Motivational Affordance and Risk-Taking Across Decision Domains
(SAGE Publications, 2016-03-01)We propose a motivational affordance account to explain both stability and variability in risk-taking propensity in major decision domains. We draw on regulatory focus theory to differentiate two types of motivation ... -
Motivational Versus Metabolic Effects of Carbohydrates on Self-Control
(Sage Publications, 2012-10-01)Self-control is critical for achievement and well-being. However, people’s capacity for self-control is limited and becomes depleted through use. One prominent explanation for this depletion posits that self-control consumes ... -
Motor Unit Characteristics after Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
(Public Library of Science, 2016-02-22)Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical procedure used to redirect nerves originally controlling muscles of the amputated limb into remaining muscles above the amputation, to treat phantom limb pain and facilitate ... -
Movement-related cortical potentials in paraplegic patients: abnormal patterns and considerations for BCI-rehabilitation
(Frontiers, 2014-08-27)Non-invasive EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) can be promising for the motor neuro-rehabilitation of paraplegic patients. However, this shall require detailed knowledge of the abnormalities in the EEG signatures ... -
MRI guided brain stimulation without the use of a neuro-navigation system.
(Hindawi Publishing, 2015-01-01)A key issue in the field of noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is the accurate localization of scalp positions that correspond to targeted cortical areas. The current gold standard is to combine structural and functional ... -
mSLA-based 3D printing of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil - nano-hydroxyapatite composites for bone repair
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Structural bone allografts are used to treat critically sized segmental bone defects (CSBDs) as such defects are too large to heal naturally. Development of biomaterials with competent mechanical properties that can also ... -
A Multi-class BCI based on Somatosensory Imagery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-06-18)In this study, we investigated the performance of a multi-class brain-computer interface (BCI). The BCI system is based on the concept of somatosensory attentional orientation (SAO), in which the user shifts and maintains ... -
A multi-class tactile brain-computer interface based on stimulus-induced oscillatory dynamics
(Elsevier, 2017-07-24)We proposed a multi-class tactile brain-computer interface that utilizes stimulus-induced oscillatory dynamics. It was hypothesized that somatosensory attention can modulate tactile induced oscillation changes, which can ... -
Multi-indicator supply chain management framework for food convergent innovation in the dairy business
(Elsevier, 2021)A comprehensive integrated framework of indicators currently used in lean, agile, sustainable and resilient supply chain paradigms is developed under the umbrella of convergent innovation (CI) and applied to the management ... -
A multi-isotope approach towards constraining the origin of large-scale Paleoproterozoic B-(Fe) mineralization in NE China
(Elsevier, 2017-05-01)Borate ore deposits occur predominantly in Phanerozoic evaporative sedimentary environments but are scarce in Precambrian strata. However, massive B- and Mg-rich borate deposits are abundant in the Paleoproterozoic strata ... -
Multi-period hub network design problems with modular capacities
(Springer, 2016-11-01)In this paper, a modeling framework is proposed for multi-period hub location. The problems to be studied are extensions of classical hub location problems to the situation in which the hub network can be progressively ... -
Multi-products productions from Malaysian oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB): Analyzing economic potentials from the optimal biomass supply chain
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)The economic potentials of Malaysian oil palm empty fruit bunch are realized by several motivating factors such as abundance, cheapness and are generally feasible to produce multi-products that range from energy, chemicals ... -
Multi-scale entropy analysis and Hurst exponent
(Elsevier, 2019-08-15)Several methods exist for measuring the complexity in a system through analysis of its associated time series. Multi-scale entropy appears as a successful method on this matter. It has been applied in many disciplines with ... -
A Multi-scale model for CO2 capture: A Nickel-based oxygen carrier in Chemical-looping Combustion
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)In this work, we present a multi-scale modelling framework for the Ni-based oxygen carrier (OC) particle that can explicitly account for the complex reaction mechanism taking place on the contacting surface between gas and ... -
A multi-scale model for coupling strands with shear-dependent liquid
(ACM, 2019-11)We propose a framework for simulating the complex dynamics of strands interacting with compressible, shear-dependent liquids, such as oil paint, mud, cream, melted chocolate, and pasta sauce. Our framework contains three ... -
A multi-scale model for simulating liquid-fabric interactions
(ACM, 2018-07)We propose a method for simulating the complex dynamics of partially and fully saturated woven and knit fabrics interacting with liquid, including the effects of buoyancy, nonlinear drag, pore (capillary) pressure, dripping, ... -
A Multi-scale Model for Simulating Liquid-hair Interactions
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2017-07-20)The diverse interactions between hair and liquid are complex and span multiple length scales, yet are central to the appearance of humans and animals in many situations. We therefore propose a novel multi-component simulation ... -
Multi-scale modeling of head kinematics and brain tissue response to blast exposure
(Springer, 2019-09-15)Injuries resulting from blast exposure have been increasingly prevalent in recent conflicts, with a particular focus on the risk of head injury. In the current study, a multibody model (GEBOD) was used to investigate the ... -
