A new monotypic genus and a new free-living edaphic species of the family Eviphididae, Loricaseius lepontinus gen. nov., sp. nov., are described on the basis of adults and deutonymphs collected from litter detritus in the Italian Lepontine Alps (Piemonte, Val d'Ossola). The new genus is characterized by a widened and truncate idiosomal vertex with widely spaced setae j2, peritrematal shields ex...

The local granular rheology is investigated numerically in turbulent bedload transport. Considering spherical particles, steady uniform configurations are simulated using a coupled fluid-discrete-element model. The stress tensor is computed as a function of the depth for a series of simulations varying the Shields number, the specific density and the particle diameter. The results are analyzed ...

This paper reexamines differences found between income gradients in American and English children's health, in results originally published by Case, Lubotsky and Paxson (2002) for the US, and by Currie, Shields and Wheatley Price (2007) for England. We find that, when the English sample is expanded by adding three years of data, and is compared to American data from the same time period, the in...

This report addresses the controversy concerning the effectiveness of taxi shields (partitions) by using case study and statistical analysis. It answers questions concerning whether or not shields reduce assaults on taxi drivers and by inference taxi driver homicides. Following a city-wide shield mandate in 1996 case study data show that for the City of Baltimore the percentage of shielded taxi...
