Incorporating Ligament Laxity in the Upper Cervical Spine for Finite Element Modeling
(Elsevier, 2017-06-30)Background Context: Predicting physiological range of motion (ROM) using a finite element (FE) model of the upper cervical spine requires the incorporation of ligament laxity. The effect of ligament laxity can only be ... -
Incorporating sex, gender and vulnerable populations in a large multisite health research programme: The Ontario Pharmacy Evidence Network as a case study
(BioMed Central, 2017-03-20)Background: Funders now frequently require that sex and gender be considered in research programmes, but provide little guidance about how this can be accomplished, especially in large research programmes. The purpose of ... -
Incorporating Water Demand Management into a Cooperative Water Allocation Framework
(Springer, 2016-07-01)The impact of a water demand management plan on a water system and its users is investigated within a comprehensive cooperative water allocation framework. In particular, a demand management plan is incorporated into a ... -
Increased Early Sensitivity to Eyes in Mouthless Faces: In Support of the LIFTED Model of Early Face Processing
(Springer, 2018-07-09)The N170 ERP component is a central neural marker of early face perception usually thought to reflect holistic processing. However, it is also highly sensitive to eyes presented in isolation and to fixation on the eyes ... -
Increased interference fringe visibility from the post-fabrication heat treatment of a perfect crystal silicon neutron interferometer
(AIP Publishing, 2018-02-08)We find that annealing a previously chemically etched interferometer at 800 degrees C dramatically increased the interference fringe visibility from 23% to 90%. The Bragg plane misalignments were also measured before and ... -
Increasing Passersby Engagement with Public Large Interactive Displays: A Study of Proxemics and Conation
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2018-11-19)Prior research has shown that large interactive displays de- ployed in public spaces are often underutilized, or even un- noticed, phenomena connected to ‘interaction’ and ‘display blindness’, respectively. To better ... -
Incremental and Commutative Composition of State-Machine Models of Features
(IEEE, 2015-05)In this paper, we present a technique for incre- mental and commutative composition of state-machine models of features, using the FeatureHouse framework. The inputs to FeatureHouse are feature state-machines (or state-machine ... -
Independence conditions and the analysis of life history studies with intermittent observation
(Oxford University Press, 2021-07)Multistate models provide a powerful framework for the analysis of life history processes when the goal is to characterize transition intensities, transition probabilities, state occupancy probabilities, and covariate ... -
India and the Neglected Development Dimensions of Bretton Woods
(2015-07-18)This paper helps correct two common misconceptions about the origins of the Bretton Woods institutions. The first is that the negotiations were primarily an Anglo-American affair in which developing countries had little ... -
India's biophysical economy, 1961-2008. Sustainability in a national and global context
(Elsevier, 2012-04-01)India's economic growth in the last decade has raised several concerns in terms of its present and future resource demands for materials and energy. While per capita resource consumption is still extremely modest but on ... -
Indium Oxide Doped Polyaniline for Detection of Formaldehyde
(Wiley, 2022-06-22)Polyaniline (PANI) and a polyaniline derivative (poly (2,5-dimethyl aniline)) were evaluated for their sensitivity towards formaldehyde. Among the two polymer backbones evaluated, polyaniline seemed more sensitive towards ... -
Individual differences in the emotional modulation of gaze-cuing
(Taylor and Francis, 2018-07-08)Gaze-cuing refers to the spontaneous orienting of attention towards a gazed-at location, characterised by shorter response times to gazed-at than non-gazed at targets. Previous research suggests that processing of these ... -
Indoor-Side Convection Coefficients for Complex Fenestration Systems with Roller Blinds
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2017-01)In order to characterize the resistor network that describes convective heat transfer on the indoor side of a complex fenestration system, three convection coefficients are needed. Although methods to obtain convection ... -
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions II. Toward walls and their line graphs in graphs of bounded degree.
(Elsevier, 2024-01)This paper is motivated by the following question: what are the unavoidable induced subgraphs of graphs with large treewidth? Aboulker et al. made a conjecture which answers this question in graphs of bounded maximum ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions III. Three-Path-Configurations and Logarithmic Treewidth.
(Advances in Combinatorics, 2022-09-09)A theta is a graph consisting of two non-adjacent vertices and three internally disjoint paths between them, each of length at least two. For a family H of graphs, we say a graph G is H-free if no induced subgraph of G is ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions IV. (Even Hole, Diamond, Pyramid)-Free Graphs
(Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2023-06-16)A hole in a graph G is an induced cycle of length at least four, and an even hole is a hole of even length. The diamond is the graph obtained from the complete graph K4 by removing an edge. A pyramid is a graph consisting ... -
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions VII. Basic obstructions in H-free graphs.
(Elsevier, 2024-01)We say a class C of graphs is clean if for every positive integer t there exists a positive integer w(t) such that every graph in C with treewidth more than w(t) contains an induced subgraph isomorphic to one of the ... -
Induced Subgraphs and Tree Decompositions VIII: Excluding a Forest in (Theta, Prism)-Free Graphs
(Springer, 2024-04-08)Given a graph H, we prove that every (theta, prism)-free graph of sufficiently large treewidth contains either a large clique or an induced subgraph isomorphic to H, if and only if H is a forest. -
Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. VIII. Long odd holes
(Elsevier, 2020-01)We prove a conjecture of András Gyárfás, that for all k, l, every graph with clique number at most κ and sufficiently large chromatic number has an odd hole of length at least ℓ. -
