Process Planning for Additive Manufacturing of Geometries with Variable Overhang Angles using a Robotic Laser Directed Energy Deposition system
(Elsevier, 2022-01)In the present work, a novel Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) process planning methodology is proposed to build a dome structure with variable overhang angles. Overhang structures with different overhang angles were ... -
Processability and tensile performance of continuous glass fiber/polyamide laminates for structural load-bearing applications
(Elsevier, 2018-02)The performance of continuous E-glass/polyamide 6 laminates processed using distinct hot press moulding cycles was assessed and compared with similar E-glass/epoxy and E-glass/polypropylene laminates. The effects of peak ... -
Profiling Metal Oxides with Lipids: Magnetic Liposomal Nanoparticles Displaying DNA and Proteins
(Wiley, 2016-09-19)Metal oxides include many important materials with various surface properties. For biomedical and analytical applications, it is desirable to engineer their biocompatible interfaces. Herein, a phosphocholine liposome (DOPC) ... -
Profit Maximizing Hub Location Problems
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)In this paper, we study profit maximizing hub location problems. We formulate mathematical models determining the location of hubs, designing the hub networks, and routing the demand in order to maximize profit. The profit ... -
Programmable Assembly of DNA-Functionalized Liposomes by DNA
(American Chemical Society, 2011-02-22)Bionanotechnology involves the use of biomolecules to control both the structure and property of nanomaterials. One of the most studied examples is DNA-directed assembly of inorganic nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles ... -
Progress towards Automated Human Factors Evaluation
(Elsevier, 2015-10-23)Human factors tests are important components of systems design. Designers need to evaluate users’ performance and workload while using a system and compare different design options to determine the optimal design choice. ... -
Promoting Resiliency in Emergency Communication Networks: A Network Interdiction Stylized Initial Case Study Model of a Miami-Dade County Network
(IGI Global, 2017)Police, fire, and emergency personnel rely on wireless networks to serve the public. Whether it is during a natural disaster, or just an ordinary calendar day, wireless nodes of varying types form the infrastructure that ... -
The Proof is in the Pudding: Building a Local Repository for Online Learning Objects
(Association of College & Research Libraries, 2021)Libraries are increasingly building collections of learning materials in electronic formats. As the availability grows, it becomes necessary to consider the long-term discovery, access, management, and local ownership ... -
Proof of the Kalai-Meshulam conjecture
(Springer Nature, 2020-07-01)Let G be a graph, and let fG be the sum of (−1)∣A∣, over all stable sets A. If G is a cycle with length divisible by three, then fG = ±2. Motivated by topological considerations, G. Kalai and R. Meshulam [8] made the ... -
The PROSPECT reactor antineutrino experiment
(Elsevier, 2019-04-01)The Precision Reactor Oscillation and Spectrum Experiment, PROSPECT, is designed to make both a precise measurement of the antineutrino spectrum from a highly-enriched uranium reactor and to probe eV-scale sterile neutrinos ... -
Protection and Promotion of UV Radiation-Induced Liposome Leakage via DNA-Directed Assembly with Gold Nanoparticles
(Wiley, 2011-07-26)DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles and liposomes are assembled by a linker DNA. The gold nanoparticles can either protect the liposome from UV radiation induced leakage or can promote the leakage, depending on the DNA ... -
Protocol for Usability Testing and Validation of the ISO Draft International Standard 19223 for Lung Ventilators
(JMIR, 2017-09-08)Background: Clinicians, such as respiratory therapists and physicians, are often required to set up pieces of medical equipment that use inconsistent terminology. Current lung ventilator terminology that is used by different ... -

Provocations from #vanlife: Investigating Life and Work in a Community Extensively Using Technology Not Designed for Them
(ACM, 2021-05)Research on how lived experiences with technology intersect with home and work are core themes within HCI. Prior work has primarily focused on conventional life and work in Western countries. However, the unconventional ... -
The Psychogeographies of Site-Specific Art
(HAL Open Science, 2018-07-16)Contemporary efforts at urban revitalization have encouraged an increased production of site-specific public art events that temporarily inhabit popular city hubs. These “pop up†interventions range from loosely assembled ... -
Psychological Prices at Retail Gasoline Stations: The Policies of 0-, 5-, and 9-Ending Prices
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-07-12)Psychological prices are known to impact consumer behaviour and to depend on retailers’ characteristics. Less understood is last digit pricing, especially in the context of retail gasoline stations. We study price endings ... -
PtSe2 Field-Effect Transistors: New Opportunities for Electronic Devices
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-11-15)PtSe2, a new family of transition metal dichalcogenides, has been explored for electronic device applications using density functional theory (DFT) and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) within the third nearest ... -
Public Willingness to Pay for Water Quality Improvements in the Great Lakes Basin Before and During Covid-19
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Economic valuation of water quality improvements is an essential input to inform policy and decision-making towards sustainable watershed management. The economic values provide important insight in the wide variety of ... -
Pure Pairs VI. Excluding an Ordered Tree.
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2022-01)A pure pair in a graph G is a pair (Z1,Z2) of disjoint sets of vertices such that either every vertex in Z1 is adjacent to every vertex in Z2, or there are no edges between Z1 and Z2. With Maria Chudnovsky, we recently ... -
Pure pairs. I. Trees and linear anticomplete pairs
