The Joint Strike Fighter / F-35 Program: A Canadian Technology Policy Perspective
(Air University Press, 2014-03)The Canadian F-35 procurement represents the largest peacetime acquisition of new aircraft for Canadian forces since the Korean War. Securing industrial benefits from military procurement is essential for advanced ... -
Juicy Haptic Design: Vibrotactile Embellishments Can Improve Player Experience in Games
(ACM, 2021-05)Game designers and researchers employ a sophisticated language for producing great player experiences with concepts such as juici- ness, which refers to excessive positive feedback. However, much of their discourse excludes ... -
Keyframe-based monocular SLAM: design, survey, and future directions
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)Extensive research in the field of monocular SLAM for the past fifteen years has yielded workable systems that found their way into various applications in robotics and augmented reality. Although filter-based monocular ... -
Kinematic and three-dimensional dynamic modeling of a biped robot
(Sage, 2017-03-01)This article focuses on inverse kinematic formulation and dynamic modeling of the Nao biped robot's lower body, accompanied by verification with the joints' angles as experimental data. Dynamic modeling in two different ... -
Knee power is an important parameter in understanding medial knee joint load in knee osteoarthritis.
(Wiley, 2014-05-01)Objective To determine the extent to which knee extensor strength and power explain variance in knee adduction moment (KAM) peak and impulse in clinical knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Fifty-three adults (mean ± SD age ... -
La gerçure énorme » de l’être à venir chez Yves Préfontaine
(Presses Universitaires du Québec, 2012)Dans l’article signé par Élise Lepage sur Pays sans parole (1967), d’Yves Préfontaine, on assiste au démantèlement de cet optimisme. Le corps, la parole et le territoire sont de partout craquelés, et l’aspiration verticale, ... -
Label-Free Ag+ Detection by Enhancing DNA Sensitized Tb3+ Luminescence
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016-08-26)In this work, the effect of Ag+ on DNA sensitized Tb3+ luminescence was studied initially using the Ag+-specific RNA-cleaving DNAzyme, Ag10c. While we expected to observe luminescence quenching by Ag+, a significant ... -
Lack of Foraging Site Fidelity Between Years by Common Nighthawks (Chordeiles minor)
(University of Notre Dame, 2021-01)Birds in the family Caprimulgidae generally exhibit high nest site fidelity, but it is not known if fidelity extends to foraging sites, especially for Common Nighthawks (Chordeiles minor), which are otherwise one of the ... -
A Lagrangian model for hardening behaviour of materials at finite deformation based on the right plastic stretch tensor
(Elsevier, 2010-05-01)In this paper a modified multiplicative decomposition of the right stretch tensor is proposed and used for finite deformation elastoplastic analysis of hardening materials. The total symmetric right stretch tensor is ... -
Laminar Free Convection from a Pair of Horizontal Cylinders: A Three-Temperature Problem
(2015-06)The formulation of multi-temperature convection problems in terms of a single driving temperature difference and a single heat transfer coefficient does not properly reflect the physics of the problem. Paired heat transfer ... -
Laminated Injection Mould with Conformal Cooling Channels: Optimization, Fabrication and Testing
(World Academic Publishing, 2013-06-01)Conformal cooling channels follow the cavity shape and can provide a better cooling performance in injection moulds. Laminated tooling is one of the techniques for manufacturing injection moulds with conformal cooling ... -
Landowner Perceptions Of The Value Of Natural Forest And Natural Grassland In A Mosaic Ecosystem In Southern Brazil
(Springer, 2016-03-01)The forest-grassland mosaics of southern Brazil have been subject to many land use and policy changes over the decades. Like many grasslands around the world, the Campos grasslands are declining with few conservation efforts ... -
Landscape characteristics influencing the genetic structure of greater sage-grouse within the stronghold of their range: a holistic modeling approach
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)Given the significance of animal dispersal to population dynamics and geographic variability, understanding how dispersal is impacted by landscape patterns has major ecological and conservation importance. Speaking to the ... -
Landscapes for Energy and Wildlife: Conservation Prioritization for Golden Eagles across Large Spatial Scales
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Proactive conservation planning for species requires the identification of important spatial attributes across ecologically relevant scales in a model-based framework. However, it is often difficult to develop predictive ... -
Large Aperiodic Semigroups
(World Scientific Publishing, 2015-11-01)We search for the largest syntactic semigroups of star-free languages having n left quotients; equivalently, we look for the largest transition semigroups of aperiodic finite automata with n states. We first introduce ... -
Large eddy simulation of transitional separated flow over a low Reynolds number cambered airfoil
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2023-03)The accurate simulation of the aerodynamic behavior of low Reynolds number (Re) cambered airfoils requires the ability to capture the transitional separated boundary layer (BL) that occurs naturally on the surface of the ... -
Late-lumping backstepping control of partial differential equations
(Elsevier, 2019-02)We consider in this paper three different partial differential equations (PDEs) that can be exponentially stabilized using backstepping controllers. For implementation, a finite-dimensional controller is generally needed. ... -
Le devenir paysager. De quelques paysages postindustriels entre arts visuels et poésie
(University of Toronto Press, 2015)Abstract This essay proposes an analysis of the concept of landscape in contemporary Quebec visual arts and poetry. A brief archaeology of the landscape shows the pictorial origins of this genre, as well as the ... -
Le paysage chez Robert Melançon: Entre milieu citadin et scène baroque
(Université Laval, 2015)Cet article interroge le paysage urbain dans Le paradis des apparences (2004) de Robert Melançon en mobilisant tour à tour les concepts de « milieu » (Berque) et d’« espaces mineur et majeur » (Desportes), qui invitent à ... -
