By 1953 Martin Beckmann had formulated and analyzed the static, deterministic userequilibrium (UE) route choice model with variable origin-destination flows (demand) (Beckmann et al, 1956; Boyce, 2004). Twenty years later, Suzanne Evans (1973, 1976) proposed and analyzed an algorithm for solving a version of Beckmann’s model that corresponded to practitioner models with origin-destination (OD) ...

Database designers and students of computer science in tertiary institutions find it difficult to learn database theory in which database decomposition is a major aspect. This work presents a visualization tool to simplify the study of decomposition algorithms behaviours which would assist the students and database designers to decompose any relational schema with its functional dependencies in...

Recently, novel and uniform deformation-induced pattern transformations have been found in periodic elastomeric cellular solids upon reaching a critical value of applied load [Mullin, T., Deschanel, S., Bertoldi, K., Boyce, M.C., 2007. Pattern transformation triggered by deformation. Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 084301; Boyce, M.C., Prange, S.M., Bertoldi, K., Deschanel, S., Mullin, T., 2008. Mechanics...

Evidence indicates that maternal prenatal distress predicts problematic health and behavioral outcomes in children as well as infant/child cortisol levels and negative emotionality as reviewed here. Evidence that these physiological and behavioral characteristics themselves moderate environmental effects on development in a "for better and for worse" manner consistent with Belsky's differential...
