We, of course, remember him for his brilliant scientific career. However, I have received many comments from people who, upon hearing of his death, remarked along lines similar to these: “It’s the end of an...

I study large-eddy simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer on block structured non-uniform grids. This type of grid, which includes nested grids, is very popular in atmospheric science as a way of concentrating computational power. Large-eddy simulation is a widely used method of approximately solving incompressible Navier-Stokes in turbulent regimes, including the atmospheric boundary lay...

The authors explore the relationship between perceived efficacy, depth of processing, and message framing. They conduct two experiments on varying health-related issues: sexually transmitted disease and skin cancer. In both studies, the authors demonstrate that a low efficacy condition (i.e., when it is uncertain that following the recommendations will lead to the desired outcome) motivates mor...
