Thermal resistance measurement of glazing system edge-seals and seal materials using a guarded heater plate apparatus
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1989)In cold climates the increased edge-glass heat transfer at the perimeter of a sealed glazing unit creates a special problem. This is where condensed water and frost most readily occur. One mechanism contributing to edge-glass ... -
Thermal Resistance of a Window with an Enclosed Venetian Blind: A Simplified Model
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2008)Solar gain has a strong influence on building energy consumption and peak cooling load. Venetian blinds are routinely used to control solar gain. Software based on 1-D models is available to accurately predict the thermal ... -
Thermal Resistance of a Window with an Enclosed Venetian Blind: Guarded Heater Plate Measurements
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2006)Window solar gain is known to have a strong influence on building energy consumption and peak cooling load. Venetian blinds are routinely used to control solar gain. Software based on one-dimensional models is available ... -
Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Adaptive Binding in the Malachite Green RNA Aptamer
(American Chemical Society, 2013-09-24)Adaptive binding, the ability of molecules to fold themselves around the structure of a ligand and thereby incorporating it into their three-dimensional fold, is a key feature of most RNA aptamers. The malachite green ... -
The Thermoheliodome – “Air conditioning” without conditioning the air, using radiant cooling and indirect evaporation
(Elsevier, 2017-12-15)The Thermoheliodome is an experimental pavilion that explores cooling without air conditioning. The two research aims were to explore the use of indirect evaporative cooling and the geometric reflection of radiant cooling. ... -
Thigh-calf contact parameters for six high knee flexion postures: Onset, maximum angle, total force, contact area, and center of force.
(Elsevier, 2018-01-23)In high knee flexion, contact between the posterior thigh and calf is expected to decrease forces on tibiofemoral contact surfaces, therefore, thigh-calf contact needs to be thoroughly characterized to model its effect. ... -
Thin liquid film between a floating oil droplet and a glass slide under DC electric field
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)Hypothesis The shape of the liquid film (SLF) between a glass slide and an oil droplet immersed in an aqueous solution is influenced by the direct current (DC) electric field. The liquid film, consisting of the central ... -
Thinking Outside The Library: Being Embedded In A Professional Practice Lab
(2014-01-31)Librarians need to strategically market their expertise, which often involves thinking outside of the library for meaningful collaborations. Partnering with a Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technician, a librarian provided on-site ... -
Thioflavin T fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy 1 suggesting a non-G-quadruplex structure for a 2 sodium binding aptamer embedded in DNAzymes
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-09-16)Recently, a Na+-binding aptamer was reported to be embedded in a few RNA-cleaving DNAzymes including NaA43, Ce13d and NaH1. These DNAzymes require Na+ for activity but show no activity in the presence of K+ or other metal ... -
Thixotropic gel electrolyte containing poly(ethylene glycol) with high zinc ion concentration for the secondary aqueous Zn/ LiMn2O4 battery
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)We have designed an aqueous gel electrolyte containing fumed silica as the thixotropic gelling agent and poly(ethylene glycol) (MW = 300 g·mol−1) as the non-thixotropic gelling agent. Poly(ethylene glycol) is also the ... -
Thought Suppression
(Oxford University Press, 2020-01-30)The idea that suppressing an unwanted thought results in an ironic increase in its frequency is accepted as psychological fact. Wegner’s ironic processes model has been applied to understanding the development and persistence ... -
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 ... -
