Coordinated path following of unicycles : A nested invariant sets approach
(Elsevier, 2015)We formulate a coordinated path following problem for N unicycle mobile robots as an instance of a nested set stabilization problem. Stabilization of the first set corresponds to driving the unicycles to their assigned ... -
Coping with negative mental images in social anxiety disorder: Investigating the potential benefits of image morphing
(Sage, 2019-01-31)Negative mental imagery contributes to symptom maintenance in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Here, we investigated the effects of image morphing, a brief mental strategy designed to facilitate access to positive images. ... -
A copula model for marked point processes
(Springer, 2013)Many chronic diseases feature recurring clinically important events. In addition, however, there often exists a random variable which is realized upon the occurrence of each event reflecting the severity of the event, a ... -
Corneal sensitivity after ocular surgery
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-07-01)The cornea is densely innervated with free nerve endings to provide a high level of sensitivity to foreign bodies or noxious substances. They also provide trophic support to the tissues of the cornea and facilitate their ... -
Corneal Swelling with Cosmetic etafilcon A Lenses versus No Lens Wear:
(Wolters & Kluwer, 2016-06)Purpose: To determine if the use of pigments or adding polyvinyl pyrrolidone during the fabrication of 1-DAY ACUVUE DEFINE (AD) brand contact lenses impacts open-eye corneal swelling compared with no lens wear (NLW). ... -
Corner-based estimation of tire forces and vehicle velocities robust to road conditions
(Elsevier, 2017-04)Recent developments in vehicle stability control and active safety systems have led to an interest in reliable vehicle state estimation on various road conditions. This paper presents a novel method for tire force and ... -
A correction method for systematic error in 1H-NMR time-course data validated through stochastic cell culture simulation
(BioMed Central, 2015-09-04)Background: The growing ubiquity of metabolomic techniques has facilitated high frequency time-course data collection for an increasing number of applications. While the concentration trends of individual metabolites can ... -
The correction of static and dynamic aniseikonia with spectacles and contact lenses
(Wiley, 2017-02-16)We describe a case of where significant anisometropic astigmatism was accompanied with considerable asthenopic symptoms. Symptoms were not alleviated by the prescribing of a partial spectacle correction. Subsequent treatment ... -
Correction: Faught et al. “Socioeconomic Disadvantage across the Life Course is associated with Diet Quality in Young Adulthood” Nutrients, 2019, 11(2), 242
(MDPI AG, 2019-08)We noticed an error in the text that requires correcting as it may contribute to an incorrect understanding of our study’s scientific conclusions. In the text accompanying Table 4 (Section 3.3: Mediation Analysis (Pathways ... -
Correlates of whole-blood polyunsaturated fatty acids among young children with moderate acute malnutrition
(BioMed Central, 2017-07-13)Background: Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) has been associated with low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) status. However, investigations regarding PUFA status and correlates in children with moderate acute malnutrition ... -
Correlation between mechanical dissipation and improved X-band electromagnetic shielding capabilities of amine functionalized graphene/thermoplastic polyurethane composites
(Elsevier, 2017-08-24)Graphene-based polymer nanocomposites have demonstrated significant promise to create commercially viable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to protect the next-generation of electronic materials from radiative ... -
Correlation of photobleaching, oxidation and metal induced fluorescence quenching of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-04-07)Few-atom noble metal nanoclusters have attracted a lot of interest due to their potential applications in biosensor development, imaging and catalysis. DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) are of particular interest ... -
Correlation of visually evoked intrinsic optical signals and electroretinograms recorded from chicken retina with a combined functional optical coherence tomography and electroretinography system
(Society of Photo Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2012-02-08)Visually evoked fast intrinsic optical signals (IOSs) were recorded for the first time in vivo from all layers of healthy chicken retina by using a combined functional optical coherence tomography (fOCT) and electroretinography ... -
A Correlation to Quantify Convective Heat Transfer Between Vertical Window Glazings
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1996)Several correlations have been used in recent years for the purpose of calculating convective, centre-glass heat transfer rates across gas-filled interpane window cavities. These correlations are examined and their background ... -
Corrosion performance of medical grade NiTi after laser processing
(Elsevier, 2017-09-15)Laser processing of shape memory alloys (SMAs) has great potential to enable the multi-functionality required for complex applications. Achieving this improved functionality often requires laser processing of the SMA's ... -
Corundum formation by metasomatic reactions in Archean metapelite, SW Greenland: Exploration vectors for ruby deposits within high-grade greenstone belts
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)Corundum (ruby-sapphire) is known to have formed in situ within Archean metamorphic rocks at several localities in the North Atlantic Craton of Greenland. Here we present two case studies for such occurrences: (1) Maniitsoq ... -
Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation Of Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccines For Seasonal Influenza Prevention: A Dynamic Modeling Study Of Canada And The United Kingdom
