Orogeny can be very short.
In contrast to continent/continent collision, arc-continent collision generates very short-lived orogeny because the buoyancy-driven impedance of the subduction of continental lithosphere, accompanied by arc/suprasubduction-zone ophiolite obduction, is relieved by subduction polarity reversal (flip). This tectonic principle is illustrated by the early Ordovician Grampian Orogeny in the British ...
متن کاملA little advice can be very helpful
Proving superpolylogarithmic lower bounds for dynamic data structures has remained an open problem despite years of research. Recently, Pǎtraşcu proposed an exciting new approach for breaking this barrier via a two player communication model in which one player gets private advice at the beginning of the protocol. He gave reductions from the problem of solving an asymmetric version of set-disjo...
متن کاملIntelligent Testing can be Very Lazy
Testing is a search process and a test suite is complete when the search has examined all the comers of the program. Standard models of test suite sizes are gross over-estimates ince they are unaware of the nature of that search space. For example, only a small part of the possible search space is ever exercised in practice. Further, a repeated result is that a few random searches often yields ...
متن کاملShort Communication Honeybees Can Be Trained to Respond to Very Small Changes in Geomagnetic Field Intensity
It has been demonstrated repeatedly (Kirschvink & Kirschvink, 1989; Walker et al. 1989; Walker & Bitterman, 1985, 1989) that free-flying honeybees can be trained to respond to local anomalies in the geomagnetic field, but none of the training methods previously available has been sensitive enough for threshold studies. Here we report some determinations of intensity thresholds with a new and mo...
متن کاملA Short Walk can be Beautiful
The story I tell is of research undertaken, with students and colleagues, in the last six or so years on short random walks. As the research progressed, my criteria for ‘beauty’ changed. Things seemingly remarkable became ‘simple’ and other seemingly simple things became more remarkable as our analytic and computational tools were refined, and understanding improved.
