Whole-earth decompression dynamics

Solar System Processes Underlying

Only three processes, operant during the formation of the Solar System, are responsible for the diversity of matter in the Solar System and are directly responsible for planetary internal-structures, including planetocentric nuclear fission reactors, and for dynamical processes, including and especially, geodynamics. These processes are: (i) Low-pressure, low-temperature condensation from solar...

Teaching Earth Dynamics: What’s Wrong with Plate Tectonics Theory

Textbooks frequently extol plate tectonics theory without questioning what might be wrong with the theory or without discussing a competitive theory. How can students be taught to challenge popular ideas when they are only presented a one-sided view? In a just a few pages, I describe more than a century of geodynamic ideas. I review what is wrong with plate tectonics theory and with Earth expan...

NMR studies reveal that protein dynamics critically mediate aggregation of the well-folded and very soluble E. coli S1 ribosomal protein

Well-Balanced Successive Simple-9 for Inverted Lists Compression

The growth in the amount of information available on the Internet and thousands of user queries per second brings huge challenges to the index update and query processing of search engines. Index compression is partially responsible for the current performance achievements of existing search engines. The selection of the index compression algorithms must weigh three factors, i.e., compression r...
