A Novel Furnace Design Utilizing a Low Temperature Plastic Condensing Heat Exchanger
(1982-03)
The initial phase of a research and development program for the Consumers' Gas Co. and the Federal Department of Energy, Mines and Resources to design a condensing heat exchanger/gas fired residential air furnace has been ...
Increasing Passersby Engagement with Public Large Interactive Displays: A Study of Proxemics and Conation
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-11-19)
Prior research has shown that large interactive displays de- ployed in public spaces are often underutilized, or even un- noticed, phenomena connected to ‘interaction’ and ‘display blindness’, respectively. To better ...
Convective Heat Transfer In Hydrodynamically-Developed Laminar Flow In Asymmetrically-Heated Annuli: A Three-Temperature Problem
(2016-07)
Heat transfer in hydrodynamically-developed flow in asymmetrically-heated channels and annuli has been studied extensively. This study is an extension of earlier work where heat transfer in an asymmetrically-heated ...
Understanding Undergraduate Engineering Student Information Access and Needs: Results from a Scoping Review
(American Society for Engineering Education, 2019-06-16)
To the authors knowledge this is the first review to examine the current body of research
on how engineering students access, use, and understand information; identify gaps in the
literature, and how this can be used to ...
The Gamification User Types Hexad Scale
(ACM, 2016-10-16)
Several studies have indicated the need for personalizing gamified systems to users' personalities. However, mapping user personality onto design elements is difficult. Hexad is a gamification user types model that attempts ...
Lightweight Games User Research for Indies and Non-Profit Organizations
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-05-07)
The Games User Research (GUR) community has thrived at CHI with four workshops and a course since CHI 2012; all of these were well attended. In line with the #chi4good spirit this year, the GUR field must advance towards ...
ABOVE WATER: An Educational Game for Anxiety
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)
We present Above Water - a digital/physical hybrid game to inform people about the available strategies to cope with two types of Anxiety Disorders - Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. The game teaches players ...
Investigating the Impact of Cooperative Communication Mechanics on Player Performance in Portal 2
(Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society, 2016-06)
Cooperative communication mechanics, such as avatar gestures or in-game visual pointers, enable player collaboration directly through gameplay. We currently lack a deeper understanding of how players use cooperative ...
Design and Preliminary Validation of The Player Experience Inventory
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-10-16)
We present the design and preliminary results of the validation of the Player Experience Inventory (PXI). Based on the input of 64 experts in the field of player-computer interaction, we designed and refined this new scale. ...
Novelty Detection in Airport Baggage Conveyor Gear-Motors Using Synchro-Squeezing Transform and Self-Organizing Maps
(Prognostic and Health Management Society, 2013)
A powerful continuous wavelet transform based signal processing tool named Synchro-squeezing transform (SST) has recently emerged in the context of non-stationary signal processing. Founded upon the premise of time-frequency ...
