Very light magnetized jets on large scales - I. Evolution and magnetic fields
(2009-12-21)
Magnetic fields, which are undoubtedly present in extragalactic jets and responsible for the observed synchrotron radiation, can affect the morphology and dynamics of the jets and their interaction with the ambient cluster ...
The role of Type Ia Supernovae in chemical evolution 1 : Lifetime of Type Ia Supernovae and metallicity effect
(2009-12-20)
We construct a new model of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia), based on the single degenerate scenario, taking account of the metallicity dependences of white dwarf (WD) wind and the mass-stripping effect on the binary companion ...
Transplantation of organic surface horizons of boreal soils into warmer regions alters microbiology but not the temperature sensitivity of decomposition
(2009-12-16)
Changes in soil carbon, the largest terrestrial carbon pool, are critical for the global carbon cycle, atmospheric CO2 levels and climate. Climate warming is predicted to be most pronounced in the northern regions and ...
Leaf litter decomposition-Estimates of global variability based on Yasso07 model
(2009-12-10)
Litter decomposition is an important process in the global carbon cycle. It accounts for most of the heterotrophic soil respiration and results in formation of more stable soil organic carbon (SOC) which is the largest ...
Aryldiketo acids have antibacterial activity against MDR Staphylococcus aureus strains : Structural insights based on similarity and molecular interaction fields
(2009-12-07)
(Chemical Equation Presented) Similar structure=similar activity? The effect of substituents on the antibacterial activity of aryldiketo acids has been rationalised by molecular interaction fields and similarity studies ...
A selective-abstraction modeling approach for simplifying computer network studies
(IEEE, 2009-12-01)
Modeling and simulation technique is an essential skill on the pathway of learning and researching computer networks. However, the complexity and scale of the network nowadays often challenges the modeling techniques, as ...
The influence of Ammonia on the electrical properties of detonation nanodiamond
(2009-12-01)
Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) are an interesting class of materials for sensing applications, but little is currently understood about their electrical properties. Here, aggregated DNDs are explored with impedance ...
The Direction of Union Mergers in the United States : The Rise of Conglomerate Unionism
(2009-12)
Trade union mergers have become common throughout the industrial world. In the United States, since the late 1970s, these have become increasingly multi-jurisdictional. Beginning in the 1990s, the trend has been dominated ...
The snowball effect : global sourcing as an accelerator of economic globalization
(2009-12)
Drawing on case studies of the strategies of global providers of outsourced business services, this article argues that the concept of ‘offshore outsourcing’ is no longer adequate to describe the restructuring of global ...
