The Evolution of a Commercial Landscape: A Case Study of the Motels Along U.S. Highway 31-W
… environment. Many decisions are made that have rippling effects over time. One type of development that changes the landscape is transportation innovation. As improved transportation links are introduced, people change their movement to include the quicker, more efficient route. As movement …

Methods for Testing Transport Theories
… namely, drift waves, resistive ballooning, and rippling modes added to a fixed level of neoclassical transport. The purpose of this work is to calibrate the proposed model against existing L-mode energy confinement time data.

Using Deep Learning to Extract Multicellular Aggregation Features of Myxococcus xanthus
… analysis of multicellular patterns such as rippling waves. We also introduce a deep learning framework for quantitative phenotypic analysis, integrating ResNet and StyleGAN2 into a Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs), and using Siamese architectures as the similarity metric. This pipeline …

Did The Pandemic Lockdowns Affect The Welfare of The Sumatran Orangutans (Pongo abelii) At The Toronto Zoo?
… pandemic led to unprecedented lockdowns with rippling impacts on the lives of humans and animals alike. Fortunately, these lockdowns also presented the opportunity to study the relationship of visitor presence with the welfare of zoo-housed animals as natural experiments. The reduction of …

Becoming more human: a phenomenological exploration of embodied emotional awareness in psychotherapy
… when we become more embodied it has a rippling effect on others. The implication for psychotherapy and counselling psychology is that they need to reintegrate the body into its core practice and training, and as psychotherapists become more embodied, this gets transmitted and supports …

Selective transport properties in nanostructured materials
… of Stone-Wales defects, the effect of rippling on the thermal conductivity is isolated. We also calculated the thermal and electrical transport properties of rippled graphene nanobuds and evaluate their thermoelectric efficiency. While looking into practical approaches to achieve …

CsgA, a putative signal molecule of the myxobacterium Stigmatella aurantiaca involved in fruiting : characterization of the csgA gene and influence of csgA inactivation on development
… of the csgA gene completely abolished rippling of the cells. This indicates the crucial role of the CsgA protein in regulating this rhythmic behaviour. S. aurantiaca csgA mutant cells do not produce CsgA but they are able to respond to it when mixed with wild type cells. Mixing the …

Local scour at bridge piers
… planar. In live-bed conditions, the effect of rippling diminishes for increasing velocity and becomes negligible for UO/UOC > 2. The experimental results for the variation of equilibrium scour depth with flow depth show that the trend for live-bed scour of increasing scour depth with increasing …

Mechanical self-assembly of deformed 2D materials for advanced functionalities
… the atomic thinness of 2D materials leads to rippling, wrinkling, and folding at the surface during synthesis and transfer processes. Those out-of-plane deformations are neither organized nor controllable structures, and therefore, they have often been considered inevitable defects. However, …

Shock compressing liquids on a tabletop microscope, with special focus on detonating nitromethane
… by the reflection/refraction of light from the rippling surface of water, referred to as caustics. Under high pressure and temperature, NM becomes significantly more acidic wherein initiation of detonation is hypothesized to occur via an intermolecular proton transfer reaction. This reaction can …

Structural and thermal properties of graphene - boron nitride superlattice
Interfaces and their atomic structure play a key role in two–dimensional materials such as the graphene - boron nitride (C-BN) superlattices. C-BN superlattices with regular ordered subdomains of graphene and boron nitride have recently been synthesized and characterized as a potential candidate …
