We Sink Beneath the Sand
<p><em>We Sink Beneath the Sand</em> is a memoir that explores the desire for control in the face of abandonment. A few days before the narrator’s eleventh birthday, her older brother, then a sixteen-year-old boy, walks out of the front door of their home and never returns. For over a decade, the …

Preference Games and Sink Equilibria
… have a natural choice of solution concept: the sink equilibria, which are the sink strongly connected components of this graph. These exist in all games, and generalise pure Nash equilibria. We argue that preference games and sink equilibria form a predictive and well-founded model of strategic …

Until We Sink and other stories
<p>What follows is a short story manuscript by Christina Marie Glessner. Each of the stories take place in a fictionalized version of the authors hometown, Carbondale, in northeastern Pennsylvania, home of the first underground coal mines in the nation. The stories explore life in a town wrought by …

Experiments in a rotating source-sink annulus
… the different flow regimes in a rotating source-sink annulus is described. Both the steady and transient velocities are measured over a large range of Ekman Reynolds number and Rossby number. Differing probe configurations are used to investigate the corresponding motions in spatially separated …

Sink-pulled simulation of the maize crop
… kernel weight is predicted without simulating sink demand of the kernels. The major goal of this research is to develop a physiologically sound model to simulate vegetative and reproductive growth of maize;The objectives of this study are: (1) to develop a subroutine to predict maize vegetative …

2.672 experiment design : heat sink fin configurations
… experiment, students will optimize a heat sink for a certain type of rack-mount server. For a correct execution of the experiment, students will test the power dissipation of several different heat sinks against a model for how they should behave using principles of incompressible flow, …

Investigating the sink efficiencies of interfaces under irradiation
… in polycrystals. Interfaces serve as sinks, sources or trap sites for vacancies, which facilitate creep, can drive interface migration, or serve as a vacancy-interstitial recombination site that results in an ideal lattice. This latter role provides a general approach to design …

AGRICULTURAL SMALL WATER BODIES: CARBON SOURCE OR CARBON SINK?
… landmass is thought to be a major greenhouse gas sink (GHG), and while freshwaters were thought to be neutral entities, they may in fact be potent producers and emitters of CO2 and CH4. Little is known about their contribution to the global carbon budget, especially in agricultural landscapes. …

Air flow in a high aspect ratio heat sink
… requires concomitant advances in heat sinking technology: reductions in thermal resistance and required pumping power are necessary. This research covers the development of a novel type of air-cooled heat sink, in particular the air flow through such a heat sink. The research is carried …

Variability of the Global Ocean Carbon Sink (1998 through 2011)
In this thesis a newly developed 2–step neural network approach is used to reconstruct basin–wide monthly maps of the sea surface partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) at a resolution of 1��1� for both the Atlantic Ocean from 1998 through 2007 and the global ocean from 1998 through 2011. From those, …

Testing the metabolic sink postulate: subcutaneous adipose tissue the protective depot
… adipose depot functions as a "metabolic sink" to sequester and store lipid from circulation, preventing ectopic deposition. Therefore, an individual with high overall fat mass primarily located in the lower body subcutaneous adipose depots could be metabolically healthy while obese. While …

Signal transduction during defense response and source-sink transition in tomato
… some common elements. Both the induction of sink metabolism and defense response is dependent on signal transduction pathways involving protein phosphorylation. Furthermore, regulation of extracellular invertase (INV) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) which are markers for sink metabolism …

Implementing Sink Mobility and Recharging Policies Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
… the lowest powered node in the network at each sink iteration increased the lifetime of the WSN by 538% when compared to no recharging. I also further investigate the potential uses of a WSN and UAV for detecting and deterring animals. Using wireless sensor nodes to initially detect movement, …
