The role of actomyosin contractility in zebrafish neural tube formation through hollowing.
… centre of a solid rod and the tube opens through hollowing. The zebrafish hindbrain forms via a secondary-like mechanism, making it an ideal in vivo model to study hollowing lumen formation. While the role of actomyosin contractility is well understood in primary neurulation, for example through …

Lightweight Structures Enabled By Microfabrication
… lightweight structures are explored: (1) hollowing, (2) folding, and (3) lightweight composites. The first strategy is demonstrated by creating a hollow flexural atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilever. The hollow cantilevers are made by conformally depositing a thin layer of alumina on a …

INCREASE IN 1RM BACK SQUAT AFTER ABDOMINAL STABILIZING MANEUVERS
… back pain. Abdominal bracing (AB) and abdominal hollowing (AH) are two stabilizing maneuvers that increase IAP. Previous literature primarily compared AH and AB in therapy settings on bodyweight single joint movements. The effect of AB and AH during a multi-joint movement involving a maximum or …

Education Reform in England and the Transformation of School Teachers’ Working Lives: A Labour Process Perspective
… amalgamates labour process theory with the hollowing out thesis, making key theoretical, conceptual, empirical and methodological contributions, alongside practical recommendations.

QUALIFICATION MISMATCH AND OCCUPATIONAL CHANGE: THE ROLE OF DEMAND, SUPPLY AND INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS IN EXPLAINING CROSS-NATIONAL VARIATIONS
… structure, and pessimism due to the “hollowing out” of susceptible to automation middle-skilled jobs and the growth in low-skilled jobs. Furthermore, the imperfect match between demand and supply resulted in an increasing phenomenon of qualification mismatch and overeducation, …

Dispatches from the transient city
… Another consequence of the crisis has been a hollowing out of the center of the city with vacant building stock increasing into the tens of thousands (Baboulias). This thesis takes the form of a manifesto that aims to replace the camp imaginary with correspondences from the transient city. The …

Why the garden club couldn't save Youngstown : social embeddedness and the transformation of the rust belt
… belt"; dual processes of deindustrialization and hollowing out pointed toward bleak futures. Yet, twenty years later, it is clear that the cities' economies have actually proceeded down dramatically divergent paths. Allentown has found itself on the high-road of economic change (Harrison and …

Heterogeneous Technological Changes and Their Impacts on Income Inequality and Productivity Growth
… This model can simultaneously account for the hollowing out of the middle class and the slow down in labour productivity growth, both of which were observed in the United States and most European countries in the recent past. I fully characterize the equilibrium of the model and derive …

Frictional oscillations in elastomeric sliding
… specimen in the direction of sliding, by hollowing it out caused the critical velocity to decrease. Thus the critical velocity for stick-slip could be changed without changing the viscoelastic properties.

Exchange rate policy options for Sri Lanka in the context of financial integration
… due to the advancement of what is known as the "hollowing out the middle hypothesis" according to which financial globalisation had made the intermediate exchange rate incompatible and therefore countries should move to either fixed or flexible corners. This re-ignited the age-old debate on the …

Shape-Engineering Substrate-Based Plasmonic Nanomaterials
… provided highlighting discoveries related to (i) hollowing, (ii) defect transfer, (iii) strain induction, (iv) interdiffusion, (v) crystal structure and (vi) the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The second series of investigations, based on heterogeneous nucleation, have Au templates …

Evolution and phenotypic diversification in serratia marcescens biofilms
… a process involving microcolony formation, hollowing of mature microcolonies, and a sudden biofilm expansion within a very short period (< 24h) resulting in an increase in biofilm biomass with a radiation of biofilm structures at days 3 to 4. The biofilm expansion phase consistently …

Modeling Brk/PTK6 expression in the mammary epithelium.
… HMEC cells expressing Brk underwent luminal hollowing (reliant on cell death) similar to normal mammary alveologenesis when cultured on Matrigel, but are partially resistant to doxorubicin treatment, suggesting a context dependent component to Brk-mediated survival. HGF, EGF, or IGF treatment …

Hollow condensates, topological ladders and quasiperiodic chains
… condensates show non-monotonic features at the hollowing-out point. We further determine that for fully hollow spherically symmetric BECs effects of Earth's gravity are very destructive and consequently focus on microgravity environments. Finally, we study quantized vortices on hollow condensate …

Trade and Spatial Economic Interdependence: U.S. Interregional Trade and Regional Economic Structure
This dissertation was motivated by the changing nature and structure of interregional trade within a country. Each region’s economic structural changes and new spatial organization of production generated by the fragmented production process made possible by an open economy with significantly lower …
