The incorporation of increasingly multidisciplinary aspects of geoscience curricula into a traditional geology field camp requires compromises. Among these, decisions about projects to reduce or eliminate and course ...

"This paper defines a new structural parameter called "Sequence-summation Factor" which may be used in the systematic calculation of "over-relaxation" factors for moment distribution processes. These sequence-summation factors are computed directly...

suggest the growth is stemming from higher industry-specific growth in the industries of specialization. Therefore, the diversified strategy hinges on gaining a certain level of specialization in the industries served by the office. I show the effect...

In the biomedical literature, gene pathways are frequently included. Many high-quality gene pathways are illustrated in the form of visuals and text, making them valuable study tools for biological processes and precision ...

The Newtonian regime of a recent nonlocal extension of general relativity is investigated. Nonlocality is introduced via a scalar “constitutive” kernel in a special case of the translational gauge theory of gravitation, namely, the teleparallel...
