description: The relationship between convective penetration depth and tropospheric humidity is central to recent theories of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). It has been suggested that general circulation models (GCMs) poorly simulate the MJO because they fail to gradually moisten the troposphere by shallow convection and simulate a slow transition to deep convection. CloudSat and Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) data are analyzed to document the variability of convection depth and its relation to water vapor during the MJO transition from shallow to deep convection and to constrain GCM cumulus parameterizations. Composites of cloud occurrence for 10 MJO events show the following anticipated MJO cloud structure: shallow and congestus clouds in advance of the peak, deep clouds near the peak, and upper-level anvils after the peak. Cirrus clouds are also frequent in advance of the peak. The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for Earth Observing System (EOS) (AMSR-E) column water vapor (CWV) increases by ~5 mm during the shallow–deep transition phase, consistent with the idea of moisture preconditioning. Echo-top height of clouds rooted in the boundary layer increases sharply with CWV, with large variability in depth when CWV is between ~46 and 68 mm. International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project cloud classifications reproduce these climatological relationships but correctly identify congestus-dominated scenes only about half the time. A version of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies Model E2 (GISS-E2) GCM with strengthened entrainment and rain evaporation that produces MJO-like variability also reproduces the shallow–deep convection transition, including the large variability of cloud-top height at intermediate CWV values. The variability is due to small grid-scale relative humidity and lapse rate anomalies for similar values of CWV.
A comparative study of performance and interpretation of the late Beethoven string quartets
Creators: name: Hyland, SJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: The expansion of the recording industry has brought with it the production of multiple recordings of certain works by prominent composers, which might lead to the conclusion that a great variety of interpretations of a given work are possible. A study of recorded performances of the late Beethoven string quartets, covering a period from the early days of the recording industry to recent times, suggests however, that interpretations by earlier ensembles show greater diversity than those of quartets of the last three decades. The last six string quartets by Beethoven (0p.127 in Eb major, Op.130 in Bb major, Op.131 in C# minor, Op.132 in A minor, Op.133 in Bb major and Op.135 in F major) are of particular interest in a study of interpretation because of their innovative and intricate forms, which would seem to provide ample opportunity for variety of interpretation. This study examines four performances of each of these works, including recordings by nine ensembles. These ensembles are, in chronological order: Flonzaley Quartet, Busch Quartet, Pascal Quartet; Budapest Quartet, Hungarian Quartet, Smetana Quartet, Paganini Quartet, Fine Arts Quartet, and Amadeus Quartet. The research involved an examination of each recording, taking into consideration twelve aspects of performance interpretation. These various aspects fall into four main categories: technical proficiency, stylistic devices, tempo and interpretation of notation. The study of technical proficiency deals with standard of intonation, rhythmic accuracy, and precision of ensemble playing. The two stylistic devices discussed are vibrato and portamento. The comparison of tempo differences considers the basic tempo of each section or movement, the range covered by unindicated changes of tempo and the frequency of their occurrence, the amount of rubato within a given tempo, and unmarked ritardando or accelerando at the ends of movements or sections. The study of differences in interpretation of various notational indications deals specifically with length of staccato notes, articulation of phrasing slurs, and certain dynamic markings. The results of the research reveal that in most of the above mentioned performance variables, the interpretations by ensembles from earlier this century show greater diversity, while still following the composer's instructions in the score, than do those of quartets of recent decades, indicating a tendency towards standardization of interpretation.

description: Cryptographic primitives are fundamental for information security: they are used as basic components for cryptographic protocols or public-key cryptosystems. In many cases, their security proofs consist in showing that they are reducible to computationally hard problems. Those reductions can be subtle and tedious, and thus not easily checkable. On top of the proof assistant Coq, we had implemented in previous work a toolbox for writing and checking game-based security proofs of cryptographic primitives. In this paper we describe its extension with number-theoretic capabilities so that it is now possible to write and check arithmetic-based cryptographic primitives in our toolbox. We illustrate our work by machine checking the game-based proofs of unpredictability of the pseudo-random bit generator of Blum, Blum and Shub, and semantic security of the public-key cryptographic scheme of Goldwasser and Micali.

title: Enhancing Students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills through Computer-based Scaffolding in Problem-based Learning
Creators: name: Kim, Nam Ju
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: This multiple paper dissertation addressed several issues in Problem-based learning (PBL) through conceptual analysis, meta-analysis, and empirical research. PBL is characterized by ill-structured tasks, self-directed learning process, and a combination of individual and cooperative learning activities. Students who lack content knowledge and problem-solving skills may struggle to address associated tasks that are beyond their current ability levels in PBL. This dissertation addressed a) scaffolding characteristics (i.e., scaffolding types, delivery method, customization) and their effects on students’ perception of optimal challenge in PBL, b) the possibility of virtual learning environments for PBL, and c) the importance of information literacy for successful PBL learning. Specifically, this dissertation demonstrated the effectiveness of scaffolding customization (i.e., fading, adding, and fading/adding) to enhance students’ self-directed learning in PBL. Moreover, the effectiveness of scaffolding was greatest when scaffolding customization is self-selected than based on fixed-time interval and their performance. This suggests that it might be important for students to take responsibility for their learning in PBL and individualized and just-in-time scaffolding can be one of the solutions to address K-12 students’ difficulties in improving problem-solving skills and adjusting to PBL.

description: In this work we study the noise induced effects on the dynamics of short polymers crossing a potential barrier, in the presence of a metastable state. An improved version of the Rouse model for a flexible polymer has been adopted to mimic the molecular dynamics by taking into account both the interactions between adjacent monomers and introducing a Lennard-Jones potential between all beads. A bending recoil torque has also been included in our model. The polymer dynamics is simulated in a two-dimensional domain by numerically solving the Langevin equations of motion with a Gaussian uncorrelated noise. We find a nonmonotonic behaviour of the mean first passage time and the most probable translocation time, of the polymer centre of inertia, as a function of the polymer length at low noise intensity. We show how thermal fluctuations influence the motion of short polymers, by inducing two different regimes of translocation in the molecule transport dynamics. In this context, the role played by the length of the molecule in the translocation time is investigated.

description: This paper presents a spatially and temporally improved reconstruction of mean summer (June–August) temperature derived from tree-ring width data of Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.) from the northern Great Xing'an Mountains, Northeast China. Three new chronologies were added to the original 2011 reconstruction, and the reconstruction extended back to AD 1715. The reconstruction was generated using a simple linear regression method, verified by independent meteorological data, and accounts for 47.0% of the actual temperature variance during the common period (1957–2008). The reconstruction captures decadal and century-scale regional temperature variability, such as cold decades (1940s, 1930s, 1790s, 1950s and 1850s), warm decades (2000s, 1870s, 1750s, 1980s and 1840s), a cold half-century (ca. 1750–1799), and a warm half-century (ca. 1900–1949). It also reveals slightly higher frequency of cold years (20.4%) than warm years (18.0%), and a recent warming trend. Compared to the original 2011 reconstruction, this reconstruction has lower inter-annual temperature variability, high explained variance and high representativeness of regional climate. The reconstruction also correlates with the East Asian Monsoon and the Pacific Ocean signals, and indicates the feasibility of using tree rings from high latitude Northeast China to reconstruct summer temperature in permafrost forest environments.
title: The Development of English Learners as Writers of Opinion Pieces
Creators: name: Squire, Auri Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: The population of English learners (ELs) is growing rapidly across the U.S. Concurrently, elementary students throughout the country are being required to produce more sophisticated writing products than ever before as a result of the heavy emphasis on writing instruction in the recently adopted Common Core State Standards. This qualitative study examined how to best support ELs as they develop as writers. It also addressed the strong need to investigate the impact of students discussing ideas with a partner throughout the writing process.
In order to determine how ELs develop as writers, a multiple case study was conducted in a fourth-grade English as a Second Language (ESL) classroom. The ESL teacher used the “Thinking Maps” program to teach students to write opinion pieces. Part of the program included partner talk, in which the students conversed with a partner throughout the writing process. The study took place over a period of 6 weeks. During that time, I did twice-weekly observations, took field notes, collected samples of student work, audio recorded students as they participated in partner talk, and conducted interviews with the students and the teacher. In addition to an ongoing, reflective analysis of the field notes and audio files, the grounded theory approach was used for final data analysis. The data analysis and interpretation of the data reflects the constructs and theories that initially structured this study.
A number of key elements emerged from the data analysis that indicated that important supports are needed in order for ELs to develop as writers of opinion pieces. These included the opportunity to work with a more knowledgeable other, communicating despite language barriers, utilizing the structure provided with Thinking Maps, a chance to participate in group discussions, and the opportunity to examine written models to use when writing their own opinion pieces.
The new model of fitting the spectral energy distributions of Mkn 421 and Mkn 501

description: The spectral energy distribution (SED) of TeV blazars has a double-humped shape that is usually interpreted as Synchrotron Self Compton (SSC) model. The one zone SSC model is used broadly but cannot fit the high energy tail of SED very well. It need bulk Lorentz factor which is conflict with the observation. Furthermore one zone SSC model can not explain the entire spectrum. In the paper, we propose a new model that the high energy emission is produced by the accelerated protons in the blob with a small size and high magnetic field, the low energy radiation comes from the electrons in the expanded blob. Because the high and low energy photons are not produced at the same time, the requirement of large Doppler factor from pair production is relaxed. We present the fitting results of the SEDs for Mkn 501 during April 1997 and Mkn 421 during March 2001 respectively.

description: Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are considered as a green and environmentally benign solvent class for various applications, including delignification of biomass. One of the major challenges in the delignification of biomass by DES is attributed to the limitations in mass transfer. By subjecting wood chips to a low-energy mechanical refining, i.e., the Asplund process, the accessible surface area increases greatly, which in turn improves the mass transfer and increases the reaction rate. In this research, the DES delignification of Asplund fibers made of Norway spruce was studied as a strategy to produce papermaking fibers under mild conditions. A DES consisting of lactic acid and choline chloride was used due to its proven performance in delignification. Various operational conditions, such as temperature, time, DES-to-wood ratio, and the type of stirring were studied. A novel parameter, Q, allowed to evaluate the impact of the operational conditions on the quality of the pulp in terms of delignification degree and fiber length. The results showed that cooking temperature had the most significant effect on the pulp quality. Additionally, it was observed that cooking times between 30 and 45 min result in a pulp yield of about 50%, while fibers have a lignin content of about 14% and a fiber length of 0.6 mm. These results demonstrate that it is possible to obtain fibers of relatively good quality from DES delignification using Asplund fibers as the starting material.

description: In Debates in the Digital Humanities, Matthew Gold opens with an essay entitled “The Digital Humanities Moment (2012).” This moment is characterized by a swell of scholarly and popular publications on digital humanities (DH), funding opportunities for DH projects, jobs requiring DH skills, and DH centers forming in colleges and universities. The same could be said about a parallel moment in libraries. In the past few months job postings for positions with titles such as Digital Humanities Librarian, Librarian for Digital Humanities Research, and Digital Humanities Design Consultant have multiplied. Additionally, many libraries are integrating support for DH or digital scholarship into their service profiles. However, there are few articles in the library literature, much less in the DH literature, focused specifically on the role libraries are playing or could play in this emerging approach to humanities scholarship.

description: Various human activities, including fossil fuel combustion and forest clearing, emit about eight petagrams (or billion tons) of carbon in the form of CO2 into the atmosphere annually. The global ocean absorbs about two petagrams of CO2, and about a half of that amount is absorbed by the Southern Ocean south of 30°S, thus slowing the rapid accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere. Partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is a measure of the chemical driving force for the CO2 exchange between the ocean and the atmosphere. This paper discusses its space and time distribution over the Southern Ocean. The major sink zone for atmospheric CO2 is located in a latitude belt between 30°S and 50°S, where the biological utilization of CO2 and cooling of warm subtropical waters flowing southward produce low seawater pCO2. Strong winds in this zone also enhance the ocean's uptake. Although the source-sink conditions vary over a wide range through the seasons in the areas south of 50°S, this zone is a small sink on an annual average. Winter observations show that surface water pCO2 values in the source region for Antarctic Intermediate Water have increased at a rate faster than the atmospheric increase rate, suggesting that the ocean CO2 sink intensity has been weakening for several decades and has changed from a net sink to a net source since 2005. The results of ocean general circulation-biogeochemistry model studies are found to be consistent with the observations.

description: Premise of the study: Consequences of global climate change are detectable in the historically nitrogen- and phosphorus-limited Arctic tundra landscape and have implications for the terrestrial carbon cycle. Warmer temperatures and elevated soil nutrient availability associated with increased microbial activity may influence rates of photosynthesis and respiration. Methods: This study examined leaf-level gas exchange, cellular ultrastructure, and related leaf traits in two dominant tundra species, Betula nana, a woody shrub, and Eriophorum vaginatum, a tussock sedge, under a 3-yr-old treatment gradient of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilization in the North Slope of Alaska. Key results: Respiration increased with N and P addition—the highest rates corresponding to the highest concentrations of leaf N in both species. The inhibition of respiration by light ("Kok effect") significantly reduced respiration rates in both species (P < 0.001), ranged from 12–63% (mean 34%), and generally decreased with fertilization for both species. However, in both species, observed rates of photosynthesis did not increase, and photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency generally decreased under increasing fertilization. Chloroplast and mitochondrial size and density were highly sensitive to N and P fertilization (P < 0.001), though species interactions indicated divergent cellular organizational strategies. Conclusions: Results from this study demonstrate a species-specific decoupling of respiration and photosynthesis under N and P fertilization, implying an alteration of the carbon balance of the tundra ecosystem under future conditions.

Institutions, interest groups and marine resources policy : the development of fisheries--oil and gas policy in Bass Strait
Creators: name: Haward, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This study examines the development of marine resource policy highlighting the interaction between resource management institutions and resource user interest groups, and the effect of this interaction on both the policy process and policy output concerned with fisheries and offshore oil and gas policy in Bass Strait. It is argued that this interaction, and policy development, can best be explained as ocurring within issue communities composed of a range of policy actors (the institutions and interest groups) concerned with specific aspects of fisheries and/or offshore hydrocarbons policy. It is claimed that this interaction between actors cannot be adequately treated using the existing institutionalised structures concerned with the formulation of fisheries and/or oil and gas policy, and that such interaction within an issue community is likely to result in the emergence of specific accomodating institutions- in the policy environment. This proposition is developed through the examination of two case studies dealing with policies developed in the period 1983-85, first, the introduction of a management regime for the Bass Strait scallop fishery, and second, the introduction of a resource rent tax and cash bidding policies in the offshore petroleum sector. The thesis examines specific issues from Australia's emergent marine policy agenda, which although increasing in significance, given both international and domestic political developments in the period 1965-1985, has tended to be ignored by most commentators on Australian public policy. The impact of international developments such as the United Nations Third Conference on the Law of the Sea, (UNCLOS III), in providing extended (200 mile) jurisdiction over marine areas for coastal states, has increased the visibility of issues concerned with marine resources policy. This impetus from UNCLOS HI has coincided with domestic issues which provide the background of this thesis, the developments associated with what is termed the evolution of Australian offshore federalism. The impact of inter-governmental relations between the Commonwealth and States on fisheries and offshore oil and gas policy, provides the policy environment within which the interaction between various institutions and interest groups takes place.
title: Physiological Importance of 1,25(OH)2D3 Membrane-Initiated and Nuclear Actions in Chickens as a Function of Growth, and Maturation in Male and Female Chickens
Creators: name: Larsson, Birgitta
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: It is well established that l,25(OH)2D3 is a major regulator of calcium homeostasis. The steroid exerts its effects on its target organs by two mechanisms, a slow mechanism mediated by nuclear vitamin D receptors (nVDR), and a rapid mechanism mediated by the l,25(OH)2D3 membrane-associated rapid response steroid binding protein (l,25D3-MARRS bp). In this dissertation, the physiological relevance of membrane initiated steroid signaling was investigated by studying the correlation of age in male and female chickens with the magnitude of responses to l,25(OH)2D3 in duodena from 7-, 14-, 28-, and 58-week-old birds. Measurements of l,25(OH)2D3 (130 pM) responsiveness as a function of age showed an age-related decrease in intestinal Ca2+ transport for both male and female birds. Western analyses on isolated basal lateral membranes (BLM) indicated a decreased expression of 1,25D3-MARRS bp with increasing age in male chickens, while its expression increased with age in female birds. Saturation analyses of [3H]l,25(OH)2D3 binding to BLM revealed an allosteric interaction identified as cooperative binding for both male and female birds. The degree of positive cooperativity increased with increasing age. Both genders showed a significant increase in dissociation constant (Kd) with increasing age, indicating decreasing affinity. No age-related changes in the number of binding sites, Bmax, were observed in male chickens, while female birds showed an increase in Bmax with increasing age. Data obtained in parallel binding analyses of [3H]l,25(OH)2D3 to nuclear fraction nVDR in contrast, indicated an absence of cooperative binding and an absence of significant changes in Kd or Bmax with age for both male and female birds. Membrane-initiated signal transduction by l,25(OH)2D3 was assessed by determination of protein kinase C (PKC) and A (PKA) activities. Both male and female birds showed an age-related decrease in stimulation of PKC activity in response to l,25(OH)2D3, while PKA activity increased. In conclusion, this dissertation demonstrates that there is a decrease in l,25(OH)2D3-induced intestinal calcium uptake as a function of age in duodena of both male and female chickens, which can be correlated to a decreased affinity for l,25(OH)2D3, and a decreased PKC activity.

description: Lake Estancia’s transition from a Big Dry episode during the first half of the Mystery Interval to a Big Wet episode during the second half has equivalents in records from across the planet. At the time of this transition, Chinese monsoons experienced pronounced weakening, closed-basin lakes in both the Great Basin of the western United States and in the southern Altiplano of South America underwent a major expansion, mountain glaciers in Southern Hemisphere middle latitudes had retreated, and the rates of increase of CO2 and of d18O in Antarctic ice underwent a decrease. Finally, the precipitous drop in dust rain over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean terminated as did a similar drop in the 13C to 12C ratio in atmospheric CO2. These changes are consistent with a southward shift of the thermal equator. The cause of such a shift is thought to be an expansion of sea ice caused by a shutdown in deep water production in the northern Atlantic. This creates a dilemma because a similar southward shift is an expected consequence of the Heinrich event #1 which initiated the Mystery Interval.

Drinking water--Arsenic content

description: A national drinking water quality survey conducted in 2009 furnished data that were used to make an updated estimate of chronic arsenic exposure in Bangladesh. About 20 million and 45 million people were found to be exposed to concentrations above the national standard of 50 μg/L and the World Health Organization’s guideline value of 10 μg/L, respectively. From the updated exposure data and all-cause mortality hazard ratios based on local epidemiological studies, it was estimated that arsenic exposures to concentrations > 50 μg/L and 10–50 μg/L account for an annual 24 000 and perhaps as many as 19 000 adult deaths in the country, respectively. Exposure varies widely in the 64 districts; among adults, arsenic-related deaths account for 0–15% of all deaths. An arsenic-related mortality rate of 1 in every 18 adult deaths could represent an economic burden of 13 billion United States dollars (US$) in lost productivity alone over the next 20 years. Arsenic mitigation should follow a two-tiered approach: (i) prioritizing provision of safe water to an estimated 5 million people exposed to > 200 μg/L arsenic, and (ii) building local arsenic testing capacity. The effectiveness of such an approach was demonstrated during the United Nations Children’s Fund 2006–2011 country programme, which provided safe water to arsenic-contaminated areas at a cost of US$ 11 per capita. National scale-up of such an approach would cost a few hundred million US dollars but would improve the health and productivity of the population, especially in future generations.

title: Tryptophan Catabolism in Brevibacterium linens BL2

description: Recent studies suggest aromatic amino acid catabolism by starter lactococci and flavor adjunct bacteria have a significant impact on off-flavor development during Cheddar cheese ripening. We hypothesized that a flavor adjunct bacterium, Brevibacterium linens BL2, produces off-flavor compounds from aromatic amino acid metabolism that will have a detrimental impact on cheese flavor.
The mechanism of tryptophan (Trp) catabolism in Brevibacterium linens BL2, was investigated in a chemically defined medium during incubation in laboratory conditions (no carbohydrate, pH 6.50, 220 rpm, 25°C) and cheese-like conditions (no carbohydrate, 4% NaCl, static incubation, l5°C). In laboratory conditions, metabolic studies and enzyme assays confirmed that Trp was converted to kynurenine and anthranilic acid. However, cells incubated in cheese-like conditions did not utilize Trp, indicating that these enzymes are not likely to be involved in formation of Trp compounds associated with off-flavors in Cheddar cheese.
In an attempt to verify the metabolic activity of the cells during incubation by monitoring the amino acid metabolism in chemically defined medium inoculated with B. linens BL2, a capillary electrophoresis-laser-induced fluorescence method was developed that could separate, detect, and quantitate 18 amino acids within 38 min. The data indicated that B. linens BL2 was metabolically active. Presumably, the cells will be metabolically active and metabolize amino acids in cheese as well.
The ability to determine the Trp metabolic activity of B. linens BL2 in cheese, and to quantify Trp catabolic compounds in cheese during ripening, requires a quantitative extraction procedure. An analytical method was developed to extract and quantify aromatic amino acids and Trp catabolites from cheese using capillary electrophoresis. Methanol was used to extract Cheddar cheese made with Lactococcus lactis S3 alone and in combination with B. linens BL2 to quantitatively determine the influence of BL2 on the occurrence of aromatic catabolites. All cheeses contained aromatic amino acids, indole acetic acid, and indole. The concentration and time taken for development of these compounds were significantly decreased or delayed by the addition of B. linens BL2. After 6 months of aging, the concentrations of Trp catabolites were significantly lower in cheese made with B. linens BL2. Addition of BL2 did not directly contribute to off-flavors derived from Trp catabolism in Cheddar cheese. Therefore, the hypothesis was rejected.

description: The momentum transfer $Δk$ required for a photon to scatter from a target and emerge as a $ρ^0$ decreases as the photon energy $k$ rises. For $k>3\times10^{14}$ eV, $Δk$ is small enough that the interaction cannot be localized to a single nucleus. At still higher energies, photons may coherently scatter elastically from bulk matter and emerge as a $ρ^0$, in a manner akin to kaon regeneration. Constructive interference from the different nuclei coherently raises the cross section and the interaction probability rises linearly with energy. At energies above $10^{23}$ eV, coherent conversion is the dominant process; photons interact predominantly as $ρ^0$. We compute the coherent scattering probabilities in slabs of lead, water and rock, and discuss the implications of the increased hadronic interaction probabilities for photons on ultra-high energy shower development.

description: In a previous paper we have proven that any multi-resolution analysis of $L^2(\R)$ produces, for even values of the inverse filling factor and for a square lattice, a single-electron wave function of the lowest Landau level (LLL) which, together with its (magnetic) translated, gives rise to an orthonormal set in the LLL. We have also discussed the inverse construction. In this paper we simplify the procedure, clarifying the role of the kq-representation. Moreover, we extend our previous results to the more physically relevant case of a triangular lattice and to odd values of the inverse filling factor. We also comment on other possible shapes of the lattice as well as on the extension to other Landau levels. Finally, just as a first application of our technique, we compute (an approximation of) the Coulomb energy for the Haar wavefunction, for a filling $ν={1/3}$.

description: "Wave" fields have long been recognized in marine sediments on the flanks of basins and oceans in both tectonically active and inactive environments. The origin of "waves" (hereafter called undulations) is controversial; competing models ascribe them to depositional processes, gravity-driven downslope creep or collapse, and/or tectonic shortening. Here we analyze pervasive undulation fields identified in swath bathymetry and new high-resolution multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection data from the Sea of Marmara, Turkey. Although they exhibit some of the classical features of sediment waves, the following distinctive characteristics exclude a purely depositional origin: (1) parallelism between the crests of the undulations and bathymetric contours over a wide range of orientations, (2) steep flanks of the undulations (up to âˆ¼40°), and (3) increases in undulations amplitude with depth. We argue that the undulations are folds formed by gravity-driven downslope creep that have been augmented by depositional processes. These creep folds develop over long time periods (≥0.5 m.y.) and stand in contrast to geologically instantaneous collapse. Stratigraphic growth on the upslope limbs indicates that deposition contributes to the formation and upslope migration of the folds. The temporal and spatial evolution of the creep folds is clearly related to rapid tilting in this tectonically active transform basin.
