Consumers ' choice of credit/charge card by Lim, Susan Gim Peng, Low Wee Choo

“…Other areas of study were on developing demographic profiles of the responding cardholders based on the nature of card held, on whether these demographic variables have significant effects on their card choice and on how often credit settlement was used for a variety of activities like the purchase of food items, non-food items and travel and entertainment etc. …”

Analysis and mitigation of spatial integration errors for the material point method by Baumgarten, Aaron S., Kamrin, Ken

“…The material point method (MPM) is a robust numerical simulation approach for continuum mechanics problems involving large material deformations coupled to changing surface topographies. These types of problems are present in many different engineering contexts, from understanding the failure processes of earthen slopes to predicting the strengths and failure mechanisms of body armor to modeling the impact forces of waves in fluid tanks. …”

Negative density dependence promotes persistence of a globally rare yet locally abundant plant species Oenothera coloradensis by Stears, AE, Heidel, B, Paniw, M, Salguero-Gómez, R, Laughlin, DC

“…Consequently, several mechanisms have been proposed to explain their persistence, including negative density dependence, demographic compensation, vital rate buffering, asynchronous responses of subpopulations to environmental heterogeneity, and fine-scale source-sink dynamics. …”

‘I don’t care who joins my choir’: investigating attitudes to diversity and inclusivity in lower- and upper-voice choirs in the United Kingdom by MacGregor, E

“…Using descriptive statistics to show demographic trends and qualitative thematic analysis to identify experiences shared across choirs, we highlight how the development of some lower- and upper-voice choirs has been affected by a homogeneous demographic with limited recognition of – and, in some cases, resistance towards – wider societal issues of diversity and inclusivity. …”

Hydrous melting driven upwelling from the mantle transition zone in the Mongolia plateau revealed by receiver function analysis by He, Jing, Xu, Mijian, Wu, Qingju, Zhang, Fengxue
