The effects of gravity stabilization and destabilization on the slow displacement of a wetting fluid by a non-wetting fluid in two-dimensional and three-dimensional porous media have been investigated experimentally. The characteristic features of the resulting displacement patterns can be...

We derive general properties of the finite-size scaling of probability density functions and show that when the apparent exponent <InlineEquation ID="Equ1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\tilde{\tau}$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> of a probability density is less than 1, the associated finite-size scaling ansatz has a scaling exponent τ equal to 1, provided that the fraction...</equationsource></inlineequation>

Although today's family has changed, the workplace has not—and the resulting one-size-fits-all workplace has become profoundly mismatched to the needs of an increasingly diverse and varied workforce. As changes in the composition of the workforce exert new demands on employers, considerable...
