We present here a first step towards developing a quantitative model that relates investor emotions to financial markets. We used Wall Street Journal articles as a proxy of investor emotions on a "macro" level. We measured the emotional characteristic of…

We have derived a broad, deterministic model of the steady-state actin cycle that includes its major regulatory
mechanisms. Ours is the first model to solve the complete nucleotide profile within filaments, a feature that determines the
dynamics and geometry of…

Significant progress has been made in understanding
some of the basic mechanisms of force production and flow manipulation
in oscillating foils for underwater use. Biomimetic observations,
however, show that there is a lot more to be learned, since
many of…

We describe the general phenomenon of ‘induced-charge electro-osmosis’ (ICEO) –
the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs when an applied field acts on the ionic
charge it induces around a polarizable surface. Motivated by a simple physical picture,
we calculate ICEO…

The design and construction of a biomimetic flapping
foil autonomous underwater vehicle is detailed. The vehicle was
designed as a proof of concept for the use of oscillating foils as
the sole source of motive power for a cruising and…

The Deobandi `Ulama' of Jami`at al-`Ulum al-Islamiyya located in the largest city of Pakistan, Karachi, began publishing an Urdu, monthly journal by the name of Bayyinat in 1962 for the expressed purpose of refuting the views and arguments of their…

In this thesis, I describe how interactive journal writing was used to improve the understanding of mathematics, and to foster communication with two groups of remedial grade ten students. Mathematics is a gatekeeper course in high school, and students who…

The National Policies of Education in India have recognized the need for teacher professional development. However, science teachers continue to look for innovative methods to improve teaching. Through collaborative action research with four science teachers at a girls' school in…

Degradation Studies on Benzoxazinoids. Soil Degradation Dynamics of 2,4-Dihydroxy-7-methoxy-(2 H)-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4 H)-one (DIMBOA) and Its Degradation Products, Phytotoxic Allelochemicals from Gramineae

(Macías, Francisco A.; Oliveros, Alberto; Marín, David; Castellano, Diego; Simonet, Ana M. and Molinillo G., José M.)

This qualitative study investigates the consequences of advancing three preschoolers into kindergarten in the province of Quebec, where the derogation exemption enables younger children to start school before they reach the age of admission of five years by September 30th.…
