morphogenesis
… interact with tissue material properties and active cell behaviour to drive tissue deformation in the context of biological development. Firstly, an experimental, three-dimensional tissue model is presented, which consists of giant unilamellar vesicles decorated with cell-cell linker …

Investigation of the Function of the Olivocochlear Efferent Nerve Pathway in Humans
… An important part of this transduction is an active process whereby the passive resonant characteristics are enhanced, leading to greater sensitivity and frequency selectivity. A population of sensory cells, called the outer hair cells, are the primary effectors of the active process, and can …

Mathematical modelling of growth, reorganisation and active response in cells and tissues
… mechanics affects the cellular and sub-cellular processes, represents a prominent example in which a combination of efforts from several disciplines is fundamental. The contribution of mathematical models to the description of biomedical phenomena can provide a notable support to the research …

Prozessorientiertes Facility Management in verteilten Umgebungen
… An integration of facility management in the active processes of an enterprise or an enterprise group will be substantially supported by the introduction of an efficient, flexible and future-safe computer aided facility management system. But still no universal standards were established in …

Movements of molecular motors : diffusion and directed walks
Bewegungen von prozessiven molekularen Motoren des Zytoskeletts sind durch ein Wechselspiel von gerichteter Bewegung entlang von Filamenten und Diffusion in der umgebenden Lösung gekennzeichnet. Diese eigentümlichen Bewegungen werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit untersucht, indem sie als Random Walks …
