Recent archival and experimental research by Ryan and Haslam has revealed the phenomenon of the glass cliff whereby women are more likely than men to be appointed to risky or precarious leadership positions in problematic organizational circumstances. This paper extends research on the glass cliff by examining the precariousness of the cases women are assigned in a legal context. An experimenta...

We show that the Morita equivalences Cliff(4) ' H, Cliff(7) ' Cliff(−1), and Cliff(8) ' R arise from quantizing the Hamiltonian reductions R0|4//Spin(3), R//G2, and R0|8//Spin(7), respectively.

The various situations representing coastal cliffs of Haute Normandy are tested on numerical models. The parameters taken into account are: the lithology of chalks and the presence or absence of fractures. It is a question of specifying the mechanical characteristics of chalk and the inside of the fractures. The chalk cliff of 80m height, with a vertical cliff face, is modeled in distinct eleme...

-Cliff Swallow (Hirundo pyrrhonota) chicks were played calls of parents and unrelated (control) adults at 9 and 18 days of age. Younger chicks showed no difference in the frequency of their antiphonal begging calls to parental vs. control calls. The older, nearfledging chicks, however, responded significantly more to parental calls than to control calls: 78% of their total antiphonal calls were...
