Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

Structural Characterization of E22G Aβ1-42 Fibrils via 1H detected MAS NMR by Golota, Natalie C., Michael, Brian, Saliba, Edward P., Linse, Sara, Griffin, Robert G.

“…Since the high surface activity of E22G-Aβ1–42 makes it difficult to obtain more than sparse quantities of fibrils, we employed 1H detected magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to characterize the protein. …”

Spatial structure of workplace and communication between colleagues: A study of E-mail exchange and spatial relatedness on the MIT campus by Sevtsuk, Andres, Chancey, Bahij, Basu, Rounaq, Mazzarello, Martina

“…Our findings suggest that (a) people whose offices are closer to each other by walking are more likely to exchange E-mails, (b) on the campus as a whole, people who are more likely to walk past each other’s offices on the way to or from work are more likely to exchange E-mails, and (c) people who share access to similar eating venues around their offices are more likely to exchange E-mails. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…Molten polymer within a holding cup with a tiny orifice below is drawn by a needle and stuck onto a spinning mandrel for collection. As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

Effects of maze appearance on maze solving by Semizer, Yelda, Yu, Dian, Wan, Qianqian, Balas, Benjamin, Rosenholtz, Ruth

“…As mazes are typically complex, cluttered stimuli, solving them is likely limited by visual crowding. Thus, several aspects of the appearance of the maze – the thickness, spacing, and curvature of the paths, as well as the texture of both paths and walls – likely influence the performance. …”

E-commerce regulation and trader compliance: a comparative and empirical inquiry by Pflücke, F

“…The ambition of the thesis is to define and measure the levels of compliance and to test four hypotheses: (H1) traders do not comply in full with their legal obligations; (H2) large traders are more likely to be compliant compared to SMEs; (H3) traders that are older are more likely to be compliant compared to companies that were incorporated more recently; (H4) traders that base their terms and conditions on pre-drafted standard contract terms are more likely to be in compliance with the selected legal obligations. …”
