A fast variational framework for accurate solid-fluid coupling
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2007-07)Physical simulation has emerged as a compelling animation technique, yet current approaches to coupling simulations of fluids and solids with irregular boundary geometry are inefficient or cannot handle some relevant ... -
Fate of Adsorbed U(VI) during Sulfidization of Lepidocrocite and Hematite
(American Chemical Society, 2017-02-21)The impact on U(VI) adsorbed to lepidocrocite (gamma-FeOOH) and hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) was assessed when exposed to aqueous sulfide (S(II)(aq)) at pH 8.0. With both minerals, competition between S(-II) and U(VI) for surface ... -
Fatigue characteristics and modeling of cast and cast-forged ZK60 magnesium alloy
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)The fatigue behavior of as-cast and cast-forged ZK60 magnesium alloy was investigated via fully-reversed strain controlled fatigue tests at different strain amplitudes. Microstructure analysis, texture measurement, and SEM ... -
Fatigue characterization and modeling of AZ31B magnesium alloy spot-welds
(Elsevier, 2014-07-01)Cyclic behavior of AZ31B spot-welds was studied using different specimen configurations, and compared with steel and aluminum spot-welds. Fatigue strength of magnesium spot-welds was similar to aluminum and less than steel. ... -
Fatigue Life Prediction of an Automotive Chassis System with Combined Hardening Material Model
(Society of Automotive Engineers, 2016-04-05)The choice of an appropriate material model with parameters derived from testing and proper modeling of stress-strain response during cyclic loading are the critical steps for accurate fatigue-life prediction of complex ... -
Fatigue related impairments in oculomotor control are prevented by caffeine
(Nature, 2016-05-25)Strenuous exercise can result in an inability of the central nervous system to drive skeletal muscle effectively, a phenomenon known as central fatigue. The impact of central fatigue on the oculomotor system is currently ... -
Fear of compassion is associated with treatment ambivalence and negative expectations for treatment in people with anxiety
(British Psychological Society, 2021-06-12)Objectives. Fears of compassion are hypothesized to be associated with treatment attitudes, but this relationship has not yet been explored. Methods. Measures of fear of compassion and treatment expectations and ambivalence ... -
Fearful, surprised, happy, and angry facial expressions modulate gaze-oriented attention: behavioral and ERP evidence.
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-09-18)The impact of emotions on gaze-oriented attention was investigated in non-anxious participants. A neutral face cue with straight gaze was presented, which then averted its gaze to the side while remaining neutral or ... -
Fears of receiving compassion from others predict safety behaviour use in social anxiety disorder over and above fears of negative self-portrayal
(Elsevier, 2021-05)Why do people with social anxiety disorder (SAD) engage in the use of safety behaviours? While past research has established that fears of negative self-portrayal are strongly associated with safety behaviour use in SAD, ... -
Feasibility of Injecting Large Volumes of CO2 into Aquifers
(Elsevier, 2009-02)Although it is recognized that deep aquifers offer a very large potential storage capacity for CO2 sequestration it is not clear how to fill the storage with a large volume of CO2 in a relatively short period of time. The ... -
Feature identification in time series data sets
(Elsevier, 2019-05)We present a computationally inexpensive, flexible feature identification method which uses a comparison of time series to identify a rank-ordered set of features in geophysically-sourced data sets. Many physical phenomena ... -
Feeling Precarious: Millennial Women and Work
(Sage, 2015-12-18)In Precarious Life (2004), Judith Butler writes about how a shared sense of fear and vulnerability opens the possibility of recognizing interdependency. This is a wider understanding of precarity than is often present in ... -
Feeling through another's eyes: Perceived gaze direction impacts ERP and behavioural measures of positive and negative affective empathy
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)Looking at the eyes informs us about the thoughts and emotions of those around us, and impacts our own emotional state. However, it is unknown how perceiving direct and averted gaze impacts our ability to share the gazer's ... -
Felines, Foragers, and Physicists: Supporting Scientific Outreach with Multi-Surface and Multi-Space Games
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-11-06)We describe the design, development, and deployment of two scientific outreach games to support an open house event at an Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) by an 11-member team of academics and practitioners over a ... -
Feminist Shadow Networks: 'Thinking, Talking, and Making' as Praxes of Relationality and Care
(Open Library of Humanities, 2023-10-17)In the face of the constraints and pressures of the neoliberal university, this article argues for the importance of feminist shadow networks as a response to the unequal academic grounds on which scholars and students are ... -
Field validation of DNA-based biosensor for rapid detection of ultra-trace mercury(II) in natural waters
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Mercury (Hg) remains a significant pollutant of global concern. In particular, contamination of surface water and groundwater by Hg poses severe threats, unrecognized in many cases, to the drinking water safety of numerous, ... -
Fighting Impostor Syndrome: How Librarians Are Bridging the Gap Between the Humanities and the Sciences
(2017-02-01)While many librarians possess undergraduate degrees in the humanities, increasingly, there are excellent job prospects emerging in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. New graduates and librarians who ... -
