Facial expression discrimination varies with presentation time but not with fixation on features: A backward masking study using eye-tracking
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-01-02)The current study investigated the effects of presentation time and fixation to expression-specific diagnostic features on emotion discrimination performance, in a backward masking task. While no differences were found ... -
Facial Expression Recognition System
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-23)A key requirement for developing any innovative system in a computing environment is to integrate a sufficiently friendly interface with the average end user. Accurate design of such a user-centered interface, however, ... -
A facile and fully automated on-fiber derivatization protocol for direct analysis of short-chain aliphatic amines using a matrix compatible solid-phase microextraction coating
(Elsevier, 2017-07-29)Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) analysis of short-chain aliphatic amines (C-3-C-6) in aqueous solutions was investigated using pentafluorobenzaldehyde (PFBAY) as on-fiber derivatization reagent. A standard gas generating ... -
Facile solid-state synthesis of eco-friendly sodium iron silicate with exceptional sodium storage behaviour
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)It is crucial to develop stable energy sources for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries using simple synthesis methods. Herein, we report a facile route for synthesizing phase-pure carbon-coated Na2FeSiO4 polyanionic cathodes ... -
Facilitating Breast Conserving Surgery Using Preoperative MRI
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-21)Breast cancer is currently considered the most widespread malignancy in women, which costs the lives of approximately 400,000 people annually worldwide. While extremely useful for early detection and diagnosis of breast ... -
Facilitating Brownfield Redevelopment Projects: Evaluation, Negotiation, and Policy
(University of Waterloo, 2011-05-19)A risky project evaluation technique called the fuzzy real options analysis is developed to evaluate brownfield redevelopment projects. Other decision making techniques, such as multiple criteria analysis and conflict ... -
Facilitating Information Access for Heterogeneous Data Across Many Languages
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-25)Information access, which enables people to identify, retrieve, and use information freely and effectively, has attracted interest from academia and industry. Systems for document retrieval and question answering have ... -
Facilitating Recreation
(University of Waterloo, 2018-02-02)In our current architectural discourse of sporting design in Canada, we tailor our sports facilities to harness the energy of the masses, to watch the World’s elite compete on an Olympic or an international scale. The vast ... -
Facilitating the Formation of Intermetallic Compounds in Al-Si Coatings on Steel during Hot Stamping
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-14)Hot-stamped ultrahigh strength steel (UHSS) components are pivotal to automotive light-weighting. Steel blanks, often coated with an aluminum-silicon (Al-Si) layer to protect them from oxidation and decarburization, are ... -
Facilitators and barriers to safely managed water and sanitation: A spatio-temporal investigation of the association between socioeconomic factors and shigellosis incidence
(University of Waterloo, 2017-12-14)The lack of access to safe drinking water and sanitation worldwide has contributed to the occurrence of shigellosis, a waterborne infectious disease. Previous research has shown that shigellosis can be prevented by access ... -
Facility Location and Transportation in Two Free Trade Zones
(University of Waterloo, 2010-11-29)In any supply chain, the location of facilities and the routing of material are important decisions that contribute a significant amount of costs, lowering a corporation's overall profits. These choices become more important ... -
Facility location with economies of scale and congestion
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-01)Most literature on facility location assumes a fixed set-up cost and a linear variable cost. However, as production volume increases, cost savings are achieved through economies of scale, and then when production exceeds ... -
