When disaster strikes in cities the effects can be catastrophic compared to other environments. But what factors actually determine the vulnerability or resilience of cities? The …

Extremal dynamics and the approach to the critical state: experiments on a three dimensional pile of rice.

Physical review letters

Aegerter CM, Lorincz KA, Welling MS, Wijngaarden RJ.
PMID: 14995349
Phys Rev Lett. 2004 Feb 06;92(5):058702. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.92.058702. Epub 2004 Feb 06.

The evolution of the growth of a ricepile is studied in three dimensions. With time, the pile approaches a critical state with a certain slope. Assuming extremal dynamics in the evolution of the pile, the way the critical state...

Structure determination and phase transition behaviour of dimethyl sulfate.

Acta crystallographica. Section B, Structural science

Ibberson RM, Telling MT, Parsons S.
PMID: 16552162
Acta Crystallogr B. 2006 Apr;62:280-6. doi: 10.1107/S0108768106001893. Epub 2006 Mar 15.

The crystal structures of phase I and phase II of dimethyl sulfate, (CH3O)2SO2, have been determined using complementary high-resolution neutron powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Below its melting point of 241 K dimethyl sulfate crystallizes in an orthorhombic...

Effects of timeout on spaced responding in pigeons.

Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior

Kramer TJ, Rilling M.
PMID: 16811354
J Exp Anal Behav. 1969 Mar;12(2):283-8. doi: 10.1901/jeab.1969.12-283.

Three pigeons were trained under a differential-reinforcement-of-low-rate schedule of 20 sec, and then exposed to a schedule under which responses terminating interresponse times less than 20 sec produced timeout and responses terminating interresponse times greater than 20 sec produced...

Aversive aspects of a fixed-interval schedule of food reinforcement.

Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior

Richards RW, Rilling M.
PMID: 16811597
J Exp Anal Behav. 1972 May;17(3):405-11. doi: 10.1901/jeab.1972.17-405.

The key pecking of pigeons was reinforced according to a fixed-interval schedule of reinforcement. The pigeons were also given the opportunity to attack a restrained target pigeon. The attack rates during the sessions of fixed-interval reinforcement were higher than...

Extinction-induced aggression during errorless discrimination learning.

Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior

Rilling M, Caplan HJ.
PMID: 16811698
J Exp Anal Behav. 1973 Jul;20(1):85-92. doi: 10.1901/jeab.1973.20-85.

Pigeons were trained to discriminate without errors between a green light and a dark key. The key-pecking response was reinforced in the presence of green, and extinction was in effect in the presence of the dark key. The duration...

Generalization of excitation and inhibition after different amounts of training of an avoidance baseline.

Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior

Rilling M, Budnik JE.
PMID: 16811841
J Exp Anal Behav. 1975 Mar;23(2):207-15. doi: 10.1901/jeab.1975.23-207.

After acquisition of a treadle-pressing response maintained by an avoidance contingency, four groups of pigeons received interdimensional discrimination training. For two groups, the positive stimulus was a 1000-Hertz tone correlated with the avoidance schedule and the negative stimulus was...

Time-dependent changes in conditioned suppression.

Journal of the experimental analysis of behavior

Howard RC, Rilling M.
PMID: 16812048
J Exp Anal Behav. 1978 Mar;29(2):199-209. doi: 10.1901/jeab.1978.29-199.

Time-dependent changes in a response following aversive conditioning were investigated using a conditioned suppression procedure in a within-subjects design. Four groups of pigeons received Pavlovian conditioning "off the baseline", immediately followed by an operant task. During the Pavlovian phase,...

In-gap spin excitations and finite triplet lifetimes in the dilute singlet ground state system SrCu(2-x)Mgx(BO3)2.

Physical review letters

Haravifard S, Dunsiger SR, El Shawish S, Gaulin BD, Dabkowska HA, Telling MT, Perring TG, Bonca J.
PMID: 17280317
Phys Rev Lett. 2006 Dec 15;97(24):247206. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.247206. Epub 2006 Dec 14.

High resolution neutron scattering measurements on a single crystal of SrCu(2-x)Mgx(BO3)2 with x approximately 0.05 reveal the presence of new spin excitations within the gap of this quasi-two-dimensional, singlet ground state system. The application of a magnetic field induces...

In situ powder neutron diffraction study of non-stoichiometric phase formation during the hydrogenation of Li3N.

Faraday discussions

Bull DJ, Sorbie N, Baldissin G, Moser D, Telling MT, Smith RI, Gregory DH, Ross DK.
PMID: 22455074
Faraday Discuss. 2011;151:263-70; discussion 285-95. doi: 10.1039/c0fd00020e.

The hydrogenation of Li3N at low chemical potential has been studied in situ by time-of-flight powder neutron diffraction and the formation of a non-stoichiometric Li4-2xNH phase and Li4NH observed. The results are interpreted in terms of a model for...
