Putting distance through cleansing : the mediating role of temporal distancing on the embodiment of moral purity by Nurul Mira Fatin Abdulkahar

“…More specifically, it is hypothesized that compared to individuals who do not clean their hands, those who do so after recalling a past immoral act would be more likely to temporally distance their present selves away from their past immoral selves so as to preserve favorable self-view, and hence are more likely to perceive their past moral transgressions as less severe than they would have normally believed. …”

Understanding single-protein fouling in micro- and ultrafiltration systems via machine-learning-based models by Tanudjaja, Henry Jonathan, Ng, Angie Qi Qi, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Membrane pore size is the most dominant influence on fouling followed by transmembrane pressure (TMP), while membrane configuration (i.e., flat-sheet, hollow fiber, or tubular) is the least dominant. The NN model gives modest predictive capability despite inconsistencies and variabilities of the experimental setups and protocols, which invariably affects the important parameters in the database compiled from past publications. …”

The role of Holocene relative sea-level change in preserving records of subduction zone earthquakes by Dura, Tina, Engelhart, Simon E., Vacchi, Matteo, Horton, Benjamin Peter, Kopp, Robert E., Peltier, William Richard, Bradley, Sarah

“…In near-field regions that were located beneath northern hemisphere ice sheets (e.g., western Vancouver Island), RSL fall from a mid-Holocene highstand has limited prehistoric earthquake records to the last 1 ka. In intermediate field regions (e.g., southern Washington and central Oregon), gradual RSL rise over the last ∼7 ka has preserved widespread records of prehistoric earthquakes. …”
