Association of strength, power, and physical performance with muscle mass and composition in older males: a comparison of muscle thickness, echo intensity, and lean tissue mass
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2022-05)Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) appendicular lean tissue is used to screen older adults for sarcopenia. However, emerging data indicates that ageing-related muscle atrophy largely occurs within specific muscles, ... -
Astra Version 1.0: Evaluating Translations from Alloy to SMT-LIB
(2019-06-13)We present a variety of translation options for converting Alloy to SMT-LIB via Alloy’s Kodkod interface. Our translations, which are implemented in a library that we call Astra, are based on converting the set and relational ... -
An asymmetric elastic-plastic analysis of the load-controlled rotating bending test and its application in the fatigue life estimation of wrought magnesium AZ31B
(Elsevier, 2014-07-01)Due to different deformation mechanisms arising from limited slip systems in HCP wrought magnesium alloys, their yield and hardening in tension and compression are different. Consequently, the cyclic behavior of these ... -
Asymmetric Graetz Problem: The Analytical Solution Revisited
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2017-01-01)Forced-convective heat transfer from the walls of an asymmetrically heated channel to the fluid passing through in a laminar, hydrodynamically developed flow is known as the asymmetric Graetz problem. Several analytical ... -
Asymmetric soft-hard colloidal mixtures: osmotic effects, glassy states and rheology
(American Institute of Physics, 2017-09-06)Whereas mixtures of colloids and non-adsorbing polymers have been studied in great detail in the last two decades, binary colloidal mixtures have not received much attention. Yet, fragmental evidence from asymmetric mixtures ... -
Asymmetry in Gaze Direction Discrimination Between the Upper and Lower Visual Fields
(Sage, 2017-01-06)Previous research has shown that gaze direction can only be accurately discriminated within parafoveal limits (∼5° eccentricity) along the horizontal visual field. Beyond this eccentricity, head orientation seems to influence ... -
The asymptotic estimates and Hasse principle for multidimensional Waring's problem
(Elsevier, 2019-09-07)Motivated by the asymptotic estimates and Hasse principle for multidimensional Waring's problem via the circle method, we prove for the first time that the corresponding singular series is bounded below by an absolute ... -
Atmospheric acidification of mineral aerosols: a source of bioavailable phosphorus for the oceans
(European Geosciences Union, 2011-07-01)Primary productivity of continental and marine ecosystems is often limited or co-limited by phosphorus. Deposition of atmospheric aerosols provides the major external source of phosphorus to marine surface waters. However, ... -
Atomic force microscopy analysis of the effect of plasma treatment on gas permeable contact lens surface topography
(Elsevier, 2019-02-23)Purpose: Using atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate anterior surface topography (AST) in worn and unworn, plasma surface-treated (PST) and untreated (UT) gas permeable (GP) lenses, and influence of surface topography ... -
Atomic force microscopy and Langmuir–Blodgett monolayer technique to assess contact lens deposits and human meibum extracts
(Elsevier, 2015-07)Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate the differences in meibomian gland secretions, contact lens (CL) lipid extracts, and CL surface topography between participants with and without meibomian ... -
Atomic shell structure from an orbital-free-related density-functional-theory Pauli potential
(American Physical Society, 2020-07)Polymer self-consistent field theory techniques are used to find radial electron densities and total binding energies for isolated atoms. Quantum particles are modeled as Gaussian threads with ring-polymer architecture in ... -
Attaching DNA to Nanoceria: Regulating Oxidase Activity and Fluorescence Quenching
(American Chemical Society, 2013-08-14)Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) have recently emerged as a nanozyme with oxidase activity. In this work, we present a few important interfacial properties of nanoceria. First, the surface charge of nanoceria can be ... -
Attention Capture by Direct Gaze is Robust to Context and Task Demands
(Springer, 2012-01-10)Eye-tracking was used to investigate whether gaze direction would influence the visual scanning of faces, when presented in the context of a full character, in different social settings, and with different task demands. ... -
Attention Orienting by Gaze and Facial Expressions Across Development
(APA, 2013-06)Processing of facial expressions has been shown to potentiate orienting of attention toward the direction signaled by gaze in adults, an important social–cognitive function. However, little is known about how this social ... -
Attention orienting by gaze and facial expressions across development
(Ovid, 2013-06)Processing of facial expressions has been shown to potentiate orienting of attention toward the direction signaled by gaze in adults, an important social-cognitive function. However, little is known about how this social ... -
Augmented composite likelihood for copula modeling in family studies under biased sampling
(Oxford University Press, 2016-01-27)The heritability of chronic diseases can be effectively studied by examining the nature and extent of within-family associations in disease onset times. Families are typically accrued through a biased sampling scheme in ... -
