Abstract In recent years, there has been significant growth in the sales of plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy products. However, it remains unclear whether these are actually reducing livestock-derived This paper examines relationship between one particular product – unflavored milk its alternative nondairy milk. Using data from a panel US consumers 2004 2018, I find that 1-gallon incr...

GPS and satellite technology for studies on wildlife have improved substantially over the past decade. It is now possible to collect fine-scale location data from migratory animals, animals that have previously been too small to deploy GPS devices on, and other difficult-to-study species. Often researchers and managers have formatted well-defined ecological or conservation questions prior to de...

It seems that Nietzsche was a brilliant thinker and person characterized by perceptions. He wrote acted very unconventionally. often moved between the trivial beautiful—the foolish good behavior, fiction reality, lies truth, kitsch avant-garde” (Buddensieg). embraces tombstones in Genoa, or Turin, horse. I discovered him as conceptual artist before art born. In my opinion, his thoughts, comment...

Reinforced carbon/carbon (RCC) is used to protect the wing leading edge and nose cap of the Space Shuttle Orbiter on re-entry. It is composed of a lay-up of carbon/carbon fabric protected by a SiC conversion coating. Due to the thermal expansion mismatch of the carbon/carbon and the SiC, the SiC cracks on cool-down from the processing temperature. The cracks act as pathways for oxidation of the...

Two-dimensional Finite Element Method simulations, which involve consideration of the nonlinearity of a material, have been conducted to gain understanding about the rigid-rigid polymer toughening concept we proposed. The simulation results for the plane stress condition indicate that as long as the inclusion phase possesses i) a 60% difference in the tangent modulus from that of the matrix at ...

The craze for miniaturization has swept o’er most every nation, but should a hand e’er so slightly tremble no micro-machine can it assemble: and so all those really small bits leave the technicians in fits and the hope for a lab on a chip might seem frightfully flip. Yet, while optical forces are weak they provide the control that we seek. When light’s holographically defined, HOT opportunities...

Access to information using the Internet has undergone dramatic change and expansion recently. The unrivaled success of the World Wide Web has altered the Internet from something approachable only by the initiated to something of a media craze – the information superhighway made manifest in the personal ‘home page.’ This paper surveys the beginnings of network information discovery and retrieva...
