Monolith: a monolithic pressure-viscosity-contact solver for strong two-way rigid-rigid rigid-fluid coupling
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2020-11)We propose Monolith, a monolithic pressure-viscosity-contact solver for more accurately, robustly, and efficiently simulating non-trivial two-way interactions of rigid bodies with inviscid, viscous, or non-Newtonian liquids. ... -
Monomolecular films of arborescent polystyrene− graft −poly(2-vinylpyridine) copolymers: Precursors to nanostructured carbon materials
(Elsevier, 2017-08-23)An arborescent polystyrene (PS)−graft−poly(2-vinylpyridine) (P2VP) copolymer of overall generation number G2, consisting of side chains with Mn ∼5000, served as template for the preparation of nanostructured carbon films. ... -
Monotonic and cyclic behaviour of cast and cast-forged AZ80 Mg
(Elsevier, 2017-11)Tensile and strain-controlled fatigue tests were performed to investigate the influence of forging on the performance of cast AZ80 magnesium alloy. The obtained microstructural analysis showed that the as-cast AZ80 magnesium ... -
A Monte Carlo Method for Fluid Simulation
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-12)We present a novel Monte Carlo-based fluid simulation approach capable of pointwise and stochastic estimation of fluid motion. Drawing on the Feynman-Kac representation of the vorticity transport equation, we propose a ... -

More Knowledge on the Go: A Survey of Mobile Device Usage in Pharmacy
(2013-05-23)Although there are studies that explore the use of mobile devices by physicians and pharmacists, there has not been a study to date that examines the prevalence and usage patterns of mobile devices amongst pharmacy students ... -
More support needed: Evaluating the impact of school e-cigarette prevention and cessation programs on e-cigarette initiation among a sample of Canadian secondary school students
(Elsevier, 2022-02)Given the recent increase in e-cigarette use among adolescents, there is a need to further explore how school programs are associated with e-cigarette initiation. The objective of this quasi-experimental study was to ... -
Morse: Reducing the Feature Interaction Explosion Problem Using Subject Matter Knowledge as Abstract Requirements
(IEEE, 2018-08)The feature interaction problem appears in many different kinds of complex systems, especially systems whose elements are created or maintained by separate entities - for example, a modern automobile that incorporates ... -
Mortality management and climate action: A review and reference for using Terror Management Theory methods in interdisciplinary environmental research
(Wiley, 2022-03-23)Global climate change awareness is increasing, but efforts to convey information can trigger undesirable behaviors, including denial, scepticism, and increased resource consumption. It is therefore essential to more fully ... -
Most Complex Non-returning Regular Languages
(Springer, 2017-07-03)A regular language L is non-returning if in the minimal deterministic finite automaton accepting it there are no transitions into the initial state. Eom, Han and Jirásková derived upper bounds on the state complexity of ... -
Most Complex Regular Ideal Languages
(Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, 2016-10-17)A right ideal (left ideal, two-sided ideal) is a non-empty language $L$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ such that $L=L\Sigma^*$ ($L=\Sigma^*L$, $L=\Sigma^*L\Sigma^*$). Let $k=3$ for right ideals, 4 for left ideals and 5 for ... -
Most Complex Regular Right-Ideal Languages
(Springer, 2014)A right ideal is a language L over an alphabet Sigma that satisfies the equation L = L Sigma*. We show that there exists a sequence (Rn vertical bar n >= 3) of regular right-ideal languages, where R-n has n left quotients ... -
Mother-Child Communication: The Influence of ADHD Symptomatology and Executive Functioning on Paralinguistic Style
(Frontiers, 2016-08-10)Paralinguistic style, involving features of speech such as pitch and volume, is an important aspect of one’s communicative competence. However, little is known about the behavioral traits and cognitive skills that relate ... -
Motivational Affordance and Risk-Taking Across Decision Domains
(SAGE Publications, 2016-03-01)We propose a motivational affordance account to explain both stability and variability in risk-taking propensity in major decision domains. We draw on regulatory focus theory to differentiate two types of motivation ... -
Motivational Versus Metabolic Effects of Carbohydrates on Self-Control
(Sage Publications, 2012-10-01)Self-control is critical for achievement and well-being. However, people’s capacity for self-control is limited and becomes depleted through use. One prominent explanation for this depletion posits that self-control consumes ... -
Motor Unit Characteristics after Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
(Public Library of Science, 2016-02-22)Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical procedure used to redirect nerves originally controlling muscles of the amputated limb into remaining muscles above the amputation, to treat phantom limb pain and facilitate ... -
Movement-related cortical potentials in paraplegic patients: abnormal patterns and considerations for BCI-rehabilitation
(Frontiers, 2014-08-27)Non-invasive EEG-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) can be promising for the motor neuro-rehabilitation of paraplegic patients. However, this shall require detailed knowledge of the abnormalities in the EEG signatures ... -
MRI guided brain stimulation without the use of a neuro-navigation system.
(Hindawi Publishing, 2015-01-01)A key issue in the field of noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is the accurate localization of scalp positions that correspond to targeted cortical areas. The current gold standard is to combine structural and functional ... -
mSLA-based 3D printing of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil - nano-hydroxyapatite composites for bone repair
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Structural bone allografts are used to treat critically sized segmental bone defects (CSBDs) as such defects are too large to heal naturally. Development of biomaterials with competent mechanical properties that can also ... -
A Multi-class BCI based on Somatosensory Imagery
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-06-18)In this study, we investigated the performance of a multi-class brain-computer interface (BCI). The BCI system is based on the concept of somatosensory attentional orientation (SAO), in which the user shifts and maintains ...
