The huge digitization step that archives, publishers, and libraries are currently undertaking enables access to a vast amount of information for historians. Yet, this does not necessarily make life easier for historians, as the main problem remains how to find relevant sources in this sea of information. We present a case study demonstrating how automatic text analysis can aid historians in fin...

objective: an abrupt refusal by the infant to breastfeed is often called “nursing strike”. in fact a common reason for cessation of nursing is infant’s refusal to breast feed. this problem can often be overcome. this paper has aimed to identify the causes of “breast feeding refusal” or “nursing strike” in 6 month old infants visiting the east tehran health center for their scheduled vaccination...

The SH waves from 21 underground nuclear explosions at Pahute Mesa (NTS) were used to investigate tectonic release. The equivalent double-couple representation of the tectonic release, which was constrained by waveform modeling and the polarity of sP, is very similar for all the explosions. The average orientation is a right-lateral, strike-slip fault trending N15°W. Seismic moments were determ...

The determination of gait events such as heel strike and toe-off provide the basis for defining stance and swing phases of gait cycles. Two algorithms for determining event times for treadmill and overground walking based solely on kinematic data are presented. Kinematic data from treadmill walking trials lasting 20-45s were collected from three subject populations (healthy young, n=7; multiple...

the conductivity distribution across the trans-european suture zone (tesz) is presented based on the measurements along a 400 km northeastern directed profile, starting from the german-polish basin, crossing the tesz and ending at the east european craton. two-dimensional inversion was applied to magnetotelluric transfer functions and magnetovariational responses corresponding to 38 long-period...

To cope with steep losses in membership and eroding legal protections, some unions have begun to look outward for help. Scholars likewise point to broad-based coalitions as a potential route to labor’s revitalization. Yet surprisingly little is known about union coalition work, from when and why it occurs to what union allies typically bring to the table. We take up these issues with a unique d...

In 2012 August 11 (12:23 UTC) a moderate earthquake with MW=6.4 (USGS) occurred between Ahar and Varzaghan towns in Azarbayjan Province at northwest of Iran. After eleven minutes another earthquake shook the area with MW=6.2 (USGS). These consecutive earthquakes followed by intensive sequences of aftershocks whereas the strongest one had MW=5.3 (USGS). In data processing including depth modific...
