Substrate Influences on Incised‐Channel Morphology

The Journal of Geology, 2002
Abstract Surveys of channel geometry and substrate resistance along an incised ephemeral channel in southern India were used to examine the influence of substrate on channel geometry. The surveys indicate that as substrate resistance increases, the channel grows narrower and deeper, with undulating wall and bed topography, more localized erosion in the

Measuring substrate influence

2012
Word order characteristics of the Ibero-Asian creoles are examined in order to determine the extent of influence of the lexifier and substrate(s) and to correlate this with the strength and extent of lexifier presence in the history of each creole. The design and application of a numerical metric is discussed.

Predicting substrate influence

2008
Abstract In Chapter 4, I demonstrated that a significant amount of morphological expansion occurred in the pidgin predecessors of both Melanesian Pidgin and Hawai’i Creole, and that a significant proportion of the expanded features were modelled on the grammatical morphology of the substrate languages.

Substrate influences on CIS device performance

Proceedings of 1994 IEEE 1st World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion - WCPEC (A Joint Conference of PVSC, PVSEC and PSEC), 2002
It has been reported that the substrate plays an active role in copper indium diselenide (CIS) devices. The physical properties of the substrate, i.e., thermal expansion coefficient, chemical composition, strain point, surface quality and cleanliness may all play a role in device efficiency and process reproducibility.

Constraints on Substrate Influence

2008
Abstract In an earlier article (Siegel 1997a ), I proposed that there are two types of constraints, or what Mufwene (1991: 137) calls ‘regulatory principles’— i.e. factors that influence the selection of features, both from the substrate languages and the lexifier.

Substrate influences in Mindanao Chabacano

2011
Mindanao Chabacano (henceforth MC), a cluster of varieties of Philippine Creole Spanish with almost 600,000 speakers recorded in the 2000 Philippines census, is rather unusual among creole languages because it has been in constant contact both with its chief lexifier Spanish, and with the languages which most strongly shaped it typologically, the ...

Substrate Curvature Influences the Direction of Nerve Outgrowth

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2005
Nerve outgrowth in the developing nervous system utilizes a variety of attractive and repulsive molecules found in the extracellular environment. In addition, physical cues may play an important regulatory role in determining directional outgrowth of nervous tissue. Here, by culturing nerve cells on filamentous surfaces and measuring directional growth,

Influencing energy expenditure and substrate utilisation

2008
Most of the anti-obesity drugs used over the past 50 years, and one (sibutramine) of the two globally licensed for long-term use today have acted centrally. With the exception of sibutramine (and the possible further approval of rimonabant), however, all of these have been withdrawn due to concerns over toxicity or abuse potential, or their use is ...

Influence of inhomogeneous substrate curvature on line tension

Physical Review E, 2005
Line tension accompanying equilibrium liquidlike films adsorbed at cylinder-shaped substrates equipped with chemical heterogeneities is studied within an effective interfacial Hamiltonian approach. The heterogeneity has the form of a stripe of width 2L. The leading corrections to the line tension coefficient due to nonzero substrate curvature R(-1) are

Factors influencing substrate utilization by Tetrahymena pyriformis

Experimental Cell Research, 1958
Abstract T. pyriformis H resembled other Protozoa and bacteria in the occurrence of reduced average cell volume with aging of cultures, and in undergoing initial contraction or expansion in transfers from cultures of comparable growth stages to fresh medium. Initial expansion of the ciliate depended upon substrate uptake and consequent increase in
