Three Phase-Grating Moire Neutron Interferometer for Large Interferometer Area Applications
(American Physical Society, 2018-03-12)We demonstrate a three phase-grating moire neutron interferometer in a highly intense neutron beam as a robust candidate for large area interferometry applications and for the characterization of materials. This novel ... -
Three-dimensional comparison of static and dynamic scapular motion tracking techniques
(Elsevier, 2014-02)The shoulder is complex and comprised of many moving parts. Accurately measuring shoulder rhythm is difficult. To classify shoulder rhythm and identify pathological movement, static measures have been the preferred method. ... -
A three-dimensional forward dynamic model of the golf swing optimized for ball carry distance
(Springer, 2016-12-01)A 3D predictive golfer model can be a valuable tool for investigating the golf swing and designing new clubs. A forward dynamic model, which includes a four degree of freedom golfer model, a flexible shaft based on Rayleigh ... -
Three-dimensional imaging of aquifer and aquitard heterogeneity via transient hydraulic tomography at a highly heterogeneous field site
(Elsevier, 2018-04-01)Previous studies have shown that geostatistics-based transient hydraulic tomography (THT) is robust for subsurface heterogeneity characterization through the joint inverse modeling of multiple pumping tests. However, the ... -
Three-dimensional micromechanical assessment of bio-inspired composites with non-uniformly dispersed inclusions
(Elsevier, 2019-03-15)Bio-inspired composites with hexagonal platelet and cylindrical inclusions were studied. A novel algorithm termed staggered hardcore algorithm (SHCA) was used to rapidly generate 3D periodic representative volume elements ... -
Three-dimensional simulations of sound propagation in a trumpet with accurate mouthpiece shank geometry
(arXiv, 2016-11-01)The length and bore geometry of musical instruments directly influences the quality of sound that can be produced. In brass instruments, nonlinear effects from finite-amplitude wave propagation can lead to wave distortion ... -
Tilt grain boundaries in a diblock copolymer ordered nanocomposite lamellar phase
(AIP publishing, 2010-10-08)A hybrid self-consistent field theory/density functional theory method is applied to predict tilt(kink) grain boundary structures between lamellar domains of a symmetric diblock copolymer with added spherical nanoparticles. ... -
Time Course of Dichoptic Masking in Normals and Suppression in Amblyopes
(Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2014-07)Purpose.: To better understand the relationship between dichoptic masking in normal vision and suppression in amblyopia we address three questions: First, what is the time course of dichoptic masking in normals and amblyopes? ... -
Time Weighted Average Concentration Monitoring Based on Thin Film Solid Phase Microextraction
(American Chemical Society, 2017-04-04)Time weighted average (TWA) passive sampling with thin film solid: phase micro extraction (TF-SPME) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for collection, identification, and quantification ... -
Time-consistent mean–variance portfolio optimization: A numerical impulse control approach
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)We investigate the time-consistent mean–variance (MV) portfolio optimization problem, popular in investment–reinsurance and investment-only applications, under a realistic context that involves the simultaneous application ... -
Time-course monitoring of in vitro biotransformation reaction via solid-phase microextraction-ambient mass spectrometry approaches
(Elsevier, 2021-08)The solid-phase microextraction technique quantifies analytes without considerably affecting the sample composition. Herein, a proof-of-concept study was conducted to demonstrate the use of coated probe electrospray ... -
Time-dependent damage analysis for viscoelastic-viscoplastic structural laminates under biaxial loading
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Many composite structures are required to sustain severe thermo-mechanical loads over extended periods of time, during which viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior can cause the progression of micro-damage. In this paper, ... -
TiO2 membranes for concurrent photocatalytic organic degradation and corrosion protection
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2015-10-09)Organic contaminants and corrosion in water treatment effluents are a current global problem and the development of effective methods to facilitate the removal of organic contaminants and corrosion control strategies are ... -
Tissue storage affects lipidome profiling in comparison to in vivo microsampling approach
(Springer, 2018-05-03)Low-invasive in vivo solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was used to investigate the lipid profiles of muscle tissue of living fish. Briefly, mixed mode SPME fibers were inserted into the muscle for 20 min extraction, and ... -
To Approach or to Avoid: The Role of Ambivalent Motivation in Attentional Biases to Threat and Spider Fear
(Springer, 2021-01-03)Background People with anxiety difficulties show different patterns in their deployment of attention to threat compared to people without anxiety difficulties. These attentional biases are assumed to play a critical role ... -
Topical anaesthetic use prior to rigid gas permeable contact lens fitting
(Elsevier, 2017-07-11)Purpose To investigate effect of topical anaesthetic (TA) during gas permeable (GP) contact lens (CL) fitting on subjective and objective measures of patient anxiety. Methods 47 subjects (mean ± sd age = 26.9 ± 4.9 ... -
Topographically generated internal waves and boundary layer instabilities
(American Institute of Physics, 2015-08)Flow over topography has been shown to generate finite amplitude internal waves upstream, over the topography and downstream. Such waves can interact with the viscous bottom boundary layer to produce vigorous instabilities. ... -
