The region of the eastern North Pacific coastline dominated by the California Current was surveyed annually from 2001–2003 to examine (1) benthic macro-invertebrate and algal populations, (2) the magnitude and patterns of key environmental variables, and (3) how dynamic populations and communities of macroalgae and invertebrates respond to spatial differences in nearshore geomorphology, wave dy...

The tune course of liver phosphorylase activation after catecholamine administration and the relative abilities of several adrenergic blocking agents to block catecholamine-induced phosphorylase activation in liver and skeletal muscle was studied in intact anesthetized rats. Subcutaneously injected epinephrine and norepinephrine increased the liver phosphorylase activity, the peak effect occurr...

Using direct numerical simulations of turbulent channel flow, we present a new method for skin friction reduction by prevention of streamwise vortex formation near the wall. Based on recent evidence of streak instability-induced vortex generation, we develop a new technique for drag reduction, enabling large-scale flow forcing without requiring instantaneous flow information. As proof-of-princi...

It is often considered that English is Trochaic at the foot level (and this may explain the tendency to leftward-ho! stress shift at the word level), but that at the higher levels a syntactically based Iambic broad-focus pattern dominates. The presence of Trochaic patterns at the higher level has then either to be explained by information structured stress shifts(de-accentuation of back-ground ...

Carey’s (1985) book on conceptual change and the accompanying argument that children’s biology initially is organized in terms of naïve psychology has sparked a great detail of research and debate. This body of research on children’s biology has, however, been almost exclusively been based on urban, majority culture children in the US or in other industrialized nations. The thesis of this paper...
