The Course of Pharnakes II’s Pontic and Bosporan Campaigns in 48/47 BC
(University of Toronto Press, 2020-11-01)Appian’s account of Pharnakes’ Pontic campaign (Mithr. 120.590–595) conveys the impression that the king of the Bosporos started his attack on Asia Minor by attacking Sinope from the sea. The end of the narrative, however, ... -
Covalent linking DNA to graphene oxide and its comparison with physisorbed probes for Hg2+ detection
(Elsevier, 2016-05-15)Graphene oxide (GO) has attracted extensive research interest as a platform for DNA adsorption and biosensor development. While most researchers use simple physisorption of fluorescently labeled DNA, covalent sensors are ... -
COVID-19's implications on agri-food systems and human health in Bangladesh
(Elsevier, 2021)The COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh has put agri-food systems and resultant human health under serious pressure and this has thus become a priority concern for the country and its development partners. To understand, ... -
A Cox-Aalen model for interval-censored data
(Wiley, 2015-06)The Cox-Aalen model, obtained by replacing the baseline hazard function in the well-known Cox model with a covariate-dependent Aalen model, allows for both fixed and dynamic covariate effects. In this paper, we examine ... -
Cr3+ Binding to DNA Backbone Phosphate and Bases: Slow Ligand Exchange Rates and Metal Hydrolysis
(American Chemical Society, 2017-06-07)The interaction between chromium ions and DNA is of great interest in inorganic chemistry, toxicology, and analytical chemistry. Most previous studies focused on in situ reduction of Cr(VI), producing Cr3+ for DNA binding. ... -
Creating Your Bubble: Personal Space On and Around Large Public Displays
(ACM, 2016-05)We describe an empirical study that explores how users establish and use personal space around large public displays (LPDs). Our study complements field studies in this space by more fully characterizing interpersonal ... -
Critical assessment of influenza VLP production in Sf9 and HEK293 expression systems
(BioMed Central, 2015-05-16)Background: Each year, influenza is responsible for hundreds of thousand cases of illness and deaths worldwide. Due to the virus' fast mutation rate, the World Health Organization (WHO) is constantly on alert to rapidly ... -
Critical Dynamics In Population Vaccinating Behavior
(National Academy of Sciences, 2017-12-26)Vaccine refusal can lead to renewed outbreaks of previously eliminated diseases and even delay global eradication. Vaccinating decisions exemplify a complex, coupled system where vaccinating behavior and disease dynamics ... -
Critical exponents of infinite balanced words
(Elsevier, 2019-07-19)Over an alphabet of size 3 we construct an infinite balanced word with critical exponent 2 + root2/2. Over an alphabet of size 4 we construct an infinite balanced word with critical exponent (5 + root5)/4. Over larger ... -
Critical Reading Across the Engineering Disciplines
(Association of College and Research Libraries a Division of the American Library Association, 2023-01)Engineering students spend a significant amount of time discovering, evaluating, and reading/interpreting information. This book chapter discusses the existing knowledge around undergraduate engineering student information ... -
A critical review of solid phase microextraction for analysis of water samples
(Elsevier, 2016-12-01)The review summarizes applications of solid phase microextraction (SPME) for water sample analysis. Official methods and standards of SPME in water research and inter-laboratory validation are discussed. A comparison of ... -
Criticism and accommodation are associated with treatment concerns in close others to those with anxiety
(British Psychological Society, 2022-10-18)Objectives. Those close to people with mental health difficulties (e.g., family members, romantic partners and close friends) are often involved in their care decisions. Research shows that criticism by close others and ... -
A Cross-Cultural Investigation of Metamotivational Knowledge of Construal Level in the United States and Japan
(American Psychological Association, 2020)Metamotivation refers to the beliefs and mechanisms by which people regulate their motivational states to achieve desired ends. Recent metamotivation research demonstrates that Westerners recognize the benefits of engaging ... -
Crowdsourcing the Disaster Management Cycle
(IGI Global, 2016-10-01)Crowdsourcing is a communication platform that can be used during and after a disastrous event. Previous research in crisis crowdsourcing demonstrates its wide adoption for aiding response efforts by non-government ... -
Cultural mosaic beliefs as a new measure of the psychological climate for diversity: Individual distinctiveness and synergy in culturally diverse teams
(Sage Publishing, 2017-12-11)This article introduces the concept of cultural mosaic beliefs (CMBs) as a component of effective multicultural work groups. Building on theories of group diversity and self-verification, and responding to calls to understand ... -
Curioscape: A Curiosity-driven Escape Room Board Game
(CHI PLAY '20: The Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play, 2020-11-02)Are you frustrated when a board game has too many rules? Do you want to jump straight into the game and just play? We created Curioscape, an escape room board game that focuses on the idea of whether eliminating a rule ... -
Curl-Flow: Boundary-respecting pointwise incompressible velocity interpolation for grid-based fluids
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2022-12)We propose to augment standard grid-based fluid solvers with pointwise divergence-free velocity interpolation, thereby ensuring exact incompressibility down to the sub-cell level. Our method takes as input a discretely ... -
