Obliquity influences the latitudinal position of Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). However, specific forcing mechanism remains unclear due to scarcity long-term and high-resolution precipitation records from Indo-Pacific region. Here, we present a new, extended, (∼2 kyr) record covering past ∼410 kyr marine sedimentary sequence collected at southern margin ITCZ's displacement within By int...

The complexity of health care environments is far too complicated for solutions to be developed by a small group or isolated upper managers. This direct leadership approach often fails. Leaders who use a more oblique approach focusing on areas such as long-term economic value, creating significant benefits for the wider community, and building robust social capital within the company are succes...

The influence of prejudice on perception should be greatest when certainty about stimulus identity is least. We exploited this relationship to reveal visual biases for the cardinal orientations: vertical and horizontal. Specifically, when we increased the variance of orientations in an array of grating patches, estimates of the mean became less oblique. This result is consistent with a stable p...

13  Abstract-In this study, the wok is carried out to analyzed, the stresses of plate with oblique hole with the Finite Element Analysis. Stress analysis of a series of flat plates with oblique holes subjected to axial tension has been carried out using the finite element method (FEM). Different plate hole diameter-width ratios, angles of hole obliquity have been considered to provide stress c...

Long-term variations in Northern Hemisphere summer insolation are generally thought to control glaciation. But the intensity of summer insolation is primarily controlled by 20,000-year cycles in the precession of the equinoxes, whereas early Pleistocene glacial cycles occur at 40,000-year intervals, matching the period of changes in Earth's obliquity. The resolution of this 40,000-year problem ...
