Scale independence of till rheology
Representation of till rheology in glaciological models of ice motion over deformable sediments has, until now, focused largely on two end-member cases: (1) linear, or mildly non-linear, viscous rheology and (2) (nearly) plastic rheology. Most laboratory and in situ experiments support the latter model. Hindmarsh (1997) and Fowler (2002, 2003) proposed that experimental results represent the be...
متن کاملOn the rheology of till
The deformation of subglacial till is instrumental in causing certain glacier surges, the motion of rapid ice streams in ice sheets, and ice sheet surges which are associated with Heinrich events, and consequent rapid climatic shifts, during the last ice age. It may also be the means whereby drumlins are formed, and these in turn may act as a brake on large scale ice flow. It is therefore impor...
متن کاملThe scale independence of evolution.
In this paper, I argue that the ultimate causes of morphological, and hence developmental, evolution are scale independent. In other words, micro- and macroevolutionary patterns show fundamental similarities and therefore are most simply explained as being caused by the same kinds of evolutionary forces. I begin by examining the evolution of single lineages and argue that dynamics of adaptive e...
متن کاملMicrorheology probes length scale dependent rheology.
We exploit the power of microrheology to measure the viscoelasticity of entangled F-actin solutions at different length scales from 1 to 100 microm over a wide frequency range. We compare the behavior of single probe-particle motion to that of the correlated motion of two particles. By varying the average length of the filaments, we identify fluctuations that dissipate diffusively over the fila...
متن کاملScale Independence in Marking Menus
This paper describes how marking menus use an explicit recognizer to support menu selection using marks. A key property of the recognizer is scale independence: recognition of marks drawn at any size. We hypothesize that scale independence contributes to fast selections and reduces the effort required. To test this hypothesis, we present an experiment to examine the effects of scale on mark dra...
