Lightweight Games User Research for Indies and Non-Profit Organizations
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2016-05-07)The Games User Research (GUR) community has thrived at CHI with four workshops and a course since CHI 2012; all of these were well attended. In line with the #chi4good spirit this year, the GUR field must advance towards ... -
Like Parent, Like Millennial: Inherited and Switched (Non)Religion Among Young Adults in the U.S. and Canada
(Brill, 2020-05-27)Using novel quantitative data from the Millennial Trends Survey administered online in March 2019 with over 2,500 respondents between the ages of 18 and 35 in both Canada and the U.S., we examine in detail inherited ... -
The Limits of Incrementalism: The G20, the FSB, and the International Regulatory Agenda
(De Gruyter, 2012-01)At their very first summit in Washington in November 2008, the G20 leaders placed the reform of international financial regulation at the core of their agenda. The issue has retained a central place in discussions and ... -
Line-based deep learning method for tree branch detection from digital images
(Elsevier, 2022-06)Preventive maintenance of power lines, including cutting and pruning of tree branches, is essential to avoid interruptions in the energy supply. Automatic methods can support this risky task and also reduce time consuming. ... -
Linear and Nonlinear Regression Techniques for Simultaneous and Proportional Myoelectric Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014-03-01)In recent years the number of active controllable joints in electrically powered hand-prostheses has increased significantly. However, the control strategies for these devices in current clinical use are inadequate as they ... -
Linear preservers of polynomial numerical hulls of matrices
(Elsevier, 2019-08-15)Let Mn be the algebra of all n × n complex matrices, 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1 be an integer, and φ : Mn −→ Mn be a linear operator. In this paper, it is shown that φ preserves the polynomial numerical hull of order k if and only if ... -
Linearized Stability of Partial Differential Equations with Application to Stabilization of the Kuramoto--Sivashinsky Equation
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018-01-05)Linearization is a useful tool for analyzing the stability of nonlinear differential equations. Unfortunately, the proof of the validity of this approach for ordinary differential equations does not generalize to all ... -
Linking Lattice Strain and Electron Transfer Kinetics in Crystalline Layered Double Hydroxides
(American Chemical Society, 2022-09-28)The improved electrocatalytic property of disordered metal hydroxides relative to that of crystalline layered double hydroxides remains a poorly understood phenomenon. We use a hydrothermally synthesized series of mixed ... -
Links between Surface Changes with Strain whitening, Shear Banding and Damage in a Toughened Epoxy Adhesive
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-02-24)Owing to the increased use of toughened epoxy adhesives in current transportation light weighting efforts, it is critical that the damage mechanisms observable as strain whitening in these materials are understood and ... -
Liposome Supported Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: Interaction Mechanism, Light Controlled Content Release and Intracellular Delivery
(Wiley, 2014-05-26)Zwitterionic phosphotydylcholine liposomes stably adsorb a number of metal oxide nanoparticles via its phosphate group. This is different from physisorption and fusion with SiO2. The hybrid materials can be internalized ... -
Liposome/Graphene Oxide Interaction Studied by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
(American Chemical Society, 2015-03-15)The interaction between graphene oxide (GO) and lipid bilayers is important for fundamental surface science and many applications. In this work, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), cryo-TEM, and fluorescence spectroscopy ... -
Liquid metal embrittlement in laser lap joining of TWIP and medium-manganese TRIP steel: The role of stress and grain boundaries
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)High-Manganese austenite-containing steels with superior combination of strength and ductility have shown potential for enhancement of passenger safety and body-in-white (BIW) weight reduction. Even though Zn-coated ... -
List 3-Coloring Graphs with No Induced P6+rP3
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-01)For an integer t, we let Pt denote the t-vertex path. We write H+G for the disjoint union of two graphs H and G, and for an integer r and a graph H, we write rH for the disjoint union of r copies of H. We say that a graph ... -
List 3-coloring Pt-free graphs with no induced 1-subdivision of K1,s
(Elsevier, 2020-11)Let s and t be positive integers. We use Pt to denote the path with t vertices and K1,s to denote the complete bipartite graph with parts of size 1 and s respectively. The one-subdivision of K1,s is obtained by replacing ... -
List-3-Coloring Ordered Graphs with a Forbidden Induced Subgraph
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2024-03)Abstract. The List-3-Coloring Problem is to decide, given a graph G and a list L(v) ⊆ {1, 2, 3} of colors assigned to each vertex v of G, whether G admits a proper coloring ϕ with ϕ(v) ∈ L(v) for every vertex v of G, and ... -
Living whose best life? An intersectional feminist interrogation of postfeminist #solidarity in #selfcare
(NECS European Network for Cinema and Media Studies, 2021-06-05)This article argues that one of the many ways that white supremacy functions within digital culture is to obscure the realities of social inequity via neoliberal dictums for self-improvement and individ-ualist calls to ... -
Load path sensitivity and fatigue life estimation of 30CrNiMo8HH
(Elsevier, 2012-04-01)A set of strain-controlled biaxial proportional and non-proportional tests were conducted on solid and tubular specimens of 30CrNiMo8HH steel. The effect of the phase angle on fatigue life was studied. This effect becomes ... -
Load-sharing and kinematics of the human cervical spine under multi-axial transverse shear loading: combined experimental and computational investigation
(National Library of Medicine, 2021-06)The cervical spine experiences shear forces during everyday activities and injurious events yet there is a paucity of biomechanical data characterizing the cervical spine under shear loading. This study aimed to 1) ... -
