(Elsevier, 2019-07-15)Towards developing bone-inspired, high performance composite biomaterials, two nanocomposite inks, consisting of a plant oil-based biopolymer resin (soybean oil epoxidized acrylate (SOEA)) and silanized nano-hydroxyapatite ... -
Eye gaze and head orientation modulate the inhibition of return for faces
(Springer, 2015-11-01)The present study used an inhibition of return (IOR) spatial cueing paradigm to examine how gaze direction and head orientation modulate attention capture for human faces. Target response time (RT) was measured after the ... -
« Échos » et « brèches » dans la poésie de Louis-Jean Thibault
(Département de français de l'Université d'Ottawa, 2011)Résumé Autour de la décennie 1960, toute une génération de poètes prêtait sa voix au pays à venir. Mais faute de pays réel, clairement défini, cette poésie était confinée à l’abstraction, évoquant « l’âme » d’un ineffable ... -
Fabrication and electrokinetic motion of electrically anisotropic Janus droplets in microchannels
(Wiley, 2016-09-07)This paper presents experimental investigations of the fabrication and the motion of electrically anisotropic Janus droplets in a microchannel under externally applied direct current (DC) electrical field. The fabrication ... -
Fabrication of nanochannels on polystyrene surfaces
(Biomicrofluidics, 2015-05)Solvent-induced nanocrack formation on polystyrene surface is investigated experimentally. Solubility parameter and diffusion coefficient of alcohols are employed to elucidate the swelling and cracking processes as well ... -
Fabrication of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) nanofluidic chips with controllable channel size and spacing
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-08-09)The ability to create reproducible and inexpensive nanofluidic chips is essential to the fundamental research and applications of nanofluidics. This paper presents a novel and cost-effective method for fabricating a single ... -
Fabrication of ZnO/Cu2O heterojunctions in atmospheric conditions: Improved interface quality and solar cell performance
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)Zn1−xMgxO/Cu2O heterojunctions were successfully fabricated in open-air at low temperatures via atmospheric atomic layer deposition of Zn1−xMgxO on thermally oxidized cuprous oxide. Solar cells employing these heterojunctions ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Factors associated with study completion in patients with premature acute coronary syndrome
(Public Library of Science, 2017-03-16)Background Factors associated with study completion in younger adults are not well understood. This study sought to describe psychosocial, clinical, and demographic features associated with completion of a study of men and ... -
Factors of Haptic Experience across Multiple Haptic Modalities
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2023-04-19)Haptic Experience (HX) is a proposed set of quality criteria useful to haptics, with prior evidence for a 5-factor model with vibrotactile feedback. We report on an ongoing process of scale development to measure HX, and ... -
Factors of Influence on the Performance of a Short-Latency Non-Invasive Brain Switch: Evidence in Healthy Individuals and Implication for Motor Function Rehabilitation
(Frontiers Media, 2016-01-21)Brain computer interfacing (BCI) has recently been applied as a rehabilitation approach for patients with motor disorders, such as stroke. In these closed-loop applications, a brain switch detects the motor intention from ... -
Failure parameter identification and validation for a dual-phase 780 steel sheet
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)A hybrid experimental-numerical procedure was implemented to determine the failure surface of a dual-phase 780 steel sheet as a function of the effective plastic strain, triaxiality, and Lode parameter using butterfly ... -
Failure time studies with intermittent observation and losses to follow-up
(Wiley, 2020-12-01)In health research interest often lies in modeling a failure time process but in many cohort studies failure status is only determined at scheduled assessment times. While the assessment times may be fixed upon study entry, ... -
Fair Transition from Defined Benefit to Target Benefit
