A reanalysis of identified muon neutrino interactions from IMB 3 yields bounds on sin 2 (2θ) and ∆m 2. The limit sin 2 (2θ) < 0.72 is in conflict with the recent announcement of a neutrino mass. 1 Atmospheric neutrinos have always held the possibility of providing a large range of propagation coupled with a near source to provide a convenient calibration. With a reasonable choice of angular cut...

The present research used correlational and experimental methods and two well-established social comparison paradigms to integrate and extend prior research from the achievement goal and social comparison literatures. In Study 1, a general disposition to engage in social comparison was positively correlated with each type of goal in the 2 × 2 model of achievement goals, suggesting that the desi...

Comparing oneself with others is an important characteristic of human social life, but the link between human and non-human forms of social comparison remains largely unknown. The present study used a computerized task presented in a social context to explore psychological mechanisms supporting social comparison in baboons and compare major findings with those usually observed in humans. We fou...

Analytical and numerical methodologies are combined to investigate the flow fields that approach and pass around the lateral flagellum of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii. Two cases are considered, the first being that of a free-flicking flagellum and the second corresponding to a flagellum fixed inside a small bore tube. The first case is the natural one while the second corresponds to the exp...

Progressive collapse of reinforced concrete flat plate systems can be significantly influenced by the post-punching performance their slab–column joints under large deformations. This work presents a series static tests on four joint specimens with slab in-plane restraint. The effects different punching directions (upward and downward) embedded beams were studied. test results reveal that load-...

The present study investigates how the CNS deals with the omnipresent force of gravity during arm motor planning. Previous studies have reported direction-dependent kinematic differences in the vertical plane; notably, acceleration duration was greater during a downward than an upward arm movement. Although the analysis of acceleration and deceleration phases has permitted to explore the integr...
