Internal Tides and Internal Solitary Waves in the Northern South China Sea
, 2009 Large-amplitude internal solitary waves (ISWs) are frequently observed in the northern South China Sea (SCS). In a project sponsored by the US Office of Naval Research, four moorings were deployed between the Luzon Strait and the Chinese continental ...

Gender &History, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article considers travel writings by metropolitan men in Republican China about Shanxi and western Inner Mongolia as a case study to further explore the transformations and continuities of Chinese masculinities. Drawing upon a range of popular travel narratives, it shows that so‐called “Worn‐Out Shoes (poxie)” – women perceived as ...

Subjective Social Inequalities, Lay Perceptions of Merit and Puzzles of Explanation
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite rising socioeconomic inequalities most people see individualised merit as crucial for social success. Drawing on surveys such as the ISSP a wealth of research examines trends in subjective perceptions, the relative importance accorded to merit and non‐merit factors for getting ahead in life and factors which influence lay perceptions ...

A “Tech First” Approach to Foreign Policy? The Three Meanings of Tech Diplomacy
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Scholars have recently argued that international politics is plagued by instability as the world rapidly transitions from one crisis to another. This state of “Permacrisis,” or permanent crises between states, is driven by technological innovations which create new kinds of crises and drive competitions between adversarial states.

Trace Element Patterns in Juvenile Wild Chimpanzee Dentitions
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Trace elements are used to infer mammalian early‐life diets, environmental toxins, dispersal patterns, stress histories, and weaning ages. Here, we employ laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) to reveal elemental patterns in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees.

The transformation of an interfacial solitary wave of elevation at a bottom step [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2009 In this paper we study the transformation of an internal solitary wave at a bottom step in the framework of two-layer flow, for the case when the interface lies close to the bottom, and so the solitary waves are elevation waves.

上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2018 A higher-order model describing nonlinear internal waves is governed by a partial differential equation system. By using the method of dynamical systems, in this paper, we show that there exist parameter groups such that this system has exact periodic ...

Internal solitary waves in a variable medium [PDF]
, 2006 In both the ocean and the atmosphere, the interaction of a density stratified flow with topography can generate large-amplitude, horizontally propagating internal solitary waves.

Child &Family Social Work, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rural Chinese adolescents face significant mental health challenges shaped by cumulative risks across ecological systems, particularly individual, family and peer domains. However, the underlying mechanism linking cumulative risk to mental health problems remains insufficiently explored.

Trajectories of Mother-Child Closeness and Child Behavioural and Emotional Outcomes in Families of Children With Intellectual Disabilities. [PDF]
J Intellect Disabil ResABSTRACT Background Children with intellectual disabilities display fewer prosocial behaviours and increased behavioural and emotional problems compared to children without intellectual disabilities. Mother–child closeness may be an important factor in improving behavioural and emotional outcomes in children with intellectual disabilities over time. We
