Decoupling of a neutron interferometer from temperature gradients
(AIP Publishing, 2016-12-16)Neutron interferometry enables precision measurements that are typically operated within elaborate, multi-layered facilities which provide substantial shielding from environmental noise. These facilities are necessary to ... -
Deep Dynamic Stall and Active Aerodynamic Modification on a S833 Airfoil using Pitching Trailing Edge Flap
(SAGE Journals, 2020-08)Due to the dynamic nature of the wind resource, wind turbine blades are subjected to significant variation in flow parameters such as angle of attack. In some cases, the occurrence of dynamic stall on wind turbine blades ... -
Deep Residual Networks for Hyperspectral Image Classification
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-07-25)Deep neural networks can learn deep feature representation for hyperspectral image (HSI) interpretation and achieve high classification accuracy in different datasets. However, counterintuitively, the classification ... -
Deep, effortless concentration: re-examining the flow concept and exploring relations with inattention, absorption, and personality
(Springer, 2018-06-18)Conceptualizing the construct of flow in terms of ‘deep and effortless concentration’, we developed two measurement scales designed to index individual differences in flow during ‘internal’ tasks, such as thinking (deep ... -
Defining gameful experience as a psychological state caused by gameplay: Replacing the term ‘Gamefulness’ with three distinct constructs
(Elsevier, 2019-07)Background and Aim Gamefulness is commonly cited as the primary goal of gamification, a family of approaches employed in education, business, healthcare, government, and elsewhere. However, gamefulness is defined ... -
Defining Haptic Experience: Foundations for Understanding, Communicating, and Evaluating HX
(ACM, 2020-04-25)Haptic technology is maturing, with expectations and evidence that it will contribute to user experience (UX). However, we have very little understanding about how haptic technology can influence people’s experience. ... -
Degradable starch nanoparticle assisted ethanol precipitation of DNA
(Elsevier, 2014-04-18)Precipitation of DNA from a large volume of aqueous solution is an important step in many molecular biology and analytical chemistry experiments. Currently, this is mainly achieved by ethanol precipitation, where a long-term ... -
Degradation and Toxicity Assay During Electrocatalysis of Chlorobenzene in Aqueous Solution
(ESG, 2015-12-01)The degradation and toxicity assay on a three-dimensional electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) of organic pollutants were described in this paper. Aqueous chlorobenzene (CB, 50 mg/L) was chosen as model pollutant and C. vulgaris ... -
Deiotaros Philorhomaios, Pontos und Kolchis
(Franz Steiner Verlag, 2020-12-01)Towards the end of the Third Mithradatic War (64 BC), Pompey promoted the Tolistobogian tetrarch Deiotaros to become the most powerful king of Asia Minor. Strabo describes his new territories as follows (Geogr. 12.3.13 ... -
A deletion–contraction relation for the chromatic symmetric function
(Elsevier, 2020-10)We extend the definition of the chromatic symmetric function XG to include graphs G with a vertex-weight function w : V (G) --> N. We show how this provides the chromatic symmetric function with a natural deletion-contraction ... -
Dementia Discourse: From Imposed Suffering to Knowing Other-Wise
(University of Calgary, 2013-06-12)The authors revisit the troubling discourse surrounding the diagnosis of dementia. A critique of the predominant words and images in health care literature, public discourse, and policy is considered from multiple angles. ... -
Demonstration Of New ESP-R Capability For Quantifying The Energy Savings Potential Of Window Shading Devices
(2009-06)Buildings with highly glazed facades and well insulated, air-tight envelopes result in interior spaces that are highly sensitive to solar gain. Solar gain through glazing is the largest and most variable gain in buildings ... -
Demystifying Open Access
(2010-06-01)The international Open Access (OA) movement is changing how journal literature is created, disseminated, and purchased. Individuals working in academic, public and special libraries are invited to this session for a ... -
Dendritic coarsening model for rapid solidification of Ni-superalloy via electrospark deposition
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)Control of splat thickness in an electrospark deposition (ESD) process can be used to improve the mechanical properties of deposited Inconel 718. The lower cooling rates of thicker deposition splats obtained through higher ... -
A density functional theory analysis on syngas adsorption on NiO (100) surface
(Elsevier, 2019-12-31)Oxygen carrier (OC) design can effectively improve the performance of chemical looping combustion (CLC) and realize fossil fuel combustion at low energy-cost CO2 capture. This study describes the adsorption principles of ... -
Dependence modeling for multi-type recurrent events via copulas
(Wiley, 2019-09-20)When several types of recurrent events may arise, interest often lies in marginal modeling and studying the nature of the dependence structure. In this paper, we propose a multivariate mixed-Poisson model with the dependence ... -
The dependence of evaporative efficiency of vegetated surfaces on ground cover weight fractions in mesic ecosystems
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Bare soil evaporation has been studied extensively, but less is certain regarding how site-specific features, especially the overstory tree canopy and ground covers, mediate evaporation processes. Inspired by recent advances ... -
Dependence of model energy spectra on vertical resolution
(American Meteorological Society, 2016-03)Many high-resolution atmospheric models can reproduce the qualitative shape of the atmospheric kinetic energy spectrum, which has a power-law slope of −3 at large horizontal scales that shallows to approximately −5/3 in ... -
Depletion gels from dense soft colloids: Rheology and thermoreversible melting
(American Institute of Physics, 2014-08-01)Upon addition of small nonadsorbing linear polymers, colloidal glasses composed of large hard spheres melt and eventually revitrify into the so-called attractive glass regime. We show that, when replacing the hard spheres ... -
