Spatial pattern of the shrub layer across the subarctic landscape of Churchill Manitoba
(2014-03)The shrub layer provides important habitat for wildlife throughout the harsh environment of the arctic tundra landscape. Studies have shown that the shrub layer is expanding in tundra landscapes and changing habitat ... -
Spatial Protection for Porbeagle Sharks, Lamna nasus, in the Northwest Atlantic: The Road to Recovery? [graduate project].
(2016)Sharks have dominated the seas as apex predators for more than 400 million years, but today they are being fished by humans at an unprecedented rate. Many of the biological characteristics of sharks make them particularly ... -
Spatial variation in right whale food, Calanus finmarchicus, in the Bay of Fundy
(2011)No abstract available. -
Spatiotemporal Patterns in Nest Box Occupancy by Tree Swallows Across North America
(2012-06)Data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) suggest that populations of aerial insectivorous birds are declining, particularly in northeastern regions of the continent, and particularly since the mid-1980s. ... -
Spatiotemporal variations of fCO(2) in the North Sea
(2010)Data from two Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) (2005-2007) augmented with data subsets from ten cruises (1987-2005) were used to investigate the spatiotemporal variations of the CO2 fugacity in seawater (fCO(2)(sw)) in the ... -
Special Conformal Killing Vector Space-Times and Symmetry Inheritance

The spectral effects of clouds on solar irradiance
(1998-12)Knowledge of the spectral attenuation associated with clouds is important for accurate estimates of natural irradiance at the Earth's surface. We compare spectral measurements of visible downwelling irradiance, under varying ... -
Spectral line shape of the P(2) transition in CO-Ar: Uncorrelated ab initio calculation
(2002-12)No abstract available. -
Spectrally weighted transparency in models of water-column photosynthesis and photoinhibition by ultraviolet radiation
(2004)We present a simple method for describing the influence of variable attenuation of spectral irradiance, Kd(lambda), on water-column photosynthesis and its inhibition by ultraviolet radiation (UV). The approach is based on ... -
Spectroscopic Characterisation of 250um-Selected Hyper-Luminous Star Forming Galaxies
(2010-09-28)We present near-infrared spectroscopic observations from VLT ISAAC of thirteen 250\mu m-luminous galaxies in the CDF-S, seven of which have confirmed redshifts which average to = 2.0 \pm 0.4. Another two sources of the 13 ... -
A spectroscopic survey of EC4, an Extended Cluster in Andromeda's halo
(2009-03-26)We present a spectroscopic survey of candidate red giant branch stars in the extended star cluster, EC4, discovered in the halo of M31 from our CFHT/MegaCam survey, overlapping the tidal streams, Stream Cp and Stream Cr. ... -
Speed impairs attending on the left: Comparing attentional asymmetries for neglect patients in speeded and unspeeded cueing tasks
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2012-21)No abstract available. -
Spherically Smooth Cathode Particles by Mechanofusion Processing
(The Electrochemical Society, 2019-08-27)Surface modification has been shown to be useful for improving the cycling performance of cathode materials. Typically hetero-compositional coatings are applied on cathode particle surfaces using methods, such as aqueous ... -
Spin correlations in the low-density electron system
(1993-02/15)The authors have calculated the spin susceptibility x(q,) within a microscopic model over the full range of densities of the electron liquid in the paramagnetic state. Electron-electron interactions are described by static ... -

Spin waves and quantum criticality in the frustrated XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet Er2Ti2O7
(2008-10)We report detailed measurements of the low temperature magnetic phase diagram of Er2Ti2O7. Heat capacity and time- of- flight neutron scattering studies of single crystals reveal unconventional low- energy states. Er3+ ... -
Spin-dependent transport in Fe and Fe/Au multilayers
(APS through AIP, 2005-06/01)In situ resistance measurements of epitaxial Fe layers and Au/Fe bilayers were used to quantify the scattering in giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin valve structures. The semiclassical Boltzmann transport equation, ... -
Spitzer identifications and classifications of submillimeter galaxies in giant, high-redshift Lyman-alpha emission-line nebulae
(2007-01-20)Using Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC (3.6-8um) and MIPS (24um) imaging, as well as Hubble Space Telescope optical observations, we identify the IRAC counterparts of the luminous power sources residing within the two largest ... -
The Spitzer Space Telescope Extra-Galactic First Look Survey: 24 micron data reduction, catalog, and source identification
(2006-06)We present the reduction of the 24 micron data obtained during the first cosmological survey performed by the Spitzer Space Telescope (First Look Survey, FLS). The survey consists of a shallow observation of 2.5x2 sq deg ... -
Spot deformation and replication in the two-dimensional Belousov-Zhabotinski reaction in a water-in-oil microemulsion
