Material frame representation of equivalent stress tensor for discrete solids
In this paper, we derive expressions for equivalent Cauchy and Piola stress tensors that can be applied to discrete solids and are exact for the case of homogeneous deformation. The main principles used for th...

Characterization of nine polymorphic microsatellite loci in Chorocaris sp. (Crustacea, Caridea, Alvinocarididae) from deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Species in the genus Chorocaris are caridean shrimp found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents at mid-ocean spreading centers. Nine unlinked polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for this Chorocaris sp. 2 f...

Electron Transport Properties of InN
High-energy particle irradiation has been used to control the free electron concentration and electron mobility in InN by introducing native point defects that act as donors. A direct comparison between theore...

Effect of superalloy substrate composition on the performance of a thermal barrier coating system
An investigation was carried out to determine the performance of a thermal barrier coating system consisting of (ZrO2-8% Y2O3)/(Pt) on two single-crystal Ni-base superalloys. Coating/alloy behavior was studied wi...

Analyses of Pt/Ti Electrodes for Plzt Capacitors
A suitable choice of an electrode material is important for an acceptable electrical contact to a high-permittivity dielectric, such as PLZT. A material which does not form a low-permittivity oxide is necessar...

Reproductive Strategies for the Seasonal Tropics
Because seasonality in tropical habitats is controlled primarily by variations in rainfall rather than variations in temperature, it is frequently less predictable in timing, and spatially more patchy than sea...

Behavioural evolution in the cabbage butterfly (Pieris rapae)
Australian and U.K. Pieris rapae differ markedly in their oviposition behaviour; U.K. females produce a more aggregated egg distribution, and lay their eggs more quickly, than do Australian females. The adaptive ...
