The residual stresses in a TiN film deposited by a reactive ion coating process on a 316 stainless steel sheet were determined by the sin$ X-ray diffraction method, at temperatures from 15-800 “C. Using specially designed nickel clips, the coated strip was heated by the passage of a resistive current, in conjunction with a surround heater, and the temperature was measured by a Pt/Pt-lO%Rh therm...

Recent evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging suggests that cortical hemodynamic responses coincide in different subjects experiencing a common naturalistic stimulus. Here we utilize neural responses in the electroencephalogram (EEG) evoked by multiple presentations of short film clips to index brain states marked by high levels of correlation within and across subjects. We formula...

Our emotional responses to stressors do not occur in a vacuum; rather, they are dependent upon the context in which they take place. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in identifying such contextual influences on emotional processes. However, two important questions have yet to be answered. First, little is known about how motivational context (e.g., motivational conflict) can a...

Emotion regulation difficulties have been implicated in the maintenance of many anxiety disorders. However, existing research has relied mostly on self-report measures of emotion regulation or one type of mood induction. The present study examined the relationships between anxiety symptoms and emotional reactivity and tolerance using multiple assessment methodologies. Participants (N=122) compl...

We have witnessed a large increase in the number of publications on sustainability challenges over the past decade. One important characteristic of the research is with the wide variety of actors that can make use of the results. Sustainability knowledge is often not only relevant for those in academia or policy-making circles, but it can also be useful for decision-makers in a diversity of soc...

A synopsis of the types of vascular clips (malleable clips, screw clips, and spring clips) used by neurosurgeons during this century is presented. A review of the pertinent literature is included.

This paper presents the application of inheritance to the formal taxonomy (is-a) of a semantically rich Lexical Resource (LR) based on the Generative Lexicon theory, SIMPLE-CLIPS. The aim is to lighten the representation of its semantic layer by reducing the number of encoded relations. A prediction calculation on the impact of introducing inheritance as regards space occupancy is carried out, ...

We present a system for automatic people tracking and activity recognition. This video includes the contribution of 3 papers over 2 years [1], [2], [3]. We show results on many sequences, including clips from a feature-length film and historical sports footage (all tracked completely automatically). We show results that utilize the tracker to obtain 3D reconstructions and activity descriptions ...
