Spontaneous eye-movements in neutral and emotional gaze-cuing: An eye-tracking investigation
(Elsevier, 2019-04)Our attention is spontaneously oriented in the direction where others are looking. This attention shift manifests as faster responses to peripheral targets when they are gazed at by a central face instead of gazed away ... -
Spontaneous Tilting Transition in Liquid-Crystalline Polymer Brushes
(2019)The equilibrium phase behavior of main-chain liquid-crystalline polymer brushes in good solvent is investigated using self-consistent field theory. The calculation assumes semi-dilute brushes, where the grafting density ... -
Spontaneous weaving: 3D porous PtCu networks with ultrathin jagged nanowires for highly efficient oxygen reduction reaction
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)We report a simple and efficient surfactant-free method to prepare 3D porous PtCu networks with ultrathin jagged nanowires and controllable composition. The morphological evolution and the influential effects of the important ... -
Stability analysis by contraction principle for impulsive systems with infinite delays
(Elsevier, 2020-03)This paper studies a class of quasi-linear impulsive systems of functional differential equations with infinite time delay. By employing the contraction principle, several criteria on uniform stability and asymptotic ... -
Stability and Well-posedness of a Nonlinear Railway Track Model
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-06-22)Railway tracks rest on a foundation known for exhibiting nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Railway track deflections are modeled by a semilinear partial differential equation. This paper studies the stability of solutions ... -
Stability of Connected Autonomous Vehicle Networks with Commensurate Time Delays
(IEEE, 2021-05)In this paper, we study the stability of Connected Autonomous Vehicle Networks (CAVN) with commensurate time delays under the assumption that communication time delays increase as the distance between the vehicles increases. ... -
A Stability Theorem for Matchings in Tripartite 3-Graphs
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-04-02)It follows from known results that every regular tripartite hypergraph of positive degree, with n vertices in each class, has matching number at least n/2. This bound is best possible, and the extremal configuration is ... -
Stability, bifurcation and phase-locking of time-delayed excitatory-inhibitory neural networks
(AIMS Press, 2020-11)We study a model for a network of synaptically coupled, excitable neurons to identify the role of coupling delays in generating different network behaviors. The network consists of two distinct populations, each of which ... -
Stability-based fire resistance duration of unbraced steel frames
(Journal of Structural Fire Engineering, 2020)Purpose The collapse of a structure resulting from the instability of steel frames due to fire is the worst failure mode to consider in fire-structural engineering, and should be avoided. The purpose of this paper is to ... -
A Stable Lipid/TiO2 Interface with Headgroup Inversed Phosphocholine and a Comparison with SiO2
(American Chemical Society, 2015-09-16)Zwitterionic phosphocholine (PC) lipids are highly biocompatible, representing a major component of the cell membrane. A simple mixing of PC liposomes and silica (SiO2) surface results in liposome fusion with the surface ... -
Standalone Tensile Testing of Thin Film Materials for MEMS/NEMS Applications
(In Tech, 2012-03-28)The microelectronics industry has been consistently driven by the scaling roadmap, colloquially referred to as the Moore’s law. Consequently, during the past decades, integrated circuits have scaled down further. This ... -
State of research in automatic as-built modelling
(Elsevier, 2015-04-01)Building Information Models (BIMs) are becoming the official standard in the construction industry for encoding, reusing, and exchanging information about structural assets. Automatically generating such representations ... -
Static Profiling of Alloy Models
(IEEE, 2023-02)Modeling of software-intensive systems using formal declarative modeling languages offers a means of managing software complexity through the use of abstraction and early identification of correctness issues by formal ... -
Statistical Issues in Modeling Chronic Disease in Cohort Studies
(Springer, 2014)Observational cohort studies of individuals with chronic disease provide information on rates of disease progression, the effect of fixed and time-varying risk factors, and the extent of heterogeneity in the course of ... -
Statistical methods for incomplete data: Some results on model misspecification
(Sage Publishing, 2017-02-01)Inverse probability weighted estimating equations and multiple imputation are two of the most studied frameworks for dealing with incomplete data in clinical and epidemiological research. We examine the limiting behaviour ... -
Statistical Physics Of Vaccination
(Elsevier, 2016-12-09)Historically, infectious diseases caused considerable damage to human societies, and they continue to do so today. To help reduce their impact, mathematical models of disease transmission have been studied to help understand ... -
Steering disturbance rejection using a physics-based neuromusculoskeletal driver model
(Taylor and Francis+NEJM, 2015-06-17)The aim of this work is to develop a comprehensive yet practical driver model to be used in studying driver–vehicle interactions. Drivers interact with their vehicle and the road through the steering wheel. This interaction ... -
Stereoscopic image quality assessment by deep convolutional neural network
(Elsevier, 2019-01)In this paper, we propose a no-reference (NR) quality assessment method for stereoscopic images by deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). Inspired by the internal generative mechanism (IGM) in the human brain, which ... -
Stimuli-responsive releasing of gold nanoparticles and liposomes from aptamer-functionalized hydrogels
(Institute of Physics, 2011-11-21)Controlled release of therapeutic agents is important for improving drug efficacy and reducing toxicity. Recently, hydrogels have been used for controlled release applications. While the majority of the previous work focused ... -
Stitch Bond Process of Pd-Coated Cu Wire: Experimental and Numerical Studies of Process Parameters and Materials
(IMAPS, 2013)Cost reduction is the main driver in the recent transition to Cu wire bonding from predominate Au wire bonding. Other cost reduction in packaging comes from new developments in substrates and lead frames, for example, ...
